pda messaging real (DeltaV #2362)

[dvir001]

About the PR

adds pda messaging

each id card gets assigned a random 4 digit number using nameidentifier system (same system used for things like mobs), this number is used as your chat id rather than anything player facing like character names

the app ui has a left panel showing all your contacts with unread indicators, and a right panel showing the current chat conversation with bubble messages like a phone app, messages show in grey for others and green for your own messages

messages are stored directly on the id card component as two dictionaries - one for recipients (storing name/job/unread status) and one for the actual message history, both sender and receiver keep full copies of conversations

to prevent metagaming the system checks if both pdas have active telecomms connection and are on same station (unless using long range radio channel), failed messages show with a red error indicator

the detective's logprobe can scan an ID card and "connect" to it, allowing them to spy on people and view their recipients and messages in real time

interesting mechanics include:

• agent IDs can be used to impersonate others (they copy message conversation when you scan an ID, you can also change your number)
• microwaving an id has 10% chance to wipe all messages, or randomly scramble message text and reassign conversations between contacts
• message delivery requires working telecomms and respects radio blocking
• notifications show truncated message previews up to 64 chars
• contacts remember job titles from id cards (only if you message someone you dont know first)
• messages store timestamps for rebuilding conversation order
• supports up to 50 contacts per card
• messages limited to 256 chars

Could you preserve the original PR notes here as well?? I know you linked them but just for preservation's sake, it would be nice to have it documented here as well

Fixed

its an interesting choice storing the data on the ID card and not onto the PDA itself. After thinking on it, it may be better this way functionally because then a criminal while incarcerated can be given a clear/empty PDA and their own ID card to still have communication rights.

Sending messages currently does not work between grids or while floating in space, which is a problem on frontier.

Thanks for the info, should be easy to fix soon with global changes
