KilledByAFake

You heard your friend calling for help. You followed the voice. It wasn't them.

With Coroner, the performance report tells you a Masked got you. With KilledByAFake, it tells you which friend it was pretending to be:

Notes:
* Was killed by a fake Bob.

What it does

When a Masked enemy kills a player, this mod checks who that Masked was imitating — voice via Mirage, suit and appearance via Mirage's visual copying or the vanilla mask-conversion — and rewrites Coroner's cause of death on the performance report with the impostor's identity.

• Works for naturally spawned Masked (Mirage picks who they imitate).
• Works for Masked created by the Comedy/Tragedy mask: victims see "Was killed by a fake <whoever put the mask on>."
• If the Masked wasn't imitating anyone, Coroner's normal messages are left untouched.
• Respects Coroner's config: if cause-of-death display is disabled, nothing is shown.

Requirements

• Coroner (hard requirement)
• Mirage (this is where the fun comes from)

Install on all clients — everyone should run the same mods anyway.

How it works (for the curious)

Two small Harmony patches: one on MaskedPlayerEnemy.FinishKillAnimation records which player the Masked was mimicking at the moment of the kill (read from Mirage's synced MimicPlayer component via reflection, falling back to the vanilla mimickingPlayer field), and one on HUDManager.FillEndGameStats runs after Coroner writes the report and replaces its Masked death line with the personalized one. No extra netcode — the kill animation is already synced, so every client records the name locally.
