Error message

status: {}

What it means

Wraps a failure of manager.get_status() at the start of run_download. get_status queries the remote archive service for blob counts/stats needed to initialize DownloadProgress.total_blobs; any network, auth, or serialization failure is re-wrapped as 'status: {}'.

Solutions

1. Check network connectivity and retry the download
2. Refresh the archive token — a 401/403 wrapped inside this error means re-authentication is needed
3. Inspect the root cause for HTTP status or decode errors to target the fix
4. Retry later if the archive service is temporarily unavailable

// pre-flight connectivity/token check
let reachable = tokio::net::TcpStream::connect(("archive-host", 443)).await.is_ok();
if !reachable { anyhow::bail!("archive service unreachable"); }

let status = loop {
    match manager.get_status().await {
        Ok(s) => break s,
        Err(e) if attempts < 3 && is_transient(&e) => { attempts += 1; backoff().await; }
        Err(e) => return Err(anyhow::anyhow!("status: {e:#}")),
    }
};

When it happens

Trigger: spawn_download_task -> run_download calls manager.get_status().await before paging through blobs; the request fails (network error, 401/403 from an invalid token, unexpected server response).

Common situations: Offline or flaky network during an archive export; expired archive token causing server rejection; archive backend returning an unexpected payload the client can't parse.
