Just a set of small fixes and messaging clarifications for decking.
The maximum number of Hacking Pool dice that can be added to any test is equal to the base number of skill dice in use. (SR3, pg 44).
When attempting to logon to an adjacent host, the System Access Node (SAN) may be encrypted, and may be decrypted by targeting the exit's name. In the mud, this is handled as the destination host's access subsystem being encrypted. When a decker is attempting to pass through the SAN during the midnight hour, in order to prevent the SAN from being repeatedly re-encrypted by matrix_update, we need the destination host to check for the presence of deckers in surrounding hosts.

Related to 1, but which I have not been able to figure out, is why GET_MAX_HACKING seems to be running into an unusually low cap every mud hour. See https://discord.com/channels/564618629467996170/1055553152230899792
