Auto actions persist when cloning game, no option to disable

[davidlaughlin]

Game: https://18xx.games/game/117307

Data: https://gist.github.com/davidlaughlin/374255c8779680b7bcd89ef70375dc6e

Action: https://18xx.games/game/117307?action=563

How to Reproduce the Bug?

What steps cause the unexpected behavior?

• Set to Auto pass for all my companies in M&A rounds during multiplayer game
• Clone to hotseat game
• Play around with M&A options
• My companies are passed when choosing to merge/convert or sell
• There is no Auto tab to turn off the Auto action, but the Auto action still occurs
• I would expect all Auto actions to be cleared when cloned to a hotseat game, or have the auto tab visible so that I can configure it

Which Browser / Platform?

• Browser Version: Firefox 112.2.0 mobile, Android

repro'd, the behavior certainly an annoyance - it's across all games fwiw

It's due to auto-actions being an 'action' as part of the game state, so they get 'executed' in sequence

The workaround would be to disable them before cloning the game (which may or may not be possible if they are set by other players)

We'll look into stripping them from the game state when cloning, which would fix this issue
