L4D2 dedicated server expects to dlopen steamclient.so via
~/.steam/sdk32 (and sdk64). Without those symlinks, srcds_run logs
'cannot open shared object file' and SteamAPI_Init fails, which means
the server is invisible to the public Steam master server, Workshop
addon downloads break, and Steam 'Join Game' / lobby joins do not
reach the server (only direct-IP connect works).
SteamInstaller.install_or_update now ensures the symlinks exist after
SteamCMD finishes. Targets prefer SteamCMD's linux32/linux64 sibling
dirs; falls back to <install_dir>/bin/ if the siblings cannot be
located. Idempotent: re-running the install repairs or leaves the
symlinks alone.
Path.home() respects HOME, which the systemd web unit sets to
/var/lib/left4me, so the symlinks land in the left4me user's home.
Existing deploys can apply the fix by re-running 'Install' from /admin
without a full redeploy.
