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.

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
🆑 bobbahbrown
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.

VV-related code cleanup
Added code to trigger the proper setters for several variables that have them.
Added some admin logging for var-edit teleports.
Cleaned-up some code all around.
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

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.
There are a number of methods of assuming direct control of mobs or giving other players direct control. I have made sure these now appropriately update verbs.
Shamelessly ripped the functionality from /mob/dead/observer/verb/reenter_corpse() - It seemed to do what I wanted to accomplish in the same context.
I couldn't find any other method to refresh the verbs tab.

Admin tickets were having "the" prepended to them when displayed in the status tab, because ahelps are treated as datums and BYOND likes to help out and treat them as nouns when printed. This resolves that.

This PR changes the message pipeline a little bit to support list-based messages, which can be annotated with custom data. Function signature of to_chat was slightly changed as well:
// Plain text message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
text = "foo")
// HTML message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
html = "<span class='notice'>foo</span>")
Old to_chat format is still supported, but handle_whitespace, trailing_newline and confidential flags have no effect. confidential flag could still be revived though, if there is enough merit in it, for example to filter out confidential messages when saving a chat log.
The reason for using /list and not /datum, is because lists are plain faster, and there are minimal data transformations - these lists are fed directly to json_encode and sent to tgchat.
Plain text messages do not need to be HTML-escaped, which makes them safer and more performant than HTML messages. Plain text messages can be made interactive (or formatted with CSS) by custom-handling them in javscript based on message type and annotations.
It would be impossible to annotate every single message in the game (at the moment of writing, there are 9447 to_chat calls in the code), but it could be done selectively, for only those messages that are hard to classify by span classes (and there are still A LOT of them).
Please annotate more messages. Thank you.

Replaces goonchat with a tgui based chat panel
Fixes#52898Fixes#52663
It is as fast as goonchat was (if not faster in certain circumstances), and is very extensible. It has all the necessary code for sorting messages into categories, which means that one of the next features will be multiple tab support.
Additional features that you will get with tgchat right now:
Massively faster server-side performance compared to goonchat, especially if batching multiple messages to one client.
Message persistence across rounds and reconnects. (All messages are stored client-side in IndexedDB)
More robust scroll tracking. If you scroll up, it will not change the scroll position on new messages like goonchat did.
Multiple message combining. (Currently set to combine up to 5 messages over last 5 seconds).
If using the highlighting feature, it highlights the whole message as well as the matching word.
"Now playing" widget, with preview of the song title, a knob for adjusting the volume and a stop button.
Architecture is as following:
```
to_chat() -+
|
SSchat
(queue, batching)
|
window.send_message()
|
v
+-------------+
| tgui-panel |
|+-----------+|
|| tgchat ||
|+-----------+|
+-------------+
```
Subsystem is basically goonchat, but without all the garbage that slows the servers down (string concatenation, double urlencoding, sanitizing, etc). Now, instead of all that, it's being slowed down by json_encode in /datum/tgui_window/proc/send_message, which IMO is completely worth it, and allows sending various templates and widgets to tgchat.
/datum/tgui_window abstracts the whole window away from you, establishes a nice message-passing interface between DM and JS, with two message queues on each side, automatically loads js/css assets for you, basically does everything. You as a developer only have to worry about sending/receiving messages and write javascript.
tgui-panel is a slimmed down version of tgui, and functions as a container for various widgets, and tgchat is one of them. It of course can be expanded with more stuff.
It's also a separate entry point and a JS bundle, so it's not bloating the main tgui bundle, and is currently sitting at about 230kB.
Rewrites the asset_cache system to handle sending assets to a CDN via a webroot.
see https://github.com/MrStonedOne/tgstation/blob/asset-cdn/code/modules/asset_cache/readme.md
Fixed a lot of bugs with assets, removed some dead code.
Changes:
Moved asset cache code to transport datums, the currently loaded one is located at SSassets.transport, asset cache calls made before the config is loaded use the simple browse_rsc transport.
Added subsystem call for when the config loads or reloads.
Added a webroot CDN asset transport. assets are saved to a file in a format based on the file's hash (currently md5).
Assets that don't use get_asset_url or get_url_mappings (such as browser assets referred to by static html files like changelog.html or static css files) can be saved to browse_rsc even when in cdn asset mode by setting legacy to TRUE on the datum returned by register_assets
Added a system for saving assets on a cdn in a hash based namespace (folder), assets within the same namespace will always be able to refer to each other by relative names. (used to allow cdn'ing font awesome without having to make something that regenerates it's css files.).
The simple/namespaced asset cache datum helper will handle generating a namespace composed of the combined md5 of everything in the same datum, as well as registering them properly.
Moved external resource from a snowflake loaded file to a config entry, added it to resources.txt
To ensure the system breaks in local testing in any situation that wouldn't work in cdn mode, the simple transport will mutate the filenames of non-legacy and non-namespaced assets and return this with get_asset_url.
Simple transport's passive send of all roundstart assets to all clients is now a config that defaults to off. this is to break race conditions during local testings from devs accidentally relying on this instead of using send() properly.
cl
refactor: Interface assets (js/css/images) can now be managed using an external webserver instead of byond's one at a time file transfer queue.
admin: Adds admin verb toggle-cdn that allows admins to disable the external webserver asset transport and revert to the old system. Useful if the webserver backing this goes down (thanks cloudflare).
config: New config file, resources.txt, (must be loaded by an $include statement from the main config)
server: The external_rsc_urls.txt config has been moved to the main config system.
/cl
Porting notes:
Interface webpages must refer to their assets (css/js/image/etc) by a generated url, or the asset must register itself as a legacy asset. The system is designed to break in localtest (on simple/legacy mode) in most situations that would break in cdn mode.
Requires latest tgui.
The webserver must set the proper CORS headers for font files or font awesome (and other fonts) won't load.
