I think Install should be enough, its an Dev Script atm, so no need to migrate Dev instances |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
since its a script that's in dev and that no installs are working shouldn't need handling existing installs

AGENTS.mdand.github/agents/pve-script-creator.agent.mdas guidance, and the output has been reviewed and corrected to match those guidelines.📋 Additional Information (optional)
The general guideline discourages unnecessary application users. This user is necessary because the game server does not run correctly as root. Running it unprivileged also avoids granting the proprietary game binary root access.
