## About The Pull Request
When a camera update is triggered, it is instead added to a queue on a
background subsystem
An AI entering a camera chunk which is queued to update will force the
update immediately (bypassing the queue)
While the root problem of this is, ultimately, not addressed...

...the change will ultimately prevent update spam from consuming all of
the server's resources - instead allocating updates to the backburner in
times of high server stress (or on multi-z maps)

## About The Pull Request
Cyborgs now have an alert that shows when someone is watching their
internal camera through a security camera console. SyndEye is excluded
from this as it's spying instead.
Made as an alternative to
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90410 but they also aren't
mutually exclusive, though I have the same fix for borg camera cutting
in this one too.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5dfe92f8-8948-4a80-bb64-cbeaca4f80e0
##### This is part of the same code bounty as
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90410
## Why It's Good For The Game
Pretty much the same reason this PR is an alternative to, it's hard for
borgs to get away with doing antagonist stuff when people are able to
silently watch them at any point from any console or laptop laying
around the station, of which there are many. This hopefully lets borgs
know if someone is watching, to avoid doing anything in front of the
cameras, and to encourage them to get said cameras cut if they plan on
doing anything.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Drones now have internal cameras that shows up on camera consoles
(like Cyborgs)
balance: Cyborgs (and drones) now get a notification when someone is
watching them through a security camera console.
fix: Cutting a Cyborg's camera wire now properly disables it, and
mending it now properly re-enables it.

## About The Pull Request
This PR should fix the problem of small previews in TGUI once and for
all (I hope).
What was causing it? Because TGUI takes a long time to open, that's why
previews were generated broken (small).
On Byond 515 this problem was not so noticeable as the interfaces opened
faster, but with the release of 516 it became much worse.
Previews were generated inside a window that was not yet open, so the
scale was broken, sometimes the window would open before the preview was
done and sent, usually with small interfaces, or when reopening.
I'm not very good at working with signals, and to tell the truth this is
my second experience with them, so I hope I did it right.
## Why It's Good For The Game
No more small map previews

## About The Pull Request
Currently to check for Silicon access, we do:
``if is silicon or is admin ghost or has unlimited silicon privileges or
has machine remote in hand``
What has unlimited silicon privileges? Bots, Drones, and admin ghosts.
To check for AI access, it just checks for AI instead of silicon, and
doesnt check for unlimited silicon privileges.
This was kinda silly, so I thought I should make this a little easier to
understand.
Now all silicon/ai traits come from ``AI_ACCESS_TRAIT`` or
``SILICON_ACCESS_TRAIT``. I made a single exception to keep Admin ghost,
since now instead of being a var on the client, we moved it to using the
same trait but giving it to the client instead, but since we have to
keep parity with previous functionality (admins can spawn in and not
have this on, it only works while as a ghost), I kept previous checks as
well.
No more type checks, removes a silly var on the mob level and another on
the client.
Now while I was doing this, I found a lot of tgui's ``ui_act`` still
uses ``usr`` and the wrong args, so I fixed those wherever I saw them,
and used a mass replace for the args.
Other changes:
- machinery's ``ui_act`` from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81250 had ``isAI`` replaced
with ``HAS_AI_ACCESS``, this has been reverted. Machine wands and admin
ghosts no longer get kicked off things not on cameras. This was my
fault, I overlooked this when adding Human AI.
- Human AI's wand gives AI control as long as it's in your hand, you can
swap to your offhand. I hope this doesn't end up going horribly,
otherwise I'll revert this part. It should let human AIs not have their
UI closed on them when swapping to eat food or use their door wand or
whatnot.
- Bots previously had special checks to scan reagents and be
unobservant, I replaced this with giving them the trait. I also fixed an
instance of unobservant not being used, so now statues don't affect the
basic creature, whatever that is.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is an easier to understand way of handling silicon access and makes
these mobs more consistent between eachother.
Other than what I've mentioned above, this should have no impact on
gameplay itself.

## About The Pull Request
I was looking at sounds (as you do) and I noticed this
These sounds don't exist
We have `portal_open_1`, not `portal_open1`.
This wasn't caught on compile because they used `""` and not `''`.
So I went through and audited a bunch of playsound uses that don't use
`''`. Only one error, fortunately
Likewise there was a ton of places running `get_sfx` pointlessly
(because `playsound` does it for you) so I clened that up.
However while auditing the portal stuff I noticed a few oddities, so I
cleaned it up a bit.
Also also I added the portal sounds to the wormholes event and gave it a

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#82440
This PR just creates a new macro, `LOWER_TEXT()` (yes the irony is not
lost on me) to wrap around all calls of `lowertext()` and ensure that
whatever we input into that proc will be stringified using the `"[]"`
(or `tostring()` for the nerds) operator. very simple.
I also added a linter to enforce this (and prevent all forms of
regression) because I think that machines should do the menial work and
we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you
disagree. if there is a time when it should be opted out for some
reason, the linter does respect it if you wrap your input with the
`UNLINT()` function.
## About The Pull Request
Removes the camera assembly structure middleman between the camera
wallframe and camera machine. All its behavior has been instead moved to
the camera, and I've tried to keep as much of the behavior the same as
before.
This also fixes the issue that camera assemblies had where, upon the
construction being finished, it would move itself into the newly
finished camera machine, therefore taking itself off a wall, therefore
deconstructing itself. This resulted in 2 piece of iron being in each
camera machine (except roundstart ones), and because camera machines
rely on the assembly inside of them for upgrades and such, upgrading
didn't work at all.
I've also made camera nets use defines (not in map) so it's easier to
find a list of them all, and tried to add autodoc comments to nearly
every var in camera code.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Removes all arbitrary energy and power units in the codebase. Everything
is replaced with the joule and watt, with 1 = 1 joule, or 1 watt if you
are going to multiply by time. This is a visible change, where all
arbitrary energy units you see in the game will get proper prefixed
units of energy.
With power cells being converted to the joule, charging one joule of a
power cell will require one joule of energy.
The grid will now store energy, instead of power. When an energy usage
is described as using the watt, a power to energy conversion based on
the relevant subsystem's timing (usually multiplying by seconds_per_tick
or applying power_to_energy()) is needed before adding or removing from
the grid. Power usages that are described as the watt is really anything
you would scale by time before applying the load. If it's described as a
joule, no time conversion is needed. Players will still read the grid as
power, having no visible change.
Machines that dynamically use power with the use_power() proc will
directly drain from the grid (and apc cell if there isn't enough)
instead of just tallying it up on the dynamic power usages for the area.
This should be more robust at conserving energy as the surplus is
updated on the go, preventing charging cells from nothing.
APCs no longer consume power for the dynamic power usage channels. APCs
will consume power for static power usages. Because static power usages
are added up without checking surplus, static power consumption will be
applied before any machine processes. This will give a more truthful
surplus for dynamic power consumers.
APCs will display how much power it is using for charging the cell. APC
cell charging applies power in its own channel, which gets added up to
the total. This will prevent invisible power usage you see when looking
at the power monitoring console.
After testing in MetaStation, I found roundstart power consumption to be
around 406kW after all APCs get fully charged. During the roundstart APC
charge rush, the power consumption can get as high as over 2MW (up to
25kW per roundstart APC charging) as long as there's that much
available.
Because of the absurd potential power consumption of charging APCs near
roundstart, I have changed how APCs decide to charge. APCs will now
charge only after all other machines have processed in the machines
processing subsystem. This will make sure APC charging won't disrupt
machines taking from the grid, and should stop APCs getting their power
drained due to others demanding too much power while charging. I have
removed the delays for APC charging too, so they start charging
immediately whenever there's excess power. It also stops them turning
red when a small amount of cell gets drained (airlocks opening and shit
during APC charge rush), as they immediately become fully charged
(unless too much energy got drained somehow) before changing icon.
Engineering SMES now start at 100% charge instead of 75%. I noticed
cells were draining earlier than usual after these changes, so I am
making them start maxed to try and combat that.
These changes will fix all conservation of energy issues relating to
charging powercells.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#73438Closes#75789Closes#80634Closes#82031
Makes it much easier to interface with the power system in the codebase.
It's more intuitive. Removes a bunch of conservation of energy issues,
making energy and power much more meaningful. It will help the
simulation remain immersive as players won't encounter energy
duplication so easily. Arbitrary energy units getting replaced with the
joule will also tell people more meaningful information when reading it.
APC charging will feel more snappy.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixes conservation of energy issues relating to charging
powercells.
qol: APCs will display how much power they are using to charge their
cell. This is accounted for in the power monitoring console.
qol: All arbitrary power cell energy units you see are replaced with
prefixed joules.
balance: As a consequence of the conservation of energy issues getting
fixed, the power consumption for charging cells is now very significant.
balance: APCs only use surplus power from the grid after every machine
processes when charging, preventing APCs from causing others to
discharge while charging.
balance: Engineering SMES start at max charge to combat the increased
energy loss due to conservation of energy fixes.

## About The Pull Request
Camera consoles no longer have infinite range, which was caused by the

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:
1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior
Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.
They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).
They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.
When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.
Extra perks:
Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account
### The machine remote
The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

## About The Pull Request
Another source of runtimes revealed by #79276. Monkeys' AI allows them
to interact with random objects. This normally causes no problems, but
notably, camera consoles do not require you to be literate to use them.
This means that if a monkey randomly slaps one, it attempts to show a UI
to a mob with no client, and runtimes. Camera consoles now simply
disallow mobs without `TRAIT_ADVANCEDTOOLUSER` from using them, which
nicely keeps monkeys out.
I don't know if there's a more broad way to go about not showing UI to
clientless mobs, but this is the only case I can think of where it would
actually happen.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills another source of failures during the monkey business unit test.

## About The Pull Request
I would like camera sorting to be handled without having to constantly
get the entire list of cameras and sorting itself, but this occasion it
isn't even necessary, and was only added because I wanted to keep it
consistent with old behavior. This wasn't the best idea, and this is
trying to make amends with that.
Instead of getting the entire list of cameras when swapping cameras, it
instead gets that specific camera from the list and sets your active
camera to that. To do so, camera consoles now have a ref to the camera,
rather than going by name alone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Explained in the about section mostly, we're no longer checking through
and sorting the entire list of cameras every single time you swap from
one camera to another.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Completely reworks how AI tracking is handled, this has no in-game
effects.
This moves nearly all AI tracking handling onto ``/datum/tracking``,
which previously was pretty bad. I tried documenting as much as I can,
making comments actually useful and give accurate information.
Turns ``get_camera_list`` into a global proc, which we now use for
camera consoles (including the app), cutting down on copy paste in 2
areas and standardizing its behavior/backend.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to generalize this behavior so I can use it for tracking
players in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77713 - This
helps me do that.
Also the current state of AI tracking code is pretty poor and hopefully
this improves that area.

Fixes the issue of only static being shown when closing the telescreen
while looking at a camera, then reopening the telescreen and selecting
the camera. Removes the static properly when reopening the telescreen,
instead of skipping it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For most telescreens it wasn't too big of an issue, since it would just
mean reloading it by switching to a working camera, then back to the
desired camera. However, for telescreens connected to networks with only
one camera this isn't possible, meaning the telescreens become unusable
after closing it.

* 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

* 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
I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.)
This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering.
I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother.
Core idea
OK: first thing.
vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc.
This is bad. But how to do better?
It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly.
We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed.
But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect.
Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on).
That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly.
Everything else is just gravy.
About the Plane Cube
Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane.
We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live.
As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well.
Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you.
About Plane Master Groups
BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc)
Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc.
So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open.
This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular.
Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums.
Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them.
Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to.
Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man.
Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers.
image
In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters.
It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays.
It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live.
In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc.
It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general.
Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible.
See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md.
"Landing" planes
Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly?
Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use.
This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex.
Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that.
Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit.
Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags.
This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday
I also need to update mob overlays on move.
I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order.
The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet.
It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point.
Behavior changes
We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it.
So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad.
Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior.
The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane.
I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease.
Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think.

Moves format_text() procs from wrapping c_tag values to wrapping area name in c_tag generation in both autoname cameras and newly built cameras.
format_text() proc as it was in #64429 wasn't picking up the usual \improper strings in the cameras' c_tag because apparently the values were showing up as either ?{16} area-name #x or mproper area-name #x. However, the \improper strings seem to corrupt only after the c_tag generation is complete. Moving the \improper strings cleanup to during the c_tag generation process eliminates the issue.
Both roundstart cameras and newly-built cameras now show up properly

About The Pull Request
Wall items mostly use the direction from the floor to the wall in the named mapping helper. Wall items mostly use the direction from the wall to the floor for the internal dir variable.
This leads to a headache when it comes to working out what conflicts with what, and what needs placing where.
Wall frames provided a member, inverse, which specified whether or not to invert the direction of the item when looking for conflicts. It was also used to specify whether to look for conflicts outside of the wall (cameras and lights appear external to the wall) or inside the wall (most wall items). This flag was set for Intercoms, APCs, and Lights. Since APCs and Lights expect a floor-to-wall direction, and Intercoms expect a wall-to-floor direction, this means that APCs and Lights were getting the correct direction, and Intercoms were getting the wrong direction.
Some implications of this setup were:
You could build an APC on top of another wall item, provided there was nothing external attached to the wall and the area didn't have an APC.
You could stack Intercoms indefinitely on top of the same wall, provided you weren't in a one-tile wide corridor with something on the opposite wall.
Or both! Here's twenty Intercoms placed on the wall, and a freshly placed APC frame after placing all Intercoms and deconstructing the old APC:
endless-stack-of-intercoms
Not everything used this inverse variable to adjust to the correct direction. For example, /obj/machinery/defibrillator_mount just used a negative pixel_offset to be visually placed in the correct direction, even though the internal direction was wrong, and never set! This also let you stack an indefinite number of defib mounts on the same wall, provided it wasn't a northern wall... except you could do this to northern walls too, since defibs weren't considered a wall item for the purposes of checking collisions at all!
Ultimately, every constructable interior wall item either used this inverse variable to adjust to the correct placement, set a negative pixel_offset variable to have its offset adjusted to the correct placement, or overrode New or Initialize to run its own checks and assignment to pixel_x and pixel_y!
Inventory: Table of various paths, related paths, and the adjustments they used
Unfortunately, untangling /obj/structure/sign is going to be another major headache, and this has already exploded in scope enough already, so we can't get rid of the get_turf_pixel call just yet. This also doesn't fix problems with the special 2x1 /obj/structure/sign/barsign.
Some non-wall items have been made to use the new MAPPING_DIRECTIONAL_HELPERS as part of the directional cleanup.
tl;dr: All wall mounted items and some directional objects now use the same direction that they were labelled as. More consistent directional types everywhere.

What does the PR do
This reworks how our rendering is handled, specifically moves away from plane masters as the end solution:
Instead we replace plane masters rendering directly to client with planes that render multiple planes onto them as objects in order to be able to affect multiple planes while treating them as a single object. This is done by relaying the plane using a "render relay" onto a "render plate" which acts as a plane master of plane masters of sorts, and since planes are rendered onto it as single objects any filters we apply to them will render over the planes, treating them as a single unit
image
Also cleaned up unused plane masters and render targets to reduce clutter, as well as removing a useless filter that was resulting from confusion due to said clutter.
Clientside performance testing showed no significant change, no effect on serverside performance as this is clientside.
Also added the blackness plane master so it can be relayed, side effect is that it can now be used to adjust how blackness is rendered
P2 should introduce rendering one plane to multiple render_plates, but i want to get this done before I finish that, though testing shows its feasible
Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
stop forgetting to include mapload, if you don't include it then every single subtype past it by default doesn't include it
for example, `obj/item` didn't include mapload so every single item by default didn't fill in mapload

`\/Initialize\((?!mapload)((.)*\w)?`
cleanup of things i didn't want to mapload:

So I started with fixing some timing stuff in #61540, decided to look into foam harddels since I've known about them for a while, got bored, tried to figure out the plane master failures I've seen, and well uh, did.
I'm sure there'll be more, but for now:
Fixes foam darts sticking around post qdel due to dumb guncode, adds a stack trace to handle it.
Makes map popups actually clear the screen they're effecting of their objects, preventing plane master harddels, most commonly sourced from admin pod memes. Not clearing from the screen WAS SOMEHOW AN INTENDED FEATURE!?!@ because "clients log out often anyway and that clears screen so it's fine" I am having a meltdown
Changes examine timers from a ref + signal to a ref(), the timer's 1 second, it's not gonna cause any collisions for the love of christ
Repaths everything referring to "toxins" while actually meaning either the room in science or plasma gas. While this PR might be disrespectful to our forefathers, given this is (I believe) a holdover from as far back as the Exadv1 days, this has constantly irked me since I started working with the code. None of the player-facing stuff has referred to plasma as toxin since before 4407 hit, besides the Toxins Lab, and yet all of the type-paths are still pointing at toxins, making it a nightmare to search for in a map editor, and making the code needlessly easy to confuse with that of toxin damage. So this just fires it into the sun.
Anything relating to Toxins, the science subdepartment, now makes reference to Ordnance instead. This felt fitting enough given the focus of the subdepartment is around the creation of and testing of explosives.
Anything relating to plasma gas has, fittingly, been made to refer to plasma gas.
Edit: Ah yes, I feel I should probably apologise off the bat for the size of this PR- the code touched is mostly atmos machinery and simplemobs, a few sprites here and there, and of course the station maps + a few offstation maps.
Makes the code more legible and makes mapping less painful.

This makes it so during unit tests, adding a text based overlay to something will runtime if the icon does not have an icon state matching that text. I would do this during normal compiles as well but getting the icon states from an icon is surprisingly expensive.
