# Verifying ServerScript Execution

In Roblox, scripts in ServerScriptService run automatically when the server starts. Init.server.luau performs the following automated steps upon boot:

1. Remote Provisioning: Checks ReplicatedStorage.RAC.Remotes. If AdminRemote or honeypots are missing, the server creates secure RemoteFunction and RemoteEvent instances automatically.
2. Detector Registration: Dynamically scans ServerScriptService.RAC.Detectors and registers each detector with DetectionEngine.
3. Heartbeat Attachment: Hooks batched spatial simulation to RunService.Heartbeat.
4. Player Listener Attachment: Subscribes to Players.PlayerAdded and Players.PlayerRemoving to manage session records, token buckets, and historical state buffers.

# Studio Test Run

Press F5 to start testing. You should see the following logs in your Output window:

[RAC:Init] Starting R Anti-Cheat Server Engine...
[RAC:Init] Discovered 15 detection modules in Detectors/.
[RAC:Storage] Connected to DataStore 'RAC_Punishments_v1'.
[RAC:Engine] Attached 15 detectors to RunService.Heartbeat.
[RAC:Engine] Server Engine initialized in 4.2ms.

If you see these logs, your Studio setup is complete and fully functional.
