New Content - Implemented Bricks are not a gift

Bale

Minion
Background information HERE. The important information was this:

Typing this in the gCLI
Code:
ash print(is_giftable($item[brick]));
returns
Code:
true
Returned: void

but you cannot actually send a brick as a gift. Should this be returning true?

Unfortunately since bricks were marked as a gift in their item description it was a KoL quirk and there wasn't anything KoLmafia could do despite the weirdness. Well, two days ago I ran into this quirk again when I wanted to generate a list of the gift items in my inventory so I decided to send a bug report to KoL.

Fair enough! I'll send this over to HS for a look-see.

They were marked as gift items, but not tradable. I removed the gift item flag. Curious whether that will cause some other problem!

Please update the item flags in KoLmafia to account for this KoL change.
