1. headrev flashes do mind trickery to subvert non-mindsheilded people, like hypnoflash

2. the command staff are the best of the best usually, so they are seen as high value targets by enemies of the corp (in this case the mansus)

3. the syndicate themselves are split into ~9 factions, each with their own opinions on the others, the nukeops are from the gorlex marauders faction iirc and their modus operandi is destruction at all costs, which can include other syndicates factions

4. The syndicate stopped hiring changelings, or all hybrid agents were lost in the field

That is not the case. I think for RP reasons you could do that, but it's really up to you. No rules on that.

Because the buttons cause the person to implode. Seriously tho, It's just a balancing thing. Don't think too much of it. Maybe they ates all the peoples and got blacklisted?

Do traitors and nuclear operatives have any form of loyalty to eachother? or are they going to murder eachother with guns and eswords?

There's, AFAIK, subliminal messaging and very fast psychological conditioning that happens and that causes the instant loyalty. I think there's less of "We hate nanotrasen" and more of "viva".

Arent headrev flashes completely normal, and in fact can be replaced by any standard flash from around the station in a pinch?

no, not even syndicate agents/traitors of the same corporation are loyal, but more often than not if you get an agent card and communicate with the nukies they'll take you home

c*ders....................

It’s a reference to Men In Black’s neuralyzer

Why does the manus like heads of staff? (You get double points for sacrificing a head)

the boring answer is because heads are harder to sacrifice so you get a bit more of a reward for it. the fun answer
is heads of staff are more valuable and juicy meat vessels to sacrifice for your heretical gods. blue blood and whatnot

No loyalty. Nukie turrets will shoot traitors dead if they go near their ship. Sometimes traitors steal the disk and give it to nukies though since that’s like the most traitory thing you can do

coders are evil and fucked up

The Manson family killed the Folgers heiress so that kind of adds up though I think she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time I think they wanted to kill one of the beach boys because Uncle Charles music career never took off.

You wouldn't be a very good agent if everyone knows who you are that's basically spycraft 101. Though maybe nuke ops should have a spare ID to bring home collaborators. On the other hand if I were nuke ops in war mode I'd probably say fuck glowies and run them over.
