v2.9.36 – Bot secret and command bridge

Added

• Added the built-in server command bridge so website and Discord bot actions can reach the live S&box server console.
• Added npm run server:bridge.
• Added scripts/server-bridge/Run-Northline-Server-Bridge.bat.
• Added queue consumption from NORTHLINE_SERVER_COMMAND_QUEUE_PATH.
• Added console log capture through NORTHLINE_SERVER_CONSOLE_LOG_PATH.

Configuration

• NORTHLINE_BOT_API_SECRET secures bot-to-website API calls.
• NORTHLINE_SERVER_COMMAND_QUEUE_PATH controls where queued commands are written.
• NORTHLINE_START_SERVER_SCRIPT tells the bridge how to start the game server.
• NORTHLINE_BRIDGE_SKIP_EXISTING_QUEUE_ON_FIRST_RUN prevents old queued commands from firing on first launch.

Notes

• The bridge should own the game server process when kick, ban, and broadcast commands need to be sent into stdin.
