fix(download): resume from the byte offset instead of restarting - #1374
Conversation
Closes #1370. The 282 MB ARM toolchain could not be provisioned at all on a connection that drops around 90 MB. Every retry started from zero and died in the same band — the reporter measured ~450 MB transferred for zero net progress, five restarts, no toolchain. That is not slow, it is non-terminating: more retries cannot help when each one begins where the last one began. Two changes, and the second matters as much as the first. ## Resume Bytes now stream to a `<filename>.part` beside the destination and are appended to across attempts. A retry sends `Range: bytes=<offset>-`, so a dropped connection costs only the bytes it did not deliver. The part file is renamed into place only once the body is complete, so no consumer can observe a truncated archive at the real path — and the checksum `staged_install` already runs still verifies the assembled result. Three server behaviors are handled explicitly, because getting any of them wrong corrupts the file rather than failing it: - **206** with `Content-Range` — append, and take the total from that header. `content_length()` on a partial response is what *remains*, so using it would have made the reported percentage restart at 0 on every retry. - **200 despite the range** — legal, and it means the body restarts. The part file is truncated rather than appended to, since the old prefix is no longer the right one. - **416** — the whole resource is already on disk; finalize and verify. A body that ends short of its announced length is now a retryable error instead of a successful download of a truncated file. ## A retry budget that can converge The budget is spent on *stalls*, not attempts. A 282 MB file over a link that dies at 90 MB needs four attempts, and a fixed five-attempt cap would fail a download that was converging perfectly well. An attempt that advances the file resets the counter; five consecutive attempts with no progress stop it, and the error names the byte offset it gave up at, as the issue asked. This is what changes `streaming_download_stops_after_five_truncated_bodies` to six requests: its mock ignores `Range`, so the first attempt makes progress and the five after it do not. Renamed to match the new contract. Also drops a 282 MB `Vec` from the download path — the buffer used to hold the entire archive in memory before a single write. ## Verified - `streaming_download_resumes_from_the_byte_offset_after_a_drop` — a mock that hangs up mid-body then honors the ranged retry. RED/GREEN confirmed: disabling the `Range` header makes it fail. - `streaming_download_gives_up_when_the_server_ignores_range` — proves the no-progress budget terminates, leaves neither a truncated archive nor a part file, and names the offset. - fbuild-packages-fetch 135 tests, workspace clippy `-D warnings`, full `dylint --all` sweep, and the platform-boundary comparison: all clean. ## Not included Cross-invocation resume. `staged_install` wipes its staging directory on entry — deliberately, since a stale partial *extract* must not be trusted — so a part file cannot survive there today. Making the archive resumable across runs means giving it a home outside staging, which is a separate change. Segmented/parallel fetch is likewise out of scope: resume is the part that changes whether the download finishes rather than how fast.

already_complete to false in the other OpenedRange constructions and preserve

repeated partial progress cannot retry indefinitely. Enforce the bound before

The resume work pushed `downloader.rs` to 1320 LOC and tripped the workspace's 1000-LOC gate. The gate grandfathers files that were already over on the base ref, so this was genuinely new. Tests move to `downloader_tests.rs` behind `#[cfg(test)] #[path = ...]`, which is the pattern `compiler.rs` / `compiler_tests.rs` already established. Implementation drops to 702 LOC; no test content changed. Refs #1370 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…lutely Three review findings, all correct, one of which I introduced as a data- corruption bug. ## A 416 error body was appended to the completed file (Critical) `open_attempt_from` returned `Ok` for `416` with `starts_at == offset`, so `fetch_into_part` opened the part file in append mode and streamed the response body onto the end of it. S3, GCS and several CDNs answer `416` with an XML or HTML error document, so those bytes landed in the archive — and because they push the length *past* the expected total, the short-body check could not catch it either. With a checksum the install would fail after a full download; without one, a corrupt archive would be extracted. `OpenedRange` now carries `already_complete`, and `fetch_into_part` returns before touching the file. RED/GREEN confirmed: with the early return removed, the new test shows `<?xml version="1.0"?><Error>InvalidRange</Error>` appended to the file. ## The stall budget was not a bound (Major) `stalled` resets on any progress, and one byte counts. A server that drops the connection after a handful of bytes resets it every time, so the loop had no total attempt count, no byte-rate floor, and no deadline — and there is no outer timeout above this function, so that is a wedged install rather than a failed one. The same non-terminating shape #1370 reported, reached from the opposite direction. Added `MAX_TOTAL_ATTEMPTS = 40` as an absolute ceiling, sized so a genuinely converging download still finishes: the reporter's case needs four. The error now says which bound stopped it, alongside the byte offset. ## The header grammar had no test (Major) The test I added covered `parse_request_range` — the *mock's* helper — not `parse_content_range`, the production parser. Split the grammar into `parse_content_range_value(&str)` and tested it directly: `*` totals (legal when the origin does not know the size), a missing `bytes ` prefix, a range with no `/total`, and a non-numeric start.

@coderabbitai — all three fixed, and the Critical one was a real bug I introduced. Thank you for it. 416 error body appended — exactly right, and worse than it reads. RED/GREEN confirmed — with the early return removed, the new test shows the corruption verbatim: Unbounded once any attempt makes progress — also right, and it undercut the thing this PR claims to fix: I replaced one non-terminating loop with another, reachable from the opposite direction. Added Parser untested — correct, and slightly embarrassing: my test covered the mock's helper, not the production parser. Split the grammar into One note on the ceiling test's evidence: I asserted the exact request count rather than proving RED by removing the bound, because without it that test doesn't fail — it hangs, which is the bug. |

The bug
The 282 MB ARM toolchain could not be provisioned at all on a connection that drops around 90 MB. Every retry started from zero and died in the same band — ~450 MB transferred for zero net progress, five restarts, no toolchain.
