NPCs frequenty abort crafting jobs they have started without sufficient feedback as to why. about cataclysm-dda HOT 2 OPEN

The code structure is, unfortunately, rather unhelpful when it comes to the ability to report on why companions stop activities. One reason is that evaluation of whether something can be done is performed by functions that just return a yes or no answer, but no indication of what condition failed. You can't report anything inside these functions, as they don't have access to information of whether they are expected to succeed or just one check among many.
Furthermore, actions are split into action steps (to be performed until done or failed) with little to no overview of where they sit in their action chains with the "next step" frequently being to go back to the beginning and try again (companion construction: go to site, detect that not all items are present, go to site of one item, teleport item, go back to site, detect that not all items are present, go to site of second item (which may be part of the same stack the previous item came from), go back to site...fail at some "random" point and be "done"). Actually, action chains don't really exist, as each step is followed by a return to evaluation of the overall activity again, based on the current location and conditions. Smart in that no state beyond the current step and the overall task is stored, but not useful when it comes to evaluation.

Can confirm that the thing is happening only when there's only 1 NPC and noone else is using any tools
