## About The Pull Request
This adds Paradox Clones, Fugitives, and Bounty Hunters to their own
orbit category.
Paradox Clones use the hostile red color for the dropdown menu, while
Fugitives use orange and Hunters use yellow.
Here's how it looks:

This also fixes the wizard minion antag datum's antagpanel_category
being text, rather than the proper define.

## About The Pull Request
Short and simple, just converts the changeling's headslug (that ability
they get that lets them infest another body) into a basic mob. Also
touches up some of the code, as well as split up the code such that the
headslug resides in the basic mobs folder, while the eggs are in the
changeling's antagonist folder, rather than one megafile for both.
No AI because this is 100% a player-controlled mob, it never exists in
any other context. No UpdatePaths for the same reason as well, this
shouldn't (and really doesn't) exist on maps because its sole purpose is
player-driven.
<!-- Describe The Pull Request. Please be sure every change is
documented or this can delay review and even discourage maintainers from
merging your PR! -->
## Why It's Good For The Game
Knocks another one off the list, potentially clears up some janky code
with how this operated and just beautifies it overall. I also
standardized the name "headslug" in any applicable context because the
name "headcrab" is quite confusing. Some other code still refers to it
as headcrab/crab, but that's whatever, at least the paths are a-okay
now.
Also opens the door in case someone really wants these to be AI-powered?
That sounds really weird and I don't really support that idea, but it's
indeed possible.

Grow and regrow, the life cycle.

Abductors are a bit fucked if they lose their baton and are unable to
buy one from their shop. Sure they can just use flashes or maint-fu but
those methods are hard and or unreliable. (if they manage to lose their
baton, they probably aren't that robust anyways). This PR gives more

## About The Pull Request
This PR is a re-pr of ##70522 , with some tweaks:
Notably:
- Wavespeak is not a say override, but instead uses a mindlink. Meaning
carp and space dragons can still talk verbally, but they can also use
telepathy to talk to all carp and the dragon.
- I would refactor Mind Linker a bit further to be a full datum rather
than a component but that's for another time.
- Removed the gravity aura component in favor of using the existing
forced gravity proximity monitor.
- Also fixed a bug involving that. Lol.
- Minor refactoring around the place.
- Reduced the volume on a lot of space dragon sounds.
- Edited the roundend report for Space Dragons to collate all entries
into one per player.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Space dragon still plays pretty "play lame win game" right now, the
optimal strategy for them is to find the cheesiest spot for a portal and
spam their stun / fire breath to make it unreachable.
I was a fan of the original PR so I updated it and brought it back.
## Changelog
🆑 IndieanaJones, Melbert
balance: Space Dragon can no longer choose its rift locations freely,
and instead is given 5 pre-determined locations to pick from instead
balance: Space Dragon itself has been buffed in order to support a more
confrontational playstyle, however its wing gust now requires a line of
sight to targets in order to affect them.
balance: Player Space Carp from rifts now have buffed health, but
reduced object damage values. They also gain a temporary speed boost
when hit by Space Dragon's fire breath instead of taking damage.
balance: Carp rift spawn times have been reduced, the healing AOE is now
a 3x3 instead of a 1x1, and apply normal gravity in a large radius
around them
balance: Space Dragon and rift carps now communicate on a private mind
link channel via action button similar to Raw Prophets and Slimepeople.
fix: Fixed Gravity Generator forced gravity not applying.
fix: Intern Announcer will no longer replace Space Dragon announcements.
qol: The roundend report for space dragons now collates all players who
played a carp into one entry, rather than one per carp spawned.
qol: Space Dragon sounds are much less ear piercingly loud.

## About The Pull Request
Tower of Babel (Curator), Naive (Clown), and Storm detector (Shaft

jobs.
However, we have been checking the body for these traits, not the mind.
This meant that Shaft miners werent alerted of ice storms, Clowns didnt
have their unique examine text, and Curators were affected by Tower of
Babel.
This fixes all those issues.
Naive and Tower of Babel realistically should only be on the mind, so I
changed all instances to check the mind. Storm detection is something
you can get through analyzers, so I left it as a check for both your
body and mind traits.

Dragon is supposed to be a round ending threat if left unchecked. But at
the moment there's a number of ways you can cheese it completely if you
get within spitting distance of the portal. This pretty much prevents
dragon from getting blue balled because one guy in an EVA suit rushed
their portal before they could intercept without making hulk worthless

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new quirk called Chronic Illness. It provides a -12 score as it's
a pretty life-altering quirk, but could give way to interesting RP.
- Hereditary Manifold Sickness (HMS) can not be cured, it can only be
delayed and treated using a new unmakable vaccine called
"Sansufentanyl". You spawn with 6 pills and are able to order crates
containing 12 more from cargo as it's proprietary to Interdyne.
- HMS has 5 stages total.
Stage 1 does nothing
Stage 2 gives minor effects
Stage 3 becomes debilitating
Stage 4 is a danger zone.
Upon reaching Stage 5, there are 4 possibilities, 1 is a recovery back
to stage 1, and the other 3 are deaths which I won't explain here to
avoid ruining it. (read the code I guess.)
This also adds a new traitor objective to infect someone with HMS.
- [x] Correcting the chronic aspect.
- [x] Add traitor objective.
- [x] Tweaking for fairness.
## Why It's Good For The Game
HMS is a new quirk that gives a much more hardcore junky or tumor
playstyle. Neglecting HMS can mean the end of your shift. it's not
something you want to mess with.
It puts a reliance on cargo rather than medical for a quirk and gives a
use case for money. (price may be tweaked still). I think it'd be
interesting to see if people will start mugging or robbing the vault
more to get their life-saving medication.

## About The Pull Request
This PR changes how ashwalkers are listed in the roundend report.
Originally, they would be listed as individual "other" antagonists,
which isn't a particularly great way of handling it and leads to
weirdness like this:

_(That's an authentic ninja greentext from a live server, by the by)_
Now, the roundend report gives each ashwalker team their own section
within the report, whether or not they succeeded, and some bonus stats.

This new roundend report handling also supports having multiple
Necropolises (Necropoli?) in the same round. Each tribe has their stats
and success reported individually.
This also slightly modifies the protect_object objective, preventing
hard deletes when linked to objects that don't clear their own
references.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives Ashwalkers a much better roundend report, and handles how the
reporting is done in a much more sensible manner.
Reduces how much space that large nests take up with their individual
listings.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#75451
Originally I just whitelisted them because they're structures that are
supported by their surroundings... but there's still the theoretical
scenario where it has expanded over a reasonably large chasm and then
becomes almost impossible to remove because you can't easily get at the
ones in the middle, and it would be "levitating" after you cut off
everything around the edge.
So instead this adds a trait which restores the original behaviour of
chasms where they delete stuff which falls into them and applies it to
Blobs and Kudzu.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a very niche scenario but "expanding structure falls into abstract
chasm storage" causes issues where it potentially keeps processing in
there and there isn't much you can do about it.
Maybe there's other stuff that commonly falls into chasms we'll decide
that we want to delete instead of keeping in pools now that you can just
slap a trait onto something to do it, future consideration.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Blob and Kudzu tiles which expand into chasms will now be correctly
destroyed by the chasm.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the Syndicate Induction Kit for Nuclear Operatives.
The kit contains the following
- One Ansem pistol
- One each of 10mm AP/HP magazines
- An energy dagger
- A syndicate bowman headset
- A nuclear PDA and agent card
- A syndicate fabric space suit and helmet, alongside a jet harness
- Combat boots, turtleneck, fingerless gloves
- The Fission Mailed book
- And the most important part, the induction implant.
The induction implant will make anyone who is implanted by it a
Syndicate Operative. This will give them the syndie faction and the nuke
op datum, alongside the usual weird name nukeops get.
The implant will NOT work on anyone who is not an antagonist in some way
or form. Normal crew members do not gain benefits from implanting, and
in fact the implant disintegrating inside gives them toxin.
It costs a total of 10 TC, for what is more or less 25 TC of gear. The
value is totally up to change, it's probably way too low.
Uplink spacesuits are randomized between all their different colored
variants! Visual only.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's cool and rewards teamwork. Traitors can team up with nukies, and if
they choose to do so they gain some basic gear (a free gun, a space
suit, the dagger) that isn't really even close to the degree of gear
real ops get. As a downside, their name becomes an extremely obvious
nuclear operative name, meaning if they want to be stealthy they either
have to never talk or purchase a voice changer.
Being able to just obtain a whole new member of the team for so little
likely seems bonkers, but my intention is to just encourage something
that's neat and interesting ingame without hopefully being *too*
impactful and strong.
Imagine stumbling upon a heretic and inducting them into the team. Or a
changeling, or a wizard? Running around hypnoflashing people to be nuke
ops and then giving them the kit?? There's a lot of fun moments that
could arise from this, but they're balanced by the fact that, well,
nobody ever saves TC for the station.
Something I can see becoming a problem is EVERY traitor buying syndicate
encryption keys to beg for an induction kit every time war is declared.
I'm not sure if this is going to be a huge issue, but I think I'd rather
just get this ingame and see if that does turn out to be a problem. If
it does, we can just make it so that traitors can't be inducted, as the
syndicate has already hired them for something else and doesn't want to
flare inter-faction tensions.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds the Syndicate Induction Kit for Nuclear Operatives, which lets
them induct any willing antagonist into the nuclear operative team for
10 TC.

## About The Pull Request
I accidentally discovered that when #55504 removed cargo export
categories being a thing during export value evaluation, in two
instances, they forgot to remove passing over the now defunct export
categories, causing it to be passed in as the elasticity value, and by
sheer coincidence, this was not causing problems (due to being overriden
by a named argument in the pirates case, and cargo_exports being
evaluated as true in another).
This PR fixes the arguments, preventing possible bugs in the future.
This also removes the code that set if the cargo shuttle could sell
contraband and emagged items, as that is no longer a thing. I talked
with @ArcaneMusic about this, and they agreed, albeit with the caveat
that if someone finds a good use case for this feature, it could be
saved.
This PR also autodocs several export related files, and cleans up
various single and two letter vars.

## About The Pull Request
Now whenever an attack is blocked, the sound will play and deflection
with the item now plays sound too:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/1a0cc5b7-f2af-4d72-88d7-57cc11f5baa3
The parry.ogg was updated to a better-sounding one
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/5ffc53d8-0b3c-4e6b-9256-b7b9735918bc
Every item now has a "block_sound" that can be set, it determines what
sound is played when you block an attack with it.
Cult items no longer have their own way of fuckery to play parry sounds,
now they use this system as well.
Now shield bash sound is 80% smaller after cutting out all of its noise
and silence.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds feedback on whether the attack was blocked or not, signalling both
to the attacker and defender that it didn't go through even if the
animation played, which is a great QoL. Same with the deflection sound
(although deflection is still pretty visible, the sound would not hurt)
New sounds add more flavour to the weapons, especially the energy sword,
giving it even more badassery.
Cutting down the noise from the shield bash sound has made it better to
listen and saved some kilobytes of information. And making every item
use the universal system for blocking sounds, removing cultist items'
own code for playing parrying sounds.

Safeguards against #74965 happening in the future.
Noticed a bunch of these were using ITEM_SLOT_HANDS. This is incorrect,
as the element already automatically updates held items. grep'd it to
catch future instances.
Likewise, a number of objects weren't passing slot_flags to the element,
meaning it wasn't actually updating those things properly when they were
being worn. I've simplified this so now the element will automatically
update all slot_flags, and passing an additional slot to the element
when being added is only needed for additional slots that might need to
be updated. This also means if slot_flags change, the element will now
update correctly as well.
🆑 ShizCalev
code: The update_icon_updates_onmob element will now automatically
update all slots in an item's slot_flags var. This does fix multiple
things that weren't updating properly. Passing a slot to the element is
now only necessary if you want to add additional slots to be updated.

This PR implements this design document:
https://hackmd.io/@Y6uzGFDGSXKRaWDNicSiEg/BkRr176st
Put briefly, this will remove every existing golem subtype and
consolidate golems into a single species with cool new sprites.
NOT implemented from that PR is the ability to eat Telecrystals, I
couldn't come up with an appropriate visual that can stack with the
existing ones, but that should be a reasonably trivial add for a future
artist & developer.
New Golems have a food-based mechanic where their hunger decays pretty
quickly and can only be replenished by eating minerals. They start
moving slower as they get hungrier, until eventually they become
completely immobilised and need to be rescued.
Eating different kinds of minerals will visually change your sprite and
give you a special effect in a similar way to old golems, but temporary.
While transformed, you can't eat any other kind of mineral which would
transform you (but can still consume glass).
To see the full list of effects, look at the hackmd above.
In service of these sprites working I have refactored the
`species/offset_features` feature by killing it and delegating that
responsibility to limbs instead. Rather than applying an offset to items
due to your species, it is due to your weird head or arms. This makes
overall more sense to me, but it inflates the code changes in this PR
somewhat.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to atomise unfortunately because that
code also seemed to be entirely unused until I tried to use it in this
PR, so you wouldn't be able to tell if my changes broke anything. I
might make a downstream sad by doing this.
All of the actual numbers in this PR are made up and only loosely
tested, it will need some testmerges to gather feedback about whether it
sucks or not.
Other relevant changes:
I reworked how bioscrambling works based off bodypart bodytypes, to
automatically exclude golem limbs in either direction. There's really no
way to have those work on humans or vice versa. Organs still fly though.

Adds a Coroner job to the game, they work in the Medical department and
have their office in the Morgue.
I was inspired to make this after I had played my first round on
Paradise and messed around in there. The analyzer is copied from there
(https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20957), and their
jumpsuit is also mostly stolen from it (i just copied the color scheme
onto our own suits).
Coroners can perform autopsies on people to see their stats, like this

They have access to Medbay, and on lowpop will get Pharmacy (to make
their own formaldehyde). They also have their own Secure Morgue access
for their office (doubles as a surgery room because they are edgelords
or whatever) and the secure morgue trays.
Secure Morgue trays spawn with their beepers off and is only accessible
by them, the CMO, and HoS. It's used to morgue Antagonists. Security's
own morgue trays have been removed.
The job in action

### Surgery changes
Autopsies are a Surgery, and I tried to intertwine this with the
Dissection surgery.
Dissections and Autopsies both require the Autopsy scanner to perform
them, however you can only perform one on any given body. Dissections
are for experiments, Autopsies is for the paper of information.
Dissected bodies now also give a ~20% surgery speed boost, this was
added at the request of Fikou as a way to encourage Doctors to let the
Coroner do their job before reviving a body.
I also remember the Medical skill, which allowed Doctors to do surgery
faster on people, and I hope that this can do something like that
WITHOUT adding the potential for exploiting, which led to the skill's
downfall.
### Morgue Improvements
Morgue trays are no longer named with pens, they instead will steal the
name of the last bodybag to be put in them.
Morgue trays are also removed from Brig Medical areas and Robotics, now
they have to bring their corpses to the Morgue where the Coroner can
keep track and ensure records are properly updated.

This is mostly explained in the hackmd, but the goal of this is:
1. Increase the use of the Medical Records console.
2. Add a new and interesting way for Detectives to uncover mysteries.
3. Add a more RP-flavored role in Medical that still has mechanics tied
behind it.
## Changelog
🆑 JohnFulpWillard, sprites by McRamon, tattax, and Lamb
add: The Coroner, a new Medical role revolving around dead corpses and
autopsies.
add: The Coroner's Autopsy Scanner, used for discovering the cause for
someone's death, listing their wounds, the causes of them, their
reagents, and diseases (including stealth ones!)
qol: Morgue Trays are now named after the bodybags inside of them.
balance: The morgue now has 'Secure' morgue trays which by default don't
beep.
balance: Security Medical area and Robotics no longer have their own
morgue trays.
balance: Dissected bodies now have faster surgery speed. Autopsies also
count as dissections, however they're mutually exclusive.

## About The Pull Request
Adds announce_to_ghosts()/notify_ghosts() calls to a bunch of different
things.
**THIS INCLUDES:**
- Powersink being activated/reaching critical (explosion) heat capacity.
- His Grace being awoken.
- Hot Potatoes being armed.
- Ascension Rituals being completed.
- Eyesnatcher victims.
- Ovens exploding as a result of the Aurora Caelus event.
- Wizard Imposter spawns.
- Rock-Paper-Scissors with death as the result of Helbital consumption.
- BSA impact sites.
- Spontaneous Appendicitis.
- The purchasing of a badass syndie balloon.
- The Supermatter beginning to delaminate.
This was everything that I could think of that would be worth announcing
to deadchat. These were all chosen with consideration to questions like
"how easy would it be to spam deadchat with this?" and "will observers
actually see the interesting thing happen, or just the aftermath?".
Not gonna lie, I've really become an observer main as of recently. Maybe
that's being reflected in my recent PRs. Who's to say? Deadchat
Announcement Variety Pack 2 will probably never come out. Sorry.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives deadchat a better indiciation of when/where something **REALLY
FUNNY** is about to happen. Draws attention to certain things that are
likely to gather an audience anyways, but sooner (for your viewing
pleasure). In simple terms, it helps the observers observe things
better.
Some cases, such as the aurora caelus or helbitaljanken, are occurrences
so rare that they deserve the audience.
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
qol: Observers now recieve an alert when a powersink is activated/about
to explode.
qol: His Grace being awoken now alerts observers, to give you a
headstart on your murderbone ghost ring.
qol: Ascension Rituals being completed will also alert observers, for
basically the same reason.
qol: Arming a hot potato will now alert observers. Catch!
qol: Eyesnatcher victims will now notify observers, and invite them to
laugh at their state of misery and impotence.
qol: Observers will be notified of any acute references to The Simpsons
or other 20th Television America copyright properties.
qol: Wizard Imposter spawns alert observers, much like any other ghost
role event should.
qol: Playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with death will now alert the observers
and invite them to watch. Better not choke!
qol: Observers now get an orbit link for BSA impact sites. Why does it
keep teleporting me to the AI upload??
qol: Spontaneous Appendicitis now alerts deadchat.
qol: The purchasing of a badass syndie balloon now alerts deadchat. You
might not be any more powerful, but at least you have an audience.
qol: When beginning to delaminate, the Supermatter will alert observers
and invite them to watch the fireworks.

This PR demotes the Psyker-gang from a pirate team to a fugitive hunting
team. For more information on Psyker pirates, please refer to #71650.
Stuff this also does in the process:
- Gives fugitive hunters their own subfolder in the fugitives antagonist
folder, moves some of their stuff into hunter-specific files rather than
interlacing it with the rest of the fugitive code.
- Moves the hunter backstories to defines, to make reading things easier
while I made this change.
- Exhaustively moves everything related to psykers from being
pirate-oriented to hunter-oriented (typepaths, locations where stuff is
defined, etc. There should be nothing left behind related to psykers in
anything pirate related). (Tell me if I missed anything somehow).
They still get their ship (they even get their own custom
psyker-friendly prisoner capsule). They still have a bunch of lethally
chambered firearms. They're the same gunrunning nutcases they were
before, just as bounty hunters.
To assist with basic tasks such as "getting to the station" or "figuring
out who the fuck we're supposed to be kidnapping", the psykers have
"acquired" a Seer to assist them. They can _try_ to coordinate the
psykers and lead them through situations where their impairments put
them at too great a disadvantage. If you're one of the psykers, make
sure to keep this guy alive at all costs!
Why are they called Shikaris instead of hunters? Mariam-Webster says
it's a Hindi word for some kind of hunter/tracker, and it sounded like
something a bunch of space-junkies would call themselves because they
think it sounds cool.
They now also come with a slightly different motivation, now that they
can't directly threaten the crew for money. Psyker hunters now arrive
tasked with a dirty kidnapping job, payment rendered in GORE.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Psykers aren't up to the challenge of being pirates. They're bogged down
by a number of fundamental issues that render them unable to do anything
expected of pirates. As it currently stands, they present about as much
threat as you would expect from three blind junkies with guns.
Removing them wholesale would be kind of lame. They can function as a
bunch of chaotic-neutral gun-toting space-maniacs, but for the purposes
of gameplay, keeping them as pirates would be a waste of their talents.
Moving them to a lower-stakes role not only moves them to a niche they
are more capable of filling, but gives players a more lax environment to
get a grip on playing psyker without being overwhelmed.
Giving them a seeing-eye role should bring a more unique dynamic to how
psykers are played (that is, some semblance of organization rather than
blind flailing), and should help get over the mechanical hurdles of
being a psyker until better solutions can be made. It shouldn't be too
big of an impact on balance considering the psyker gang only has three
spawns, while most hunter packs have 4+.
basically ex_act's implementation on basic mobs would call parent and
then react to it's value, this is presumably to do the first check about
space vine mutations and whatever. the problem is that the `/mob/living`
implementation would itself also call parent, and that would always
return null because `/atom/proc/ex_act` doesn't have a set return value.
So, this simply would _always_ early return, with ex_act presumably
*never* working on basic mobs for at least four months now.
I decided to then change up the return values for pretty much all
implementations of `ex_act()` since there was no rhyme or reason to
returning null/FALSE/TRUE, and documenting why it's like that.
Just to make sure I wasn't breaking anything doing this (at least on
base implementations), I wrote a unit test for all of the three major
physical types in game (objs, mobs, turfs) because i am a paranoid
fuckar. we should be good to go now though.
## Why It's Good For The Game
i noticed this because placing c4's on sargeant araneus wouldn't
actually damage it whatsoever. now it actually does the stated 30
damage, but araneus has like 250 health so it doesn't actually matter in
the long run. whatever at least it does the damn 30 now.
also adds a unit test for this specific case as well as a range of other
cases to ensure this stuff doesn't silently break in this way anymore
Ladies, Gentlemen, Gamers. You're probably wondering why I've called you
all here (through the automatic reviewer request system). So, mineral
balance! Mineral balance is less a balance and more of a nervous white
dude juggling spinning plates on a high-wire on his first day. The fact
it hasn't failed after going on this long is a miracle in and of itself.
This PR does not change mineral balance. What this does is moves over
every individual cost, both in crafting recipes attached to an object
over to a define based system. We have 3 defines:
`sheet_material_amount=2000` . Stock standard mineral sheet. This being
our central mineral unit, this is used for all costs 2000+.
`half_sheet_material_amount=1000` . Same as above, but using iron rods
as our inbetween for costs of 1000-1999.
`small_material_amount=100` . This hits 1-999. This covers... a
startlingly large amount of the codebase. It's feast or famine out here
in terms of mineral costs as a result, items are either sheets upon
sheets, or some fraction of small mats.
Shout out to riot darts for being the worst material cost in the game. I
will not elaborate.
Regardless, this has no functional change, but it sets the groundwork
for making future changes to material costs much, MUCH easier, and moves
over to a single, standardized set of units to help enforce coding
standards on new items, and will bring up lots of uncomfortable balance
questions down the line.
For now though, this serves as some rough boundaries on how items costs
are related, and will make adjusting these values easier going forward.
Except for foam darts.
I did round up foam darts.
Adjusting mineral balance on the macro scale will be as simple as
changing the aforementioned mineral defines, where the alternative is a
rats nest of magic number defines. ~~No seriously, 11.25 iron for a foam
dart are you kidding me what is the POINT WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT 11~~
Items individual numbers have not been adjusted yet, but we can
standardize how the conversation can be held and actually GET SOMEWHERE
on material balance as opposed to throwing our hands up or ignoring it
for another 10 years.
## About The Pull Request
This PR messes around with gunpoints a bit, with the purpose of making
them more viable in certain scenarios without making them obnoxious. The
biggest change is that gunpoints now require a 0.5 second do_after()
where neither the shooter nor the target moves, and immobilizes both of
them for 0.75 seconds if point blank, or half that if you're 2 tiles
away. Originally you were supposed to only be able to initiate a
gunpoint from point-blank, but #56601 seems to have removed that
requirement, so we'll run with it and just leave it as advantageous to
gunpoint closer up. The do_after() reinforces that it should be used as
an ambush tactic, and so you can't use it on someone who's actively
fleeing or fighting you.
Getting held up will now make you emit a shocked gasp sound, a la Metal
Gear Solid, which combined with the short immobilize will hopefully make
it more noticeable that someone's pointing a gun at you.
Holdups will now immediately give a 25% bonus to damage and wounds,
instead of having to wait 2.5 seconds to hit the double damage stage.
Finally, right clicking someone that you're holding up will no longer
shoot them. That just feels like good consistency.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Hopefully makes gunpoints a little more viable for when you want to
stick someone who's not expecting it up without them immediately jetting
off. In the future I'd like to ape Baycode and let the gunman have an
action that toggles whether the victim is allowed to move, so you can
order them to move to a second location without instantly shooting them,
but that'll come later.
## Changelog
🆑 Ryll/Shaps
balance: Holding someone at gunpoint now requires both the shooter and
the victim to hold still for half a second before activating, so you
can't hold-up people fleeing or fighting you. After that, it will
briefly immobilize the both of you, 0.75 seconds if adjacent, or half
that if you're two tiles away. Nuke ops are immune to the
immobilization, since they're ready to die anyways.
balance: Holding someone up will immediately apply a 1.25x damage and
wound multiplier, rather than waiting 2.5 seconds to hit 2x.
soundadd: Being held up will now make the victim play a sharp gasp
sound, a la Metal Gear Solid.
qol: Trying to hold someone up that you're already holding up will no
longer shoot them.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there. People were mocking us for having spiderlings still be a
subtype of `/obj/structure`. I decided to take a lot of time to fix
that. A lot of behavior it was implementing was just pseudo-mob stuff,
so it was actually easier than it looked for the raw conversion. A lot
of the footwork on spider stuff in the basic framework was already done
previously by Jacquerel, so that was pretty nice.
However, there are two new things that weren't introduced in the code
that had to be put in.
A) A component to handle growth and differentiation into a mob. This may
have already existed, no clue. If it does (and it's NOT
evolutionary_leap), let me know.
B) AI Behavior to handle seeking out a vent, entering a vent, and then
exiting out of a different vent. I may have gone a bit wacky on the
code, but it certainly works as expected (spiderling goes in one vent,
exits the other). Let me know if you can think of a way it can be better
optimized, but it was deliberately written to be very failsafey in case
shit goes yonkers.
One fundamental difference between structure spiderlings and basic mob
spiderlings (beyond the AI and not just a random prob() check for
movement) is the fact that they had vent movement coded in... but we
_really_ don't need stuff like that for our intents and purposes. If the
range turns out to be too OP in the current framework, we can always
change it up a bit, but also there's a _lot_ of vents we can end up in
the station (my testing had one spiderling end up in the AI sat to get
obliterated).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Spiderlings aren't structures! They behave like a mob should! Players
can possess spiderlings! They work seamlessly with differentiating into
a giant spider! Better AI! More room for people to add into this very
under-utilized buggers!
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Spiderlings are now basic mobs, report any complete
weirdness/deviation from known behavior. They should be a lot more
intelligent now though.
add: AI Spiderlings are super fragile, but they're also super fast,
especially when they get into a vent. Once they're in circulation, they
could end up everywhere! Maybe in the armory, maybe in a locked closet
in maintenance. Be sure to be vigilant and splat them whenever you can
to save the station from a whole lotta heartache!

## About The Pull Request
A re-open of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/66326 with
Fikou's permission
Adds the style meter, it can be bought from the mining vendor for 1500
points, it is an attachment to your glasses.
The style meter creates a display on your hud, with your recent actions,
like attacking enemies, killing them, mining ore etc. Actions like
spinning or flipping increase your score multiplier, making you get more
points.
Your style meter affects how much ore you get from mining rocks. By
default with the meter, you get 20% less ore, but at the highest, you
can get 1.2x the ore from mining. In addition, on B-tier or above, you
can "hotswap" items, by attacking an item in your backpack with one in
your hand (should it fit and all that). Also features a leaderboard for
highest style point count!
New streamable: https://streamable.com/eewi6l
The following are sources of points:
- Killing things
- Killing big things
- Killing small things
- Punching things
- Melee'ing things
- Mining rocks and ores
- Having matrix traps detonate
- Hit, defuse, and detonate gibtonite
- Detonate crusher marks
- Scan geysers
- Parry projectiles (others or your own)
Oh, right. While wearing the style meter, you're able to parry any
lavaland-based projectile by clicking on it or the tile it is on, which
reflects it back in a 7 degree arc, making it 20% faster and 15% more
damaging. Usually not very easy.
Maybe-plan in the future for some syndicate variant of this (with bullet
parrying and appropriate style sources, etc.), but not for this PR
Thanks to Arcane, multitooling the style meter will make it play some
sounds on rank-up.

## About The Pull Request
Most calls of runEvent() now provide a cause that is read out to
deadchat. announce_deadchat() has been slightly adjusted to accommodate
this.
Previously, everything that wasn't a truly random event would broadcast
with the same generic "XYZ has just been triggered!" message. Now, you
get a little bit more detail as to why/what triggered the event.
Some helpers in the __HELPERS/events.dm file have been made, for forcing
events normally/async/after a delay (using an addtimer). This also moves
a lot (but not all) instances of events being forced to these helpers.
Some samples:

Traitors using uplink viruses to turn off the power/comms.

Beer nuke!

For when a traitor takes an Space Dragon final objective, which summons
a carp migration event.

Wizard ritual events!

Even this one!
This also changes runEvent() to run_event(), because I figured I'd be
touching every single instance of the proc anyways.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better feedback, less confusion amongst deadchat's constituents.
Some of them may be a bit self-explanatory, but in some cases
(especially the apocalypse rune) it's beneficial to know that an admin
isn't the one behind it.
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->

So this issue is multi-part
1. Separatist antag datum used the wrong mob for applying laws to.
`mob_override` is not passed usually and should default to the antag
datum owner's mob if not passed
Fixes this by passing the right mob. AI still doesn't get law datums,
the issue is deeper - they don't even become separatists!
2. Separatists only iterates over human mobs, and not silicon mobs
Okay, fixes this by iterating over all living players. Still not
entirely fixed, new AIs don't have UN laws!
3. Changes the default law datum when nations executes to United Nations
so new unlinked silicons gain the lawset
Closer, would you believe it if this still doesn't fix everything, but
going further is out of scope.
Changing the round default lawset as a part of roundstart execution does
not update anything that set it from atom initialize. If we wanted we
could hook signals into "default lawset changed" and then update it
conditionally to circumvent ALL of these issues but whatever, someone
can do that later.

## About The Pull Request
So like, using traitor panel to make revs doesn't work.
Revolutions live and die, currently, by the revolution ruleset datum
dynamic creates. It manages the hostile environment and also processes
to check whether either side should be winning or not.
This means that the revolutionary buttons in the traitor panel are kind
of noob-admin-bait. You press it for a funny revolution and then you
realize it's screwed when all the heads are dead and everyone's
stumbling around cluelessly
This has a proper solution, albeit somewhat difficult - separate out the
revolution from the ruleset, make admin spawned revs create a
revolution. I can do this but it's a lot of effort and this works in the
meanwhile
Pops up a TGUI alert when an admin presses "add revolutionary" in
traitor panel when there is no ongoing revolution. Simply enough, gives
them an alert that it will not work correctly. Lets them decide whether
they want to deal with that. (Because you can manually deal with it via
proc calls, if you've got code smarts.)
