Configuration is applied in this order: config file, environment variables,
then command-line overrides. Supported command-line options are `--name`,
`--bind`, `--port`, `--max-players`, `--data-dir`, `--discovery-url`,
`--public`, and `--private`. Value options use `--option=value`. Keep the first
standalone `--` shown above; it separates Godot engine flags from server flags.

### Headless operators
Headless moderation is granted by authenticated player identity, never by a
display name or shared password. A player can copy their complete 64-character
fingerprint from **Settings → Data & Identity → Copy Player Fingerprint**.
Add trusted fingerprints to `/etc/netfishing-server.cfg`:
```ini
[moderation]
operators=PackedStringArray("0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef")
```
Alternatively, provide a comma-separated list through
`NETFISHING_SERVER_OPERATORS` or `--operators=fingerprint1,fingerprint2`.
Configuration file values are overridden by the environment, then by the
command line. Restart the server after changing the allowlist.
The server grants operator status only after the connecting player proves
ownership of that exact identity key. Operators can kick, ban, unban, and clear
shared session artwork through the in-game Players page. They cannot grant
operator access, revoke another operator, or moderate another operator. Keep
the server data directory persistent because it owns the server identity and
stored bans.
Public listing requires the discovery URL and a publicly reachable ENet UDP
port. Discovery makes a server findable but does not relay gameplay traffic.
