Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/strip-dev.yml and trace how the MultiplayerClosedBeta-v3.zip was produced, looking for the beta packaging entry point that bypassed the strip step. Verify the resulting archive contents; done means beta builds consistently exclude dev/ or the repository documents an intentional decision to include it.

Description

Status: needs triage (build process)

Observation

The MultiplayerClosedBeta-v3.zip distribution of the API mod contains dev/init.lua (and its contents differ from the repo's version). The repo's release CI (.github/workflows/strip-dev.yml) strips dev/ from release builds, so the beta zip appears to have been built from a working tree through a path that bypasses that step.

Impact

Low today — dev/init.lua only enables env-var-driven dev auth, and the dev impersonation endpoint 404s against production servers. But it means beta testers are silently running dev-mode clients, and anything added to dev/ in the future would ship to them unnoticed. Beta builds should go through the same strip step as releases (or include dev tooling deliberately as a documented decision).
