## Summary
Adopts ModernUO.Serialization 4.0.0 across the engine. Three commits, reviewable independently:
1. **Package + tool bump to 4.0.0** (`Server.csproj`, `UOContent.csproj`, `dotnet-tools.json`).
2. **Timers → `[DeserializeTimer]`** — the 8 drifting timers (BaseLight, TreasureMapChest, MarkContainer, FillableContainer, DeathRobe, DecayedCorpse, Corpse, BaseEscortable) now store their next tick as **anchored time**: server downtime no longer consumes the remaining delay, and idle-world saves are byte-stable. This changes their wire format, so each class bumps its serialization version with a `MigrateFrom` that replays the old delta-time read through the migration schema (the new `vN.json` files carry `@AnchoredTimer`; the old ones keep `@TimerDrift`, which the generator reads forever). The 2 wall-clock timers (Aquarium, FountainOfLife) keep their exact format via `wallClock: true` — no bump. Restart methods drop their `TimeSpan.MinValue` sentinel checks: v4 invokes them **only when a timer was actually running at save**.
3. **Linkage → field-side declarations** — 175 conversions across 25 files: `[SerializableFieldSaveFlag(order)]`/`[SerializableFieldDefault(order)]` become `[SaveFlag(nameof(...), nameof(...))]` on the field, and `[SerializableFieldChanged(order)]` becomes the `fieldChanged:` argument of `[SerializableField]`. **Wire-neutral: zero migration schemas changed.**
## Verification
- Solution builds with **0 errors, 0 warnings**; all three 4.0.0 packages verified indexed on nuget.org (no local feed needed).
- **835 + 708 tests green.**
- Generated output inspected: old-version content structs replay `ReadDeltaTime` (e.g. `V3Content.DecayTimerNext = reader.ReadDeltaTime()`), current versions write/read anchored time with the gated restart, and the wall-clock classes emit byte-identical `Write`/`ReadDateTime` framing.
- Schema tool run is committed (CI's `git diff --exit-code` schema check passes): exactly the 8 expected new `vN.json` files, nothing else touched.
- The conversion was scripted with a class-scoped resolver (order → same-class `[SerializableField(order)]`/`[SerializableProperty(order)]`); it planned 175/175 with zero ambiguities before applying.
## Notes
- New `MigrateFrom`s use the content structs' provided `XxxDelay` property, matching the pre-existing idiom in Corpse's and TreasureMapChest's older migrations.
- Follow-up candidate (separate PR, wire-neutral, any time): fold the ~150 eligible hand-written `[SerializableProperty]` setters (clamps, post-change side effects) down to `[SerializableField]` with `allowFieldChange`/`fieldChanged` hooks.
* Initial plan
* Add SerializableFieldDefault attributes for LeftSeeds and LeftResources
This fixes the serialization bug where _leftSeeds and _leftResources were initialized to 8 in the constructor but didn't serialize when their value was 0. Upon deserialization, the constructor would run again and reset these values back to 8.
The SerializableFieldDefault attributes tell the serialization system that the default value is 8, so it will properly serialize 0 values and maintain the correct state across server restarts.

* Update ShouldSerialize methods to check against default value
Changed ShouldSerializeLeftSeeds() and ShouldSerializeLeftResources() to check if the value is != 8 (the default) instead of != 0. This ensures that only non-default values are serialized, following the same pattern used in BaseWeapon.cs and other classes with SerializableFieldDefault attributes.

## Summary
### Changes
- Adds `[IgnoreDupe]` and `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]`
- Updates all _known_ classes that need the attribute. Some might be missing, please helps us find them!
- Adds `Item.Dupe()` command and encapsulates `CopyProperties` and `OnAfterDuped`. This is also overridable.
- Updates Dupe command to use the new logic.
- Fixes duping multiple kinds of objects that used to be outright broken.
### Bug Fixes
- Fixes issue with durability after duping
- Fixes issue with hue after duping
> [!Note]
> **Developer Note**
> Customizing how duping an item works now requires two steps:
> 1. Add `[IgnoreDupe]` or `[SerializedIgnoreDupe]` to the property/field
> 2. Add custom logic in an `OnAfterDuped` override
>
> When do you need to do this?
> *When the property being copied is not a primitive, and you need to manually deep-clone the contents of the property such as with Lists, Dictionaries, or sub classes.*
### Summary
Container enumeration is in dire need of optimization. Thanks to @stefanomerotta for initiating this work with PR #1443. This PR handles a small part of what Stefan started. Also included are some bug fixes.
### Method Signatures
```cs
// Use with foreach without moving/deleting items
FindItemsByTypeEnumerator<T> FindItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use with foreach when moving/deleting items
QueuedItemsEnumerator<T> EnumerateItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use when iterating multiple times or queuing
PooledRefQueue<T> QueueItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
// Use when iterating multiples times or manipulating elements without traversing
PooledRefList<T> ListItemsByType<T>(bool recurse = true, Predicate<T> predicate = null)
```
* `FindItemsByType<T>` has changed from returning `List<T>` to `FindItemsByTypeEnumerator<T>` - This method is not safe to use in situations where an item may get consumed, deleted, or moved.
* `EnumerateItemsByType<T>` was added as a safe way to iterate and manipulate items.
* **Note**: EnumerateItemsByType will _completely traverse the container_ before iteration starts because it uses `QueueItemsByType` under the hood.
* `QueueItemsByType<T>` and `ListItemsByType<T>` was added to return a queue or list of items to iterate multiple times and manipulate the items. This isn't the most efficient since it uses a predicate and can result in 2 or 3 total iterations unnecessarily.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fishing had an error in the random check that may have caused slight bias.
- [X] Caches DateTime.NowUtc on the game loop (not other threads)
- [X] Replaces all locations where it makes sense
- [X] Adds Min/Max for `IComparable` (TimeSpan, DateTimes, etc)
Closes#261
- [X] Removes all save strategies
- [X] Removes duplicate file writer that won't be used
- [X] Removes persistence (it will become a duplicate system)
- [X] Add a save position variable to skip serializing a clean item/mobile
- [X] Update Guilds/Accounts to be IEntity types
- Because guilds are abstract, this may make serialization tricky.
- [X] Update the generalized IEntity writing
- [X] Update the load/save to write to buffers then to files in background
