"A dedicated server never creates a Steam lobby, so lobby-based join code does nothing"

Networking.CreateLobbyAsync branches on Application.IsDedicatedServer straight into the dedicated-server path and never opens a lobby, so lobby-creation code written for peer-hosted play does nothing useful on a dedicated server.

"Dedicated server with an unpublished package: clients can't join"

A headless sbox-server running an unpublished local .sbproj boots and creates a lobby, but every joiner fails with 'Package local.<ident> wasn't found!': publish the package first (Hidden visibility is sufficient).

"s&box ships a headless dedicated server that can run an unpublished local project"

App 1892930 via SteamCMD runs a headless server with +game pointing at a local .sbproj: clients stream code/assets, no sbox.game publish required.
