Admins can now give players a popup if they are not responding to tickets.
Popup is cleared when player replies or ticket is resolved/closed.
As more and more of the chat screen is made irrelevant, new players read it less and less.
This means that a lot of new players are ignoring ahelps, which is something I've encountered myself.
SDQL spells have been improved in several ways:
- The behavior of executing SDQL spell queries using datums has been migrated to a component
- Projectile SDQL spells can now fire any subtype of /obj/projectile
- Touch SDQL spells can use any subtype of /obj/item/melee/touch_attack
- More robust parse error detection
- Parse errors while loading a file from json are displayed in a modal window, with the option to load whatever parts of the spell were correctly parsed (be forewarned, scrollable sections are scuffed, and the ones that appear in the parse error modal can only be scrolled through by drag-selecting the text within them)
- Fixes a bug with the names of variables within lists
- Compartmentalizes SDQL spell code into several .dm files.

Implements the Requests Manager, a new admin tool used to view all prayers, Centcom/Syndicate requests, and nuke code requests within the span of a round.
The verb can be found under Admin.Game, or alternatively just use the verb directly Requests Manager. The requests can be filtered by type (using the type filter button), or using a text search which searches both the message text as well as the request owner's name.
This happened because clients are incredibly fickle and may disappear at any time.
In this case searching for the DB took long enough to cause this.
Improved a little code around it, in the process.
(It's more like the db sleeps, so byond has a chance to nuke the client datum. but this is good either way)
Adds a check for observers to invisimin verb code.
Less admins thinking it's broken when it just tells them they are disabling it over and over as an observer.
This fixes#58258. Basically anytime a pAI holoform gets shot with a staff of changing or polymorph item it would change their mob type. This allowed ghost roles infinite respawns since the pAI card is not destroyed when it gets polymorphed. An unlimited army can be created with no downsides since you can keep bringing people back to life with the pAI requests.
I also went and fixed another strange behavior with polymorph, where if you used a staff of animate on an object, you could turn around and then polymorph the object into a mob. The animate magic is supposed to wear off the object after a certain while so I made the mimic immune to polymorph effects.
Fixes a ton of harddels, sourced from #59996
I think this brings us down to like, ~100 per round from ~200, with only like 20 of those being proper hell failures. I've seen harddel profiles below 1 second of total cost. Feeling good.
See you on the other side
Makes the cryopod control computer into a weakref, never trust bee code
Converts brig door timer internal lists to weakrefs
Fixes a harddel caused by qdeling a motion sensitive camera after it had left its source area, jesus christ why didn't we do this already holy shit
Converts the radio implant ref held by the antenna mutation to weakrefs because it isn't reliably cleaned up, makes the radio implant actually qdel its fucking radio
Removes the target var from the throwing datum, it does literally nothing and just exists to cause harddels, mostly for the singularity
Fixes a cable harddel sourced from things that try to enter blueprints after smoothing, but before roundstart. IE, shuttles. Removes shuttles from the blueprints
Fixes emmisive blockers being added post qdel
Removes some manual ghosting from cryopods, I initially did this for harddel reasons, but I figured out a better fix for that. I'm now doing it because it's got this really strange logic for like "re-entering the game" that doesn't actually link to what the ghostize proc does. We should remove this at some point
Fixes robot hud objects harddeling due to hanging refs
Fixes buildmode related hanging refs, I'm coming for you admin team
Fixes a few instances of trying to add the forensics component post qdel, hhhhhhhhhhh
Fixes some split personality harddels/weirdness
Replaces a use of disconnect_duct with an init qdel hint, I suspect there's more issues with duct harddels, I've seen some odd logs about ahhh the area_contents list, but we can worry about that later
Makes teleporter targets into weakrefs, properly types them as /atom
Makes frequency devices into weakrefs
Makes cameras remove themselves from camera nets on Destroy
Makes tgui ui datums implement destroy, this means if I ever see one hang a ref to user or whatever, I know there's an error with calling close() properly. I've seen this harddel once, but not after this change so I assume there was some error with close(). IDK maybe this is a papering over? Would have to ask @stylemistake
I've seen logs of beartraps being in world post del, putting a return there just in case. The same is true of nerf darts, but I haven't really looked into that yet
Makes a shoe's ref to untying alerts a weakref, yes this is needed.
Moves clearing client_in_contents to the Login of the new mob. This prevents doing things like ghosting someone before a mob qdel causing harddels
Fixes a harddel set sourced from adding a status effect to a qdeleted thing. Is this an error? I'm honestly not sure.
Converts bsa code to weakrefs
Converts the partner var of heat exchangers to weakrefs
Converts camera assemblies to weakrefs
Fixes some dumb behavior with ammo casings and assuming you'll be on a turf post Destroy parent call
Fixes? merger related harddels, you were never cleared from your own members list, so origin objects would end up making a new list, creating harddels. Potential input from @ninjanomnom about the logic
Chasms store a static list of "falling atoms", which only exists for chasms that go somewhere else. This list wasn't being cleared of qdeleted objects, which is what happens when you fall in most chasms. Fixes this, and converts the list to weakrefs.
Fixes some runtimes in both sheet code, and the weather listener element. This is here because runtime spam made testing more of a pain, didn't think it needed its own pr
Fixes colorful reagent harddels sourced from reagents that were qdel'd before roundstart. I'm only like 50% sure this actually got it, but the issue may have been solved by #60174, so eh
Turns the nuke op antag datum's ref to the war button into a weakref
Fixes some holopad code that was not nulling refs all the time
Converts camera bugs to weakrefs, this was the result of the bug being "reworked" like 6 years back without taking the existing ref clearing into account. Whole item needs a redo, but this'll do for now.
Ensures that the both pulling and pullee refs are cleared on Destroy
The crew monitor held all users in a non clearing list, makes that list a weakref because I hate everything
Oh and I removed all sources of gas_mixture qdeletion, I'm kinda unsure on this since it's not technically supported, but any harddels from it might? indicate something going wrong with like, gas passing logic. I'd like @MrStonedOne's thoughts, since I trust him to call me an idiot if I'm wrong.

## Why it's not good for the game
I crashed sybil like 10 times to get this data, I'm gonna put it to good use. Don't think you're safe sybilites, I'm coming for you.
Requested by oranges and inspired by the upcoming event. A new subsyetem, non-processing (for now), aimed at providing some toggle switches that can be flipped as a last ditch effort to save some CPU cycles by sacrificing some non-critical mechanics. Below you can see each individual toggle.

Surely there are more opportunities for toggles I missed, but adding new ones is not very difficult at all.
Why It's Good For The Game
Better performance during extreme pop, I hope.
Changelog
cl
code: Introduces the Lag Switch subsystem for when a smoother experience is worth trading a few bells and whistles for. Performance enhancement measures can be togged by admins with the Show Lag Switches admin verb or enabled automatically at a pop amount set via config.
config: Added a new config var: number/auto_lag_switch_pop
* Converts looping sounds from a list of play locations to just the one
* Updates all uses of looping sounds to match the new arg
* Adds an area based sound manager that hooks into looping sounds to drive the actual audio. I'll be using this to redo how weather effects handle sound
* Some structrual stuff to make everything else smoother
Timers now properly return the time left for client based timers
Weather sends global signals when it starts/stops
Looping sounds now use their timerid var for all their sound related timers, not just the main loop
* This is the painful part
Adds an area sound manager component, it handles the logic of moving into new areas potentially creating new
sound loops. We do some extra work to prevent stacking sound loops.
Adds an ash storm listener element that adds a tailored area sound manager to clients on the lavaland z level.
It's removed on logout.
Adds the ash_storm_sounds assoc list, a reference to this is passed into area sound managers, and it's modified
in a manner that doesn't break the reference in ash_storm (This is what I hate)
* Hooks ash storm listener into cliented mobs and possessed objects
* Documents the odd ref stuff, adds an ignore start var to looping sounds, fixes some errors and lint issues
* Applies kyler's review
banging

* Cleans up some var names, reduces the amount of looping we do in some areas
* Makes the code compile, redoes the movement listener to be more general
* fuck
* We don't need to detach on del if we're just removing signals on detach
* Should? work
* if(direct) memes

closes#58379
Stationary gas tanks have been in a terrible place for a long time, this addresses some of the issues with a more balance focused change coming in a second mapping pr after this one.
Stationary gas tanks have been made constructable and act similarly to canisters in that they can be damaged, repaired, and over-pressurized to explode. Additionally, they can be made with any rigid material and their stats depend on that material. A glass tank is going to have far less pressure capability than one made of plasteel.
In terms of gameplay there are two main differences now: Adjacent stationary tanks will merge together both graphically and with their internal storage. Any port on any of the tanks can access this shared storage. Also stationary tanks no longer magically have many times the volume for gas as the tile it's in, instead they have a pressure cap and a normal amount of volume.
Of interest to coders this pr also adds a generic grouping datum that acts similar to how pipe networks work. It maintains a listing of all adjacent objects whose type falls within a specified filter. In this case it's used for the gas tanks to know of every other tank in the group. I'll be looking into spreading it's usage elsewhere where this can replace existing one off systems.
Some (de)construction:
First a glass tank is constructed which is then immediately damaged by the high pressure in the gas storage that is now shared. After repairing it for a moment another metal tank is built.
I broke shuttles and other things by trusting queued_time.
This fixes it better, by tracking the ticks it's suppose to miss.
closes: #59805 (this doesn't actually work anymore it seems)
Simply puts species IDs into defines ("lizard" turns into #define SPECIES_LIZARD "lizard"). This does not affect any gameplay, and is purely for making sure future code doesn't go all fucked up because someone accidentally misspells something
I only changed code that was spelt correctly, so if there actually is a typo somewhere, it isn't changed
Refactors dbcore to work off a subsystem if executed async and limits the maximum amount of concurrent async queries to 25.
This has been tested locally on a mysql docker image and there were no crashes (as long as you didn't run it with debug extools) + data was getting recorded fine.
Why It's Good For The Game
May or may not resolve terry crashes, however, each query creates a new thread which takes up 2mb, preventing the game from using that 2mb. This can lead to ooms if they stack up, e.g. due to poor connectivity. This solves that issue.
maintainer note: this did not actually resolve the crashes, but has value anyway. Crashes were sidestepped fixed by finding out Large Address Awareness works
cl
refactor: Refactors dbcore.dm to possibly resolve the crashes that happen on Terry.

I noticed that various nonhuman body features can't be changed using genetics. I corrected this by adding a block to character genomes allowing you to edit features in the DNA console.
At some point in the last few weeks, the OOC heart commendations that players were polled for during the shuttle's return trip at the end of the round stopped appearing for people on the live servers, even though admin logs showed it was still calculating how many people were supposed to be asked, and it seemed to be working fine on my local server. My only guess is it might somehow be related to #58419 since that was the last PR to touch hearted.dm, even if it's not clear how it might've broken it.
I also neaten up the code for commendations a bit, making it so the procs are easier to follow and have less unnecessary checks. Also, the proc nominate_heart has been reworked to receive_heart, since it makes more sense for it to run on the person receiving the commendation as opposed to the person sending it. It will also properly cancel polling if the "how many to ask" check returns 0 people, rather than always polling at least one.
Edit: Figured it out, #58419 was indeed the culprit, it blindly replaced src with usr without considering that src and usr aren't necessarily the same thing (as it was here, since query_heart() was called by the ticker SS)
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
Sourced from #59118 and a cursed project I'll pr later, This pr contains a lot of harddel fixes for stuff that pops up after a player interacts with something. I'm not gonna list them all here because there's something like 60 130, check the commit log if you're curious
Oh and I moved ref tracking screaming to a separate define, and made some optimizations to the thing in general. I think that's it, this pr is a bit of a frankenstine
* Adds in support for basic send maps profiling, I'd still like to get something that tracks with the round a bit
better, but we can worry about that later
* Adds a debug verb that displays the sendmaps profiling page, as basic as it is
* Define respect
* Patches over an error where profiles would persist through rounds, somehow. Adds the maptick stuff to performance logging, so we can look at how things change over a short period of time
Adds a 2FA system for admins. When a config is enabled, a database storing your last CID and IP will be checked to see if you have connected through there before. If not, you will not be able to admin until you are verified. Verification is done by opening a website (decided by config), which is tasked with updating the database entry, which will then let you reverify.
MSO wants to implement this as a forum page, but the DM-side is completely agnostic to whatever the implementation is, just that it updates the database. This means that it could potentially be some TOTP stuff, even.
If the database is down, a backup file is checked for your most recent verified connection (IP + CID). If you are on this connection, you will be able to connect fine. If the database is down and you are on a new connection, someone with +PERMISSIONS can manually verify you through the Permissions Panel.
We've had repeated attacks of admins getting their accounts stolen, it's time.
Delaying/undelaying round end is no longer a toggle under the same href.
Delaying and undelaying the round end are now explicit operations. If two admins attempt to delay round end at the same time, the first admin to input a reason wins and the second admin instead gets an alert that the round end is already delayed along with the reason instead of accidentally untoggling it.
FINALLY, undelaying round end will no longer trigger an immediate auto server reboot when SSticker.ready_for_reboot is TRUE. The admins are messaged that they must Reboot World manually. This is the final guard against admins accidentally undelaying when they're not actually ready to do so.
This is needed for the rare case that the situation described in the ban turns out to be inaccurate, so future searches for the user in the ban db don't lead admins to the wrong opinion.
Creating a situation where the admin has to remember to edit the ban reason before unbanning them is kinda lame
I'd love to make it so only the reason is editable, but that is far too much work for too little benefit.
fixes#59424
