## About The Pull Request
Closes#79969
In administration, things shouldn't be _required_ to have unique names.
I think that searching by ckey/key in logs should still work fine but I
can see the value in having the mob tag (which is also exposed in places
like `debug.log`, and in public spots too like `hallucinations.html`)
being added with all this data for even more trimming if you wanna find
all the rule-breaking stuff someone does as a very specific mob.
Anyways, the player details datum tracks both the name as well as the
mob tag in an associated list that we can access in order to do work
with it in stuff like the player panel.
We do this by the following
* Rework the player details list to be associated, as well as updating
all instances of the proc that sets this list.
* Make the code for handling duplicates a bit more explicit so it
actually works.
* Make the formatting in the player panel better as well.
* Also add the mob tag information to wherever we might need to log it
via a new proc `key_name_and_tag()`
* Also adds this information to the per-player player panel
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better administration tools, should be more helpful when it comes to
filtering as well as post-mortem cross-comparison for coders in order to
find out exactly _which_ mob was problematic when looking at debug.log
or whatever you may have.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#76349
I didn't know that people needed to add any new traits to a global list
so they can be easily read in View Variables, and was pretty shocked to
find out many other people didn't know it was a thing. Let's make it a
thing by testing it using a new CI Python Linter to check this. But oh
no-
There were about 200+ missing traits. Alright, so let's do the
following:
* Move trait defines to their own dedicated folder in the `_DEFINES`
folder.
* Split up the traits mega-file into different files, for better
organization. One for the macros, one for the sources, and a few for the
"trait declarations"
* Run the linter a load of times and add everything to the globalvars
file, removing anything that's no longer used and figuring out where the
best categorization of it is. also minor code improvements. also rename
all of the ones that look weird. also fix list indentations
* Also alphabetize the lists because it's easy
* Move everything to a new `traits_by_type` list, while keeping the
admin one the way it is for the time being while we figure out a better
way to show that list to admins.
* Profit
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mapping trait injectors will now work for any type of trait. You
shouldn't add any trait via this injector though, but you're no longer
limited to coders remembering to add it to that critical list you
needed.
Lays the framework for a better view variables experience. This work is
too lengthy to presently do, but hopefully we can get this done sooner
rather than later. we will need a code-accessible way to view these
traits for such a framework to be implemented, so let's just do that.
Future steps are to break down the mega-declarations file into a folder
full of separate files by typepath, but that requires a lot of auditing.
Does need to happen one day though, there's a lot of mob traits mingled
with datum traits and auuugh we gotta do this later this PR is already
massive.
there's probably ways to game this but this catches _my_ mistakes so
good luck to everyone else (it should work for 99% of everyone)
## Changelog
Nothing applicable to players. However, to mappers, the mapping trait
injector should always be able to add any kind of trait (which is rather
good for the times when you need it).

## About The Pull Request
This adds a global list to precalculate lists that need to be handled
special by vv instead of manually updating such a list. @LemonInTheDark
brought up a potential issue with handling all lists in the way special
lists are handled, that modifying a list in vv can in some cases result
in the wrong list being opened for editing. This makes only special
lists have the issue instead of blindly accessing all lists the same
way.

Converts maintenance drones to use the basic mob framework. As drones
don't use AI, this was mostly a perfunctory conversion, but I took the
opportunity to clean up drone code a bit and fixed a few bugs.
Noteworthy changes:
- Drones now have a `can_unhack` field. This is set to FALSE on
syndrones, because unhacking them doesn't make them stop being evil but
does cause some weirdness. Syndrones are unused right now, but you never
know.
- Drones use the Dextrous component for hand-having.
- Drones no longer have an internal ID card, instead being given
all-access with the `simple_access` component.
- Picking up drones now works the same as for other mobs, instead of
pointlessly copying the code into `attack_hand`. As a consequence, it is
now possible to punch drones if you want to for some reason.
- Drones can now reboot/cannibalize dead drones without being in combat
mode.
- Cannibalizing a drone that contains a client no longer runtimes - the
client is ghosted ahead of time.
- Drones now have TRAIT_ADVANCEDTOOLUSER, allowing them to properly
interact with machines.
- Trying to screwdriver a dead drone now gives a balloon alert about why
you can't do that.
In addition to these changes, I cleaned up the code quite a bit,
organizing things better and placing more useful comments throughout.
And removing a hell of a lot of single-letter variable names.
I will note that this PR does _not_ address #72129. The issue there is
that sprites for drones-as-hats are entirely nonexistent, and I'm not a
spriter. It shouldn't be too hard to fix if someone makes dronehat
sprites, though!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills 8 more simple animals.
In addition to that, drones were clearly a bit neglected, so this fixes
them up a bit and makes the code a little bit clearer. Maybe not that
much clearer, but it's something. It certainly leaves them in a better
place for further work if anyone wants to do that. Plus, a bunch of bugs
and other jankiness are fixed now, which is nice.
## Changelog

shouldn't come with any noticeable gameplay changes, but please report
any bugs.

## About The Pull Request
See title.
If someone was abusing signalers previously to cause server lag, going
into list signalers would actually cause even worse lag as byond sat
there and processed thousands of items into a string over and over,
which would cause string format operations on longer and longer strings,
resulting in more and more overhead. This is bad.
So instead there is now a limit to the size of the list, currently I
have that set to 500 although I am open to increasing and even reducing
the number.
I have also made signalers slightly more intuitive by having the
cooldown actually displayed in the ui as a tooltip instead of just being
a secret feature you didnt know about unless you code dived. Also made
the cooldown actually respected by things such as circuitry where it
didnt even implement the cooldown and would happily send as many signals
as you had items connected to your proximity circuit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins won't accidentally kill the server by trying to parse a lag
machines signal list. Players lagging the server? No, how about the
admins trying to fix it!

## About The Pull Request
`SS13.get_runner_client()` and `SS13.get_runner_ckey` will return the
client and the ckey respectively of the user who ran the lua script. Can
be unreliable after the first sleep or yield.
The SS13 module can now be made local as the tables that need to be
accessed globally have been moved to their own global variables.
Added `SS13.start_loop(time, amount, func)`, `SS13.end_loop(id)`,
`SS13.stop_all_loops()` that allow lua scripts to more easily make
loops. Removed the `timer` parameter from these functions, which
specified the timer subsystem to use.
Documentation on all new added functions have been added in the
lua/README.md
## Why It's Good For The Game
Getting the client who ran the script and the ckey that ran the script
is useful for self contained scripts that are looking for an entrypoint
(e.g. location to spawn some item/mob/structure). `dm.usr` is a special
variable used for other purposes and can be unreliable when used this
way even if there haven't been any sleeps or yields yet, so having a
dedicated variable and function to handle it makes things easier.
Being able to make the SS13 module local allows for more self-contained
scripts. Although this isn't super helpful because `require` will still
load the same object for all lua scripts loaded on the same state.
Basic looping helpers allow for lua scripts to more easily create loops
without needing to recursively do a `set_timeout` or to do a
`while(true) do SS13.wait(1) end` loop.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Added SS13.get_runner_ckey() and SS13.get_runner_client() which

## About The Pull Request
Primarily this pr is all about getting pipes to have a visual display
for the gas within them. A couple other things of note have been done to
make that easier though:
- A sprite generator that outputs to a dmi has been made for all pipe
variants and the layers. This is because I didn't want to work with
hundreds of pipe sprites just to do minor changes. In the future I would
like to generate things like this during a github action but for the
moment this is just a helper you can use for generating the pipe dmi
files.
- Some minor reorganization of the code in the pipe dm file.
- Some doc comments on things that bothered me
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives a bit of visual feedback when working with pipes that should
hopefully make people more comfortable around them if they can easily
see if the pipes are empty or are filled with an unknown gas mixture.

## About The Pull Request
Quick refactor, replaces `spec_updatehealth` with use of
`COMSIG_LIVING_HEALTH_UPDATE`.
`spec_updatehealth` was only used by one species, ethereals, and it was
used in a (in my opinion) janky way by calling `spec_updatehealth`
constantly.
This has one downside - `COMSIG_LIVING_HEALTH_UPDATE` is NOT sent if the
mob is in godmode, while `spec_updatehealth` was, which means godmoded
ethereals may not update 100% accurately according to their health
before entering godmode, but I doubt this will come into play often at
all.
- [x] I tested this PR

## About The Pull Request
This takes all the gib related procs:
- `gib()`
- `spawn_gibs()`
- `spill_organs()`
- `spread_bodyparts()`
And adds heavy documentation that communicates what the procs are used
for and how the different bitflags affect them. The difference is
noticeable:
`gib(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, null)` vs `gib(DROP_ORGANS|DROP_BODYPARTS)`
The code is now much more legible which is important considering it's
used in a lot of places!
Another robust change, is that we had several places in the code where
there were double negatives like so:
```
/mob/living/carbon/spill_organs(no_brain, no_organs, no_bodyparts)
if(!no_bodyparts) // DOUBLE NEGATIVES ARE BAD M'KAY?!?
// do stuff here
```
This is a mindfuck to untangle. I inverted a lot of these parts so we
don't lose our sanity.
Last thing that was changed was a big `if()` loop in the `spill_organ()`
proc. This was refactored to just be a simple `for` loop with `continue`
statements where we needed to skip enabled bitflags. It's now shorter
and cleaner than before.
The only slight gameplay change this affects is that gibbing a mob now
guarantees to drop all items unless the `DROP_ITEMS` bitflag is
deliberately omitted. Some places like admin gib self, we don't want
this to happen.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gib code is very old. (~15 years) People kept adding more arguments to
the procs when it should have been a bitflag initially. By doing it this
way, there is more flexibility and readability when it comes to adding
new code in the future.
## Changelog

refactor: Refactor gib code to be more robust.
qol: Gibbing a mob will result in all items being dropped instead of
getting deleted. There are a few exceptions (like admin gib self) where
this will not take place.

Fixes#68614
Converts the Flesh Worm (Armsy) into a Basic Mob.
Most of its behaviour has been moved into a component which we can use
to make arbitrary mobs into linked lists of mobs.
To accomplish this I added a signal which is sent when you call any
`adjustXLoss` proc, let me know if my implementation is "calling the
same signal from several places" by a backdoor, I wanted to avoid
registering to 6 signals but I'll change it if I must.
While I was here I killed the unused "lesser" variant because we stopped
using it. Resultingly, Ascended Armsy doesn't need to distinguish itself
by inflating the sprite, so it doesn't. This means that now flesh worms
are using their sprites as intended to be displayed, but if people
really miss all of its segments being poorly scaled by the byond engine
then I guess I can restore it.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a very ugly menu which allows admins to force dynamic
rulesets to be enabled or disabled.
Some admins asked if someone could add this and it seems reasonably
useful.
The information you have available becomes slightly more detailed once
the game is actually running, because then we know how many players and
how much threat there is.
I don't know why the weight of every midround is 0 when I run locally.
It's fine.
Unfortunately, the interface I have crafted is hideous. This is because
it's not part of tgui and I am not very good at working with byond UIs
without my beautiful typescript. It functions though.
If anyone has any pointers I'll take 'em.
"Force disabling" a ruleset simply ensures it will never run.
"Force enabling" a ruleset disregards minimum population and minimum
threat rules, but doesn't ensure that the ruleset will run. It might
still be skipped due to low weight, insufficient threat to _buy_ it, or
other disqualifying factors.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It was an admin request so presumably they have some plans for it.
It's a less-intrusive way of theming a round than disabling dynamic and
running all the midround rules yourself.
If they want to temporarily set the game to traitorling I guess they can
do that. Or only heretic/cult.

## About The Pull Request
Appearance vars are awful to detect. They have a type var you can
access, for an appearance the value of this var is `/image`. However
`istype(appearance, /image) == 0`. This is good enough for
identification, you might think this just means detecting appearance
would be something like `if(thing.type == /image && !istype(thing,
/image))`, but there's a problem with this: `istype(appearance, /datum)
== 0`. For that matter it seems like all istypes that check if an
appearance is some type fail, so you can't know that it's safe to access
the `.type` var to do that earlier combined check.
Now we get into magic territory, `istype(new /image, appearance) == 1`.
I have no clue internally why this is the case but it seems to be unique
to appearances, and so can be used to identify them from a previously
unknown var. You have to rule out that the thing you're checking is a
path, it would pass the check if the value were `/image` then, but this
is simple enough.
I hate having to know all this, so now you know this too.

## About The Pull Request
Some changes to Cosmic and Knock heretic ascensions, in response to
feedback.
- Cosmic Heretics can no longer control their summon while jaunted.
- Additionally the death link element the Star Gazer used... wouldn't
work if there was more than one cosmic heretic. I refactored it into a
component, so that it would.
Frankly there are probably a lot of _other_ abilities which shouldn't be
usable while jaunted but are, but I have been burned in the past by
adding defaults which were applied too widely so we'll leave it
case-by-case for now.
- The Knock rift can no longer summon Flesh Worms of any kind.
- But it _can_ summon fire sharks (we really need to reflavour these...)
and any future "basic mob" heretic mobs (or ones which are converted).
- Additionally the rift can't be clicked by ghosts while it's polling
ghosts automatically because that would create funky empty-minded mobs.
- Finally it goes away when the heretic dies.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For Cosmic Heretics, controlling the Star Gazer in conjunction with
Space Jaunt essentially meant that the heretic was playing an RTS as an
invincible observer with an invulnerable unit, now they have to actually
be present and killable in order to sic The Beast on you.
For Knock Heretics, Minor Flesh Worms are a proof of concept which was
never meant to be used except by admins. They're _barely_ weaker than a
normal flesh worm, extraordinarily tanky, delete walls, and generally
devalue the Flesh path ascension.
Vanishing upon heretic death is because every _other_ ascension is at
least theoretically stoppable except this one. Now this one is too.
It's still _very hard_ to kill the heretic because every _10 seconds_
they can transform into a heretic mob which acts as an extra health
pool.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: If two cosmic heretics ascend in the same round, their star gazer
survival will be linked to each individual heretic and not shared by
just one of them.
fix: You can't click the Knock heretic portal to join as a mob while
already signed up to become a mob.
balance: Cosmic heretics can't order the Star Gazer around while
jaunting.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal cannot summon Flesh Worms, but can
summon Fire Sharks.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal will disperse if its creator is
killed.

## About The Pull Request
Right now it says "ADMIN created 10ea spiders.", which is really odd
syntax since nothing else in the game does this. This just fixes it so
the message reads "ADMIN created 10 spiders.", which is a lot more clear
to my eyes.
## Changelog
I'll be honest I had no idea you could spawn mobs this way and I don't
think it's measurable enough to even put an `admin` changelog.
## About The Pull Request
You add spells to mobs via a dropdown in VV but mob abilities via
marking the mob and pressing a button in the admin status panel.
I like opening the VV menu more than I like marking mobs (I am usually
going to need to open it anyway) so I added an alternate route in the VV
dropdown.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's better for my personal workflow.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Mob abilities can be granted to arbitrary mobs via the VV menu in
a similar way to spells.

## About The Pull Request
- Reworks transformation sting.
- Transformation sting is now temporary, lasting 8 minutes (number not
final) in humans.
- If used on a monkey, it lasts forever instead.
- While the target mob is dead or in stasis, the duration will not
progress, making it functionally infinite until revived and taken off
stasis, where it will resume its timer where it left off.
- Chemical cost reduced to 33
- DNA cost reduced to 2
- Removes TRAIT_NO_TRANSFORMATION_STING, instead just checks for
TRAIT_NO_DNA_COPY
- These were essentially the same traits, so I just combined the two
- Organizes some trait lists alphabetically
- Adds TRAIT_STASIS, to allow for reacting to mobs entering and exiting
stasis via COMSIGS
- Everything that checks IS_IN_STASIS now checks HAS_TRAIT TRAIT_STASIS,
which is probably more performant, so that's a bonus.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A lot of people don't like the current iteration of Transformation
Sting, me included
Right now it's only use is for a meme - you make the entire station into
felinids until you get lynched, and that's it.
It's not really a healthy ability for ling's current kit, so this pr
attempts to soft rework it to make it a bit more in line with how ling
should be acting - turning it into a source of short term confusion
between people, or using it on a body to cover your tracks.
This accomplish it two fold - One, it is now cheap enough to use twice
in rapid succession, allowing for quick on-the-spot "BE CONFUSED"
situations while you abscond. Two, as mentioned in the last paragraph,
you can poke a body of someone you murder to obfuscate the crime scene
and maybe help out in taking over someone's identity.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Transformation sting now lasts 8 minutes, down from permanent.
However, the effect is paused for dead and stasis mobs, making it
permanent SO LONG AS they stay dead or in stasis. The effect is also
permanent if used on a monkey.
balance: Transformation sting now costs 33 chemicals, down from 50.
balance: Transformation sting now costs 2 dna points, down from 3.
fix: Transformation sting works on monkeys again.
refactor: Refactored a bit of human randomization.

## About The Pull Request
Adds an option to the respawn config which forces you to pick another
character (slot) before you respawn.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Just an idea i'm throwing out there, not necessarily pushing for it to
be enabled on any servers.
Respawning as an alternative character can be a good way to make people
less frustrated at dying, particularly if paired with the cooldown
config that already exists:
"Oh shucks, I died and got my head cut off and got absorbed and got
spaced by some changeling. I won't be able to finish my project or
whatever. At least in 15 minutes I may be able to join as my botanist
character to try something else rather than having to wait an hour and a
half for the round to tick over."
Also nice for downstream support.
(Obviously you can just, *ban* people who respawn as the same character,
use an honor system, but codifying it seems better than not.)
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
config: Adds a config option for player respawning that enables
respawns, but forces you pick a new character.
config: "NORESPAWN" has been replaced with "ALLOW_RESPAWN 0". Unlimited
respawns is "ALLOW_RESPAWN 1" and character limited respawns is
"ALLOW_RESPAWN 2".

## About The Pull Request
Adds a proc that types can override to inject extra information into the
refsearch
This'll allow us to more easily track and deal with refs held by general
datums, like callbacks.
I've implemented a template example FOR callbacks, to provide an example
and assist in solving future issues
Done to help lumipharon from TGMC, they were having trouble with this
case.
This isn't perfectly optimized, but this proc has a LOT of issues just
in general. Need to rework it to cut down on string churn someday
## About The Pull Request
As the title says, you can no longer become an antagonist if you can't
qualify for a role beforehand. How this works is that it runs job
assignment before antagonist roles are handed out to see which players
can qualify for a job role. It then undoes job assignments and then runs
antagonist assignment.
This is to prevent players from setting a highly contested role to low
priority so that they have a 0% chance of ever getting it, whilst still
being eligible for every antag role.
It's not completely foolproof as it's not really possible to account for
the fact that some players may become antagonists, thereby freeing up
some job slots. Since it's an approximation, it means that players who
put themselves at a high chance of returning back to lobby due to their
preference choices have an overall lower chance of becoming an
antagonist as they can be excluded from the antagonist roll due to the
random nature of job selection.
If players want to prevent this from happening, simply set a lot of jobs
to low/medium priority or adjust the "Return back to lobby" preference
to any other preference.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Prevents players from rolling antag without ever intending to play the
game as a non-antagonist.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed players being able to roll antagonist without ever being
eligible to play any role. Players who have their preferences set up so
that they're likely to return to lobby when the round starts have a
lowered chance of becoming antagonist.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a "manage religious sect" verb to the "game" menu of the admin
panel.
It can be used to assign the chaplain's sect if they haven't picked one
yet, or reassign it (to a different one, or to nothing) if they already
have.
This is likely mostly going to be used for ahelps where someone
misclicks or suddenly logs off and wants to be replaced by a different
chaplain with different ideas.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins asked me to make it
## Changelog
🆑
