The Story of Rogue
Yes and still under active development [1]! We also just finished the 2024 November NetHack Tournament (TNNT) [2]! I played in the tournament for the first time this year. I had one near-win with a very challenging Monk (I was doing a bunch of conducts [3]) who unfortunately died to the infamous Wizard of Yendor (Rodney as we call him). I also had a winning run with a Wizard which unfortunately finished a few hours after the deadline at the end of the tournament, so sadly that one didn't count!
Next year I hope to have a bit more time to play so that I can record a win in regulation time!

Eglot + clangd not working for NetHack code base
My configuration of Eglot is simple: (use-package eglot :hook (c-mode . eglot-ensure)). And it works for a single c file. But when I use this setup to read the code of NetHack, it doesn't work for linting and definition finding (M-.), even though eglot connection has no problem. I observed the same problems when reading the code of SQLite. Some specific problems I observed:

First version of nethack with a bestiary?
Since nethack 3.1.0, the source for nethack's "bestiary" has been dat/data.base, in plain text, processed into a file named "data" when building the program. The unprocessed file intended for the nethack's next version can be seen at https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/dat/data.base (it's quite long).

NetHack splash screen source? (question in comments)
I am not really 100% sure what you are looking for. Are you looking for the actual picture? It is built during compilation from this uuencoded file https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/blob/NetHack-3.7/win/win32/splash.uu
- (...) instead of one single extremely large structure named 'g' to house all of the relocated global variables, they are distributed into several ga through gz. (...) To make things easy for the developer, each variable is placed into the struct corresponding to the starting letter of the variable.

Cant go down staircase?
xNetHack is based on NetHack 3.7.0, and there was a bug (now fixed) in NetHack 3.7.0 that caused stair destinations to be messed up after a game is recovered. I wonder that has happened here: perhaps you are playing a version of xNetHack that inherited the bug from NetHack 3.7.0, this is a recovered game.

Minetown Shop with a closet, uses other than YASD for shoplifting?
This is a bug that was fixed in the upcoming 3.7, in this commit. Basically, if the random filler created a space that was made inaccessible by the fixed level design getting overlaid on top of the random filler, a door could be created to make that space accessible.
