Research direction
The issue lists multiple crash scenarios: jumping to people, networks, AI core, new cyborg joining, and strange interactions in space tiles. Start by examining the AI movement and interaction code in the repository (likely in 'code/game/ai.dm' or similar). Look for potential null references, improper turf handling, and memory leaks. The screenshot shows visual artifacts in space tiles, so check rendering and turf related code. Review the comments for any specific additional details. The memory leak suspicion suggests checking for unmanaged object references in the BYOND environment.
