⚠️ Notes

• Commands marked host only require you to be the server/host to take effect.
• fly, noclip, walkspeed, jumppower, infjump, and thirdperson are client-authoritative — they only visibly affect the local client they're run on.
• size is applied locally and may not sync to other clients unless the game itself networks transform scale.
• dmg changes the damage multiplier applied to player health, not damage dealt to fish or catch mechanics — think of it as a manual difficulty dial. Running game_difficulty afterward will reset it back to the difficulty preset's value.
• thirdperson repositions the camera only — aiming and item-interaction rays may still originate from the camera's position, so expect ADS/interaction quirks while it's active.
• ban only stores the tar
