The salute will cause the stomach to bend 90 degrees to the right and up while preforming the action.
During this, the right arm will also bug and freak out before clipping though the model to complete the animation.
Also, while attacking the stranger does decrease reputation, it will only say "You're pathetic" and nothing less.
(This is an assumption) If the case is where it turns into the monster after rep 0 or low rep, it is bugged.

1 - A real bug.

The rest is "not quite".

For "something bad" to happen, you need to stand near a stranger if your reputation is bad. (I might change it)

Stranger's reputation system is designed so that it is stored inside Stranger itself. (Applies to everyone, maybe I'll fix it regarding NPCs, although I like the idea that you need to protect a stranger)

I would, however I can't replicate the issue (stranger won't salute)
"For "something bad" to happen, you need to stand near a stranger if your reputation is bad. (I might change it)" Yes, that was what happened. I had assumed it would get angry automatically and thought "oh hey, it's not angry. Is it bugged? (It wasn't)

fixed npc based damage and salute

are you fixing right now?.

Stranger will stop receiving gifts after 15 (or when it reaches 30). It's interesting to note that reputation doesn't have to be 30, but the gifts have to add up to 30 with the base 15 (example, if not shot, reputation caps at 30. If shot, it caps at 29). This leads me to think that reputation being raised and depleted are two different calculations.

Stranger will despawn after being shot a few times with a shotgun. They won't get angry, just despawn.
Like what you did with raising it's health!

Stranger attack mode is triggered at REP 4

If you mean an attack on a player, this is not a bug, it happens at low rep, not necessarily at 0

ah, that makes sense

If Amanda (stranger) gifts a med kit, it will take it as a gift if it gets to close (EX: if it spawns in front of Amanda, it will pick it up and the reputation increase message will show)

I tried to make sure that these items were not considered gifts, but it didn’t work. I will definitely try to fix this in the future

Considering Amanda can heal you now (unless it changed to give a medkit) you could remove the medkit from the spawn table. If it always gave a med kit and I forgot, you could change it slightly so that Amanda directly heals the player and doesn't gift med kits. It's a bandaid fix but could work.

I've found a bug that when the reputation is at 30 and you try to give her a gift, she just freezes, she doesn't turn towards the player, follow or walk around. There isn't anything in the console either.
