## About The Pull Request
Closes#72141
Roundstart humans weren't in control of their mob by the time
`AssignQuirks` was called.
The call chain for roundstart goes `create_characters` ->
`equip_characters` -> `AssignQuirks` -> `transfer_characters`.
For latejoin, `create_character` -> `transfer_character` ->
`AssignQuirks`.
I could simply move around the call chain, but that feels much more
fragile and more liable to cause other issues to me. So instead, I
simply allowed add quirk to be passed a client, so that a client's
quirks can be applied to a mob they are not currently inhabiting.
In doing this, it became possible to show visual quirks on the prefs
dummy, like nearsighted glasses and heterochromia. So I put in a little
work to accomplish that as well.
Along side, some refactoring and documentation for quirk datums.
## Why It's Good For The Game
People get what they expect on roundstart.

* Adds a modular computer subsystem to shift modPCs away from radios (#71732)
## About The Pull Request
Adds the modular computer subsystem which is meant to replace mod PC's
reliance on networks and radios, specifically the network subsystem, the
ntnet interface, and /datum/ntnet. This PR removes station_root ntnets
entirely, but I tried to keep it small.
This PR also removes a ton of unused vars and defines, such as NTNet
channels that were unused (peer2peer and systemcontrol), atmos networks
(as they were removed a while ago) and NTNet var on relays (its stated
purpose is so admins can see it through varedits, but that's useless now
that it's a subsystem)
I also removed ``setting_disabled`` as a thing the RD can do, it turned
off ALL ntnet systems. However, this was when there were 4 different
ones, now that there's only 2 I thought it was redundant and he could
just click 2 buttons to close them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
``/datum/ntnet``, ``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, and
``/datum/controller/subsystem/networks`` are all old-code messes that
depend on eachother and is hard for people to understand what exactly it
adds to the game. 90% of its features is allowing the Wirecarp app to
see all the ruins that spawned in-game, which I don't think is something
that we even WANT (why does the RD need to know that oldstation spawned?
Why should they know this anyway??)
This hopefully starts to simplify networks/ntnet to make it easier to
remove in the future, because surely there are better alternatives than
**this**

* New Station Trait: Cybernetic Revolution + Body Purist Quirk
* Mirror!
* A hidden lint!
* Properly fixes this, and ensures that it has no impact on the game should it ever be bussed in for whatever reason

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new station trait, the Cybernetic Revolution
It causes every crewmember to spawn with a cybernetic implant/organ (it
depends on their job).
For example. the bartender has an upgraded cybernetic liver, security
officers have extendable flashes, prisoners have flash shielded eyes.
For AIs, they get the surveillance upgrade.
The trait also lowers research costs for the cybernetic designs, triples
the price of EMP kits and EMP flashlights, doubles price of EMP bombs,
and allows traitors to buy autosurgeons, so they can implant themselves
with whatever they ripped out of the crew.
If you do not wish to partake, you can also take the Body Purist quirk,
which prevents you from getting a cybernetic, but everytime you have a
mechanical limb/organ from some other source, you will take a severe
mood penalty.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This could be a cool modifier to rounds once in a while, slightly
modifying the gameplay of all the crew.
Also our implant system is very barely used, so why not?

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
Area contents isn't a real list, instead it involves filtering
everything in world
This is slow, and something we should have better support for.
So instead, lets manage a list of turfs inside our area. This is simple,
since we already move turfs by area contents anyway
This should speed up the uses I've found, and opens us up to using this
pattern more often, which should make dev work easier.
By nature this is a tad fragile, so I've added a unit test to double
check my work
Rather then instantly removing turfs from the contained_turfs list, we
enter them into a list of turfs to pull out, later.
Then we just use a getter for contained_turfs rather then a var read
This means we don't need to generate a lot of usage off removing turf by
turf from space, and can instead do it only when we need to
I've added a subsystem to manage this process as well, to ensure we
don't get any out of memory errors. It goes entry by entry, ensuring we
get no overtime.
This allows me to keep things like space clean, while keeping high
amounts of usage on a sepearate subsystem when convienient
As a part of this goal of keeping space's churn as low as possible, I've
setup code to ensure we do not add turfs to areas during a z level
increment adjacent mapload. this saves a LOT of time, but is a tad
messy
I've expanded where we use contained_turfs, including into some cases
that filter for objects in areas. need to see if this is sane or not.
Builds sortedAreas on demand, caching until we mark the cache as
violated
It's faster, and it also has the same behavior
I'm not posting speed changes cause frankly they're gonna be a bit
scattered and I'm scared to.
@Mothblocks if you'd like I can look into it. I think it'll pay for
itself just off `reg_in_areas_in_z` (I looked into it. it's really hard
to tell, sometimes it's a bit slower (0.7), sometimes it's 2 seconds
(0.5 if you use the old master figure) faster. life is pain.)

* Object Window Niceties (#69825)
* Object Window Niceties
Alright. I got bored and polished up the object/alt click window.
It had a few issues:
First, we generated all our images in bulk, as soon as requested
Second, the caching was global, despite only working on a client to
client basis
Third, we only generated up to 10 images. This could be fine, but the
javascript code will continuiously rerender assuming unrendered images
will come eventually, and they well, weren't. This caused MASSIVE
clientside lag
Fourth and finally, I did not like how moving away from the viewed turf
lagged behind, in sync with the stat tab update. Looked bad.
I've resolved all these.
I solved the first three issues by reworking how obj images were
generatated and managed.
Rather then storing a basic cache on the subsystem, and doing all the
image generation at once, we queue up image generation as we like, and
generate images inside a new processing subsystem fire.
This isn't the best solution, since it still eats cpu somewhat, but it's
a whole lot better then the other options, outside either removing the
need to getflat, or somehow predicting what items a client will want to
see
I've started storing three bits of info. First, a list of all the
objects we currently want to display.
Second, a list of atom -> image html
Third, a list of atoms to imageify.
This information is stored on a datum on /client, since I want this to
have a lifetime linked to well, clients.
I've used this datum to solve that fourth bit, using a component I made
for parallax a bit back. This lets me react to our client's mob, and
update the tab linked to that, rather then on a subsystem call by call
basis.
That's about it.

About The Pull Request
fixes#66887
done for the code bounty posted by @MMMiracles to optimize the tram so that it can be sped up. the tram is now twice as fast, firing every tick instead of every 2 ticks. and is now around 10x cheaper to move. also adds support for multiz trams, as in trams that span multiple z levels.
the tram on master takes around 10-15 milliseconds per movement with nothing on it other than its starting contents. why is this? because the tram is the canary in the coal mines when it comes to movement code, which is normally expensive as fuck. the tram does way more work than it needs to, and even finds new ways to slow the game down. I'll walk you through a few of the dumber things the tram currently does and how i fixed them.
the tram, at absolute minimum, has to move 55 separate industrial_lift platforms once per movement. this means that the tram has to unregister its entered/exited signals 55 times when "the tram" as a singular object is only entering 5 new turfs and exiting 5 old turfs every movement, this means that each of the 55 platforms calculates their own destination turfs and checks their contents every movement. The biggest single optimization in this pr was that I made the tram into a single 5x11 multitile object and made it only do entering/exiting checks on the 5 new and 5 old turfs in each movement.
way too many of the default tram contents are expensive to move for something that has to move a lot. fun fact, did you know that the walls on the tram have opacity? do you know what opacity does for movables? it makes them recalculate static lighting every time they move. did you know that the tram, this entire time, was taking JUST as much time spamming SSlighting updates as it was spending time in SStramprocess? well it is! now it doesnt do that, the walls are transparent. also, every window and every grille on the tram had the atmos_sensitive element applied to them which then added connect_loc to them, causing them to update signals every movement. that is also dumb and i got rid of that with snowflake overrides. Now we must take care to not add things that sneakily register to Moved() or the moved signal to the roundstart tram, because that is dumb, and the relative utility of simulating objects that should normally shatter due to heat and conduct heat from the atmosphere is far less than the cost of moving them, for this one object.
all tram contents physically Entered() and Exited() their destination and old turfs every movement, even though because they are on a tram they literally do not interact with the turf, the tram does. also, any objects that use connect_loc or connect_loc behalf that are on the same point on the tram also interact with each other because of this. now all contents of the tram act as if theyre being abstract_move()'d to their destination so that (almost) nothing thats in the destination turf or the exit turf can react to the event of "something laying on the tram is moving over you". the rare things that DO need to know what is physically entering or exiting their turf regardless of whether theyre interacting with the ground can register to the abstract entered and exited signals which are now always sent.
many of the things hooked into Moved(), whether it be overrides of Moved() itself, or handlers for the moved signal, add up to a LOT of processing time. especially for humans. now ive gotten rid of a lot of it, mostly for the tram but also for normal movement. i made footsteps (a significant portion of human movement cost) not do any work if the human themselves didnt do the movement. i optimized has_gravity() a fair amount, and then realized that since everything on the tram isnt changing momentum, i didnt actually need to check gravity for the purposes of drifting (newtonian_move() was taking a significant portion of the cost of movement at some points along the development process). so now it simply doesnt call newtonian_move() for movements that dont represent a change in momentum (by default all movements do).
also i put effort into 1. better organizing tram/lift code so that most of it is inside of a dedicated modules folder instead of scattered around 5 generic folders and 2. moved a lot of behavior from lift platforms themselves into their lift_master_datum since ideally the platforms would just handle moving themselves, while any behavior involving the entire lift such as "move to destination" and "blow up" would be handled by the lift_master_datum.

multiz tram (this just adds the capability to map it like this, no tram does this)
Actual Performance Differences
to benchmark this, i added a world.Profile(PROFILER_START) and world.Profile(PROFILER_START) to the tram moving, so that it generates a profiler output of all tram movement without any unrelated procs being recorded (except for world.Profile() overhead). this made it a lot easier to quantify what was slowing down both the tram and movement in general. and i did 3 types of tests on both master and my branch.
also i should note that i sped up the "master" tram test to move once per tick as well, simply because the normal movement speed seems unbearably slow now. so all recorded videos are done at twice the speed of the real tram on master. this doesnt affect the main thing i was trying to measure: cost for each movement.
the first test was the base tram, containing only my player mob and the movables starting on the tram roundstart. on master, this takes around 13 milliseconds or so on my computer (which is pretty close to what it takes on the servers), on this branch, it takes between 0.9-1.3 milliseconds.
ALSO in these benchmarks youll see that tram/proc/travel() will vary significantly between the master and optimized branches. this is 100% because there are 55 times more platforms moving on master compared to the master branch, and thus 55x more calls to this proc. every test was recorded with the exact same amount of distance moved
here are the master and optimized benchmark text files:

also this shows the increased SSlighting usage resulting from the tram on master spamming updates, which doesnt happen on the optimized branch

the second test is meant to benchmark the best case scaling cost of moving objects, where nothing extra is registered to movement besides the bare minimum stuff on the /atom/movable level. Each of the open tiles of the tram had 1 bluespace rped filled with parts dumped onto it, to the point that the tram in total was moving 2100 objects. the vast majority of these objects did nothing special in movement so they serve as a good base case. only slightly off due to the rped's registering to movement.
on master, this test takes over 100 milliseconds per movement

optimization 2000 obj's.txt
the third test is 300 humans spawned onto the tram, meant to test all the shit added on to movement cost for humans/carbons. in retrospect this test is actually way too biased in favor of my optimizations since the humans are all in only 3 tiles, so all 100 humans on a tile are reacting to the other 99 humans movements, which wouldnt be as bad if they were distributed across 20 tiles like in the second test. so dont read into this one too hard.
on master, this test takes 200 milliseconds

when optimized, this takes about 13-14 milliseconds.

Why It's Good For The Game
the tram is literally 10x cheaper to move. and the code is better organized.
currently on master the tram is as fast as running speed, meaning it has no real relative utility compared to just running the tracks (except for the added safety of not having to risk being ran over by the tram). now the tram of which we have an entire map based around can be used to its full potential.
also, has some fixes to things on the tram reacting to movement. for example on master if you are standing on a tram tile that contains a banana and the TRAM moves, you will slip if the banana was in that spot before you (not if you were there first however). this is because the banana has no concept of relative movement, you and it are in the same reference frame but the banana, which failed highschool physics, believes you to have moved onto it and thus subjected you to the humiliation of an unjust slipping. now since tram contents that dont register to abstract entered/exited cannot know about other tram contents on the same tile during a movement, this cannot happen.
also, you no longer make footstep sounds when the tram moves you over a floor
TODO
mainly opened it now so i can create a stopping point and attend to my other now staling prs, we're at a state of functionality far enough to start testmerging it anyways.
add a better way for admins to be notified of the tram overloading the server if someone purposefully stuffs it with as much shit as they can, and for admins to clear said shit.
automatically slow down the tram if SStramprocess takes over like, 10 milliseconds complete. the tram still cant really check tick and yield without introducing logic holes, so making sure it doesnt take half of the tick every tick is important
go over my code to catch dumb shit i forgot about, there always is for these kinds of refactors because im very messy
remove the area based forced_gravity optimization its not worth figuring out why it doesnt work
fix the inevitable merge conflict with master lol
create an icon for the tram_tunnel area type i made so that objects on the tram dont have to enter and exit areas twice in a cross-station traversal
add an easy way to vv tram lethality for mobs/things being hit by it. its an easy target in another thing i already wanted to do: a reinforced concept of shared variables from any particular tram platform and the entire tram itself. admins should be able to slow down the tram by vv'ing one platform and have it apply to the entire tram for example.
Changelog
cl
balance: the tram is now twice as fast, pray it doesnt get any faster (it cant without raising world fps)
performance: the tram is now about 10 times cheaper to move for the server
add: mappers can now create trams with multiple z levels
code: industrial_lift's now have more of their behavior pertaining to "the entire lift" being handled by their lift_master_datum as opposed to belonging to a random platform on the lift.

This PR rewrites almost all messages related to cascade events. Some messages felt kinda clunky to read or could have been written better. Overall, the new messages add to the experience as a cascade being a terrifying event in a way that I felt the old ones missed, and they make the event feel overall a lot sharper.
While looking at the resonance cascade code, I noticed that there a lot of stuff about cascades in the air which was not touched on. So, as I do, this PR evolved into a polish and roundup PR for cascades. There was a lot of stuff still hanging out relating to the event, and although the big backend of it sits, there was still a bit left to be completed. Therefore this PR deserves more the title of the "Resonance cascade POLISHENING" instead of the "REFLAVAHRING". But yeah, you ever go on a massive tangent before?
* improves SM cascade performances and fixes announcement text (#67240)
Changes the cascade walls from turfs to objects to improve the performances of the roundending cascade.
The issue was that ChangeTurf() was a pretty expensive proc to be called that many times so i moved the cascade wall into an object. It doesn't delete anything other than living mobs and the portal to prevent edge case runtimes.

Changes the cascade walls from turfs to objects to improve the performances of the roundending cascade.
The issue was that ChangeTurf() was a pretty expensive proc to be called that many times so i moved the cascade wall into an object. It doesn't delete anything other than living mobs and the portal to prevent edge case runtimes.

* improve speed of cascade walls, better description for them + CL for cascade antag (#66800)
Cascade walls were processing on object subsystem, they are now in their own subsystem that ticks once per second and should be more reliable even in case of high td
better description for the walls to be more interesting

Have you ever noticed that the chemical smoke and chemical foam reactions are a lot less effective in confined spaces? This is because they currently attempt to spread to all tiles within n steps of their origin. If they can't expand onto a tile they get blocked and the expanding cloud/flood misses out on all the tiles that would be in range, but that can't be reached.
Obviously smoke and foam getting blocked by walls and the like makes intuitive sense, but it seemed a bit nonsensical that walls would basically delete a significant chunk of an expanding, amoebic mass. The solution I came up with is making smoke and foam expand until they cover a certain area, with a shared tracker for the target size and total size of the flood. The flood will simply expand as normal until it covers the desired target area. Blocked expansions just don't count and will be made up for with expansion elsewhere.
Attendant to these changes are a whole bunch of minor code improvement to smoke, foam, and one for wizard spells because I was already in the area and :pain:.
There have been some minor balance changes to the chemical smoke and foam reactions:
I converted them over to passing the desired area of the resulting smoke cloud/foam flood. The old equation for the resulting area was along the lines of 2sqrt(x)(sqrt(x) + 1) + 1 given reaction volume x and given unobstructed expansion. I've made them just pass around 2x instead. This is actually less than they used to try for, but now they're guaranteed to reach that unless the flood is fully contained. Not entirely certain if buff or nerf. Probably buff on the station.
Also, foam dilution is now based on covered area instead of target expansion range. Since this scales faster than it used to foam has been effectively nerfed at high volumes. To compensate for this I removed the jank 6/7 effect multiplier and increased the base reagent scaling a bit. Again, not certain if buff or nerf.

* No guns is a stupid trait with an obnoxious amount of overlap
Adds the navigate verb, it makes a holographic path to any navigation beacon on station
