## About The Pull Request
Reopened#78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.
- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424

## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits
Fixes#79465
<details>
<summary>More info</summary>
Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).
Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.
Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.
Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.

## Changelog
jlsnow301, infraredbaron
🆑
add: Bitrunning Patch 1 features a host of changes!
add: Added randomized mobs to virtual domains, which will be indicated
with a unique icon.
add: New emag interaction with the quantum server. Antags will spawn
more frequently, and they can hack themselves onto the station. You have
been warned.
add: Both living and dead players can now see which mob is going to
spawn an antagonist in the vdom.
add: Two new vdom antagonists: Cyber Tac and the NetGuardian. These
unlock at specific thresholds.
balance: You can no longer stack copies of the same ability with
bitrunning disks.
balance: Some of the disk items have been replaced with stronger
versions.
fix: You can no longer spy on crew using the advanced camera console on
syndicate assault.
fix: Fixed the spawning mechanism of virtual domain antagonists. You
should now have a chance of playing as one. This chance increases as
more domains are completed.
fix: Vdom antagonists shouldn't spawn at the end of the run any longer.
fix: The preference for vdom antagonists has been changed to factor in
the new types. Check your preferences!
fix: The quantum server will now show its balloon alerts to all
observers.
fix: Random domains should be fully random again.

## About The Pull Request
The next round of small changes to how bitrunning works - mostly from
feedback, bug reports etc.
- The loot crate delivery spot is now a buildable machine (the
byteforge), making it replaceable in the event of a disaster
- Same for netpods and quantum consoles. These boards are now
researchable and buildable.
- New icons for the byteforge and the health monitor
- Some bug fixes around despawning avatars
- Reimplements one of the bitrunning unit tests

## Why It's Good For The Game
Bitrunning bug fixes and personal requests
Fixes#78571
Fixes an issue reported in discord - players stuck as gondola spawn
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Added extra checks to bitrunning domain cleanup so avatars are
deleted properly.
add: Quantum servers now look for a new machine called a byteforge to
spawn loot on- no longer on an invisible landmark. This should make the
rooms rebuildable after disasters.
add: *Most* bitrunning machinery is now researchable and buildable via
circuits in the engineering protolathe.
