[2.8.3.3] [SAHQ] Unlimited esoteric knowledge (hermetic society) from apprentice mission
Game Version

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The player character can receive an unlimited amount of esoteric knowledge (society currency for the Hermetic society) by repeatedly assigning the "Apprentice" honorary title to different courtiers during the "Find an Apprentice" mission, while the popup showing the mission reward is still visible.
This appears to be because the mission is marked as "finished" after the player closes the popup and received the reward. By not closing the popup and repeatedly "completing" the mission, you can receive an unlimited number of mission rewards.
In the screenshots, you can see that I've got a lot of mission completion popups, and that I received all of the rewards after dismissing them. (My esoteric knowledge increased significantly, and the timestamp on the screenshots is <30s later.)
The only resolution that's obvious to me would be to mark the mission as "complete" (ie. remove it from the society tab) before displaying the popup.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
Join the hermetics.
Do not assign the "Apprentice" honorary title.
Wait for the "Find an Apprentice" mission to fire. (You can probably do this with the console, but I don't know how.)
Assign the "Apprentice" title to an unlanded courtier. This creates a popup with 200 esoteric knowledge. DO NOT CLOSE THE POPUP.
Assign the "Apprentice" title to a different unlanded courtier, using the "Minor titles" subtab of the "Council" tab (ie. the crown icon in top left). The "Resign" button is disabled, but you can still assign the title to a different person. Once you do so, another popup appears - with another reward.
Repeat until you get bored.
Be warned that abusing this exploit will make these particular courtiers really hate you (for repeatedly revoking their honorary title).
