## About The Pull Request
I've been meaning to do this for some time. I need this for
portable/handheld aquariums/fishtanks to be possible. I'll sprite and
code them before I call this PR ready, however suggestions and code
reviews are welcome in the meantime.
Being a pretty heavy refactor, some things might break (we have more
than a few unit tests so perhaps not) while others, coincidentally,
might be fixed without me knowing. Anyway I'm sure this PR fixes
aquarium beauty, which wasn't really working to begin with because the
code was so fucking bad. Nothing really worth of a CL entry tho.
TODO:
- [x] handheld aquariums, craftable with a kit and little plastic or
buyable from the fun vendor ig.
- [x] an aquarium upgrade for handheld aquariums to bypass possible
restrictions.
- [x] update the beauty element to consider items, which shouldn't
contribute to the area beauty when held or otherwise not on a turf.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This should make handheld aquariums possible.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored aquariums heavily. Please report any fishy bug.
add: Added portable/handheld fish tanks to the game. They can be crafted
with an aquarium kit and 5 sheets of plastic. While portable, they
cannot store fish that are too big or if there're too many already. This
restriction can be removed by using the new "bluespace fish tank kit"
techweb item.
map: Replaced the lawyer's stationary pet aquarium with a fish tank, so
you can carry McGill around.
balance: Reduced the iron cost of stationary aquariums a little.

## About The Pull Request
Firstly, this var was on `/mob`, even though only `/mob/living` and
`/mob/dead` could have ever used it, so who knows how much needless
memory it was consuming on stuff such as `oranges_ear` that would never
ever ever use something like this.
Edit: okay instead of memory it just polluted variable edit windows for
all /mob when it didn't need to. I like having a slim VV window
Secondly, it's a technical improvement over the previous system as we
are able to "track" where a suicide originates from, and how we can
track that from mob-to-mob-to-mob. Previously, the boolean `suiciding`
would only inform us if they had ever been connected to a mob that had
ever committed suicide, but now we are able to precisely determine which
mob gave them the trait that they must now apparently bear until the
round restarts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less memory usage, more indepth ability to track suicides in case you
really need that dexterity. Currently no implemented code could benefit
from using it, but it would be pretty neat if someone could figure out a
way to have someone be guilt-tripped whenever they look into a mirror
and seeing the reflection of their past life? This PR won't actually
help you code that and it'll probably require a bit more work, but it's
a possibility of some cool interactions you can do when you have this
information available to you.

refactor: Some aspects of how we track suicides from your living mob to
your observer have changed- please do let us know if anything has broken
via a GitHub Issue Report.

There's probably some technical improvements that can be made in some
parts of the code I reworked to accommodate this change, do let me know
if you spot any easy ones (or fuckups). a lot of excess comes from the
fact that any step in the TRAIT framework trusts that you are passing in
a valid datum (or subtype) so that's a thing
Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

About The Pull Request
Makes the "Ian Adventure" station trait more interesting by giving him deadchat control (democracy mode, 3 seconds cooldown on inputs) and a couple extra lives* to survive early round tiding.
*Basically, a new component that respawns the critter when he dies. The component itself is simple enough, but it sends a signal each respawn to allow other datums to expand this behavior how they want. I've contemplated adding a signal that can stop death, dusting and gibbing instead of respawning the mob at first but because death(), dust() and gib() were made with the assertion that the mob is always going to die I've quickly realized it'd require a refactor that's way too big and out of scope.
The deadchat control of corgis only include commands to change and drop hats, "speak" (random lines from the speak list of the mob) and spin (other than cardinal movement) for now. I'd have loved to add more complex commands (like, argumented) that can potentially be relayed to the AI controller, but I guess that'll have to wait until the thing gets refactored a little.
Why It's Good For The Game
"Ian's Adventure" is a really bland station trait at the moment. All it does is move Ian somewhere else at the start of the round. Even by the station traits standard of being small things this is insignificant, and also pretty bad considering Ian is not actually going on an adventure since he lacks the initiative to do anything being an npc dog.
This PR aims to breath fresh air into this station trait and push it toward a slighty more engaging direction, though it relies on observers to work, while still being a small """"cute"""" station trait.
