Next destination event cannot distinguish between "Encoded Emissions" and "High Grade Emissions"

[nepomuk16321]

What's Wrong (please be as specific as possible)

Problem:
The "Next destination" event uses SignalName to identify USS (Unidentified Signal Sources), but Frontier has a bug where both "Encoded Emissions" and "High Grade Emissions" share the same SignalName value ($USS_HighGradeEmissions;). This causes EDDI to incorrectly identify "Encoded Emissions" as generic "Signal Source" while "High Grade Emissions" works correctly.

Expected

[Describe what you expected to happen]

Observed

[Describe what actually happened. Feel free to add screenshots, link to videos, etc to help explain what happened]
Journal Examples:
Encoded Emissions:

  "SignalName":"$USS_HighGradeEmissions;",
  "SignalName_Localised":"Unidentified Signal Source",
  "USSType":"$USS_Type_ValuableSalvage;",
  "USSType_Localised":"Encoded Emissions"

High Grade Emissions:

  "SignalName":"$USS_HighGradeEmissions;",
  "SignalName_Localised":"Unidentified Signal Source", 
  "USSType":"$USS_Type_VeryValuableSalvage;",
  "USSType_Localised":"High Grade Emissions"

Steps to reproduce

1. [Give the fullest and most reproducible steps you can]
2. [The more reproducible, the better our chances of fixing it]

Current Behavior:

Degraded Emissions: ✅ Correctly identified
High Grade Emissions: ✅ Correctly identified
Encoded Emissions: ❌ Shows as generic "Signal Source"

Root Cause:
The code in SignalSource.cs (lines 178-182) already acknowledges this FDev bug in a comment, but the fix is not implemented:
// There is an FDev bug where both Encoded Emissions and High Grade Emissions use the USS_HighGradeEmissions symbol.

Configuration

• Version [Please give full version numbers here, not just "latest" or "current"]
  • EDDI Version: v.4.1.6
  • VoiceAttack Version: [if applicable] no VA
• Localization [if applicable]
  • EDDI's language: [or the operating system language if EDDI's language setting is "Automatic"]
  • Voice: [Name and language]

My Investigation

Investigation Notes

[Any investigation you have done, tests using default scripts and personalities, regression tests against earlier versions, etc]
Correction/addition:
Degraded emissions are always announced. For encrypted or high-grade emissions, sometimes one and sometimes the other is announced as "signal source". If another signal source was selected beforehand and then high-grade signal source or encrypted signal source is selected, “signal source” is announced. If high-grade signal source was selected before encrypted signal source (or vice versa), only the first one is recognized and announced as “signal source.” EDDI remains silent for the second one.

Solution:
EDDI should use USSType / USSType_Localised instead of SignalName / SignalName_Localised for USS identification, as the USSType correctly distinguishes between all USS types.
Workaround:
In Cottle scripts, you can work around this by looking up the signal in system.signalsources which contains the correct localized names from the FSSSignalDiscovered event.
Sorry, that's not correct. The variable {signal} does contain ‘Encrypted signal source’ and ‘High-grade signal source’, but the event variable and the localised version of the variable are always just ‘Signal source’. There is no discernible difference.

Tested in:
EDDI version: v.4.1.6
Elite Dangerous: Live
Language: German (but affects all languages)

This event is generated by the Status Monitor using the destination information in status.json. Have you confirmed that status.json now provides enough information to distinguish between "Encoded Emissions" and "High Grade Emissions" signal sources?
