Developer Notes

AlphaGSM installs the Linux dedicated payload through SteamCMD anonymous login.
The upstream install ships a launcher script at UnboxedServer.sh that wraps Unboxed/Binaries/Linux/UnboxedServer-Linux-Shipping and sets Steam server rate-limit environment variables.
LinuxGSM stores generated config under Unboxed/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/GameUserSettings.ini once the server has booted.
The current Linux dedicated server binds the gameplay socket on port and emits a stable readiness marker in Unboxed/Saved/Logs/Unboxed.log when GameNetDriver IpNetDriver listening on port ... appears.
In local launch probes the binary did not expose a working A2S query socket or a separate bound queryport, so AlphaGSM intentionally uses generic UDP reachability on the gameplay port for query, info, smoke, and integration coverage.
