Fix error in recall.lua when switching armies in non-team games.

[lL1l1]

Description of the proposed changes

Fixes the following errors seen at version 929507f when switching from a player army to a civilian army, and then back again.

warning: Error running lua script: ...\lua\sim\recall.lua(143): call expected but got table
         stack traceback:
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(143): in function `ArmyRecallRequestCooldown'
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(484): in function <...\lua\sim\recall.lua:475>

warning: Error running lua script: ...\lua\sim\recall.lua(101): attempt to perform arithmetic on local `lastPlayerRequest' (a nil value)
         stack traceback:
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(101): in function <...\lua\sim\recall.lua:92>
         	(tail call): ?
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(476): in function <...\lua\sim\recall.lua:475>

After the thread errors, it is killed and the following error occurs when switching again:

warning: Attempted to resume a thread that was already killed
         stack traceback:
         	[C]: in function `ResumeThread'
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(492): in function `SyncRecallStatus'
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(434): in function `ResyncRecallVoting'
         	...\lua\sim\recall.lua(44): in function `OnArmyChange'
         	...\lua\simsync.lua(161): in function `NoteFocusArmyChanged'

These errors were caused by #7237, since it made LastRecallVoteTime no longer exist as a field in the brain in non-team games. It was expected to be fine since non-team games weren't running the main recall thread anyway, but it ended up being that the thread gets run upon switching armies.
since it disabled the LastRecallVoteTime being a field in the brain, which was expected to be fine since no threads were meant to run in that scenario, but the changes didn't account for logic run by army switching.

I went with reverting #7237 and instead putting the TeamGame condition in ArmyRecallRequestCooldown because a script may change ScenarioInfo.TeamGame, at which point all the recall infrastructure needs to exist and run normally.

Testing done on the proposed changes

The errors no longer occur when switching between armies.
The recall button is disabled in a non-teamgame scenario.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improved status synchronization and handling of invalid status updates during recall initialization.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Recall initialization now runs for all game types. Recall requests reject disabled or non-team scenarios. Status synchronization recreates destroyed threads. A changelog entry documents the fix.

Changes

Recall scenario handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recall initialization and scenario validation lua/sim/Recall.lua, changelog/snippets/fix.7285.md	Recall state and status synchronization initialize unconditionally. Recall requests return "scenario" when recall is disabled or the match is not a team game. Destroyed status threads are detected with IsDestroyed. The changelog records the non-team army-switching fix.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ccdaf

Recall initialization and scenario validation now handle non-team army switching without enabling recall there. The remaining risk is limited to an inaccurate internal type annotation for inactive recall votes, with no demonstrated player-facing runtime impact.

Make RecallVote optional in the AIBrain annotation.

RecallVote uses nil to mean that no vote is active. The code checks this at Line [131], Line [406], and Line [432]. The annotation declares RecallVote as always boolean, so the documented type does not match the runtime contract. Use ---@field package RecallVote? boolean.
