Short description

Stops you from BECOMING A GHOST ROLE ANTAG midround, and also stops borgs from rolling antags.

Needs #5847. They don't particularly rely on eachother, but that one started converting things to use partials, and I continued that work here, so might as well merge them sequentially.

Why we need to add this

God has forsaken antag selection.

diff looks scary but its actually just me moving things to partials

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Purpose

  • Prevent players from becoming ghost-role antagonists during the round.
  • Prevent borgs from being selected as antagonists while allowing xenoborgs.
  • Move Starlight antagonist-selection logic into partial implementations.
  • Improve antagonist-selection logging and metrics.

Gameplay and user impact

  • Midround ghost-role antagonist assignment now excludes banned or low-playtime players.
  • Antagonist preferences do not affect ghost-role eligibility.
  • Borg chassis entities cannot roll as antagonists.
  • Antagonist targets receive enforcement through weighted player selection, replacement handling, and ghost-role trimming.
  • Pre-selections that fail validation are released and replaced when possible.

Notable upstream-file changes

  • AntagSelectionSystem removes Starlight-specific selection logic from the upstream files.
  • New Starlight partials contain target enforcement, selection metrics, replacement queues, profile validation, job restrictions, and pre-selection helpers.
  • Antagonist assignment can now return the selected AntagSpecifierPrototype for late-join tracking.
  • Rule selection timing now controls whether the system assigns antagonists or spawns ghost roles.

Risk areas

  • Changes to ActiveTick, target enforcement, and replacement queues can affect antagonist counts and round-start selection.
  • Removing helpers and moving public APIs between partial files can affect callers and create merge conflicts with the dependency on PR #5847.
  • Borg and xenoborg component checks depend on correct entity composition.
  • Ghost-role trimming and retry logic can alter available roles during a running round.
  • Prometheus metric lifecycle and round-restart cleanup require careful validation.

Guideline gaps

  • The PR context does not state why ordinary borgs are invalid antagonists while xenoborgs remain valid.
  • The PR context does not document the design impact of moving the APIs and logic into Starlight partials.
  • The changed public API surface and compatibility expectations are not documented.
  • The PR context does not identify Starlight ownership comments or explain the Shared-first boundary.
  • The PR context does not mention localization impact; the available summary does not identify new player-facing text.

Walkthrough

The change splits Starlight antagonist APIs into partial files, updates profile and entity validation, records selected definitions for late joins, routes selection times, adds target enforcement and replacement handling, and introduces selection metrics with round-restart cleanup.

Changes

Antagonist selection flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Eligibility and selection APIs
Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.API.Starlight.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.API.Assignment.Starlight.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.cs
Starlight APIs validate profiles, expose ghost-role eligibility, calculate effective player counts, merge job restrictions, and collect preselected antagonist specifiers.
Assignment validation and recording
Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.API.Assignment.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.API.Assignment.Starlight.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.Starlight.cs
Assignment rejects ordinary borg chassis entities, returns the selected definition internally, and records late-join assignments.
Selection lifecycle and replacements
Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.Starlight.cs
Selection-time routing, failed preselection release, replacement queues, active target enforcement, and ghost-role fallback handling are implemented.
Metrics, logging, and cleanup
Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.cs, Content.Server/Antag/AntagSelectionSystem.Starlight.cs
Selection statistics, per-definition metrics, late-join counters, metric cleanup, and selected-loadout resolution are implemented.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6831c

Ghost-role assignment can currently bypass session and conflict checks, potentially giving a player an additional or conflicting antagonist role; this should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. A localized Starlight region placement issue also needs cleanup.
