* Add specific types for sleeve tasks * Moved LocationName enum to overall enums file * Add LocationName enum to those provided to player * remove trailing s on CompanyPosNames enum (now CompanyPosName, in line with LocationName) * Also regenerated all ns documentation. This leads to an expected error when checking for generated files, because PRs should not normally touch markdown files. Also leads to a lint failure in generated file bitburner.d.ts * also removed some exporting from NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts for anything that wasn't imported somewhere else.

NS.weaken() method
Reduce a server's security level.
Signature:
weaken(host: string, opts?: BasicHGWOptions): Promise<number>;
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| host | string | Hostname of the target server to weaken. |
| opts | BasicHGWOptions | Optional parameters for configuring function behavior. |
Returns:
Promise<number>
The amount by which the target server’s security level was decreased. This is equivalent to 0.05 multiplied by the number of script threads.
Remarks
RAM cost: 0.15 GB
Use your hacking skills to attack a server’s security, lowering the server’s security level. The runtime for this function depends on your hacking level and the target server’s security level when this function is called. This function lowers the security level of the target server by 0.05.
Like hack and grow, weaken can be called on any server, regardless of where the script is running. This function requires root access to the target server, but there is no required hacking level to run the function.
Example 1
// NS1:
var currentSecurity = getServerSecurityLevel("foodnstuff");
currentSecurity = currentSecurity - weaken("foodnstuff");
Example 2
// NS2:
let currentSecurity = ns.getServerSecurityLevel("foodnstuff");
currentSecurity -= await ns.weaken("foodnstuff");
