fix: role_history records the old role instead of the new one

[Karlious]

What's wrong

In update_role() (scripts/scr_marine_struct/scr_marine_struct.gml), the role_history entry is pushed after the role has already been overwritten:

obj_ini.role[company][marine_number] = new_role;
if (instance_exists(obj_controller)) {
    array_push(role_history, [role(), obj_controller.turn]);
}

role() is a live read (return obj_ini.role[company][marine_number];), not a cached value, so by the time it's called here it returns new_role, not the role the marine actually held before the change.

Why this is unintended

Every other place in the same file that records a role into history captures it before overwriting the field — see the struct-init logic a few lines up (role_history = [[role, obj_controller.turn]] style, built from the role at creation time, not a post-write read). The ordering here is a straightforward "the value was already overwritten before it was logged" bug, not a deliberate choice — nothing downstream reads role_history expecting the new role, and there's no comment or intent suggesting this was on purpose.

Before / after

• Before: every promotion/role change appends [new_role, turn] to role_history — the marine's logged career history shows the role he was promoted to at each step, never the role he actually held. The record is off by one forever (and the very first entry a marine ever gets is meaningless, since it just repeats itself).
• After: role_history correctly logs [old_role, turn] — the role the marine held immediately before the change, matching what "history" is supposed to mean.

How to observe it in game

1. Promote or reassign any marine's role a few times (e.g. Recruit -> Battle-Brother -> Sergeant).
2. Inspect that marine's role_history (e.g. via a save file, or any UI/tooltip that surfaces it).
3. Every entry shows the role after that step, not the role held at that point in the marine's career — e.g. the entry logged at the Recruit -> Battle-Brother transition reads "Battle-Brother", not "Recruit".

Fix

Capture role() into a local before the write, then log the local instead of re-reading the (now-updated) field.

Summary by cubic

Fix role history logging so it records the marine’s previous role at each change, not the new one. We now capture the old role before updating and log it with the current turn, correcting the off-by-one career history.

This is just claude straight out hallucinating the function logs the new role and the turn it was given and stores it in the role_history array

You're right — with the creation-time entry recording the starting role, appending the new role at each change gives a complete timeline, and "old role" would just duplicate the previous entry. Withdrawing this one; thanks for the quick read.
