Title, flipping levers / opening linked doors feels bad.

a lot/all packet handling is serverside so this would be big

New to networking in SS, so I'll give this a go to figure it out. What I've gathered so far:

Server/Client/Shared folders determine what code runs in which compilations
Components/fields are replicated with [AutoGenerateComponentState]/ComponentHandleState Event

So imma try move InvokePort() and whatever it calls into Shared and auto replicate DeviceLinkSinkComponent as a starting point. (edit: looked at comp replication code, AutoGen is pretty chill)

Read like all existing net replication code, made hundreds of lines of changes before noticing I forgor to build the new branch to begin with so LSP was broken and I rage quit. If another newer person wants to take a shot at this, feel free but not obligated to hmu for a team up.
