Binary Update Download Retry and Error Reporting

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.202
EntryKind: in v2.1.202,
ImprovementsSection of the release

Updates to the binary downloader improve resilience and error surfacing during interrupted downloads.

Details
  • Checksum mismatches now produce a short canonical error string "Checksum mismatch during binary download" in addition to the detailed mismatch message, making them easier to surface and log
  • Repeated connection drops during a binary download now report: "Connection dropped repeatedly during binary download" after exhausting retries
  • Version fetch failures now emit: "Failed to fetch version from binary repo" as a canonical event alongside the detailed attempt-count message
  • Manifest fetch connection drops are similarly tagged: "Manifest fetch connection dropped on attempt [N]"
Evidence

Binary updater (search for "Checksum mismatch during binary download" and "Connection dropped repeatedly during binary download")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
