o arquivo baixado nao contem o executavel do spicetify

Error message

o arquivo baixado nao contem o executavel do spicetify

What it means

After unpacking the downloaded Spicetify CLI archive into the staging dir, install looks for the platform binary at staging/bin_name("spicetify") and fails when it is absent. The downloaded release asset unpacked successfully but does not contain the expected executable at the expected path.

Solutions

1. Check the archive layout of the current spicetify-cli release and update the expected binary path
2. Re-run install to re-download a fresh, complete asset
3. Verify the asset suffix from cli_asset_suffix() matches the intended platform
4. Make install search staging recursively for the binary instead of only the top level

Example fix

// before
let exe = staging.join(bin_name("spicetify"));
// after
let exe = find_file_recursive(&staging, &bin_name("spicetify")).ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("o arquivo baixado nao contem o executavel do spicetify"))?;

// after download, before trusting the asset:
let ok = matches!(asset.name, n if n.ends_with(expected_suffix)) && data.len() > MIN_CLI_SIZE;

if let Err(e) = install().await {
    if e.to_string().contains("executavel do spicetify") {
        prompt_user_to_report_release_layout_change();
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling install when the latest GitHub release asset for the platform has a changed layout (binary nested in a subdirectory or renamed), or a wrong/partial asset was downloaded.

Common situations: Upstream Spicetify release restructured its archive; wrong cli_asset_suffix matched an asset for another platform; truncated/corrupted download that still unzipped partially.
