### Summary
Updates all calls to container.EnumerateItems() to properly dispose of the underlying PooledRefQueue so that we are properly recycling pooled arrays.
Fix [add command failing with ambiguous type names + refactor for performance
### Problem
[add blight would fail with "No type with that name was found" because multiple types contain "blight" (e.g., Server.Items.Blight, Server.Ethics.Evil.Blight, Server.Items.BlightGrippedLongbow, Server.Items.QuiverOfBlight). The old code only succeeded when exactly one type matched the search regardless of constructability and inheriting Mobi les/Items.
### Solution
Exact match takes priority: If a type's name exactly equals the search string (case-insensitive), use it directly. Otherwise, show the AddGump with all partial matches.
- [add blight → Creates Blight (exact name match)
- [add bligh → Shows gump with Blight, BlightGrippedLongbow, etc.
### Refactoring
- CommandEventArgs context: Added GetContext<T>/SetContext<T> to pass resolved type through the command chain without method signature changes
- Removed TrySetupTarget duplication: Validation now happens only in ValidateArgs, eliminating redundant code paths
- Split type matching:
- ExactMatch(string) → Returns Type for exact name match (used by [add)
- MatchEmptyCtor(string) → Returns ConstructorInfo[] for gump display (empty-callable constructors only)
### Memory & Performance Improvements
| Optimization | Benefit |
|-------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| _mobileItemTypes cache | Filters Mobile/Item types once per assembly, reused on all subsequent searches |
| ReadOnlySpan<string> for args | Avoids string[] heap allocations when slicing arguments |
| ValueStringBuilder | Stack-allocated string building, avoids StringBuilder heap allocation |
| Single type resolution | Type resolved once in ValidateArgs, passed via context to Execute (was resolved 2-3x before) |
### Summary
- Adds [Code Generated Events](https://github.com/modernuo/CodeGeneratedEvents)
- Removes EventSink.PlayerDeath
- Adds `PlayerDeathEvent` and `CreatureDeathEvent` using code generated events
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> Use `[OnEvent(nameof(PlayerMobile.PlayerDeathEvent))]` instead of `EventSink.PlayerDeath` delegate
> Check this commit for examples of how to use this.
> [!Important]
> **Developer Note**
> This code change will **completely move gumps out of the core**
### Summary
- Adds `GetGumps()` convenience which exposes methods to Find/Close/Send multiple gumps. This helper is a performance improvement by eliminating the Dictionary<Player, List> lookup for gumps.
### Summary
- Fixes an issue that causes CUO to crash due to bad string caching in static gumps
- Fixes wrong/bad 16bit html gump hues.
- Moves `C16232` (16-bit to 32-bit) and `C32216` (32-bit to 16-bit) to Utility class for broader use.
TODO:
- Some gumps have different 32bit (for string content) vs 16bit (for localized content) strings. Does this matter?
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Please read through these changes, as they changed certain expectations for how the internal AI thinking/movement work.
> Note that some mobs still don't have smooth movement on ClassicUO due to how the client handles animations/movement.
### Summary
- **Important Change**: Mobs will now move at a more regular pace. If the OnThink results in a move, but the cooldown would otherwise prevent the move, then the movement is scheduled on another timer.
- Added a 400ms delay to mobs turning to face a player to attack in order to avoid glitching between moving and turning.
- Reverted AI thinking speeds back to RunUO specific speeds.
- Reverted the AI thinking to moving conversion delays back to RunUO.
- For thinking speeds that are not exactly the predefined speeds from RunUO, there is a new calculation to determine the correct conversion to movement speed. This stops speeds like `0.35` from being faster than `0.3`
> [!NOTE]
> **Developer Note**
> BaseAI.CheckMove() no longer contains the check for whether or not a mob is on movement cooldown. This function can now be overwritten without causing issues to figuring out that cooldown.
### Summary
- Fixes `[AdvancedSearch` being accessible by players 😱
- Adds `[GenCommands` to generate the same commands html page on https://muo.gg/commands.
- Fixes `[helpinfo` so all commands properly show up!
> [!WARNING]
> ### Developer Warning:
> Commands must now be registered in the `Configure` bootup phase.
> If a command is not registered early enough, it may not be available to systems like [helpinfo
> that cache their information.
> [!NOTE]
> ### Developer Note:
> Various commands related to generating content have been changed to _Developer_ and above access level.

### Summary
* Fixes syntax compile error when THREADGUARD is enabled.
* Removes `int packetLength` from incoming packet handles since they aren't needed.
### Developer Notes
Incoming packet handler `SpanReader` is now properly scoped to that packet by length.
### Summary
Modifying a ValueLinkList using one of the methods will bump the "version". This field is used by iterators (foreach loops) to determine if the link list was modified while iterating. The sector.Items (and in the future other lists), will no longer be safe to modify while iterating. The server will _CRASH_ if the ValueLinkList is modified.
Thanks to @stefanomerotta for help!

### Summary
Eliminates `IPooledEnumerable<T>` and `eable.Free()` from `Map` for items. This drastically simplifies code that iterates in range, for example:
```cs
foreach (var item in m.GetItemsInRange(5))
{
}
```
The code above no longer requires an eable and calling `Free()`.
## Breaking Changes
Incoming packet registration signature has changed to:
```cs
delegate* void OnReceiveCallback(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength);
IncomingPackets.Register(int packetID, int length, bool ingame, OnReceiveCallback onReceive);
```
For example, an incoming packet handler signature would now look like this:
```cs
public static void SomeIncomingPacket(NetState state, SpanReader reader, int packetLength)
{
// Parse the data
}
```
## Summary
Updates the network Pipe class to use a mirrored memory technique. This technique involves mapping the same physical memory to two contiguous virtual memory spaces so the byte buffer appears duplicated. This allows writing to a double-sized array to wrap around without the need for the `CircularBuffer` classes.
In practice this allows us to use `Span<byte>` as if the buffer was a regular array.
### Bug Fixes
- [X] Fixes bad fixed length string parsing
### 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.
## MAJOR CHANGE (API BREAKING)
Moved the virtues to it's own system _VirtueSystem_. This should make it easier to extend or remove the virtue system. Virtues will be saved to a new folder called _Virtues_.
### Motivation
The motivation was also two-fold, performance/stability, and to fix bugs.
First, virtues is the second system (first is murders), that has a pre-world-save check on _every mobile in the game_ to atrophy virtue stats. This is taxing since it freexes the world and makes world saves take longer. Every mobile had Gain/Loss dates for each virtue, whether they needed them or not. Most players don't even use the virtue system, so this will increase performance considerably.
Second, when I tried to optimize/refactor the code, I found several bugs that needed to be fixed.
### Major API Changes
- [X] The properties on players related to virtues are gone. Use `pm.GetVirtues()?.<PropertyName>` instead.
- [X] Virtues were removed from non-player Mobiles.
- [X] `pm.JusticeProtectors` was removed. Use `JusticeVirtue.GetProtector()` or `JusticeVirtue.GetProtected()` instead.

### BREAKING CHANGE ###
The constructor for `TextDefinition` has been removed. Instead use `TextDefinition.Of()` or cast the integer/string to TextDefinition.
**Only one functional change**
* Fixes a bug in LogFactory where `Warning` is being logged as `Information`
Non-functional changes:
* Updates/Fixes copyright headers
* Removes namespace scopes for core files.

## Breaking Changes (New API)
ObjectPropertyList supports the following API:
```cs
list.Add(500000);
list.Add(500001, stringArgument);
list.Add("Some text");
list.Add($"Some text with {argument}");
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
## Notes
1. All API uses that require a formatter like this:
```cs
list.Add(500002, "{0}\t{1}", arg1, arg2);
```
Should be changed to use string interpolation, for example:
```cs
list.Add(500002, $"{arg1}\t{arg2}");
```
2. The following paradigm should no longer be used:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, prop.ToString()); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```
The new string interpolation API will avoid having to convert the argument to a string before writing it to the packet. Instead use the following:
```cs
list.Add(1061170, $"{prop}"); // strength requirement ~1_val~
```

### Changes
- [X] Removes crash in STArray.Return when array is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in OPL when entity is null. Serial in packet will be 0 when entity is null.
- [X] Fixes NPE in AosAttributes when Parent is null.
- [X] Changes OPL to use string interpolation.
- [X] Introduces `IPropertyList` to allow extending PropertyList for other uses.
* Removes scaled speed by dex for monsters
* Changes scaled speed by dex for pets (HS+ expansion) to be 400ms -> 100ms between 50 -> 200 dex
* Removes speed changes that were broken for various mobs
* Combines "Legacy" speed and renames the class to `NPCSpeeds`
* Creates speed "classes" (slow, medium, fast, very fast)
* Introduces a new overridable property `SpeedClass`. Register a new speed class using `NPCSpeeds.Register()` and then set the speed class to bulk/mass apply speeds.
Order of speed determination:
1. SpeedMod
2. SpeedClass property (not null)
3. SpeedClass entry in Data\npc-speeds.json for that type
4. "Fast" (200ms Active, 400ms Passive)
* Adds the following configurations:
* `movement.delay.npcMinDelay` - 0.1 - Pets or Non-monster NPCs
* `movement.delay.npcMaxDelay` - 0.4 - Pets or Non-monster NPCs
* `movement.delay.monsterMinDelay` - 0.4 - Non-pet Monsters or NPC vs Player Combat
* `movement.delay.monsterMaxDelay` - 0.8 - Non-pet Monsters or NPC vs Player Combat
* `movement.delay.monsterMinDex` - 150 - Dex maximum for delay by dex
* `movement.delay.MinDex` - 190 - Dex maximum for delay by dex
Fixes an issue with DropReq where an old client was sending in 14 bytes, but the server was expecting 15 bytes.
To fix this we introduced a new packet handler, `ContainerGridPacketHandler` and changed the code to determine the length of the packet dynamically using `GetLength(NetState)`.
Also fixed throttling so dropped packets are properly skipped.
