The main repository is at https://github.com/Piengineer12/lua_patcher now, issues should be put there instead.
That aside though, the primary reason things are happening so slowly is lack of motivation, more than anything.
To answer your questions:

• Is this always on? Yep.
• Does it work on multiplayer? No one offered to help test this so I don't know. I don't see why it wouldn't work in MP, though.
• Does it fix base game Lua errors? Yep.
  As for the AI's suggestions:
• No, placeholder tables are not needed.
• Overwriting hook.Add and timer.Create to always wrap code is not too bad of an idea, actually.
• Offering options to toggle specific modules isn't a bad idea, but the code runs before even the ConVar library is loaded, so implementing this is more complicated than it'll seem.
• There actually used to be code that automatically checked for entity validity, but it killed performance so much I removed it.
• Adaptive learning doesn't work without machine learning, which would be insane to implement.
• I always test this when adding new patches, so it is unlikely I'll mistakenly patch out critical gameplay logic.
• The + in the filename already causes this to load before any other addon. Well okay, maybe after DLib.
• Automatic updates are trivial since it's on the workshop.
• Everything else it said is either already done or far too vague to be actionable.

@Piengineer12 sorry

• Overwriting hook.Add and timer.Create to always wrap code is not too bad of an idea, actually.

Overwriting hook.Add and timer.Create to always wrap code is not too bad of an idea, actually.:
so you said that so ig some you may do, id hope so

There actually used to be code that automatically checked for entity validity, but it killed performance so much I removed it.:
oof thats sad wish there was a way to fix this or make it idk manual somehow and not auto idk

I always test this when adding new patches, so it is unlikely I'll mistakenly patch out critical gameplay logic.:
alright cool thanks
