Michael Taylor dcd2f33f7c CODEBASE: Update api-documentor and api-extractor (#2320)
* Update api-documentor and api-extractor. #1566 follow-up.

I have verified that the HTML/markdown table generation bug in
[#4878](https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack/issues/4878) in rushstack
for api-documentor has been fixed as per rushstack#5256. The testcase
[repro](https://github.com/catloversg/api-documenter-bug-pr-4578) now
produces the correct expected output.

I have confirmed that the generated output in bitburner from
`npm run doc` now generated HTML tables, and correctly inserts
a blank line between the </table> and the follow line (e.g. Returns).

Stylisticly it could use some whitespace, but it is correctly rendered.

This commit is only the updated packages, not the updated generated
documentation. I assume that is automatically generated by the GitHub
workflow.

* Follow up to 5f732a6f35, include `npm run doc` changed docs.

* Add missing license info

* Fix React warning

NS.weaken() method

Reduce a server's security level.

Signature:

weaken(host: string, opts?: BasicHGWOptions): Promise<number>;

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

host

string

Hostname/IP of the target server to weaken.

opts

BasicHGWOptions

(Optional) Optional parameters for configuring function behavior.

Returns:

Promise<number>

A promise that resolves to the value by which security was reduced.

Remarks

RAM cost: 0.15 GB

Use your hacking skills to attack a servers security, lowering the servers security level. The runtime for this function depends on your hacking level and the target servers security level when this function is called.

This function usually lowers the security level of the target server by 0.05 per thread, and only in unusual situations does it do less. Use weakenAnalyze to determine the exact value.

Like hack and grow, weaken can be called on any server, regardless of where the script is running. This function requires root access to the target server, but there is no required hacking level to run the function.

Example

let currentSecurity = ns.getServerSecurityLevel("foodnstuff");
currentSecurity -= await ns.weaken("foodnstuff");
