# Changelog

## 2026-01-25
- Replaced the Steam Workshop search backend with the official Steam Web API (QueryFiles) so searches are anonymous, paginated, and no longer depend on fragile HTML scraping.
- Added detailed Steam API failure logging plus structured JSON responses that expose pagination metadata to the UI.
- Introduced a reusable SteamCMD installer helper that downloads Workshop items with anonymous login, falls back to authenticated credentials, and captures all stdout/stderr in per-run log files.
- Documented the new search and install helpers to clarify expected usage from both the panel UI and CLI tooling.

## 2026-01-17
- Added per-game Steam Workshop adapter management with CRUD UI and automatic mapping helpers.
- Added workshop capability helpers and monitor button gating so only supported SteamCMD homes expose the Steam Workshop shortcut.

## 2026-01-18
- Reworked Steam Workshop support detection to read installer AppIDs directly from the canonical game XMLs, ensuring admin mappings and Game Monitor buttons only appear for true Workshop-enabled titles.

## 2026-01-19
- Hid staging directory, install strategy, and post-install script controls from non-admins to keep panel defaults enforced for customers.
- Added the Steam Workshop mod picker, including search-backed UI, JSON state handling, and refreshed styling so customers can select mods without touching raw ID lists.
- Pointed the Workshop search endpoint at whichever panel script rendered the page so AJAX searches work in both the main panel and the customer Game Monitor.
- Removed the per-server install-strategy selector so that behavior is governed solely by the admin adapter configuration.
- Removed the per-server post-install script field so hook execution stays defined at the adapter level only.
