Requested by oranges and inspired by the upcoming event. A new subsyetem, non-processing (for now), aimed at providing some toggle switches that can be flipped as a last ditch effort to save some CPU cycles by sacrificing some non-critical mechanics. Below you can see each individual toggle.

Surely there are more opportunities for toggles I missed, but adding new ones is not very difficult at all.
Why It's Good For The Game
Better performance during extreme pop, I hope.
Changelog
cl
code: Introduces the Lag Switch subsystem for when a smoother experience is worth trading a few bells and whistles for. Performance enhancement measures can be togged by admins with the Show Lag Switches admin verb or enabled automatically at a pop amount set via config.
config: Added a new config var: number/auto_lag_switch_pop
* Converts looping sounds from a list of play locations to just the one
* Updates all uses of looping sounds to match the new arg
* Adds an area based sound manager that hooks into looping sounds to drive the actual audio. I'll be using this to redo how weather effects handle sound
* Some structrual stuff to make everything else smoother
Timers now properly return the time left for client based timers
Weather sends global signals when it starts/stops
Looping sounds now use their timerid var for all their sound related timers, not just the main loop
* This is the painful part
Adds an area sound manager component, it handles the logic of moving into new areas potentially creating new
sound loops. We do some extra work to prevent stacking sound loops.
Adds an ash storm listener element that adds a tailored area sound manager to clients on the lavaland z level.
It's removed on logout.
Adds the ash_storm_sounds assoc list, a reference to this is passed into area sound managers, and it's modified
in a manner that doesn't break the reference in ash_storm (This is what I hate)
* Hooks ash storm listener into cliented mobs and possessed objects
* Documents the odd ref stuff, adds an ignore start var to looping sounds, fixes some errors and lint issues
* Applies kyler's review
banging

* Cleans up some var names, reduces the amount of looping we do in some areas
* Makes the code compile, redoes the movement listener to be more general
* fuck
* We don't need to detach on del if we're just removing signals on detach
* Should? work
* if(direct) memes

closes#58379
Stationary gas tanks have been in a terrible place for a long time, this addresses some of the issues with a more balance focused change coming in a second mapping pr after this one.
Stationary gas tanks have been made constructable and act similarly to canisters in that they can be damaged, repaired, and over-pressurized to explode. Additionally, they can be made with any rigid material and their stats depend on that material. A glass tank is going to have far less pressure capability than one made of plasteel.
In terms of gameplay there are two main differences now: Adjacent stationary tanks will merge together both graphically and with their internal storage. Any port on any of the tanks can access this shared storage. Also stationary tanks no longer magically have many times the volume for gas as the tile it's in, instead they have a pressure cap and a normal amount of volume.
Of interest to coders this pr also adds a generic grouping datum that acts similar to how pipe networks work. It maintains a listing of all adjacent objects whose type falls within a specified filter. In this case it's used for the gas tanks to know of every other tank in the group. I'll be looking into spreading it's usage elsewhere where this can replace existing one off systems.
Some (de)construction:
First a glass tank is constructed which is then immediately damaged by the high pressure in the gas storage that is now shared. After repairing it for a moment another metal tank is built.
I broke shuttles and other things by trusting queued_time.
This fixes it better, by tracking the ticks it's suppose to miss.
closes: #59805 (this doesn't actually work anymore it seems)
Simply puts species IDs into defines ("lizard" turns into #define SPECIES_LIZARD "lizard"). This does not affect any gameplay, and is purely for making sure future code doesn't go all fucked up because someone accidentally misspells something
I only changed code that was spelt correctly, so if there actually is a typo somewhere, it isn't changed
Refactors dbcore to work off a subsystem if executed async and limits the maximum amount of concurrent async queries to 25.
This has been tested locally on a mysql docker image and there were no crashes (as long as you didn't run it with debug extools) + data was getting recorded fine.
Why It's Good For The Game
May or may not resolve terry crashes, however, each query creates a new thread which takes up 2mb, preventing the game from using that 2mb. This can lead to ooms if they stack up, e.g. due to poor connectivity. This solves that issue.
maintainer note: this did not actually resolve the crashes, but has value anyway. Crashes were sidestepped fixed by finding out Large Address Awareness works
cl
refactor: Refactors dbcore.dm to possibly resolve the crashes that happen on Terry.
/cl
I noticed that various nonhuman body features can't be changed using genetics. I corrected this by adding a block to character genomes allowing you to edit features in the DNA console.
At some point in the last few weeks, the OOC heart commendations that players were polled for during the shuttle's return trip at the end of the round stopped appearing for people on the live servers, even though admin logs showed it was still calculating how many people were supposed to be asked, and it seemed to be working fine on my local server. My only guess is it might somehow be related to #58419 since that was the last PR to touch hearted.dm, even if it's not clear how it might've broken it.
I also neaten up the code for commendations a bit, making it so the procs are easier to follow and have less unnecessary checks. Also, the proc nominate_heart has been reworked to receive_heart, since it makes more sense for it to run on the person receiving the commendation as opposed to the person sending it. It will also properly cancel polling if the "how many to ask" check returns 0 people, rather than always polling at least one.
Edit: Figured it out, #58419 was indeed the culprit, it blindly replaced src with usr without considering that src and usr aren't necessarily the same thing (as it was here, since query_heart() was called by the ticker SS)
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
Sourced from #59118 and a cursed project I'll pr later, This pr contains a lot of harddel fixes for stuff that pops up after a player interacts with something. I'm not gonna list them all here because there's something like 60 130, check the commit log if you're curious
Oh and I moved ref tracking screaming to a separate define, and made some optimizations to the thing in general. I think that's it, this pr is a bit of a frankenstine
* Adds in support for basic send maps profiling, I'd still like to get something that tracks with the round a bit
better, but we can worry about that later
* Adds a debug verb that displays the sendmaps profiling page, as basic as it is
* Define respect
* Patches over an error where profiles would persist through rounds, somehow. Adds the maptick stuff to performance logging, so we can look at how things change over a short period of time
Adds a 2FA system for admins. When a config is enabled, a database storing your last CID and IP will be checked to see if you have connected through there before. If not, you will not be able to admin until you are verified. Verification is done by opening a website (decided by config), which is tasked with updating the database entry, which will then let you reverify.
MSO wants to implement this as a forum page, but the DM-side is completely agnostic to whatever the implementation is, just that it updates the database. This means that it could potentially be some TOTP stuff, even.
If the database is down, a backup file is checked for your most recent verified connection (IP + CID). If you are on this connection, you will be able to connect fine. If the database is down and you are on a new connection, someone with +PERMISSIONS can manually verify you through the Permissions Panel.
We've had repeated attacks of admins getting their accounts stolen, it's time.
Delaying/undelaying round end is no longer a toggle under the same href.
Delaying and undelaying the round end are now explicit operations. If two admins attempt to delay round end at the same time, the first admin to input a reason wins and the second admin instead gets an alert that the round end is already delayed along with the reason instead of accidentally untoggling it.
FINALLY, undelaying round end will no longer trigger an immediate auto server reboot when SSticker.ready_for_reboot is TRUE. The admins are messaged that they must Reboot World manually. This is the final guard against admins accidentally undelaying when they're not actually ready to do so.
This is needed for the rare case that the situation described in the ban turns out to be inaccurate, so future searches for the user in the ban db don't lead admins to the wrong opinion.
Creating a situation where the admin has to remember to edit the ban reason before unbanning them is kinda lame
I'd love to make it so only the reason is editable, but that is far too much work for too little benefit.

Yes this is blatant bait to get more things converted.
While working on this I fixed item greyscale updates to include their held and worn states, the vending machine ui is now tsx instead of js, icons generated by gags are created with an error state by default, the greyscale color menu defaults to not show you the full debug preview, and the wording in the debug menu is a bit more in-character friendly.
Changelog
cl
add: Greyscale items using GAGS in vending machines can have their colors chosen before vending. Not many things are capable of this yet but expect more to come.

When I changed sentience fun balloons to TGUI I accidentally made it so they can't be edited or popped unless you were next to them or had AI interact turned on. This allows admins to pop them at any range.

fix: sentience fun balloons now work consistently again!

* Fixes some more holes in the ref tracker
The reference tracker was failing to check null keyed assoc list entries, along with being unable to check both
lists in a list(list() = list()) pair
This resolves that, and adds some new logic to the unit test to check for this sort of thing
* Seperates the ref tracking unit test into 6 subtasks as requested
Redoes how geese handle eating shit, it was fucking stupid and caused harddels, and while this method is technically slower in the best case, it's a fucking goose
Fixes action related harddels, I hate how they work but at least this way they won't hold refs.
Fixes the hierophont causing its beacon to harddel
Removes the M variable from megafauna actions, it was used like a typed owner and caused harddels, so I burned it
Fixes target and targets_from harddels, replaces all setters of target with LoseTarget and GiveTarget, which should help maintain behavior. I'm not sure if this breaks anything, but if it does we should fix the assumptions that code makes instead of reverting this change
Fixes more area_senstive_contents related harddels, we need to allow the mob to move before clearing out its list.
Fixes marked object harddels (I'm coming for you admin team)
Fixes a language based human harddel
Fixes managed overlay related harddels (This was just emissive blockers, but I think this is a good safety net to have. If we clear the overlay list we should clear this one as well)
Fixes bot core harddels, I hate the fact that this exists but it has no reason to know who its owner is
Adds a walk(src, 0) to simple_animal destroy, it's the best bang for the buck in terms of stopping spurious harddels. Walk related harddels aren't that expensive in the first place, since byond does the same thing I'm doing here, but this makes finding mob harddels easier, so let's go with it
I fixed another source of part harddels, I hate fullupgrade so much
Fixes all the sound loop harddels
* FINALLY IT IS DONE FUCK
* tip of the round into ooc
* adds cyopod chat messages to the info chat filter
* last one I promise probably, mob spawner messages to info filter
* holoparasite, round will start in x and keybinding conflict to respective filters
* removed motd from constants, made it infoplain surrounded instead
* changed info to infoplain
Previously, the menu wouldn't show you the generation steps for icons other than the south dir icons. You can now specify which you want to see. In addition the config type itself can be changed so as to allow previewing of icons that normally are not displayed directly on the map.

SDQL spells are spells that execute an SDQL query. This requires a config flag to be enabled in game_options.txt. When enabled, admins with debug verbs have the ability to open a menu allowing them to define all the relevant vars for the spell, including icons and spell requirements.
It also fixes a bug with superuser SDQL queries always runtime if they try to call a proc.
