Rust server RCON operations in RustGuard

RustGuard uses WebSocket RCON for low-latency server administration. Instead of running commands from a raw terminal, staff get permission-gated command execution, command autocomplete, and a complete audit trail.

Each command is validated against role rules before execution. This prevents accidental destructive actions and makes handoffs between moderators and admins safer during high-pressure wipe windows.

If you operate multiple servers, use the shared command history and server selector to avoid command drift. For moderation workflows, continue with moderation docs.
