## About The Pull Request
Removes Station-Time entirely
Server Time is now NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time). SS13 takes place
exactly 540 years in the future of the current day, so every second is 1
second in-game.
Round Time is now PT (Pay-Time), how Nanotrasen keeps track of how long
the current rotation of Employees has been working for.
Telecomms uses NST due to its importance of being the communication to
the blackbox.
Autopsy report, clocks, scientific reports and requisitions use both
timestamps due to them being more official documents that NT may need to
know beyond just the current round (just for flavortext).
Pretty much everything else (Det scanner, PDA, IC logs, Time-of-Death,
AI law changes, Cyborg file downloading) uses PT

# Other changes
1. Circuit time checker will now get the value of the given input (Hour,
Minute, Second) rather than the full dedisecond time converted into
hour/minutes/seconds

2. Turns nightshift into a round event that'll last approximately 22
minutes
3. 12-hour pref (doesn't apply to the stat panel because it's global
info) & removal of "TCT" time

/>
4. The chocolate pudding negative moodlet is now based on the server's
IRL time.
5. Admins can now use ``class``, ``style`` and ``background`` (they were
already given perms to use ``img`` so hiding background, which was
removed to prevent image embedding, is pointless)
6. Also fixes ``year`` being off on localhost.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Server Time is approximately 1s = 12s converted, not including it
desyncing from lag (I believe?).
This makes it pretty much impossible for people to actually use this as
a unit of measurement for in-game actions.
Different things also uses different timestamps which is a bit more
confusing.
The main change here is for accessibility and, hopefully, using time as
a source of immersion. "20 minutes ago" is no longer OOC, they're just
speaking in PT. There's no timezones in space, Nanotrasen Standard Time
is the closest there is, but Pay Time is how NT considers when you get
your paychecks, so it's what is more commonly used.
It also fixes major inconsistencies between "IC time" and "Station
time", things like breakfast moodlet was the first 15mins of the round
despite the round starting like 7 hours in? Nukies with an L6 SAW firing
down the halls was shooting like 1 bullet every 3 seconds (assuming 4
bullets per second), overall there was just a disconnect between how
long time actually is in the universe.
The secondary reason for this change (though it is what pushed me to
actually get around to making this change) is the greater stat-panel
removal. This hopes to lessen the dependence on the stat panel for
station-time by making it easier to understand, and the end-goal I have
is for this information to be limited to Admins & the AI (AI will get
the IC version with the accurate year), so until that happens I would
like to improve the use of station-time by making it consistent (for
example, you should only care for PT for IC, which is also what your PDA
displays), so that when it gets removed it won't leave players timeless.
If you haven't already, and is interested in helping remove the stat
panel, every entry that needs to be removed can be found here -

## Changelog
🆑
del: Removed Station Time, now we use NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time),
which is IRL server time +540 years, and PT (Pay Time), the amount of
time since the round has started.
del: Station nightshift is now a Station event rather than being based
on Server time.
balance: Time circuit's Unit of Measure now tells the amount of time in
hour/minute/seconds rather than giving the whole time translated to
hours/minutes/seconds.
qol: Added a 12-hour clock pref for people who prefer it.
qol: Hovering over NST timestamps on official documents will now
translate how much it is in PT/Shift Time.
admin: Admins can now use style/class/background in their papercode.

## About The Pull Request
So, some admin verbs/tools that used tguis, i.e edit/debug planes, were
available to admins with +DEBUG... but the ui_state used
`GLOB.admin_state`, which checks for +ADMIN - meaning that if they
_only_ had +DEBUG, they would have the verb... but it would do nothing
when they used it.
I've refactored `GLOB.admin_state`, `GLOB.debug_state`, and
`GLOB.fun_state` into a merged `/datum/ui_state/admin_state`, with a var
for which specific permissions are being checked for.
You now use the `ADMIN_STATE(perms)` macro to get the UI state for those
specific perms, i.e `admin_state(R_ADMIN)` or `admin_state(R_DEBUG)`,
and the resulting UI state will check for _those specific perms_.
These are initialized and cached in `GLOB.admin_states` (which should
never be directly accessed).
So, I've went thru every single usage of `GLOB.admin_state`,
`GLOB.fun_state`, and `GLOB.debug_state`, and made them all use
`ADMIN_STATE()` with the actual permission flags needed to use said UI
in the first place.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kinda dumb for specific admin permissions to be granted verbs that don't
let them use it anyways.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Certain UI-based tools (plane debugger, filter editor, etc) that
were given to admins with only +VAREDIT or +DEBUG, but refused to open
without +ADMIN, now actually work for admins that have the needed
permission.

## About The Pull Request
Addition to [#84910](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/84910)
Added a "print" button to the request manager. It simply prints at the
centcom station the paper that was faxed to the admins.
Also added "Auto-print Faxes" button to the request manager, which
allows you to enable automatic printing of requests on the admin fax

## Why It's Good For The Game
The message in the chat may get lost. In this case, it will no longer be
possible to print the paper sent to the CC
Changing the allow_exotic_faxes variable will allow you to fax something
unusual to the station in (very rare) situations. No need to manually
change this variable
## Changelog
🆑
add: added a "print" button to the request manager
add: admin fax can now send exotic items
add: added "Auto-print Faxes" button to the request manager, which
allows you to enable automatic printing of requests on the admin fax
fix: fixed a bug where pressing the print button would cause the receive
animation to appear on all admin faxes.

## About The Pull Request
After https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80628, these shouldn't
be needed anymore right?
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleans up some vestigial code
## Changelog
EDIT: Not player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a bunch of sanity checking to the `prefs.chat_toggles` var
accesses.
Prefs can be null when client is creating/deleting and this causes a
runtime where you might not be able to use emotes.
EDIT: as per suggestion I stopped masking the issue and added stack
traces instead. And made them into helper procs to avoid code
duplication.
For some of these procs it is important that we are able to continue
running to get to the end. **A ghost having null prefs should not stop
everyone else from hearing/seeing the emote.**
So now they will put the stack trace and keep on trucking if that issue
occurs. This is the main 'point' of the PR, which has seemingly gotten
bogged down in the creation of the two helper procs--apologies.
See https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70404 for essentially
the same issue but applied to chat messages. I have gone back and
replaced the duplicated code from that to use the new helper procs
instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Anything chat related is a bad place to runtime. Some messages can take
a while to type out and to have it not display is frustrating at worst,
possibly detrimental if you have to communicate something urgently.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
Implements the Requests Manager, a new admin tool used to view all prayers, Centcom/Syndicate requests, and nuke code requests within the span of a round.
The verb can be found under Admin.Game, or alternatively just use the verb directly Requests Manager. The requests can be filtered by type (using the type filter button), or using a text search which searches both the message text as well as the request owner's name.
