## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things, I'll try to explain the basic/background stuff
to the main thing first:
1. Adds a new remote that allows a human to function like an AI. It
controls a fly that will fly around the station slowly, and when it
reaches a machine then the person can interact with it as if they were
an AI. This required changing a lot of silicon/AI checks with one that
also checks for this remote, and some messing with shared ui state.
2. Moves req_access from the obj and bot to ``/atom/movable`` which lets
it be shared between the two, no more copy-paste and one side lacking
features/checks/signals the other has.
3. Adds a check for AI config for AI-related station traits, which was
lacking prior
Now for the good part...
Adds a new station trait that replaces the AI with a Human.
This person is equipped with an AI headset (including Binary), an
advanced camera console, an omni door wand, the machine controller, and
their laws.
They are immune to the SAT's turrets (even if set to target borgs) and
are slow outside of the SAT, mimicing the actions of the AI.
They interact with the world through their advanced camera console,
which allows them to do most AI stuff needed, and the holopad they can
connect to without having to ring first (like Command can).
They are given a paper with the laws they must follow, but since they
are human they are able to bend it. Cyborgs that run the default lawset
are "slaved" to them via an unremovable law 0, so the Human AI can bend
the laws if they really need to (for their own survival n such), and
make the cyborgs obey their commands above laws, but in general this
shouldn't be a frequent occurrence. This does take into account the
unique AI trait, so it's not guaranteed Asimov.
When this station trait rolls, all Intellicards, AI uploads, and AI core
boards are destroyed and are unresearchable. They can be spawned by
admins in-game if necessary. Maybe in the future we can also exclude
Oldstation from this but I haven't really decided.
Extra perks:
Human AI spawns with a Robotic voicebox (unless they are a body purist)
and teleport blocking implant, so they can't use teleporters to bypass
their on-station slowdown.
They also have an infinite laser pointer that can be used to blind
through their camera console. This is unfortunately nerfed from the
recent borg balance PR that removed its stun. This was meant to be the
alternative to no longer being able to permanently lock borgs down like
AIs can (or more than one, for that matter).
They aren't affected by Roburgers, Acid, and Fuel's toxicity.
Bots salute them like they do Beepsky (which is now a trait)
They spawn with SyndEye to replace the AI's tracking ability
They do not have a bank account
### The machine remote
The machine remote has a little fly in it that flies to the machines it
is pointed to, working as the arms and legs of the Human AI. It scans
the machine and punches in the action the AI does, and is how the AI
accesses basically anything. This fly slowly moves from one machine to
the next, and can be recalled with Alt Click.
It works on machines and bots.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a funny screenshot one day of a person replacing the AI by
using a bunch of door remotes, camera console, crew monitoring console,
and a few other things. I've been thinking about that for a few years
and really wanted to make it official if not easier to make possible,
because it is an incredibly funny interaction.
This makes it a reality, and while they aren't as powerful as regular
AIs, I think it makes for better and funnier in-game moments. With the
same weight as Cargorilla (1), I hope this wouldn't be rolling too often
and ruin rounds, but instead show off the different capabilities that
Humans and AIs can do, to do the job of an AI. You win some you lose
some.

## About The Pull Request
While on the floor, you can:
- Use the UIs of Atmos machinery (except thermomachine and bluespace gas
vendor), Holopads, Crayons (spray cans too), radios, and Disposal bins
- Close extinguisher cabinets with Right-Click
- Click and drag yourself onto a photocopier to climb onto it.
I also changed all instances of ``ui_status`` to have all the args it's
being passed, I was messing with it a bit but it's gonna be for a later
PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's an extra layer of harmless realism, also nice QoL for people who do
not have functional legs and do not have a wheelchair.

## About The Pull Request
`can_use_topic` returns a UI define like `UI_INTERACTIVE`, not `TRUE` /
`FALSE`
This line is intended to allow greyscale menus to be used when targeting
non-atoms, however it prevents that entirely. #77322
## Changelog
Not necessary since _we_ don't have any GAGS menu usage that targets a
datum... currently.
## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.

## 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
🆑
refactor: Maintenance Drones now use the basic mob framework. This
shouldn't come with any noticeable gameplay changes, but please report
any bugs.
fix: Drones can now interact normally with electrified doors.
fix: Drones' built-in tools can no longer be placed in storage objects
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
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
## Changelog
N/A.
Listing the changes, off the top of my head:
- Resprited fishing rods, hooks, and the worm bait!
- Added a new, telescopic fishing rod, that can be bought as a goodie.
The master rod is also telescopic now.
- Added a couple hooks. One that lets you move the bait up and down,
otherwise keeping it in place, and another that stops the fish from
escaping, but slowly kills it. The former from the bepis fishing tech
node, the latter frm the black market.
- Added a fishing skill and relative legendary reward: A fishing hat,
like the one that recites "women fear me, fish fear me"
- You can now stop fishing by activating the fishing rod in your hand,
and stops it from stealing all clicks on other things if it isn't in
your active hand.
- Reworked fishing traits into fish traits, which can apply to fish
after it has been caught.
- Expanded the fish breeding system. Traits may be passed down to
offsprings, and offsprings may evolve (mutate?) into different kind of
fishes if conditions when conditions are met.
- Added half a dozen new fishes, each with its own traits: lubefish,
sludgefish (and its purple variant), slimefish, unmarine bonemass and
unmarine mastodon. Also, holodeck fish, as a joke.
- New traits: lubed skin, parthenogenesis, toxic (new reagent), toxin
immunity, predator, necrophage, no mating, crossbreeder, aggressive and
revival. Converted Emulsijack's ability and Donkfish's yuckiness into
traits as well.
- Added a fish analyzer that you can scan aquariums and fishes with.
- Fish can now be blended if you really want to. The number of reagents
from blending, w_class, and the number of fillets you get from cutting
fish now scale with size and weight.
- fish feed is no longer infinite (but it should still be plenty).
- Implemented temperature requirements for aquarium fish.
- You can now buy (dead) fish from the black market for dirt cheap.
- Last but now least, toilets are now valid fishing spots.
## About The Pull Request
This PR refactors mind language holders into non-existence
As a result, `update_atom_languages` is no longer necessary
Mind-bound languages are transferred via `/mind/proc/transfer_to`
Species changing no longer deletes and re-creates the mob's language
holder, allowing them to keep any languages they have.
Species languages are sourced from `LANGUAGE_SPECIES` now, meaning they
are removed when they change species. If the mob is not a human with a
species datum, these are effectively just atom level languages.
Makes a bunch of unit tests to ensure language transfer over certain
events works as intended
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mobs with minds having two independent language holders results in a
good few bugs, and simply doesn't make sense when we have sources
(`LANGUAGE_MIND`).
Instead of tracking two language holders, we can simply use sources
better and only track one.
This means that the language holder you start with is your language
holder, period. It doesn't get deleted or re-instantiated or whatever.
## Changelog

refactor: Refactored language holders, making species changes not delete
all of your known languages

A flag that lets you use an interactive TGUI screen while laying down.
Adds this flag to the PDA.
You're relaxing on a bed or something and it's annoying having to stand
up just to reply to a PDA message and then lay back down. We know how to
text without dropping the PDA on our face. (Usually)
The flag can be applied to anything else you should be able to interact
with while laying down.
This tracks the seconds per tick of a subsystem, however note that it is
not completely accurate, as subsystems can be delayed, however it's
useful to have this number as a multiplier or ratio, so that if in
future someone changes the subsystem wait time code correctly adjusts
how fast it applies effects

## About The Pull Request
- Tablets now refresh their page when changing programs, this means the
UI will no longer close and reopen itself several times (or even have
several UIs open if shit broke hard enough).
- Removed tablet's attack self because interact already does everything
it had to do.
- Header programs now close when minimized (as there's no button to
close them in the main menu.
- Removed a lot of program UI stuff, it's now handled by the PC itself,
such as header data and ui host.
- Cut off asset sending from TGUI into it's own proc so I can re-send
assets when changing programs
- Added an ejection button for machine computers
- Fixed ID not ejecting into the user's hand when using 'Eject ID'
- Fixes a minor runtime when opening the MODsuit application without a
MODsuit already connected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some bugs that I found with tablets
UIS now won't be flickering as bad in front of them, or have
inconsistent placement (like when you move your main menu UI, go to
Messenger, then it's back to the center of the screen).

## About The Pull Request
I noticed `/datum/tgui`'s DMDOC Comment on `var/title` misspelled `the`
as `te` while doing some unholy UI experiments, so I was going to PR a
correction so I can stop thinking about it. Though to be safe I checked
if it happened more than once, apparently it has happened thrice.
## About The Pull Request
`/datum/ui_state/new_player_state` now no longer lets users with R_ADMIN
permission see the UI. Changed `/datum/interview` to return always_state
when an admin watches an interview because it is important there.
`/datum/latejoin_menu` now uses new_player_state instead of its own
solution.
## Why It's Good For The Game
`/datum/ui_state/new_player_state` is designed to let lobby players
interact with the UI, so it does not make sense for it to make a weird
exception for admins too. My theory is that this was an oversight when
this was first implemented, since only `/datum/interview` used this
ui_state. It doesn't and it shouldn't be like this though. Code clarity.
## Changelog
No playerfacing changes.

Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

About The Pull Request
This was denied in the past for perf reasons, but I want to test how much this actually reduces perf.
rustg_json_is_valid checks for two things.
It checks that the data isn't too nested. This could easily be removed if it causes perf problems, since it's an extra O(n) check of its own. It was for a BYOND exploit that is now fixed.
It checks for JSON compliancy. It is backed by serde_json, which does not allow NaN, whereas BYOND is incompliant.
This does not lady_beetle ribbon 𝒻𝒾𝓍 ribbon lady_beetle #69017, because that is doing an extra text2num for no reason. If it didn't (like it shouldn't), then this would fix it.
Will be test merged on Manuel but not Sybil--CC @LemonInTheDark help me on figuring out the perf cost of this. If it's noticable then we can test with removing the depth check.

This PR does the following:
Force event menu uses tgUI.
Arranged events into categories, and added a little description to each. The descriptions appear as tooltips when you hover over the Trigger button.
Rewrote how "Announce to crew?" works. It no longer pops up a panel after the event has been already announced. Instead, the admins select it via a checkbox, and the result is passed through an optional argument.
announceChance's comment is tweaked a bit to reflect how it actually works at the moment.
Moved rpgtitles to wizard events, where it belongs.
Fake Virus and Electric Storms show up to observers, as I believe they are not as common as Space Dust or Camera Failure, and should be cancelable.
Potential issues:
This only solves half of #68408, I don't think admin triggering having a timer and a cancel button is a big issue, as it allows other admins to overrule you if needed, but if i is, I will try to fix it within this PR.
Fixes#68408. Events now spawn immediately, and the the announceChance is overwritten before it begins.
My choices for categories and descriptions might not be the best, feedback would be appreciated.
Why It's Good For The Game
The old spawn menu was completely unorganized, and you could only search using the browser search tool. I believe a built in search bar helps with this issue a bit. I also believe that organizing the events into categories, and adding descriptions will help with newer admins who might not be familiar with all events.
Changelog

/cl
This pr goes through: /client/Click(), /client/Topic(), /mob/living/verb/resist(), /mob/verb/quick_equip(), /mob/verb/examinate(), and /mob/verb/mode() and makes them queue their functionality to a subsystem to execute in the next tick if the server is overloaded. To do this a new subsystem is made to handle most verbs called SSverb_manager, if the server is overloaded the verb queues itself in the subsystem and returns, then near the start of the next tick that verb is resumed with the provided callback. The verbs are called directly after SSinput, and the subsystem does not yield until its queue is completely finished.
The exception are clicks from player input since they are extremely important for the feeling of responsiveness. I considered not queuing them but theyre too expensive not to, suffering from a death of a thousand cuts performance wise from many many things in the process adding up. Instead clicks are executed at the very start of the next tick, as the first action that SSinput completes, before player movement is processed even.
A few months ago, before I died I was trying to figure out why games at midpop (40-50 people) had non zero and consistent time dilation without maptick being consistently above 28% (which is when the MC stops yielding for maptick if its overloaded). I found it out, started working on this pr, then promptly died. luckily im a bit less dead now
the current MC has a problem: the cost of verbs is completely and totally invisible to it, it cannot account for them. Why is this bad? because verbs are the last thing to execute in the tick, after the MC and SendMaps have finished executing.
tick diagram2
If the MC is overloaded and uses 100% of the time it allots itself this means that if SendMaps uses the amount its expected to take, verbs have at most 2% of the tick to execute in before they are overtiming and thus delaying the start of the next tick. This is bad, and im 99% sure this is the majority of our overtime.
Take Click() for example. Click isnt listed as a verb but since its called as a result of client commands its executed at the end of the tick like other verbs. in this random 80 pop sybil round profile i had saved on my computer sybil 80 pop (2).txt /client/Click() has an overtime of only 1.8 seconds, which isnt that bad. however it has a self cpu of 2.5 seconds meaning 1.8/2.5 = 72% of its time is overtiming, and it also is calling 80.2 seconds worth of total cpu, which means that more than 57.7 seconds of overtime is attributed to just /client/Click() executing at the very end of a tick. the reason why this isnt obvious is just because the verbs themselves typically dont have high enough self cpu to get high enough on the rankings of overtiming procs to be noticed, all of their overtime is distributed among a ton of procs they call in the chain.
Since i cant guarantee the MC resumes at the very start of the next tick due to other sleeping procs almost always resuming first: I time the duration between clicks being queued up for the next tick and when theyre actually executed. if it exceeds 20 milliseconds of added latency (less than one tenth the average human reaction time) clicks will execute immediately instead of queuing, this should make instances where a player can notice the added latency a vanishingly small minority of cases. still, this should be tm'd

Adds fishing and fishing minigame.
You use fishing rod to fish.
Equipping specific bait/hook/reels will affect your success chances.
You can fish out fish,items and other things.
Fishing Equipment
Fishing rods have three slots: Bait, Reel and Hook.
Any food can be used as bait but dedicated bait makes fishing easier.
You can buy hook and line sets
New bait types:
Worms : Buy can of them at cargo (alternative acquirement method pending)
Doughballs : Use knife on flat piece of dough to get five of them.
Fishing rod types:
Basic : Print these at the lathe, nothing fancy here.
Tech: Experimental tech. Provides infinite bait
Fishing rods can also hook and reel normal items.
Equipment screen and reeling video
Fishing spots
Keep in mind this PR is meant to add the basic systems and i intend to fill these with more fish in future PR's so wait with suggestions until then.
Lavaland lava (no fish here right now, just other stuff), requires reinforced line to fish in.
Maintenance moisture traps.
Beach away mission water.
Fishing portal available for purchase from cargo - This is stopgap until we fill more spots.
Difficulty depends on fishing spot, fish type, and the fish traits and rod setup combinations.
All fish types can have specific traits, most common ones being favourite and disliked bait types/categories.

Fishing catalog now lists fishing related info
New admin debug verb, fishing calculator that show probabilities with different setups so it's easier to balance this.

refactors the status panel to utilize the tgui/byond communication APIs instead of passing along href data, as well as converts the entirety of it into a datum/tgui_window
Co-authored-by: Aleksej Komarov <stylemistake@gmail.com>
Converts PDA functions and applications over to modular tablets and devices, namely the messaging function. HREF data code is quite honestly clunky and difficult to work with, as I've definitely experienced whilst working on this. By moving from this system over the easier to read (and frankly, easier to add to) TGUI system, you get cleaner looking and more user friendly UIs and a greater degree of standardization amongst other UIs.

About The Pull Request
This pull request improves tgui API in many ways.
Using TGUI for custom HTML popups
This standardizes and simplifies the process of HTML popup creation and DM <-> JS communication.
Makes tgui window API a perfect alternative for old-style browser panels. It will be super useful for @Iamgoofball since he wanted to make a lightweight browser element that plays background music, and this will make his life a lot easier.
It is now possible to create tgui windows with fully inlined JS and CSS, which can be used to make unkillable tgui-based UIs (can't white/blue screen due to network errors). You can split files into JS and CSS, and still serve a single HTML file using this.
Moved sendMessage function to the Byond API object, where it rightfully belongs, and now supports a shorthand form: Byond.sendMessage(type, payload). This shortens and simplifies a lot of code.
Refactored window.update to no longer be public. Now to subscribe to incoming messages, you should use new public APIs: Byond.subscribe(fn) and Byond.subscribeTo(type, fn), and TGUI internally uses these functions as well, which reduces boilerplate in index.js.
Renamed window.__windowId__ to Byond.windowId (old variable is still available for backwards compatibility).
Byond API now supports null id, e.g. Byond.winget(null, 'url'), which makes things like this possible:
// Fetch URL of a currently connected server
Byond.winget(null, 'url').then((serverUrl) => {
// Connect to this server (opens a new dreamseeker instance)
Byond.call(serverUrl);
// Close this client because new instance is connecting
Byond.command('.quit');
});
Certain polyfills are now statically compiled (commited into git) and are baked into tgui.html. The downside is that HTML went 16 kB -> 50 kB. The upside is that you can now use a relatively modern level API with full support for IE8 when writing plain old html UIs using /datum/tgui_window directly. They are committed into git, because polyfills will never need to be updated (unless of course we randomly decide to get rid of ie8.js and html5shiv.js).
Breaking Changes
No breaking changes. This should be tested for regressions. Upgrading is simple if you're on a relatively up-to-date branch - copy paste all affected tgui files and you're good.
About The Pull Request
Converts more inputs to TGUI. Possibly all user-facing input lists in the game.
Did any surrounding text/number inputs as well
Added null choice support so users can press cancel.
Added some misc TGUI input fixes
Fixed custom vendors while I was there
I refactored a lot of code while just poking around.
Primarily, usage of .len in files where I was already working on lists.
Some code was just awful - look at guardian.dm and its non use of early returns
If there are any disputes, I can revert it just fine, those changes are not integral to the PR.
Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#63629Fixes#63307
Fixes custom vendors /again/
Text input is more performant.
Part of a long series of TGUI conversion to make the game more visually appealing

Previous issues addressed:
- You could not reselect search just by keying
- Pressing enter sometimes deselected
- Double click would deselect - which was intentional, but useless really
- Default values were not implemented in original
- Validation is required for tgui inputs but truly only one "needs" it, it costs performance otherwise

More text inputs converted to tgui, TGUI text and number input now more sanely handles ENTER key being pressed, you can now press anywhere in the window to enter the input. TGUI text input now considers placeholder text for the default valid state. IE, if there is default text you can press enter immediately without having to rewrite it just to recheck validity. Fixes: useSharedState => useLocalState. not only was sharedstate not needed but it opened up the ui to vulnerabilities
