## About The Pull Request
update_filters() is more expensive than it should be due to running
timSort every time a filter is added or removed, plus we wipe
re-initialize the entire atom filter list every time we call it. I
swapped it to use binary insertion into the main list, and we can cut
down on the amount of filter churn by storing filters in a separate list
which we can use Insert on, which allows us to stop constantly deleting
and recreating filters completely.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Server CPU consumption go down

refactor: Refactored filters to utilize binary insertion instead of
timSort. The server should run somewhat faster now, hopefully.

## About The Pull Request
This is a big one so please bear with me, wounds are complicated
### Max Potential Wound Rolls
We've decreased the max contributed damage to wound rolls from 35 to 25.
This results, after the exponent, a max possible wound roll of 1 to 91
before any modifiers (assuming the attack, after armor, is 25 or above).
The minimum value to wound is still 5.
### Wound Escalation Penalties
Most wounds were contributing significant numbers per wound type to the
potential for a new wound to occur. Getting wounded once meant you were
getting wound a lot, but actually getting past that first wounding may
be the tricky part.
We have significantly reigned in the wound penalty that having a wound
contributes, and instead utilize the series wound penalty to allow same
type wounds to escalate themselves faster as a priority. Having wounds
still makes you more wound vulnerable, just not to such an extreme
degree.
The priority here for what wounds matter most for contributing to
overall wounding vulnerability is ``Infected BURNS > BURNS >
SLASH|PIERCE > BLUNT.``
### Wound Armor
Wound armor, unlike all other kinds of armor, was used as a additive
value to the wound roll modifiers rather than a multiplicative value.
We have reworked how wound armor is determined by changing how wound
modifiers are calculated.
Firstly, we're passing our entire injury roll into the
``check_woundings_mod()`` proc, as we're not treating this as a proc
that just adds values anymore.
Secondly, bare wound bonus only applies if there is no potential wound
protection from any source, as expected. But it comes last in the
calculations.
Thirdly, wound protection is applied to the injury roll last, after
wound bonuses from the attack, wound bonuses from other wounds and wound
bonuses from a disabled limb are applied. This does not include serial
wound bonuses, which are determined outside of this proc.
Wound protection comes from two sources. Clothing and limb wound
resistance. Your chest and head have an amount of wound resistance so
long as they are not mangled in any fashion. Being mangled means having
either a hairline fracture or a weeping avulsion wound.
Wound protection reduces the final injury roll by a percentage. Say our
roll is 50, and we have effectively 50% wound protection. The final roll
would be 25.
### ~~Wound Armor on Clothing~~ Reverted
~~Most clothing have had their wound armor values changed. As a loose
rule, I used the highest of melee or bomb armor, except where that value
was 100, in which case I used the lowest instead. I'm basing this
decision on how embeds are calculated, which is attack type agnostic.~~
~~Some armor have inconsistent values because they are alternative
armors to an existing armor type or are hyperspecialized armor.
Ablative, bulletproof and security vests all share a value of 35,
despite the former two not having decent melee or bomb armor.~~
~~Some clothing missing wound armor that should have had them now have
wound armor.~~
~~This may need a bit of scrutiny in case one or two seem weirdly high.
Some have maybe become too low. Its a bit hard to say.~~
### The ``bare_wound_bonus`` variable
I changed it to ``exposed_wound_bonus`` to better represent when it
applies. You can be naked and still not be affected by this bonus if the
limb has wound resistance.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm not promising anything with this PR, but this is an attempt to
sanity check the values on wounds so that we're not seeing what the data
that determined the removal of beheading presented. An extreme
over-representation of tier 3 wounds. ~~And, from that, maybe I can
argue for beheadings coming back. That's my goal. I think beheadings
happened so much because the numbers were in need of work.~~ Well okay I
just wanna make wounds a bit more workable actually more than I want
beheadings.
Why is it that tier 3 wounds were so over-represented? Because wounds
will often force more severe wounds of other types by merit of any
wounds existing at all on a limb. Having **_a_** wound makes you more
wound prone for any kind of wound, and not just making you more likely
to suffer a more severe type of the same wound.
The threshold mechanic was intended to simulate making a wound worse,
but oddly just made a limb broadly more prone to getting worse from any
kind of attack to such a degree that future wound rolls of different
types were often going to start at the threshold necessary to be a tier
3 wound.
Dismemberment, mind you, requires you to suffer a flesh wound while you
have a bone wound of tier 2 or higher (with tier 3 giving a bonus to
this). You can do this readily via just a sharp weapon, because having a
mangled limb causes the wound to turn into a bone wound. Technically,
this is meant to be less likely as the effective damage for this wound
is halved. But the wound bonus from having a flesh wound was almost
always significant enough to kick your new bone wound up to a tier 3.
In other words; its not surprising that you saw so many beheadings,
because the system wanted to behead you as fast as it possibly can
thanks to all these escalating values.
Wound armor was only applied as a flat reduction on the roll. The
average for wound armor was 10. After receiving a single wound, you can
expect wound rolls to reach upwards of 100, even if the actual damage
roll was not particularly high, due to wound stacking bonuses form being
wounded.
This meant that wounds, if they happened, came thick and fast after the
first, regardless of what your protection might be to wounds. It was
just a matter of getting past the initial bump.
This is why effects that forced wounds were so powerful. They basically
made a given limb more prone to taking a wound without having to deal
with the protection problem first.
Finally, this is just a broad flaw with the system that is not its
fault. It is actually a problem that isn't a problem. Most people in the
game are not wearing helmets that protect their head. So most people are
going to suffer from a higher proclivity of being wounded if people are
aiming for the head. There is this...kind of cargo cult belief that
aiming for the head means you do more damage, or can stun someone if
you're lucky or what have you. It's entirely nonsense, but it has a
grain of truth in that people rarely wear, or even have access too,
headwear that provides wound protection or any protection at all. People
have jumpsuits, which are universally wound protected, but that isn't
true of the head. Look, the point is, they're not aiming at the head
because it is usually less armored, its for other reasons but it just so
happens to become true due to wounds and how wounds roll their type.
To soften this issue, I've decided to treat wound resistance as armor
until the limb suffers a tier 3 wound. This way, hits to the head MAY
not necessarily escalate to tier 3 instantly as they would on live even
from relatively low power weapons. Some weapons have very low force, but
have extreme bare wound bonuses. This should be less likely after this
change. I doubt this will necessarily make high damage high wound
weapons like energy swords any less prone to cutting you clean open, but
it might thanks to the reduction to contributed damage to the injury
roll. The system is now _a bit more random_.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Wounds do not make you as vulnerable to suffering wounds of all
types as before. Instead, wounds make you more vulnerable to suffering
worse versions of themselves as a priority.
balance: Wound armor is now more impactful when protecting you from
wounds when you have already been wounded.
balance: Your head and chest are more difficult to wound until they have
been mangled; either from suffering from a weeping avulsion or a
hairline fracture.
code: Changed the variable for bare_wound_bonus to exposed_wound_bonus
to better explain what that variable is doing.

## About The Pull Request
As the title says.
`init_order` is no more, subsystems ordering now depends on their
declared dependencies.
Subsystems can now declare which other subsystems need to init before
them using a list and the subsystem's typepath
I.e.
```dm
dependencies = list(
/datum/controller/subsystem/atoms,
/datum/controller/subsystem/mapping
)
```
The reverse can also be done, if a subsystem must initialize after your
own:
```dm
dependents = list(
/datum/controller/subsystem/atoms
)
```
Cyclical dependencies are not allowed and will throw an error on
initialization if one is found.
There's also a debug tool to visualize the dependency graph, although
it's a bit basic:

Subsystem load ordering can still be controlled using `init_stage`, some
subsystems use this in cases where they must initialize first or last
regardless of dependencies. An error will be thrown if a subsystem has
an `init_stage` before one of their dependencies.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes dealing with subsystem dependencies easier, and reduces the chance
of making a dependency error when needing to shift around subsystem
inits.

## About The Pull Request
This PR should fix the problem of small previews in TGUI once and for
all (I hope).
What was causing it? Because TGUI takes a long time to open, that's why
previews were generated broken (small).
On Byond 515 this problem was not so noticeable as the interfaces opened
faster, but with the release of 516 it became much worse.
Previews were generated inside a window that was not yet open, so the
scale was broken, sometimes the window would open before the preview was
done and sent, usually with small interfaces, or when reopening.
I'm not very good at working with signals, and to tell the truth this is
my second experience with them, so I hope I did it right.

## About The Pull Request
So, some admin verbs/tools that used tguis, i.e edit/debug planes, were
available to admins with +DEBUG... but the ui_state used
`GLOB.admin_state`, which checks for +ADMIN - meaning that if they
_only_ had +DEBUG, they would have the verb... but it would do nothing
when they used it.
I've refactored `GLOB.admin_state`, `GLOB.debug_state`, and
`GLOB.fun_state` into a merged `/datum/ui_state/admin_state`, with a var
for which specific permissions are being checked for.
You now use the `ADMIN_STATE(perms)` macro to get the UI state for those
specific perms, i.e `admin_state(R_ADMIN)` or `admin_state(R_DEBUG)`,
and the resulting UI state will check for _those specific perms_.
These are initialized and cached in `GLOB.admin_states` (which should
never be directly accessed).
So, I've went thru every single usage of `GLOB.admin_state`,
`GLOB.fun_state`, and `GLOB.debug_state`, and made them all use
`ADMIN_STATE()` with the actual permission flags needed to use said UI
in the first place.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kinda dumb for specific admin permissions to be granted verbs that don't
let them use it anyways.

## About The Pull Request
This PR reimplements https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/71538
atop `master`. Quoting the original PR:
> Every `icon_exists()` call will cache the entire file. Past me didn't
realise _why_ file opts were so expensive, but I do now. This is
immeasurably slower on a single call, and _significantly_ faster on
subsequent calls to the same file.
I attempted to handle some of the review comments that were posted
there, by splitting screaming functionality into its own proc.
* `if(icon_state in icon_states(file))` and `if(!(icon_state in
icon_states(file)))` were refactored to use `icon_exists(file,
icon_state)`.
* Where screaming was seemingly wanted (and where there wasn't a more
descriptive error inside the `if` block), I refactored them to use
`icon_exists_or_scream(file, icon_state)`
* The exception to the above was under
`/datum/unit_test/turf_icons/Run()` and
`/datum/unit_test/worn_icons/Run()`, where `icon_states()` was being
passed a mode flag. Given that this is only used in unit tests (where
performance isn't a priority), I opted to leave these be.
Additionally, I revised the documentation comment for
`/proc/icon_exists()`, as I felt it was a bit vague currently.

## About The Pull Request
Currently to check for Silicon access, we do:
``if is silicon or is admin ghost or has unlimited silicon privileges or
has machine remote in hand``
What has unlimited silicon privileges? Bots, Drones, and admin ghosts.
To check for AI access, it just checks for AI instead of silicon, and
doesnt check for unlimited silicon privileges.
This was kinda silly, so I thought I should make this a little easier to
understand.
Now all silicon/ai traits come from ``AI_ACCESS_TRAIT`` or
``SILICON_ACCESS_TRAIT``. I made a single exception to keep Admin ghost,
since now instead of being a var on the client, we moved it to using the
same trait but giving it to the client instead, but since we have to
keep parity with previous functionality (admins can spawn in and not
have this on, it only works while as a ghost), I kept previous checks as
well.
No more type checks, removes a silly var on the mob level and another on
the client.
Now while I was doing this, I found a lot of tgui's ``ui_act`` still
uses ``usr`` and the wrong args, so I fixed those wherever I saw them,
and used a mass replace for the args.
Other changes:
- machinery's ``ui_act`` from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81250 had ``isAI`` replaced
with ``HAS_AI_ACCESS``, this has been reverted. Machine wands and admin
ghosts no longer get kicked off things not on cameras. This was my
fault, I overlooked this when adding Human AI.
- Human AI's wand gives AI control as long as it's in your hand, you can
swap to your offhand. I hope this doesn't end up going horribly,
otherwise I'll revert this part. It should let human AIs not have their
UI closed on them when swapping to eat food or use their door wand or
whatnot.
- Bots previously had special checks to scan reagents and be
unobservant, I replaced this with giving them the trait. I also fixed an
instance of unobservant not being used, so now statues don't affect the
basic creature, whatever that is.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is an easier to understand way of handling silicon access and makes
these mobs more consistent between eachother.
Other than what I've mentioned above, this should have no impact on
gameplay itself.

### Reftracking BS
Alllright so reftracking is slow, really really slow.
That's a problem for me, both because I want it to be fast so I can more
efficiently torture players by running it on live, but also because it
impedes both local and CI runs.
So I've set out to micro optimize the DoSearchVar proc, one of the
hottest in the game.
I've done this in a few different ways.
#### The simple shit
Removing redundant proc args
Yeeting assoc arg setting (extra cost)
Moving if statements around to prioritize the more common case
Ignoring empty lists.
#### The not simple shit
Throwing our snowflake list checking into the sun
(Background, byond has some special lists that cannot be accessed like
an assoc list, trying to will lead to runtimes)
The way we handle this involves inspecting their ref string, and it eats
a LOT of time.
Faster then to mark all the lists we know are special by var name, and
then use try/catch to detect and silence anything that sneaks through
(this is on the order of like 1/3 per run, kinda curious what they are
tbh)
Thanks to MSO for the idea for this btw.
Removes the vars and logic that tied ref searching to clients.
It's not how this code is used, and it slows everything else down for
really no reason
Added support for handing in a known "hanging reference" count, and then
searching for that.
This lets us early exit the ref search if we find everything we were
looking for, which is REALLY powerful, and why I asked for refcount() in
the first place.

## About The Pull Request
Does what it says on the tin. We don't have any "special" sources of
clone damage left in the game, most of them are rather trivial so I
bunched them together into this PR.
Notable things removed:
- Clonexadone, because its entire thing was centered around clone damage
- Decloner gun, it's also centered around cloning damage, I couldn't
think of a replacement mechanic and nobody uses it anyways
- Everything else already dealt clone damage as a side (rainbow knife
deals a random damage type for example), so these sources were removed
<!-- 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
Consider the four sources of normal damage that you can get: Brute,
Burn, Toxins and Oxygen. These four horsemen of the apocalypse are very
well put together and it's no surprise that they are in the game, as you
can fit any way of damaging a mob into them. Getting beaten to death by
a security officer? Brute damage. Running around on fire? Burn damage.
Poisoned or irradiated? Toxin damage. Suffocating in space? Brute, burn
and oxygen damage. Technically there's also stamina damage but that's
its own ballpark and it also makes sense why we have a damage number for
it.
Picture this now: We have this cool mechanic called "clone pods" where
you can magically revive dead people with absolute ease. We don't want
it to be for free though, it comes at a cost. This cost is clone damage,
and it serves to restrain people from abusing cloning.
Fast forward time a bit and cloning is now removed from the game. What
stays with us is a damage number that is intrinsically tied to the
context of a removed feature. It was a good idea that we had it for that
feature at the time, but now it just sits there. It's the odd one out
from all the other damage types. You can easily explain why your blade
dealt brute damage, but how are you going to fit clone damage into any
context without also becoming extremely specific?
My point is: **clone damage is conceptually a flawed mechanic because it
is too specific**. That is the major issue why no one uses it, and why
that makes it unworthy of being a damage stat.
Don't take my word for it though, because a while ago we only had a
handful of sources for this damage type in the game. And in most of the
rounds where you saw this damage, it came from only one department. It's
not worthwhile to keep it around as a damage number. People also didn't
know what to do with this damage type, so we currently have two ways of
healing clone damage: Cryotubes as a roundstart way of healing clone
damage and Rezadone, which instantly sets your clone damage to 0 on the
first tick. As a medical doctor, when was the last time you saw someone
come in with clone damage and thought to yourself, "Oh, this person has
clone damage, I cannot wait to heal them!" ?
Now we have replacements for these clone damage sources. Slimes? Slime
status effect that deals brute instead of clone. Cosmic heretics? Random
organ damage, because their mechanics are already pretty fleshed out.
Decloning virus? The virus operated as a "ticking timebomb" which used
cloning damage as the timer, so it has been reworked to not use clone
damage. What remains after all this is now a basically unused damage
type. Every specific situation that used clone damage is now relying on
another damage type. Now it's time to put clone damage to rest once and
for all.
Sure, you can technically add some form of cellular degradation in the
future, but it shouldn't be a damage number. The idea of your cells
being degraded is a cool concept, don't get me wrong, but make it a
status effect or maybe even a wound for that matter.

## About The Pull Request
LSP supports it, let's GOOOOOO
I've removed the 515 tests since they're stable, alongside the libcall
wrapper. left the rustgcall wrapper cause yaknow memes
Just removed all the 515 and 514 particular define wrappers. gaming
## Changelog
🆑

I forgot name could be a number for list indexes, so this switches to
using `in` instead.
Also improves the error message a little bit so reported issues can at
least say *something* about the value throwing an error.

## 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.
## About The Pull Request
* Makes special byond lists display properly
* Makes images get a preview in the header
* Makes filters display properly
* Make variable value display a bit more robust to errors
* Kills single char vars
## Changelog

admin: VV can now display the contents of special byond lists like
filters, or client.images
admin: VV on images now displays the image in the header
admin: VV can now display filters and includes their type

## 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
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
In addition, improves dump_harddel_deets usage to hopefully hit in unit
testing
byond_status() will dump as a part of find_references(). While I'd like
to expand that if we ever get a proper version, this is good for how we
have things setup rn.
## About The Pull Request
A pact made with `@Kapu1178`
Small changes you should not care about:
RD MODsuit outfit (admin only) no longer has a beret that blocks the
activation of the suit
The beret used by death squad officers no longer is blocked from being
put on a hat stabilizer module
Admins can now Shear matrices of objects in Modify Transform
Multitool buffers have been a little refactored to use a setter proc
that saves them from causing hard dels
Cooler stuff:
A revival and remake of [Nobody Wants To Learn Matrix
Math](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/59103), this time with
additional tooling for quick matrix calculations.

The MODLink system, available through every MODsuit and MODLink scryers
(a neck item obtainable from advanced modsuit research or
charliestation)
Let's you make a holographic call with any other MODLink user, where you
can chat in realtime and see what's up with em


## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a fun way for the crew to communicate with each other that can be
done in real-time with relative privacy compared to radio.

## About The Pull Request
So, I've been recently told that Skyrat uses the greyscale modify menu
for loadouts, and the new ui state kinda borked it. I honestly haven't
taken the possibility that the target could be anything but a subtype of
`/atom` (and still work) into account because much of the code assumes
the target is an atom. It's kinda crappy. Also I hadn't noticed we've an
`unlocked` variable, which makes `vv_mode` var superflous, so i'm going
to remove the latter.
## About The Pull Request
EDIT: So, I've to admit and bow my head: #77165 fucked up because I
hadn't properly tested the code. However, this time around, I can assure
you it's been tested.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixing my mistakes. This will fix#77246

## About The Pull Request
exactly what it reads on the tin. Also the ui is now anchored to the
target and uses their state unless a specific one is set, so that it'll
correctly close or be unusable if the mob user is incapacitated or too
far.
## Why It's Good For The Game
this will fix#70444.

## About The Pull Request
This takes render times from like 20 seconds to maybe 2 Most of the time
appears to be clientside rn, so the best we could do further would be
reducing the amount of shit that actually needs to render
So like, removing the E C M buttons (or at least adding a toggle to
render them), that sort of thing
## Why It's Good For The Game
A glob vv you can actually use

## About The Pull Request
Signals were initially only usable with component listeners, which while
no longer the case has lead to outdated documentation, names, and a
similar location in code.
This pr pulls the two apart. Partially because mso thinks we should, but
also because they really aren't directly linked anymore, and having them
in this midstate just confuses people.

Does the same to _clear_signal_refs() in hopes of keeping people from
touching it
## Why It's Good For The Game
They pissed me off.
Users should not be touching these lists, especially in ways that make
assumptions about their structure and are thus prone to breaking if that
ever changes.
Most of these are close to zero cost changes, using a wrapper to solve
the problem, or just yeeting it
Two aren't, Decals with a direction have gained a second signal register
on init, and things that sit underfloor (cables/pipes) now get a trait
when inserted there.
This should have a minimal impact on memory/init time, bugging
@Mothblocks about it just in case
