Property worlds now give their property reputation for the time other people spend on it, which
fills the property lists and the news screen's Today's Top Properties. Visitors are counted per
account; the owner's account, accounts linked to it and staff don't count. A visit earns nothing
for the first property_reputation_min_visit seconds (WorldConfig's propertyReputationDelay), then
each active minute (the visitor moved) earns reputationPerMinute times a multiplier, for a capped
number of minutes per visit. Repeat visitors earn less the more recent days they already gave
reputation, and each visitor and each property have a daily cap. Every parameter is a setting;
what each account gave each property per day is kept in property_reputation_visits. The rules are
pure functions with unit tests.

Off unless property_rent_enabled is on. Each property world's rent comes from its PropertyTemplate
row (minimumPrice every rentDuration x durationType; Block Yard is free), unless the new Property
Rent dashboard page sets another price or period (property_rent_manage). Rent is taken from the
owner's coins shortly after their character loads, with a mail receipt; unpaid rent is mailed and,
after property_rent_grace_days, makes the property private until it is paid, like live. The
property management component refuses public or best friends privacy while rent is overdue and a
property world that loads overdue makes itself private. Property game messages are unchanged.

Staff list contraband items on a new dashboard page (item search, reason, flag or flag and remove;
contraband_manage to edit, reports_view to see). World servers check every inventory when a
character loads and every item a player receives: each find is an economy flag of the new kind
Contraband, shown with the other flags and in the character's related data. Items marked for
removal are taken away, with a character snapshot kept first so they can be given back, an audit
entry and a mail or chat message telling the player why. Staff are skipped unless
contraband_ignore_staff is off. Worlds reload the list when it changes (RELOAD_CONTRABAND, added
at the end of ePlayerAction).

Opening a zone the first time built its terrain, scene objects and manifests
and ran ImageMagick on the web thread, stalling the dashboard for seconds.
- Workers: the shared pool plus Workers::Reply (answer at once when built,
else from a worker via Web::Defer).
- terrain_chunks/terrain_layers/scene/paths/scenery/flairs (world3d, property
and showcase routes) and terrain textures go through it; results are built
once in OnceCaches, the .raw is read once per zone for chunks, layers and
flairs, deflated bodies are cached thread-safely.
- ImageMagick conversions are deduplicated and written under a temporary name.
- Workers don't query the CDClient, read settings or call mongoose: ZoneTable,
render components, flairs, object names, LOT kinds and terrain texture names
are read at startup; client_location is read once; base64 is plain C++.
- Logger writes one line at a time (mutex; localtime's buffer is shared).

Every MASTER service packet is now an LUBitStream struct (docs/PacketArchitecture.md,
PR 14) and the master server's switch is a dispatch map (PacketDispatcher), as are the
master handlers of the world, chat and dashboard servers.
- dNet/MasterPackets.h: RequestZoneTransfer, RequestZoneTransferResponse, ServerInfo,
RequestSessionKey, SetSessionKey, SessionKeyResponse, NewSessionAlert, PlayerAdded /
PlayerRemoved, CreatePrivateZone, RequestPrivateZone (passwords still cut to 50
characters when read), WorldReady, WorldReadyInfo (WORLD_READY to the dashboard),
PrepZone, Shutdown, ShutdownResponse, WorldShutDown (SHUTDOWN_RESPONSE to the
dashboard), ShutdownUniverse, AffirmTransferRequest/Response, RequestServerList,
ServerListResponse, DashboardShutdown, ConfigReload, InstanceShutdown. The Send*
functions are gone; MasterPackets::SendToMaster(msg) and SendTo(sysAddr, msg) send a
struct.
- The dashboard and instance migration structs (PlayerAction, DataChanged, Dashboard
messages, MessageCapture, InstanceMigration) are LUBitStreams of the MASTER service now
and moved to dNet/master/, included by MasterPackets.h. Their payloads are unchanged;
master forwards them by re-serializing the struct instead of copying raw bytes.
- InstanceManager, ZoneInstanceManager, MigrationCoordinator, dServer (server info, zone
transfer response), auth (SET_SESSION_KEY), the world (session keys, player added and
removed, world ready, shutdown response, affirmations, prep zone, shutdown universe) and
the dashboard (server list, instance shutdown, config reload, announcements, player
actions, message capture) send and read structs.
- The login stamps are a `stamps` field of RequestZoneTransfer and
RequestZoneTransferResponse (read leniently as before: a message without them reads as
empty); master adds its stamps in the REQUEST_ZONE_TRANSFER handler and when it answers,
as it did.
- InstanceManager::GetInstanceBySysAddr takes a const address.
Verified: tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/MasterPacketsLegacy.h is a verbatim copy of
the old writers and readers; MasterPacketsTests requires identical bytes for a grid of
inputs, checks the old readers read what the structs write, round trips and truncation,
hand written golden packets, that zone transfers without stamps still read, that the dashboard/migration structs write what
"header + Serialize" wrote, and that the dispatcher drops truncated packets. No wire
bytes changed.

The dashboard's web server answers one request at a time, so converting a big
.nif (glom files up to tens of MB) held up every other request, flairs included.
- dWeb: Web::Defer hands a request to another thread; the reply is sent from the
web thread on its next poll (DeferredQueue). A client that leaves first cancels
it and the late reply is dropped. The synchronous route API is unchanged.
- Web::Shutdown closes connections while the state their close events touch is
still alive; the destructor no longer runs handlers during static destruction
(stopping the dashboard aborted in ~WSClient).
- WorkerPool: priority lanes, with one thread only for urgent work (flairs,
small models, textures), and limited background work.
- Scenery: mesh and texture routes (and the showcase's) convert on the pool;
thread-safe memory and disk caches, one conversion per model at a time with
waiters sharing it; zones are converted ahead onto the disk cache while viewed.
- Setting scenery_workers (0: half the cores, 2 to 4).

- Leave staff out of the currency and U-score reports by excluding the few staff characters,
instead of joining every ledger row to its character and account.
- Top earners: total per character first and look up names for the top rows only.
- The places list and the activity report read map events for every kind in one query
(GetMapZonesAllKinds) instead of one query per kind.
With about 1M currency rows and 650k map event rows (90 days) on MariaDB: currency 1.8 s to
0.8 s, top earners 2.4 s to 0.75 s, places 2.6 s to 0.5 s, activity 2.6 s to 1.7 s.

mysqldump was given --host=tcp --port=//host:port for the tcp:// form the servers accept, so
backups failed. Read mysql_host the way the servers connect with it: tcp://host:port (a trailing
/database is dropped), unix:// as --socket and pipe:// as a named pipe.

The picker's EXISTS on ComponentsRegistry (no index) took 2 to 4 s with the bundled SQLite for the
treasure kinds; the same filter as IN takes under 10 ms.

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.
