I've been pulling my hair out on this one. Ever since I started my ntnet project, I could never get LateInitalize to work right. Apparently it has never worked right. How it was set up before on server start
Station map loads, Does NOT run Initialize(mapload = TRUE)
Generates space, lavaland/icebox ruins
Loads a ruin, DOES run Initialize(mapload = TRUE) EXCEPT on areas
End of mapping system
Atom system Initialized and it checks and runs Initialize(mapload = TRUE) on world
You see the issue? Initialize and by extension LateInitialize is run in blocks. Worst, LateInitialize is run on turfs FIRST in ruins BEFORE Initialize is ever run on the other atoms. While there isn't much in Area, there is map_generator so I am sure it caused some grief for map creators.
The NEW order now is
Station map loads, Does NOT run Initialize(mapload = TRUE)
Generates space, lavaland/icebox ruins
Loads a ruin, Does NOT run Initialize(mapload = TRUE)
End of mapping system
Atom system Initialized and it checks and runs Initialize(mapload = TRUE) on world
Also if you dynamicly load a map, like snowdin or such, it will Initialize all atoms at once and then run LateInitialize properly
About The Pull Request
Ports and improves my interview system that has been previously used in the summer ball and toolbox tournament events. Allows for a 'softer' panic bunker, wherein players who fall below the required living time limit can still join the server and be restricted to filling out a questionnaire. Upon completing the questionnaire, the player may be allowed into the server by an administrator. If the application is approved, they get a notification that they will be reconnected and upon reconnecting will have all verbs as they usually would. If the application is denied the user is put on a cooldown after which they may submit a new questionnaire.
Players who are being interviewed (herein interviewees) have no verbs other than those required for the stat panel to function, as well as a verb to pull up the interview panel. Interviews do not persist through restarts, and the ability to join that is granted by an accepted interview is only valid for the duration of that round.
Open interviews are listed under a new 'interviews' tab for admins, which is VERY similar to the existing tickets tab.
Below is what a player who is flagged as an interviewee will see when they join the server. They can do nothing but respond to the questionnaire or leave.

This is what an administrator sees after an interview is submitted, they will also see a corresponding message within their chatbox, and an age-old BWOINK when an interview is submitted.

The interviews tab, which is similar to the tickets menu. You can open the interview manager panel to view all active (including non-submitted) interviews, queued (submitted) interviews, and closed interviews.

FAQ:
What happens if someone submits an interview when no admins are on? It's treated like adminhelps are, the message gets sent to TGS to be dispatched off to configured end-points (like Discord or IRC), and the user is notified that their interview was handled this way.
Can you configure the questions? Yes, in config/ there is now a interviews.txt file in which the welcome message and the individual questions can be set and modified.
Can this be turned on and off during a round? Yes, it can be toggled like the panic bunker. It requires the panic bunker to be raised in order to function.
Can interviewees have further questions asked to them? Yes, if you admin-pm them, which is possible using regular means or a conveniently placed button on the interview UI, they will be able to respond to the message.
Technical details
To use the interview system you must have the panic bunker enabled, this is an additional setting for the panic bunker. It can be set through the PANIC_BUNKER_INTERVIEW setting in config.txt, or alternatively enabled in-game as prompted during the panic bunker toggling process. It also can be toggled on its own using a verb added for this purpose, Toggle PB Interviews found under the server tab. These new actions are included in the logging for the panic bunker. I have also added a reporting stat to the world topic status keyword, which now reports if the interview system is on using the keyword interviews.
As mentioned above, for server operators, configure the questions and welcome message in config/interviews.txt.
Note to maintainers and those with big brains I had to add a call to init_verbs on the stat panel window being ready because seemingly a race condition exists wherein the add_verb of the 'view my interview' verb doesn't cause a refresh of the tabs (and therefore doesn't show the 'Interview' tab) when running in dream daemon but running it directly from visual studio code properly shows the tab. Adding a init_verbs call directly after adding the verb didn't seem to help.
A note for downstreams
If you don't use the HTML stat panel (which may not be a bad thing) then you will have to do some conversion from the HTML stat panel stuff used here to the old style stat panels. It's pretty trivial, but just be aware of that. You can see how I used to use the old stat panels in my PR from the summer ball, here, which should be helpful.
Why It's Good For The Game
This allows for a softer version of the panic bunker which impedes the flow of malicious players while allowing genuine players a chance to enter a round to gain enough time to not be affected by the panic bunker's restrictions.
Changelog

add: Added the interview system, a 'soft' panic bunker which lets players who would normally be blocked from joining be interviewed by admins to be selectively allowed to play.

imo; the ss13 audio-scape is quite barren, you can only hear most things if you can see them, which in my opinion doesn't make much sense. This changes that so you can hear further away, but falloff is much higher, so in reality you will only hear things relatively quietly when they're out of sight.
This PR increases the hearing distance of most sound by 9, excluding sounds such as antag items that are meant to be used stealthily
This PR also replaces Byond's inbuilt falloff system with something I made, (And thanks to potato for helping me throw together a formula for it). This fall-off system makes sound fall off more naturally, with sounds being full volume within a certain range, and then softly falling off until they are completely quiet. This makes for a smoother transition between "This sound is full volume" and "I dont hear this sound".

Title. Also added some precautions to bank_account/new() and the crab17 gear.
The fact the majority of functions pertinent to the bank_accounts list was O(n) disquieted me.
Implements the ?. operator, replacing code like A && A.B with A?.B
BYOND Ref:
When reading A?.B, it's equivalent to A && A.B except that A is only evaluated once, even if it's a complex expression like a proc call.
* Adds a living time value to the panic bunker, so you can keep people out based on time spent playing the game
* updates the admin verb, and enables %minutes% as an option
* Makes a proc call more clear

Adds and implements alloy materials
Takes several materials that were mostly fluff and converts them into actual usable materials.
Messes with material code a bit to make alloys recycle back into their component materials.
Adds the alloy materials to their in-game stacks.
Materials added:
Plasteel
Plastitanium
Plasmaglass
Titaniumglass
Plastitanium Glass
Alien Alloy
Makes plasteel/plastitanium/plasmaglass and the rest able to have separate properties from their component materials. It doesn't make much sense that the materials used to seal off the supermatter chamber from the rest of the station would be prone to exploding when heated.
Allows for further expansion of materials, possibly including actual functional metallurgy and smelting at some point in the very distant future.
(Lemons note: Adds a regeneration component, used for alien alloy)

I re-styled the CSS for the stat panel in hopes to make it look nice, and I also added the ability to use sub-categories (currently a single level) of verbs using a . (period), an example being Admin.Fun instead of the previous Admin - Fun. This now results in a sub-category being automagically generated in the stat panel.
All ui_act procs should call parent by default. All procs should preserve the value of the parent proc when it's TRUTHY and pass it down the call stack. No UI should be interactible when its flags or state indicate it should not be, except when explicity overriden by child procs intentionally disregarding parent return values to achieve a specific goal.
Admins now have the option to enable or disable the shuttle(located in the admin tab).
Disabling the shuttle will basically pause it where it is, regardless(unless game is over). Until the admins enable it again. It will resume exactly back to where it was and continue from there. This is great for events. You can't recall or call the shuttle while it's disabled.
Admins also now get the option when calling the shuttle to disable the recall of said shuttle unless they cancel it or select enable shuttle.
- Backtick-escape code samples which contain `[]` syntax.
- Fix all crosslinks to nonexistent symbols.
- Somewhat improve docs for qdel defines, research defines, dynamic mode, and others.
- Remove unused bloodcrawling defines.
Some crosslinks to defined but undocumented symbols remain. For BYOND builtins, a future dmdoc version may link those symbols to their entries in the DM reference. Other symbols could be documented by a future PR.
New "file" crosslinks as used in `research.dm` are slated for release in a future dmdoc version.
During dismemberment from wounds, some scars would stick around even though the limb was no longer attached to the person. This was because I removed the scars from the person before removing the wounds, which itself would create more scars that would still be tied to the victim's scars. This fixes that, and tidies up some related code as well. Notably, you can now see which types of wounds a detached limb is suffering from by sight. Also, I have no clue what happened before when you attached a limb with existing wounds to someone, but I've made sure it applies the wounds to the person where they left off.
I also realized I made an order of operations error in the self-treatment for broken bones (with the bone gel and surgical tape) on the bone gel step, which made failing these treatments and briefly passing out/wasting a use of the gel 38 percentage points more likely than intended. This corrects that, so the base is 25%/45% failure for severe/critical blunt wounds. It also raises the bonuses to succeeding you get from painkillers a bit since you're going through a lot of trouble for all this already.
### Gameplay changes:
- Spacemen lose their ability to sculpt all minerals into statues barehanded, you need a chisel now.
- You can now create carving blocks out of 5 sheets of most materials.
- Using a chisel on the blocks you can designate what to carve in it (including the preset statues from before).
- Chisels can be printed at autolathe, there's also one in art storage.
### Code changes:
- Squeak component now squeaks on attack_hand for structures.
- Radials now accept atom paths automatically extracting the name with initial.
- Base and rigid stack recipes renamed appropriately.
- Statues now use custom materials.
qdel'd objects could still process in SSair because SSair utilises a cache whenever it has to resume processing runs from a partially completed state from running out of processing time.
Of all the things that processed on SSair, only one thing actually took care to remove itself from the cache as well on deletion.
This is an important subsystem and the processing lists should not be public. Objects don't need to know how SSair works, they just call the proc to add when they start processing and call the proc to remove when they finish.
Thanks to @LemonInTheDark and @willox for spending a lot of time helping me track down a proper fix to this issue.
Optimizes stat panel code for better performance, including icon caching and removing some unnecessary processing
