## About The Pull Request
This PR adds in a new app that scans the nearby area for "spookiness"
(e.g. presence of ghosts, mobs with the spirit biotype, objects made
with hauntium or containing hauntium). A bit clunky by all means. It's a
maintenance app, and as such is more often found in the rare maintenance
computer disks, or downloadable from emagged PDAs (IIRC), or perhaps the
black market item which I've also added here as well, that might contain
it amongst other things.
Oh, if you also have the camera app, it'll let you take pictures of
ghosts like the 'camera obscura' does.
Oh, and there's also a maintenance version of the arcade program too;
just , like, lazier and easier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mostly a shower thought, 'cause I felt the idea maintenance disks to be
quite interesting yet lackluster, almost too niche. As for the remote
thought of using the app for validhunting, it isn't something you can
reliably get every and every other round, and if someone's got enough
ghosts circling them, chances are they're some big, loud antag or doing
something so cheeky, that they kinda deserve it.
Also, yeah, more black market stuff. Except for the misc section, it's
pretty lacking in uniqueness.

## Changelog
🆑
add: The Spectre-Meter modular computer app. A little, amatuerishly
coded app that, as the name implies, scan an area for spectral presence.
It can be found amongst other apps in maintenance computer disks.
add: An easier, lazier version of the Arcade app, also found in
maintenance.
add: Black market computer disks, which contains programs not readily
available to the average assistant.

## About The Pull Request
adds a station trait which adds a new role, the bridge assistant
he is designed to help commandeer the bridge and help out other heads
when needed. he is armed with the mini energy gun (the one heads used to
have on kilostation), a flash, a toolbelt (with an inducer), some cool
shades and a swanky scarf.
as he is a nerd he is weak and unable to twohand weapons, preventing him
from wielding the fire axe.
currently he does not have a mindshield but he cannot roll antag
he currently has access to the bridge, announcement console, eva,
teleporter, gateway, maint, and a weapon permit (somewhat (not really
other than for nerds) interestingly this is the first job that isnt
assistant that doesnt have access to any lathes, so he doesnt have orm
access unlike all the other jobs (except assistant))
the trait also makes a coffee machine spawn on the bridge
here is some useful art of your role
and ingame screenshots
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds upon the station trait job system with a straight forward role that
IS just a human (unlike the cargorilla), and is pretty basic with no
custom assets or whatever other than hud icons
Having the bridge assistant in some rounds seems like a neat way to
protect it since it gets fucked up in like half the time, while also not
having enough mechanical depth or gameplay as to warrant it as a
permanent role
## Changelog
🆑
add: Bridge Assistant job accessible from a station trait.

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## About The Pull Request
Implements half of this (with some minor changes):
The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two:
- One for non-combat item interactions
- Health analyzer scanning
- using tools on stuff
- surgery
- Niche other interactions
- One for combat attacking
- Item hit thing, item deal damage.
- Special effects on attack would go here.
This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact.
Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain,
before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain.
This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack
part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than
`TRUE` / `FALSE`*.
*Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is
unclear to people.
Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I
started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in
the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of
cases.

I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and
had no new information to give that autodoc couldn't. Just to make sure
this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.

## About The Pull Request
I made this to help me move more towards my goals [laid out
here](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA) which currently doesn't
have much interest.
This makes the Destructive Analyzer use a little neat TGUI menu instead
of its old HTML one. I also touch a lot of science stuff and a little
experimentor stuff, so let me explain a bit:
Old iterations of Science had different items that you can use to boost
nodes through deconstruction. This has been removed, and its only
feature is the auto-unlocking of nodes (that is; making them visible to
the R&D console). I thought that instead of keeping this deprecated code
around, I would rework it a little to make it clear what we actually use
it for (unhiding nodes).
All vars and procs that mentioned this have been renamed or reworked to
make more sense now.
Experimentor stuff shares a lot with the destructive analyzer, so I had
to mess with that a bit to keep its decayed corpse of deprecated code,
functional.
I also added context tips to the destructive analyzer, and added the
ability to AltClick to remove the inserted item. Removing items now also
plays a little sound because it was kinda lame.
Also, balloon alerts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves a shitty machine to TGUI so it is slightly less shitty, now it's
more direct and compact with more player-feedback.

### Video demonstration
I show off connecting the machine to R&D Servers, but I haven't changed
the behavior of that and the roundstart analyzers are connected to
servers by default.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia should now start without the need of admin intervention.
I made a unit test that should always have a PDA and a ghost spawning in
a game of Mafia and having it run through basic setup to confirm they
both successfully sign up and the game starts.
I had to change a lot of things in order to get this working, such as
giving unique ckeys to mock clients, fixing harddels in Mafia, and
plenty of minor fixes. This is the first time any of this code is put in
CI, so a lot of uncaught errors are now showing their faces.
Because loading maps mid-round runtimes due to smoothing, I have mafia
their own unit test-only map that doesn't use smoothing.
I also split the mafia ui code into its own file, and moved a single
helper that was sitting around in mafia's file into a helpers file.
I also added some comments to explain why certain things are the way
they are, because I wrote some undocumented code previously and forgot a
few things, leading to self-inflicted wasted time.

## About The Pull Request
Improves penlight sprite and code.
A new type of pen has been introduced - the Security Pen. This pen is
red and can create a holograph around a person, similar to a medical
penlight. The holograph prompts the person to surrender for 30 seconds,
and the holograph itself is visible for 5. There is a 30-second cooldown
between usage.
Holosign itself does nothing except be visual, just like medical
holosign **(DO NOT MISTAKE HOLOSIGNS FOR HOLOBARRIERS)**
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/1ee5f794-7218-4e52-b04f-3ebb50bd224a
Now every Security member spawns with a Security Pen in their PDA.
Now you can print Security Pens at Security Techfab, and Penlights at
Medical Techfab.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The only way to prompt someone to perform the surrender emote is by
holding them up with a gun. However, this mechanic can be quite
unreliable, even after updates, especially if the person is moving. As a
result, many players are unaware of how to prompt the surrender emote or
even about its existence, so they don't know they can trigger it
themselves by typing "*surrender".
This enables non-lethal arrests without stun batons or other tools.
Sprites are a significant improvement as the previous penlight sprites
were outdated.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: There is now a more convenient way to prompt surrender to emote -
the Security Pen. Each officer is equipped with one in their PDA. Simply
click someone with it to prompt a 30-second surrender. They are
printable at Security Techfab as well.
qol: Penlights now are printable at Medical Techfab.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#68825Fixes#72249Fixes#70184
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.

and/or thrown on the floor.
fix: Drones can now perform right-click interactions correctly, such as
deconstructing reinforced windows.
fix: Drones can now reboot or cannibalize other drones without being in
combat mode.

## 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
Mafia is now friggin playable from the PDA, I also changed other stuff
too
- You can't use abilities on dead people if you're not supposed to (cant
kill the same person over and over)
- Changelings cant kill other Changelings
- Changelings can now only talk to eachother at night, rather than using
:j
- Everyone starts spawned in the center of the map, since people playing
on PDA can't move their characters. This is so everyone can hear PDA
users in person, as I don't want the chat log to be mandatory.
To do this, all messages you are meant to be able to see, is now logged
for you to see in your Mafia panel. This essentially means that people
playing through the PDA get a downgraded version of it, but I don't know
how much larger I want this UI to be.
Playing Mafia through the PDA will not tell you of other players ahead
of time when signing up (as it shows ckeys + pdas), but they can see the
names in-game. Unfortunately this means we'll have to remove your
customization coming with you, to prevent using it to tell who is dead
in round.
Things I am missing
- Program overlays on PDA/Laptop/Computer
- Icon for the app's header while a game is active
I'm not a spriter and can't make either of these
This is the new UI
I also fixed alert calls for PDAs and stuff
and removed the X at the top on computers since they had no battery
Looks a little better now hopefully 👍
## Why It's Good For The Game
- The current Arcade app sucks, and is a solo game. This is much more
entertaining and you can talk to others in it, which is swag as fuck.

## About The Pull Request
I would like camera sorting to be handled without having to constantly
get the entire list of cameras and sorting itself, but this occasion it
isn't even necessary, and was only added because I wanted to keep it
consistent with old behavior. This wasn't the best idea, and this is
trying to make amends with that.
Instead of getting the entire list of cameras when swapping cameras, it
instead gets that specific camera from the list and sets your active
camera to that. To do so, camera consoles now have a ref to the camera,
rather than going by name alone.

/🆑
## About The Pull Request
So one aspect of PDAs that I quite liked previously was managing and
upgrading your power.
This was lost when all cell parts got removed, mostly, and now I'd like
to re-add it.
PDAs and Tablets now use more power each second it's on
Programs being active/idle now take charge too.
And all this now takes ``seconds_per_tick`` into account.
Screenshots of APC use before and after having 6 programs open at once
PDA default power cells have a max charge of 1000, each cell use is
around ``1.00970340315`` power, which is ``1.01013789399`` w/ 2 programs
in idle and 1 active program (which is what PDAs are capable of). This
means it takes about 990 ticks to fully drain your power, or about 50
minutes, at max use.
This is completely blasted away the moment you put anything beyond a t1
cell inside of it, which is unfortunate but what can you do about tiered
parts being so poor.
The problem of no public PDA chargers are alleviated by
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78600
### Update
The PDA flashlight being on now also drains the battery 25% times
faster. PDA running out of charge now also turns the flashlight off.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You may or may not have to actually charge your PDA once in a round now,
maybe. I liked this part of tablets and would like to see it brought
back, managing your power to use your apps is important to ensure you're
not just using all apps 24/7
Because this also adds the functionality to add/remove power cells
again, it opens up to some minor little pranks/messing with people that
isn't completely destroying their tools, as well as some minor
upgradeability.

extends flashlight disabling to modular computers incl. PDAs because
somehow i forgot that they had flashlights.
## Why It's Good For The Game
my code sucks and i should make it suck less, actually
## Changelog
i don't think i get to put a code improvement tag if it's not
playerfacing and it's my own fault
🆑
fix: Flares and candles no longer sound like flashlights when being
turned on.
fix: Getting shot by an SC/FISHER now disables PDA lights for
consistency's sake.

## Why It's Good For The Game
This should help new players and not learn and memorize these five
simple terms often used in station area names.

## About The Pull Request
No longer must you stand up when sending messages over the PDA! Do it
all comfortably, laying down in your bed!
Computers are automatically inaccessible when resting, so this only
affects PDA's, TABLETS, and LAPTOPS
## Why It's Good For The Game
Why wouldn't I be able to use a PDA laying down, heck everyone uses
their phone laying on their back, using your PDA like that only makes
sense
## Changelog
🆑
fix: The messenger app can now be used when laying down.

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things and I expect to be asked to atomize some stuff.
### Oldstation Additions
Oldstation now has their own research server, generating their own
points. To help alleviate major concerns, they have a few stuff to help
with this:
- They now have a pre-built operating computer
- They now have an Autopsy scanner
- They now have access to Experimental Dissection
Experimental Dissection is the old dissection, giving research points in
the form of paper notes on completion. They must be turned in to the RND
server (only works on the Oldstation one, so you can't abuse this) for
points. This was an idea I've had for some time, as Oldstation is used
somewhat as a representation of how ss13 used to be (through its use of
directional windows (before they got removed, but I'd like to bring them
back), old IDs, RTGs, and old engines before they got removed from the
game fully)
Considering there are 11 alien mobs in Oldstation, there is 27.5k
research points to get from alien corpses, enough to bring them up to
speed with whatever they wish to do. This is their 'alternative' for
experiments (which they can still do if they want, but it is very hard
to do, outside of dissection which is needed for the node).
This surgery isn't repeatable, isn't upgradable, and isn't removed by
being healed. It is not mutually exclusive with autopsy (so you can't
ruin yourself doing the wrong surgery).
### Other stuff
- Ninjas now drain RND points from the server they drain from, rather
than always hitting science
- Syncing machines to research roundstart is now a macro, and now
immediately syncs to a server on your Z-level. Machines will
automatically connect to the Science servers if none else are available.
### non-player facing
- Science, Admin, and Oldstation techwebs are now no longer vars on
research, but stored in research's list of techwebs.
- ``get_available_servers`` and ``find_valid_servers`` are now procs on
the research subsystem, rather than the experisci component.
- Oldstation code has been split into separate files.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Oldstation is one of my favorite ruins, but it is also one of the
largest complaints for RND (along with Golems) because they use the
station's Science nodes & points (I recently tried de-hardcoding Science
stuff to help prepare for this, but I didn't get everything in advance).
The complaint stems from these ghost roles, who are meant to be a fun
activity to do while waiting for the next round, using the station's
research points for their own stuff, completely untrackable unless
someone goes out of their way to grief a ghost spawn just for using
points to get things they need. These roles make their own servers to
drain the station, and I find that unfun and quite boring for everyone-
it's also not very flavorful, why would Charliestation know of the
station's RND to take advantage of it?
This hopes to fix those issues, make Charliestation more worthwhile, and
more flavorful.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Getting a node researched now properly makes it no longer hidden.
fix: Ninjas draining RD servers now drains it from the connected
techweb, rather than sniping Science.
balance: Machines will first try to connect to a techweb with servers on
their z-level, with the Science techweb remaining as fallback.
add: Oldstation RND, comes with their own Techweb and special surgery to
gain research points through dissecting Xenomorphs.

## About The Pull Request
This PR lets pAIs inserted into a PDA to control the PDA of their owner.
They can see their own pAI configurations but cannot edit any of it.
They also can't eject themselves from it.
This means they can receive and send PDA messages as their owner, acting
like a personal secretary
This also adds support for multiple people using a PDA and its UI
updating for all of them and PDA messages being received and responded
to from multiple people under the same PDA
It also removes pAI camera in favor of using siliconcamera, which is the
same thing; this just cuts down on some copy paste.
I also reverted PDA's ringer being off preventing messages from being
sent to your chat, silent mode was meant to prevent only the ringing
sound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
pAIs can now do a little bit more to help their owners on a personal
level, and adds support for more stuff like this in the future (an idea
I had was being able to hack into PDAs in the same way the CE can hack
into APCs remotely)
This is a re-PR of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76445 but
it's a little better this time and does not remove the PDA Messenger app
from pAIs.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: PDAs being on silent no longer prevents PDAs from being sent to
your chat, again.
add: pAIs inserted into a PDA can now control the PDA, and will receive
PDA messages sent to it (and can respond under the PDA's name).

## About The Pull Request
**Simplified version of #72179**
### SOUNDS
Changes next sound files:
- airraid.ogg
- bloblarm.ogg
- alert.ogg
Adds next sound files:
- notice3.ogg
- announce_syndi.ogg
Now `announce.ogg` plays when a Captain joins round, and
`announce_dig.ogg` for Requests Console announcements.
The `announce_syndi.ogg` plays when an announcement is made through an
emagged communications console. It also plays when the evacuation
shuttle is fully hijacked or Cultists fully corrupt the evacuation
shuttle.
You can listen to them all here:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/10c5e597-6db7-464a-b693-f5a2672dc3d0
_All of the sound files are either made by me from existing sounds in
the game or taken from freesound.org and properly credited._
### STATUS DISPLAYS
Status displays are fully replaced with the addition of a few new ones.
<details>
<summary>Status display monitor</summary>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Misc displays</summary>
</details>
<details>
<summary>Alert displays</summary>
</details>
Now the communications console Status Display menu replaced the "Red
Alert" display option with the "Current Alert" which showcases the
current alert display.
Also, the Status Display menu has an additional "Radiation" display
option.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe this Pull Request is a good game for a couple of reasons:
1. It better conveys the gravity of emergency situations, such as Code
Red, by utilizing a more intimidating and recognizable sound. This gives
more weight to these situations, making them feel more urgent and
important in the game. Players always tend to not notice that it's in
action.
2. The replacement of the old and outdated Status Display sprites with
newer, more eye-catching ones is a great improvement. This helps to
emphasize the importance of emergency situations even further by making
them more noticeable. Status Displays was one of the last wall-mounts
using ancient sprites.
3. The Captain's arrival using another sound effect from other
announcements gives more status to the Captain as the ultimate head of
the station.
4. Heads announcement using `announce_dig.ogg` makes the sound itself
more used outside of SM cascade, and also makes Head announcements more
noticeable.
5. Emagged console using `announce_syndi.ogg` making Traitor
announcements more noticeable. Also, it is played after evac shuttle is
fully hijacked or corrupted by Cultists giving a more ominous effect
## Changelog
🆑
sound: Adds/modifies next sound files: airraid.ogg, bloblarm.ogg,
alert.ogg, notice3.ogg, announce_syndi.ogg
sound: Code Red, Delta, and other extreme emergencies now possess more
unique alarm sound effect

fully corrupting evacuation shuttle now plays more ominous sound
sound: Making announcements through Requests Console now plays a more
noticeable sound
image: Status Displays sprites have been fully changed. Now they include
displays for every Security Level
qol: The "Red Alert" button in the Communications console status display
menu has been replaced with a "Current Alert" button showing the current
station Security Level display on Status Displays
qol: Communications console status display menu got a new "Radiation"
button which shows radiation symbol on Status Displays

## About The Pull Request
Read title, not having these checks can knock out the messenger for
everyone for the entire round
## Why It's Good For The Game
I didn't think about hard deletes in my original NT Messenger PR, and as
far as I know this hasn't happened on this codebase yet.
However this PR doesn't only help downstreams that struggle with hard
deletes, it also implements some pretty critical guards as not having a
messenger for an entire round is pretty bad and sometimes hard deletes
are very hard to track and fix, so it could potentially break the
messenger for a lot of rounds.
## About The Pull Request

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/1536ebb9-0c4f-45bb-b593-f98791ea6d23
## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: The Traitor's Camera bug is now a tablet app that works like a
silent camera console with an extra ability to track people through
their nearby cameras.
/🆑
Current implementation uses isobserver for checking if we should send to
the player but dead players (who are still in their body) are not
observers and will fail that check.
## About The Pull Request
Completely reworks how AI tracking is handled, this has no in-game
effects.
This moves nearly all AI tracking handling onto ``/datum/tracking``,
which previously was pretty bad. I tried documenting as much as I can,
making comments actually useful and give accurate information.
Turns ``get_camera_list`` into a global proc, which we now use for
camera consoles (including the app), cutting down on copy paste in 2
areas and standardizing its behavior/backend.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to generalize this behavior so I can use it for tracking
players in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77713 - This
helps me do that.
Also the current state of AI tracking code is pretty poor and hopefully
this improves that area.
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/42355
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: AI's player-tracking eyes received an unwanted obligatory
update, and should now not tell you that a player is untrackable when
they clearly obviously can be.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a bunch of sanity checking to the `prefs.chat_toggles` var
accesses.
Prefs can be null when client is creating/deleting and this causes a
runtime where you might not be able to use emotes.
EDIT: as per suggestion I stopped masking the issue and added stack
traces instead. And made them into helper procs to avoid code
duplication.
For some of these procs it is important that we are able to continue
running to get to the end. **A ghost having null prefs should not stop
everyone else from hearing/seeing the emote.**
So now they will put the stack trace and keep on trucking if that issue
occurs. This is the main 'point' of the PR, which has seemingly gotten
bogged down in the creation of the two helper procs--apologies.
See https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70404 for essentially
the same issue but applied to chat messages. I have gone back and
replaced the duplicated code from that to use the new helper procs
instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Anything chat related is a bad place to runtime. Some messages can take
a while to type out and to have it not display is frustrating at worst,
possibly detrimental if you have to communicate something urgently.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: fixes a bug that can cause emotes to stop working if a client is
being created or deleted

It was in all bold, now it no longer is. It also was only being

## About The Pull Request
Alternative to / closes#77069
Their PR reminded me I wanted to de-hardcode this list at some point and
make it rely on a flag set on the jobs. So this pr does that.
I also made a combination flag of the flags copied across all station
jobs. Makes it easier to see at a glance which jobs have a unique flag
set and which are just copied across everything.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more maintainable for future us / downstreams to add new jobs
which may potentially be in this blacklist.
