This guide covers the ccserver module in AlphaGSM.

ccserver is currently listed as PASSED in the checked-in support tracker on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection around this SteamCMD-backed lifecycle, but the checked-in integration test still carries an upstream install skip note and should be revalidated before treating that tracker row as freshly proven.
