Research direction

Trace the Add Server UI's file picker and the game executable locator to compare how each handles paths beginning with ~. Confirm the affected SMM or ficsit-cli entry point, then verify that a server path using ~ both displays correctly and lets the executable locator find the game executable.

Description

Not sure if this one is for SMM or ficsit-cli, we can move it when we find out

The Add Server UI's file picker understands how to resolve paths using ~ (linux home directory) and shows server folders as servers (via icon), but the game executable locator can't find it.

This can be worked around by expanding the ~ to the full path, ex. /home/steam
