pack -- turn pack Cadence on or off (convoy vs full solo)
Pack Cadence is how preferred packmates (Winchesters, Scooby, bonded players) convoy needs, trail the same haunt/hunt/dungeon, reunite when apart, and -- when you are already with someone mid-job -- trail in idle under their lead (help idlemode).
How you play
1. pack -- show on/off + stamped packmates
2. pack off -- full solo: peel follow/companion glue, clear
login trail-idle, run your own hunger/thirst/sleep/hygiene, take your own board/haunt/dungeon jobs. Packmates with Cadence still on stop counting you in their convoy.
3. pack on -- restore convoy / trail / reunite
4. echo pack off -- same master switch (kept in sync)
Sometimes you just want everyone to do their own thing. pack off turns the whole layer off for your body.
What turns off
Login mission-defer idle, Duty convoy ("burger rule"), trail-mission glue, pack reunite walks, auto-beckon pack follow, Obligation rise from being apart. Solo needs and solo missions still run so Cadence keeps finishing work.
What stays
Your preferred_packmates stamps and pack_* personality traits -- pack on uses them again. Manual follow / beckon / group still work when you type them.
