Workshop

Workshop downloader helpers for Lilia server content discovery, synchronization, download prompts, and clientside addon mounting.

---

Overview

The workshop library centralizes Workshop collection under `lia.workshop`. It registers server-required Workshop IDs, gathers IDs from mounted addons and module WorkshopContent entries, caches the resulting list for clients, sends workshop metadata to joining players, detects missing client content, requests missing downloads, and displays available server Workshop addons in the information menu.
