fix(webgl): strip the bundled native server from the WebGL build output#124
Merged
Conversation
On desktop the client launches a bundled native server for Singleplayer/Host, so a prior desktop build leaves StreamingAssets/server/ in the project. Unity copies the whole StreamingAssets folder into every build, so the ~70 MB Windows server (.exe + .pdb) was being baked into WebGL builds too. A browser can never run it (and it is not in the content manifest, so players never fetch it), but it bloats the web bundle and ships a stray platform binary. BuildScript.BuildWebGL now deletes <output>/StreamingAssets/server after the build. Only the build OUTPUT is touched; the source project keeps the bundled server so a later desktop Singleplayer build/run still finds it. CI builds were already clean (fresh checkout, no publish-local-server in the WebGL job); this hardens local builds. Re #121. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
A WebGL build was including the desktop bundled native server (
StreamingAssets/server/BlocksBeyondTheStars.GameServer.exe+.pdb, ~70 MB). Unity copies the wholeStreamingAssets/folder into every build, so if a prior desktop build leftStreamingAssets/server/in the project, it got baked into the WebGL bundle too.BuildScript.BuildWebGLnow deletes<output>/StreamingAssets/serverafter the build. Only the build output is touched; the source project keeps the bundled server so a later desktop Singleplayer build/run still finds it.Scope / impact
publish-local-server); this hardens local builds where a prior desktop build populatedStreamingAssets/server/.BuildScript.csis Unity editor code (not compiled by the .NET CI), so this is verified by inspection + a local WebGL build. The change uses only already-imported namespaces and is a guardedDirectory.Delete.Re #121.
