Problem

The silo workbench fails to load on startup with:

Ignoring unknown SiloWorkbench workbench found in user preferences.

The Create module (src/Mod/Create/) was never included in the build because src/Mod/CMakeLists.txt did not call add_subdirectory(Create).

Impact

This caused a cascade of failures:

Mod/Create/InitGui.py was never installed, so setup_kindred_workbenches() never ran
The silo workbench (mods/silo/freecad/) was never installed to the correct location
The ztools addon install rules also never executed
kc_format.py (.kc file format handler) was never installed

Fix

src/Mod/CMakeLists.txt: Add add_subdirectory(Create) to include the Create module in the build
src/Mod/Create/CMakeLists.txt: Add missing kc_format.py to the install file list

Verification

After rebuilding and installing:

Mod/Create/ should exist in the install prefix with Init.py, InitGui.py, kc_format.py, update_checker.py, version.py
mods/silo/freecad/ should contain silo workbench files
mods/ztools/ should contain ztools addon files
No more "Ignoring unknown SiloWorkbench" messages on startup

fix: add Create module to CMake build

Build and Test / build (pull_request) Has been cancelled

The Create module (src/Mod/Create/) was never included in the build
because src/Mod/CMakeLists.txt did not call add_subdirectory(Create).

This meant:
- Mod/Create/InitGui.py was never installed, so the workbench loader
  (setup_kindred_workbenches) that loads silo and ztools never ran
- The install rules for mods/silo/freecad/ and mods/silo/silo-client/
  never executed, leaving the silo workbench files missing
- kc_format.py was also not listed in the Create install rule

Fixes the 'Ignoring unknown SiloWorkbench' error on startup.
