So after causing a cave-in that crashed through several layers of my own fort (my own fault, since I forgot that cave-ins continue downwards until they hit something solid) and quickly fixing it up with blocks and whatnot, I thought all was well.  I found out something was amiss when I set the order for all my Dwarves to stay inside (Humans were coming, and I wanted to be proactive about avoiding civilian losses to goblins) and I got several cancel orders for forbidden areas, one of which happened to be a dwarf canceling their need to sleep.

As it turns out, everything that had been broken through during the cave-in still says it's outside, even though I've covered up all of the holes that were caused by it.  It's kind of making me paranoid about the possibility of goblin bowman ambushing my 100-dwarf dining room.

"Indoors" really means "underground" in those orders, and once something stops being underground you can't change it back. Goblin ambushes actually have to move around the map like anything else, they're just sneaking, though, so they won't magically spawn inside your dining room.

Ah.  Well, good and annoying.

I wonder if it would be just a one-liner to fix the "outside" meaning "light/subterranean" to use the "outside/inside" flag instead, as people reasonably assume it should.

'stay inside' really still needs big AI fixes anyway...
