Mod capability as a Modder
Description
Sometimes a modder will clone a mod git and try to debug, only to be confused as their changes do not take effect. The latest report of this is a modder cloning the main branch that had 0.6 as the build, but steam had a 0.6.1.1 version published. This is either because the author had not pushed some local changes yet or the changes to build.txt were on another branch.
This also happens for modders confused about Version, for example a modders changing v0.200 to v0.3, thinking it is a higher version.
It would be useful to warn of this issue. It might be possible to to detect this when debugging directly. If not, build and reload could warn of this issue. The warning should be full page, as this is definitely a mistake and probably never intentional.
