About The Pull Request
Ports and improves my interview system that has been previously used in the summer ball and toolbox tournament events. Allows for a 'softer' panic bunker, wherein players who fall below the required living time limit can still join the server and be restricted to filling out a questionnaire. Upon completing the questionnaire, the player may be allowed into the server by an administrator. If the application is approved, they get a notification that they will be reconnected and upon reconnecting will have all verbs as they usually would. If the application is denied the user is put on a cooldown after which they may submit a new questionnaire.
Players who are being interviewed (herein interviewees) have no verbs other than those required for the stat panel to function, as well as a verb to pull up the interview panel. Interviews do not persist through restarts, and the ability to join that is granted by an accepted interview is only valid for the duration of that round.
Open interviews are listed under a new 'interviews' tab for admins, which is VERY similar to the existing tickets tab.
Below is what a player who is flagged as an interviewee will see when they join the server. They can do nothing but respond to the questionnaire or leave.

This is what an administrator sees after an interview is submitted, they will also see a corresponding message within their chatbox, and an age-old BWOINK when an interview is submitted.

The interviews tab, which is similar to the tickets menu. You can open the interview manager panel to view all active (including non-submitted) interviews, queued (submitted) interviews, and closed interviews.

FAQ:
What happens if someone submits an interview when no admins are on? It's treated like adminhelps are, the message gets sent to TGS to be dispatched off to configured end-points (like Discord or IRC), and the user is notified that their interview was handled this way.
Can you configure the questions? Yes, in config/ there is now a interviews.txt file in which the welcome message and the individual questions can be set and modified.
Can this be turned on and off during a round? Yes, it can be toggled like the panic bunker. It requires the panic bunker to be raised in order to function.
Can interviewees have further questions asked to them? Yes, if you admin-pm them, which is possible using regular means or a conveniently placed button on the interview UI, they will be able to respond to the message.
Technical details
To use the interview system you must have the panic bunker enabled, this is an additional setting for the panic bunker. It can be set through the PANIC_BUNKER_INTERVIEW setting in config.txt, or alternatively enabled in-game as prompted during the panic bunker toggling process. It also can be toggled on its own using a verb added for this purpose, Toggle PB Interviews found under the server tab. These new actions are included in the logging for the panic bunker. I have also added a reporting stat to the world topic status keyword, which now reports if the interview system is on using the keyword interviews.
As mentioned above, for server operators, configure the questions and welcome message in config/interviews.txt.
Note to maintainers and those with big brains I had to add a call to init_verbs on the stat panel window being ready because seemingly a race condition exists wherein the add_verb of the 'view my interview' verb doesn't cause a refresh of the tabs (and therefore doesn't show the 'Interview' tab) when running in dream daemon but running it directly from visual studio code properly shows the tab. Adding a init_verbs call directly after adding the verb didn't seem to help.
A note for downstreams
If you don't use the HTML stat panel (which may not be a bad thing) then you will have to do some conversion from the HTML stat panel stuff used here to the old style stat panels. It's pretty trivial, but just be aware of that. You can see how I used to use the old stat panels in my PR from the summer ball, here, which should be helpful.
Why It's Good For The Game
This allows for a softer version of the panic bunker which impedes the flow of malicious players while allowing genuine players a chance to enter a round to gain enough time to not be affected by the panic bunker's restrictions.
Changelog
🆑 bobbahbrown
add: Added the interview system, a 'soft' panic bunker which lets players who would normally be blocked from joining be interviewed by admins to be selectively allowed to play.
/🆑
This is a pretty big change all around. The gist of it is that it moves the mobility_flags into traits or variables that can track the sources, and to which we can append code to react to the events, be it via signals or via on_event-like procs.
For example, MOBILITY_STAND could mean, depending on context, that the mob is either already standing or that it may be able to stand, and thus is lying down.
There was a lot of snowflakery and redefinitions on top of redefinitions, so this is bound to create bugs I'm willing to fix as I learn them.
The end-goal is for every living mob to use the same mobility system, for the traits to mean the same among them, and for no place to just mass-change settings without a way to trace it, such as with mobility_flags = NONE and mobility_flags = ALL
Fixes AIs being able to strip nearby people. They've lost their hands usage.

Aiming to implement the framework oranges has detailed in https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19102
Moves canmove to a bitflag in a new variable called mobility_flags, that will allow finer grain control of what someone can do codewise, for example, letting them move but not stand up, or stand up but not move.
Adds Immobilize()d status effect that freezes movement but does not prevent anything else.
Adds Paralyze()d which is oldstun "You can't do anything at all and knock down).
Stun() will now prevent any item/UI usage and movement (which is similar to before).
Knockdown() will now only knockdown without preventing item usage/movement.
People knocked down will be able to crawl at softcrit-speeds
Refactors some /mob variables and procs to /mob/living.
update_canmove() refactored to update_mobility() and will handle mobility_flags instead of the removed canmove
cl
rscadd: Crawling is now possible if you are down but not stunned. Obviously, you will be slower.
/cl
Refactors are done. I'd rather get this merged faster than try to fine tune stuff like slips. The most obvious gameplay effect this pr has will be crawling, and I believe I made tiny tweaks but I can't find it Anything I missed or weird behavior should be reported.
