Decision 0004: Server Content Manager Is The Workshop Layer

Status

Accepted

Decision

Panel/modules/addonsmanager should remain the primary future home for Workshop items, mods, add-ons, and server content. steam_workshop should remain a deprecated compatibility layer only.

Reasoning

addonsmanager already has the richer schema and more complete product direction.
It supports content types beyond Steam Workshop.
It is a better fit for load order, enable/disable, install history, and metadata.

Alternatives Considered

keep steam_workshop as the main module
split mods, add-ons, and Workshop into separate modules

Why Those Were Not Chosen

steam_workshop is explicitly deprecated in the codebase.
Separate modules would fragment user workflows and duplicate install logic.
