# The two Steam apps are packaged separately and have drifted. Base.Log_Stack_01
# was removed from the client in 42.16, but app 380870 still ships
# entity_logstack.txt. The server registers every script it can see into a new
# world's WorldDictionary, so the entry lands in the save, and then every client
# fails at world load with:
#
#   WorldDictionaryException: [SpriteConfigs] Missing dictionary script on
#   client: Base.Log_Stack_01
#
# Nothing in multiplayer can legitimately use a script no client has, so
# removing it server-side costs nothing. This runs after the SteamCMD update on
# purpose: validate restores the file on every boot, so it has to be stripped
# each time, not once.
#
# Removing the file does not fix a world whose dictionary already records the
# entry -- that save needs regenerating.
