+- Hints for items with `ItemClassification.trap` default to `HINT_AVOID`.
+- Hints created with `LocationScouts`, `!hint_location`, or similar (hinting a location) default to `HINT_UNSPECIFIED`.
+- Hints created with `!hint` or similar (hinting an item for yourself) default to `HINT_PRIORITY`.
+- Once a hint is collected, its' status is updated to `HINT_FOUND` automatically, and can no longer be changed.
