Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Inspired by #5259, which discovers/reviews "Vigilant Mode".
There is currently no way to know whether someone else in the same map is in Vigilant Mode.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
There should be an in-map indicator to show that a player is in Vigilant Mode.
For example, if disconnected players gets a Sleeping emoji (💤), then a Vigilant player should e.g. get a Police emoji (🚨). Players will be aware someone may be cheating.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
**Additional context**
It's an information game; perhaps I should not talk too much.
**Assignment**
- [ ] I'd like to be assigned to this issue and work on it myself
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing sleeping-player emoji and reviewing #5259 for how Vigilant Mode is detected. Identify the in-map player indicator entry point, then make Vigilant players visibly distinct with the agreed emoji or equivalent and verify it appears to other players in the same map.
