* new syndicate item - bee smoker (#78988)
## About The Pull Request
this adds a new item for traitor botanists they can buy for 4 tc. it
releases smoke which hypnotizes bees to follow ur every command, it can
be used on a single bee or it can be used on a hive to hypnotize all the
bees who live there. u can command the bees to enter or exit their
beehive, and u can also command them to spiral around u where they will
follow u and swirl around u to confuse whichever opponent u are
fighting, and u can also command them to attack people. the bee smoker
comes with some fuel but u can recharge it by putting cannabis into it.
the stronger the weed the more fuel it will provide

## Why It's Good For The Game
adds a traitor item which gives a new gameplay alternative for botanist
and pacifist players. also i noticed the pet targetting datum was using
some copy paste code so i made it a subtpye of the basic targetting
datum

* Synchronise AI and Player basic mob melee behaviours (#78337)
## About The Pull Request
I like for things that mobs do to be consistent regardless of whether
they are controlled by a player or by the AI.
One big offender of this is the melee behaviour cooldown. Basic mobs
piloted by AI have arbitrary melee attack cooldowns which are not
reflected when they are controlled by players who can generally attack
much faster (but in _two_ instances, slower).
To remedy this I added `melee_attack_cooldown` as a var on
`living/basic` (sinful) and the ai now uses NextMove to not click too
often, meaning that players can only bite things as often as the AI can
and also that if you VV the cooldown it can speed the AI up (or slow it
down) as well as a player.
This also gets rid of a lot of subtypes of that datum, as we mostly made
them to change the cooldown.
I also hunted down a few places where there was behaviour placed inside
an AI behaviour which wasn't easily replicable by a player piloting the
same mob, preferably a player should be able to do everything that the
AI can.
Fixing this was largely a simple case of moving code from
`ai_behaviour/melee_attack/perform` to `basic/mob_subtype/melee_attack`
and also adding an element for one thing shared by three different mobs.
Strictly speaking I didn't need the element that much because a player
is perfectly capable of clicking on something they attack to drag it,
but it's nice for it to be automatic?
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you see a mob do something then you should also be able to do it.
Mobs shouldn't have significantly different capabilities when controlled
by a player (aside from usually being smarter).
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Player-controlled basic mobs attack as fast as those mobs can
when controlled by the AI
balance: Player-controlled Faithless can paralyse people they attack,
like the AI does
balance: Player-controlled Star Gazers (if an admin felt like making
one) apply the star mark on attack and deal damage to everything around
them, like the AI does

* minebots basic bots (#78032)
## About The Pull Request
Transforms the minebots into basic robots. You can now command these
minebots to extract minerals for you. To activate automated mining mode,
simply instruct them with the command "mine." They will then proceed to
autonomously mine walls and gather ores. If you wish to make the bot
deposit all the collected ores, use the command "drop." Alternatively,
you can leave it in collection mode, and it will gather all the ores you
mine. Additionally, the bot now responds to several more commands; you
can instruct it to follow you, toggle its lights on or off by saying
"lights." In attack mode, it refrains from mining or collecting ores but
will engage in combat alongside you. If it detects you as deceased or
unconscious, it will alert all miners, request assistance, and relay
your coordinates via the mining communication channel. to power it on u
will need to feed it any type of ore first so it may listen to ur
commands
## Why It's Good For The Game
makes the non sapiant minebots more useful
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: the minebots have been refactored please report any bugs
add: minebots can now mine walls and collect ores automatically and they
will alert everyone if they find u dead

* Experiment with replacing weakrefs in AI blackboard with deleting signals, ideally making it easier to work with and harder to cause hard deletes (#74791)
## About The Pull Request
Replaces weakref usage in AI blackboards with deleting signals
All blackboard var setting must go through setters rather than directly
## Why It's Good For The Game
This both makes it a ton easier to develop AI for, and also makes it
harder for hard deletes to sneak in, as has been seen with recent 515
prs showing hard deletes in AI blackboards
(To quantify "making it easier to develop AI", I found multiple bugs in
existing AI code due to the usage of weakrefs.)
I'm looking for `@ Jacquerel` `@ tralezab` 's opinions on the matter, also
maybe `@ LemonInTheDark` if they're interested

* Pet Command Component + Regal Rats can order their subjects around (#71590)
## About The Pull Request
Another atomisation of #71421 but I had a fun idea while I was testing
it.
This adds a component based on the existing system for giving
instructions to tamed carp or dogs, but hopefully more modular.
It also gives it to the rat minions of a regal rat.
The basic function allows the mob to listen and react to spoken
commands, which passes things to its AI blackboard. Additionally if you
alt-click a commandable mob it will show a radial menu which both allows
you to select a command, and also contains tooltips explaining what they
do and what audible words trigger it.

</details>
Now if you riot some rats, you can alt click on them individually to
give them specific orders (more useful for other creatures than rats),
or you can speak out loud to command your legion.
Rats aren't very smart so you can't give them many instructions, but
this is expandable for other creatures.
Additional change: Mice don't squeak if stepped on by other mice because
this made an absolutely unholy noise and I am not sure there's a way to
get non-dense mobs to spread out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Allows for giving more mobs the ability to be tamed and instructable by
their owner, without copy/pasting code which lives inside a specific
mob.
Yelling at your rats to give them commands is funny. It also adds the
possibility of telling your rats to stop biting someone if they have
agreed to your demands, allowing for more courtly roleplay.
When Regal Rat is converted to a basic mob its AI can also give other
AIs instructions by yelling at them which I think is a good feature.
## Changelog
🆑
add: The followers of Regal Rats will now respond to simple
instructions, if given by their rightful lord. Except frogs. They're too
busy licking themselves and watching the colours.
