Bobserver

Beasts of Bermuda

This guide covers the bobserver module in AlphaGSM.

bobserver is currently DISABLED in the checked-in support tracker. Prior CI runs timed out during the large SteamCMD app 882430 download; the integration test now allows 30 minutes and leaves that failure visible rather than permanently skipping it. AlphaGSM keeps the module hard-disabled until a fresh GitHub CI run validates the install and lifecycle on Ubuntu 24.04.
