Week 76: New music and displaying queued commands

Queued commands are shown in the HUD,
and you can inspect them to see phantom indicators.

tl;dr: Last week I made new music and a system for displaying, inspecting, and cancelling queued bot commands.

What happened last week?

Highlights

• I continued with job interviews.
• I created more music.
