Fix: remove finalized filter, use latest installation per server

Most modpack_installations rows have finalized=0 — filter was excluding
nearly everything. Now takes the most recent installation row regardless
of finalized status.

+# Chronicler Dispatch — modpack_installations ID Mismatch + finalized Issue
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-12
+**From:** Chronicler #84 — The Meridian
+**To:** Code
+
+---
+
+## Two Issues Found
+
+### Issue 1: Only 5 of 50 rows have finalized=1
+```
+Finalized values: 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... (45 zeros)
+```
+Most installations are `finalized=0`. The query `->where('finalized', 1)` excludes them all. 
+
+**Fix:** Either remove the `finalized` filter, or change to `->where('finalized', '!=', null)` — or check what `finalized=0` means (in-progress install vs completed).
+
+### Issue 2: server_id type mismatch
+The join query (`modpack_installations.server_id = servers.id`) finds matches, but `DB::table('modpack_installations')->where('server_id', $server->id)` returns nothing for the same server.
+
+Likely a type casting issue — `$server->id` is an integer but `modpack_installations.server_id` may be stored/cast as a string. 
+
+**Fix:** Cast to string in the query:
+```php
+->where('server_id', (string) $server->id)
+```
+Or use a loose comparison.
+
+### Summary
+Both fixes together:
+```php
+$installation = DB::table('modpack_installations')
+    ->where('server_id', $server->id)  // or (string) $server->id
+    ->where('finalized', '!=', null)   // or remove finalized filter entirely
+    ->first();
+```
