// Install/Update the Project Zomboid Dedicated Server (Build 42, stable)
//
// -beta public is required, not optional. Dropping the flag entirely does NOT
// leave a previously-selected beta: SteamCMD writes the new branch to the
// manifest's UserConfig but leaves MountedConfig -- and the actual installed
// content -- on the old one. That failed silently here, leaving the server on
// the 42.14.1 unstable build while the config had already moved to the mod-ID
// syntax that only 42.20+ accepts, so every mod reported "not found".
