Client module idea: prey analog design (#3113)

Looking for a second pair of eyes before we tag a release. Scripts are Lua-only so far; no C++ patches in this branch. Environment: Ubuntu 22.04, 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, MariaDB 10.11. Any safer pattern for rolling this out without wiping houses?

I would pin a status endpoint and keep Cloudflare off the game port.

Consider feature-flagging it for premium only during the first week.

For Windows hosts, mark the service recovery options or it will not auto-restart.

Try indexing the player storage lookups; it helped our spawn scripts.

We documented a similar path in our ops notes last month.
