## About The Pull Request
Removes Station-Time entirely
Server Time is now NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time). SS13 takes place
exactly 540 years in the future of the current day, so every second is 1
second in-game.
Round Time is now PT (Pay-Time), how Nanotrasen keeps track of how long
the current rotation of Employees has been working for.
Telecomms uses NST due to its importance of being the communication to
the blackbox.
Autopsy report, clocks, scientific reports and requisitions use both
timestamps due to them being more official documents that NT may need to
know beyond just the current round (just for flavortext).
Pretty much everything else (Det scanner, PDA, IC logs, Time-of-Death,
AI law changes, Cyborg file downloading) uses PT
PT

# Other changes
1. Circuit time checker will now get the value of the given input (Hour,
Minute, Second) rather than the full dedisecond time converted into
hour/minutes/seconds

2. Turns nightshift into a round event that'll last approximately 22
minutes
3. 12-hour pref (doesn't apply to the stat panel because it's global
info) & removal of "TCT" time
<img width="569" height="440" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d39083b1-d248-41c0-9a1c-b2398ca203a7"
/>
4. The chocolate pudding negative moodlet is now based on the server's
IRL time.
5. Admins can now use ``class``, ``style`` and ``background`` (they were
already given perms to use ``img`` so hiding background, which was
removed to prevent image embedding, is pointless)
6. Also fixes ``year`` being off on localhost.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Server Time is approximately 1s = 12s converted, not including it
desyncing from lag (I believe?).
This makes it pretty much impossible for people to actually use this as
a unit of measurement for in-game actions.
Different things also uses different timestamps which is a bit more
confusing.
The main change here is for accessibility and, hopefully, using time as
a source of immersion. "20 minutes ago" is no longer OOC, they're just
speaking in PT. There's no timezones in space, Nanotrasen Standard Time
is the closest there is, but Pay Time is how NT considers when you get
your paychecks, so it's what is more commonly used.
It also fixes major inconsistencies between "IC time" and "Station
time", things like breakfast moodlet was the first 15mins of the round
despite the round starting like 7 hours in? Nukies with an L6 SAW firing
down the halls was shooting like 1 bullet every 3 seconds (assuming 4
bullets per second), overall there was just a disconnect between how
long time actually is in the universe.
The secondary reason for this change (though it is what pushed me to
actually get around to making this change) is the greater stat-panel
removal. This hopes to lessen the dependence on the stat panel for
station-time by making it easier to understand, and the end-goal I have
is for this information to be limited to Admins & the AI (AI will get
the IC version with the accurate year), so until that happens I would
like to improve the use of station-time by making it consistent (for
example, you should only care for PT for IC, which is also what your PDA
displays), so that when it gets removed it won't leave players timeless.
If you haven't already, and is interested in helping remove the stat
panel, every entry that needs to be removed can be found here -

## Changelog
🆑
del: Removed Station Time, now we use NST (Nanotrasen Standard Time),
which is IRL server time +540 years, and PT (Pay Time), the amount of
time since the round has started.
del: Station nightshift is now a Station event rather than being based
on Server time.
balance: Time circuit's Unit of Measure now tells the amount of time in
hour/minute/seconds rather than giving the whole time translated to
hours/minutes/seconds.
qol: Added a 12-hour clock pref for people who prefer it.
qol: Hovering over NST timestamps on official documents will now
translate how much it is in PT/Shift Time.
admin: Admins can now use style/class/background in their papercode.

## About The Pull Request
Removes Object tab, which didn't work as it required a whole reload of
your verbs to update to what verbs would show up in it (which is very
hard to actually trigger as a player), but leaves the verbs that had
them show in the dropdown menu.
Removes the Point-To and Examine verbs from the Stat panel, now it's
commandbar only. Originally only did Point-To, but because the stat
panel sorts itself by the category of the item, then the order of the
name, I had to remove Examine's category so it would remain sorted the
same.

Removes Server tab for players (not Admins) by moving Show Map Vote
Tallies to the OOC tab, as that was the only verb there.
Activate Held Object has been moved to IC since it's a roundstart verb,
I thought I should leave it be (do we have numbers on how many people
use these? Why would someone use the verb over clicking on the item
in-game or Z? Should I remove this too?).
Admin's Object Possession verbs are now in Admin Fun instead of Object.

## Why It's Good For The Game
We have 2 tabs that exists for a total of 3 procs, 2 of them fit
elsewhere and the last one doesn't work at all. Most verbs here don't
show up in the stat panel at all for the vast majority of players due to
the stat panel not actually loading them in when it's available, which
to me shows that it's a feature that isn't really cared about anyways.
It also helps newer players because there's less tabs to navigate and
less verbs to sift through, we have a ton of verbs that basically don't
need to exist and they only exist to make looking for the important
verbs a larger hassle.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Deleted Object tab, and Server tab for players. Activate Held
Object verb is now in the IC tab. Examine and Point To was removed from
the stat panel.
admin: Object possession verbs have been moved to Admin Fun.

## About The Pull Request
I'm making the ordeal of finding a maint disk (or buying blackmarket
bootleg disk) with a theme in it a slightly more rewarding experience,
while sticking to the concept that it's something you've to find, unlike
default PDA themes.
This PR also proves to be an opportunity to put the progress tab that I
coded a year ago for the 'Fishdex' to good use.
TODO:
~~Refactor preferences to allow specific choices to be shown/hidden
depending on whether the player meets a defined criteria, otherwise
you'll have to do it manually every round, which is lame~~
- [x] Make some simple ui icons associated with each unlockable theme to
be shown in the cheevo progress tab
- [x] Code to validate deserialized DB values, in the remote case that
any theme is removed in the future, as well as unit test code for any
non-abstract theme without ID
- [x] Add sound cue and chat feedback when unlocking a theme (or when
fishing a new kind of fish for the first time, like, the code's similar)
- [x] Test all of this
## Why It's Good For The Game
These themes are basically an end in itself, and I understand the reason
behind their existence is to make for some cute, little maint loot, but
relegating it to chance of finding a disk somewhere in maintenance,
**every single round** really rots whatever little substance this purely
cosmetic feature already has.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Once installed, special PDA themes from maintenance disks will be
present on your roundstart PDA on future rounds (Sadly I couldn't figure
out a way to add those to the preferences UI yet). You can check which
PDA themes you've unlocked in the Progress tab of the achievements UI.

The video also showcases new styling options with a selection of
stickers! You can also write something on the disk instead of selecting
an icon:

MOST disks now inherit the `/item/disk` type to properly stack and do...
stuff. An updatepaths script included.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Old school is cool. Stacking disks makes them feel more authentic, while
styling allows for more crearivity!

## About The Pull Request
By default, ``use_energy`` will take 0 as the amount of energy to use,
turning it into a basic "check if we have power" check, however if we
don't exclude ``check_programs`` arg, and because it doesn't use any
power, it will loop through every PDA app to see if they are able to be
opened while unpowered, and opening those that can operate while powered
(aka the PDA messenger).
This is the case for PDA Messenger, so if you're using any app and get a
PDA message, or you reply to one, it will call ``ring()``, which will
call ``use_energy``, which will swap the PDA app to messenger as if the
PDA has no power. This fixes that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/76965
## Changelog

fix: PDA messenger will no longer force itself as your active program
when sending/receiving PDA messages.

## About The Pull Request
The "NT Shopping Network" app now checks for if you have "Department
Budget" access instead of command access for letting you place orders
and not requests. All heads, cargo techs and the warden have it shift
start but it can be given to anyone (same as EVA access) and heads of
staff can add or remove it at their access consoles.
Also makes warden start with the app to hint that they have access to
the budget.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The access itself is good because letting heads choose who has access to
the department budget is obviously good.
Cargo techs get it cuz they already have access to it by having access
to the request consoles in cargo.
Warden gets it by default because HOS is usually busy
killing/arresting/patrolling while warden is the one actually managing
brig and the armory. If HOS really hates that warden has access to the
budget they can just remove it on their console.
## About The Pull Request
Extends the part of the crafting unit test that ensures consistency
between the total mats of the components of a recipe (or rather, the
result of said recipe) and a generic instance of the same type as its
result, previously only implemented on food recipes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This ensures a degree of consistency with the material composition of
various objects in the game. I couldn't do it in the original PR as that
one was too big already and it took months to get it merged, and have
the relative bugs fixed.
Currently a WIP as I slowly deal with the unit test reports.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Follow-up to the crafting/material refactor from months ago.
All objects crafted with stacks now inherit their mat composition (not
necessarily the effects and color) by default, while previously only a
few things like chair, sinks and toilets did. Report any object looking
or behaving weirdly as a result.
fix: The material composition of ammo boxes is no longer a 1/10 of what
it's supposed to be. It was a shitty hack to make it harder to recycle
empty ammo boxes. Instead, they lose materials as they're emptied now.

Inventory screen elements were no longer considered reachable, which
broke mousedrop handing on objects that check "is dragging into

I don't know the best way to fix this yet but I figured the next best
thing would be to make all of these use the `drag_pickup` element, which
skips this reach-ability check

contextually not be drag-pick-up-abble and bam, works like a charm

Mod computers with the access changing software installed have a
secondary ID slot once again. This ID slot doesn't contribute to access.
You can insert IDs into the slot with right click and remove them with
alt-right click.
Also removes the "New IDs and you" memo paper.
Also tweaks PDA on_deconstruct so contents are dropped on when they're
deconstructed with assembly.
Fixes#92151
## Why It's Good For The Game
Changing IDs is very unnecessarily clunky with the one slot. Insert hop
id, log in, remove hop id, insert crew id, change access, remove crew
id, log out.
We had it right back when we had two slots. Insert hop ID, insert crew
id, log in. It just works.
This also allows for mobile HoPs to change access without necessitating
removing their ID from their PDA.
Other changes:
The "New IDs and you" memo is very old. They haven't been new for 4
years now. I don't think anyone reads it and they served their purpose.
I found it odd that, if your PDA was melted or blown up, it would delete
your ID. If this is a hold-over from old PDA behavior feel free to let
me know but otherwise it seems sensible that it'd spit out the contents
as you would expect.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
qol: The access changing software (the HoP console) now has ID two slots
again (one for the HoP's id and one for the ID being changed). You can
insert IDs in the secondary slot via the UI or right click, and remove
them via the UI or alt-right click.
qol: If your PDA is destroyed via acid or bombs, your ID (and similar
contents such as disks) are spit out instead of being deleted
del: Deletes the "New IDs and you" memo in the HoP's office. They
haven't been new for 4 years.
fix: Engineering sub-tab in the access changing software no longer looks
messed up

## About The Pull Request
Changes human name to update whenever anything that could result in
their visible name changing occurs, such as changing IDs, equipping
gasmasks, picking potted plants, etc. Currently name updates occur every
``Life()`` tick and in a few "special" cases, which causes a lot of name
changes from sources such as equipment to not apply until the mob ticks,
and makes us waste a tiiiny bit of CPU time on name updates.
I've also slighly cleaned up human /Life() and made species'
``spec_life()`` not run when the mob is dead, as it was causing certain
unintended interactions, such as slimepeople regenerating blood while
dead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Microoptimization, ensures that correct names are always used (in case
something could update their name but the mob hasn't ticked yet), plus
its just a cleaner implementation
## About The Pull Request
Implements https://hackmd.io/@tgstation/SkeUS7lSp , rewriting Dynamic
from the ground-up
- Dynamic configuration is now vastly streamlined, making it far far far
easier to understand and edit
- Threat is gone entirely; round chaos is now determined by dynamic
tiers
- There's 5 dynamic tiers, 0 to 4.
- 0 is a pure greenshift.
- Tiers are just picked via weight - "16% chance of getting a high chaos
round".
- Tiers have min pop ranges. "Tier 4 (high chaos) requires 25 pop to be
selected".
- Tier determines how much of every ruleset is picked. "Tier 4 (High
Chaos) will pick 3-4 roundstart[1], 1-2 light, 1-2 heavy, and 2-3
latejoins".
- The number of rulesets picked depends on how many people are in the
server - this is also configurable[2]. As an example, a tier that
demands "1-3" rulesets will not spawn 3 rulesets if population <= 40 and
will not spawn 2 rulesets if population <= 25.
- Tiers also determine time before light, heavy, and latejoin rulesets
are picked, as well as the cooldown range between spawns. More chaotic
tiers may send midrounds sooner or wait less time between sending them.
- On the ruleset side of things, "requirements", "scaling", and
"enemies" is gone.
- You can configure a ruleset's min pop and weight flat, or per tier.
- For example a ruleset like Obsession is weighted higher for tiers 1-2
and lower for tiers 3-4.
- Rather than scaling up, roundstart rulesets can just be selected
multiple times.
- Rulesets also have `min_antag_cap` and `max_antag_cap`.
`min_antag_cap` determines how many candidates are needed for it to run,
and `max_antag_cap` determines how many candidates are selected.
- Rulesets attempt to run every 2.5 minutes. [3]
- Light rulesets will ALWAYS be picked before heavy rulesets. [4]
- Light injection chance is no longer 100%, heavy injection chance
formula has been simplified.
- Chance simply scales based on number of dead players / total number
off players, with a flag 50% chance if no antags exist. [5]
[1] This does not guarantee you will actually GET 3-4 roundstart
rulesets. If a roundstart ruleset is picked, and it ends up being unable
to execute (such as "not enough candidates", that slot is effectively a
wash.) This might be revisited.
[2] Currently, this is a hard limit - below X pop, you WILL get a
quarter or a half of the rulesets. This might be revisited to just be
weighted - you are just MORE LIKELY to get a quarter or a half.
[3] Little worried about accidentally frontloading everything so we'll
see about this
[4] This may be revisited but in most contexts it seems sensible.
[5] This may also be revisited, I'm not 100% sure what the best / most
simple way to tackle midround chances is.
Other implementation details
- The process of making rulesets has been streamlined as well. Many
rulesets only amount to a definition and `assign_role`.
- Dynamic.json -> Dynamic.toml
- Dynamic event hijacked was ripped out entirely.
- Most midround antag random events are now dynamic rulesets. Fugitives,
Morphs, Slaughter Demons, etc.
- The 1 weight slaughter demon event is gone. RIP in peace.
- There is now a hidden midround event that simply adds +1 latejoin, +1
light, or +1 heavy ruleset.
- `mind.special_role` is dead. Minds have a lazylist of special roles
now but it's essentially only used for traitor panel.
- Revs refactored almost entirely. Revs can now exist without a dynamic
ruleset.
- Cult refactored a tiny bit.
- Antag datums cleaned up.
- Pre round setup is less centralized on Dynamic.
- Admins have a whole panel for interfacing with dynamic. It's pretty
slapdash I'm sure someone could make a nicer looking one.
- Maybe some other things.
## Why It's Good For The Game
See readme for more info.
Will you see a massive change in how rounds play out? My hunch says
rounds will spawn less rulesets on average, but it's ultimately to how
it's configured

## About The Pull Request
The issue was threefold, first speed potions sent the comsig before
actually applying which could be abused to make items not have a
slowdown without spending it or coloring them by using it on them in a
state when they don't have a slowdown (i.e. disabled magboots). Magboots
``initial()``'d their slowdown which could break them if they somehow
got it negative, but I believe that didn't happen in actual gameplay.
And I've made duffelbags and laptops have their open slowdown set to 0
similarly to magboots when a speed potion is applied to them. Last one
may be a balance change, depending on the original intent, but I'm going
off their pre-rework behavior here (and it generally feels weird to be
the case when they get unslowdowned and then it gets reapplied when you
close and open them)

## About The Pull Request
Revival of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86482, which is
even more doable now that we have rustg iconforge generation.
What this PR does:
- Sets up every single GAGS icon in the game to have their own preview
icon autogenerated during compile. This is configurable to not run
during live. The icons are created in `icons/map_icons/..`
- This also has the side effect of providing accurate GAGS icons for
things like the loadout menu. No more having to create your own
previews.
<details><summary>Mappers rejoice!</summary>
</details>
<details><summary>Uses iconforge so it does not take up much time during
init</summary>
</details>
---
### Copied from https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86482 as
this still applies:
Note for Spriters:
After you've assigned the correct values to vars, you must run the game
through init on your local machine and commit the changes to the map
icon dmi files. Unit tests should catch all cases of forgetting to
assign the correct vars, or not running through init.
Note for Server Operators:
In order to not generate these icons on live I've added a new config
entry which should be disabled on live called GENERATE_ASSETS_IN_INIT in
the config.txt
## Why It's Good For The Game
No more error icons in SDMM and loadout.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: preview icons for greyscale items are now automatically
generated, meaning you can see GAGS as they actually appear ingame while
mapping or viewing the loadout menu.

## About The Pull Request
Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.

records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.

## About The Pull Request
People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.

## About The Pull Request
Adds an alert level notice on the main PDA screen.
The notice starts out as simple colored text when the user is not in any
danger or concern. If the user is in danger, it becomes black text on a
colored background. If the user is called to fix the problem relevant to
alert (ie. security to deal with red alert active threats) the notice
becomes blinking text on a colored background.
<!-- Please make sure to actually test your PRs. If you have not tested
your PR mention it. -->
## Why It's Good For The Game
The existing way to check current alert levels (look at a fire alarm)
doesn't really make much sense for new players. Also, this way is more
accessible because a player will usually always be able to intuit where
their PDA is on their person, while the fire alarm location will always
be dependant on what station is being played.

## About The Pull Request
Port of a fix from
https://github.com/Monkestation/Monkestation2.0/pull/4995
Due to how modular computers worked with the nested tgui stuff, the
SecurEye app wouldn't properly autoupdate whenever a camera it was
watching moved (when there's not any tracking going on)
This "fixes" that issue by adding a new var, `always_update_ui`, to
modular computer programs, which will make the modpc call the active
program's `ui_interact` even after the UI is opened.
## Why It's Good For The Game
bugfix good. if the whole "watch broadcast camera streams on PDA" thing
ever gets ported here, this is a needed fix for that.

## About The Pull Request
Pre-discussed with @Watermelon914, this PR removes Secondary & Final
Objectives from all Traitors, rather than just midround ones. It also
removes all of the surrounding supporting code.
Randomly assigned Primary Objectives still exist, I just used the
ability to rewrite mine to take the screenshot.
In terms of final objectives, the surrounding items that were available
still exist but don't necessarily have sources.
If anyone has good ideas for readding these in some other form it can be
done in future PRs.
It also allows all traitors to buy the Contractor kit, previously
limited to midround traitors which lacked secondary objectives, because
now all traitors lack secondary objectives.
This essentially limits all traitors to a maximum of 20 TC (16 if they
spawn with an uplink implant). Currently I don't foresee that they
strictly need any additional way of gaining TC during a round as 20 is
quite sufficient, but it may take some time to adjust and get used to it
after such a long time of having access to more. If we need to adjust
the starting value or add a slow drip of more points over time or
something, that can be done in followup PRs.
This also removes the ability to recreate your uplink added by my
beautiful wife in #74315
This was part of the progression traitor design document, but ultimately
probably a bad idea as it essentially made traitors impossible to
properly disarm. You will once more just need to carefully protect your
uplink.
**This does not remove the threat/progression system**.
Like midround traitors, all Reputation requirements on gear are now
simple timelocks, most of which will have elapsed by the time 30 minutes
have passed.
**Finally** this PR also adds Romerol to the traitor uplink for 25 TC
and 30 minutes of reputation, as a treat (and because I removed the
final objective that previously granted it).
## Why It's Good For The Game
We've tried this system for a long time (3 years last month!) and while
I think it had a lot of promise, enabled some cool moments, and also
solved several of the problems it set out to solve, overall I think some
of the behaviours it has encouraged in players have been overall
negative for the game.
While the _game systems_ are fine, even quite fun and cool (especially
final objectives) I am of the opinion that having them in the game
creates a net negative purely in the way that they react with players'
_brains_, creating incentives towards behaviour we don't actually want
people to pursue.
While it's hard-to-impossible to prove any of this with hard data, there
has been a prevailing feeling for some time among many (though certainly
not all) people that the simple fact of _having_ a constant drip-feed of
objective available to players leads directly to less interesting
antagonist play. While certainly nobody is _forced_ to do secondary
objectives you are directly and quite strongly rewarded for doing so,
doing so efficiently, and doing so in a way which makes sure that nobody
(alive) sees you do it. This leads to a tendency to play defensively and
try to maximise the number of tasks you can complete in one round, which
also has a knock-on effect of generally minimising the number of people
you attempt to interact with in a round (unless you are killing them).
Even people who _intend_ on doing some more interesting gimmick can fall
into this trap, as "having more tools" is always useful for anyone who
is intending on any kind of plan at all, but then executing on the
secondary objectives again incentivises you to lay low, not interact
with anyone, be efficient, and then reduces the time you are spending
doing the thing that's your actual plan for the round. Removing the
ever-present temptation to fish for extra TC leaves "doing whatever your
actual plan is" as the sole thing to optimise.
Final Objectives too have created unfortunate psychological effects
between crewsided players and other antagonists. Because of the _threat_
(no matter how remote, Final Objectives have always been tuned to be
appropriately rare) that leaving any antagonist alone will cause them to
snowball by acquiring more power, it starts to feel foolish to respond
to any threat with less than the maximum possible level of force even if
they seem relatively innocuous in the moment. This even has an effect on
other non-progression antagonists, as traitors are the most common
antagonist type and how people treat them is going to be their default
level of reaction to most other station threats.
While there has always been the promise of expanding the system with
novel and exciting objectives that leverage appearing mid-round to do
something unique, we've taken very little advantage of that over time.
Most objectives we have added that didn't boil down to "kill someone,
with a twist" have been somewhat unsuccessful, serving either as ways to
get yourself arrested and killed for no reason or ways to get free
telecrystals by doing something the crew don't really care about
stopping you from doing. The option still exists to add more roundstart
objectives to traitors, if someone suddenly has a great idea that would
fit in this space.
The ideal outcome of making this change is a slight relaxation of crew
attitude towards feeling like their only option after catching an
antagonist that isn't sandbagging is to permanently remove them from the
round (although it's fine to do this still in many scenarios), and a
broadening of traitorous activity which is not purely focused on
collecting as many checkboxes as possible and might give people more
time to roleplay with other players, not worrying that this time could
have been more efficiently spent pursuing a different secondary goal.
I don't anticipate or desire that this will prevent traitors from
killing anyone (or even stop them from killing people they don't have a
specific objective to kill), I just want to remove the FOMO from
people's minds.
Also this gives us something to talk about at the coder townhall meeting
on the 22nd.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Misplaced or stolen traitor uplinks can no longer be recreated
using a radio code and special device, guard yours carefully or buy a
backup implant.
del: Roundstart traitors can no longer take on additional objectives in
order to earn additional Telecrystals and fast-forward any unlock timers
on items. They also cannot earn the ability to complete a Final
Objective.
balance: Roundstart traitors can now buy the Contractor Kit from their
traitor uplink, rather than only midround traitors.
add: Traitors can buy Romerol for 25 TC, after 30 minutes of time has
passed in a round.

## About The Pull Request
As before, more fiddling with NTNRC, more bugs.
This time, the same user sending the same message within the same second
would cause this message to spawn a new copy each time the channel was
opened, until the UI was closed and re-opened.
Looking into it, this seemed to be because we would set the `Box`'s
`key` value to the message contents:
<https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/b0d71024c0c10a0d276ea3119894c27ca7adf0d0/tgui/packages/tgui/interfaces/NtosNetChat.jsx#L156>
Which isn't actually unique.
To fix this, we instead make each channel keep track of an incrementing
`id` number to assign to each message, and convert the `messages` list
to an associative list using those numerical ids stringified.
We don't just use the list index as a key, as we later may want to
target specific messages, so a consistent unique key is important.
This fixes our primary issue.
In the process of making the rest of the code account for this, I
noticed that the NTNRC program header that's supposed to show new
messages in the active channel when the program is idle didn't actually
work.
Just at all.
So I rewrote the entire thing, and it now tracks the last read message's
id rather than the full message, and sets this when you actually
background the program. The rest still runs on process tick, where it
updates the header if there's a new message with a different id on top.
Finally, the header part of the UI wasn't actually updating if there
were no headers, so now it forwards a lack of headers change as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Reduces more NTNRC jank.
Good if shit like, actually works.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: NTNRC no longer endlessly duplicates messages with duplicate
contents upon switching channels.
fix: The new message header you get when NTNRC runs in the background
actually works.
fix: NtOS header actually updates if there are no program headers.

## About The Pull Request
- SiliConnect is no longer a default app for cyborgs.
- RoboTact, the borg self-status app now has a Network tab, which lists
other borgs' status.
- The Network tab will only list borgs connected to the same AI as you.
If your AI goes down, you lose connection to other borgs' status info.
- Your AI is also listed on the Network tab, with their own status in a
very binary good/bad form.
- Syndicate borgs are able to see other syndicate borgs on the Network
list, even though they lack an AI.
## Why It's Good For The Game
SiliConnect was recently added to the default borg apps list. But it has
a lot of features that borgs can't actually use, and so feels rather
messy. It was added with the goal of letting borgs see eachother's
status, and so I've ported that functionality into RoboTact. SiliConnect
is no longer a default borg app (though it *can* be installed if a borg
and human really want it to be).
Showing the AI's status is certainly a balance choice. But it's not
really that much of a secret when the AI dying already adjusts the
monitors across the station to a BSOD image. On the flip side, we get to
shut off borg status sharing when the AI goes offline, which is neat.
## Changelog
🆑
del: SiliConnect, a tool meant for Roboticists, is no longer included by
default on borgs.
add: RoboTact, the borg self-status app, now shows the status of other
borgs synced to the same AI. Syndicate borgs can likewise see
eachother's status, even without an AI.
balance: RoboTact also shows their synced AI's very basic status of
functional or offline.

## About The Pull Request
Massive cleanup/pseudo-refactor of projectile and projectile-adjacent

## About The Pull Request
- Removes the restriction from borgs and AIs opening PDA interfaces.
- Adds a restriction on Messenger if the PDA is being viewed by an AI or
Cyborg *and* the PDA is not a silicon-type PDA. Messenger is completely
unusable in this case.
- The AI's own PDA is unaffected, due to it being a silicon-type PDA.
Downstreams that give Borg PDAs the Messenger app should likewise be
unaffected. Though mainly unrelated to the PR, pAIs were also tested and
have not been affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Back before tablets and PDAs were squished together, silicons could
access tablets freely. TGUI PDAs were restricted from Silicons mainly to
keep parity with the old PDAs, of which Messenger is the major feature
that was ported over. Thus, I'm blocking Messenger specifically while
allowing the rest of a PDA's features to be unblocked.
As an aside, the old fluff text `It doesn't feel right to snoop around
like that...` was kinda terrible, since there are many times you do, in
fact, want to snoop. The AI trying to track down a known killer's
accomplice would want to snoop. The Malf AI that's trying to trick the
Captain would want to snoop. The prior owner of the PDA before they were
borged wouldn't even feel like it's snooping. So now it's a connection
refused thing, not an AI's feelings thing.

does not work over a remote connection, however.

## About The Pull Request
This makes it so receiving a PDA message will give the holder a balloon
alert with their ringtone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
PDA messages are often ignored due to not being noticed, as many players
are more often focused on the main game screen (which runechat has
somewhat normalized) than the chat window. This makes things more
obvious that there's a PDA message.

## About The Pull Request
Just adds the NTNRC client to the pAI digital messenger software's
starting programs.
To avoid also giving this to the AI, creates a new silicon PDA subtype
for pAIs and applies it similarly to borgs.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's already barely ever used, and I just think it'd be fun to let pAIs
talk to the never-checked department consoles or open chatrooms with
each other or their hosts.
Currently you can do this by being in your host's PDA, but this means
they couldn't use their PDA at the same time as you just... chatting.
Nor could you share a chatroom with them, due to sharing the same
account.
Also the pAI cabal using the bootleg IRC client to plot their next move
is just incredibly funny to me.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: The pAI digital messenger software now includes the NTNRC
client.
