Description
Since we've temporarily disabled build restrictions for AIs, it has revealed subtle flaws in AI logic, since previously commands would silently fail under certain conditions. So a "debugging mode" is proposed for Commands.js, which would optionally show errors that occur during command handling ("Gather failed: resource not owned by player", "Construct failed: invalid location", etc.) The idea is this mode could be used by AI developers to test changes in their scripts (and possibly UI devs?). Really it only needs to be a flag set somewhere, which parts of Commands.js would check before displaying a message on failure. Even a simple message would be helpful.

I think revision 10570 may have broken "auto-gather" after units build a Mill or Farmstead.

Thanks, hopefully fixed now :)
