About the PR
All PDAs now include the manifest program. This PR also removes the manifest program from all cartridges.
Why's this needed?
Being able to know which departments are actively staffed is rather useful for all crewmembers, and it saves people from having to ask for a printed copy of the manifest or having a copy of the program sent over.
I've heard from some folks that there'd be concerns over the viability of infiltration from hostile actors with this change if the (constantly updating) manifest was made available, so I'd love to see some more feedback and perhaps a testmerge run to gauge the impact. From my perspective, even on a good day most people hardly even check, and plenty of stowaways/crewmembers who otherwise don't have records don't seem to throw things off too much in this regard. It'd be interesting if, in the future, more ways to mess with or spoof records were available to the antagonist factions.
This proposal sets aside the potential meta concern of having the manifest available to players who haven't joined the current round, as with other servers.
Testing
Compiled and tested, PDAs still sit comfortably under the storage drive maximum with 28/32.
