Treat max_tries as the configured retry count instead of total attempts across native, media, aria2, and fallback paths.
Route queue slot acquisition through retirement-aware permit handling so shrinking concurrency does not dispatch new work while active transfers still meet the smaller limit.
Update retry-budget and queue-manager tests to cover the corrected attempt counts and paused aria2 resume behavior.
Disabled implicit system/environment variable proxy fallbacks in reqwest, yt-dlp, and aria2c when no proxy is explicitly provided. Updated useDownloadStore to strictly return 'none' when 'none' is selected or when 'system' proxy is empty, matching IDM/FDM behavior and ignoring http_proxy environment variables.
- launch Firefox handoffs through authenticated reconnect
- preserve usable drafts when metadata lookup fails
- reject stale metadata results and retry failed rows only
- Add backendRegisteredIds and backendDispatchPromises for single dispatch enforcement
- Add detach_download_for_reconfigure to safely modify properties of active downloads
- Add applyProperties logic handling completed, failed, paused, and active queues
- Add extractValidDownloadUrls and fix multi-url paste handling
- Setup vitest and add useDownloadStore unit tests for backend registration lifecycle
Transient network drops and Wi-Fi timeouts no longer promote a download
straight to a hard Failed state. A shared retry engine classifies the
error, emits a transient `Retrying` state, and runs a 3-strike
exponential backoff (2s / 5s / 10s) while preserving the active download
allocation (semaphore permit / worker slot). Resumability primitives are
reused on every retry so no downloaded bytes are discarded.
Engine core (src-tauri/src/retry.rs, new):
- BACKOFF_SCHEDULE = [2s, 5s, 10s], MAX_RETRIES = 3
- backoff_for(strike): schedule index with graceful clamp beyond range
- is_transient_network_error(msg): string classifier covering reqwest,
yt-dlp, and aria2c phrasing; permanent conditions (HTTP 401/403/404/
410/451, not-found, permission denied, out-of-disk) checked first so
they always fail fast
- backoff_and_emit / backoff_and_emit_cancel: cancel-safe sleep helpers
driving a Retrying state emit before each delay
- 9 unit tests covering schedule math, clamping, transient vs permanent
classification, and permanent-wins-over-transient precedence
State model (src-tauri/src/ipc.rs):
- DownloadStatus::Retrying variant (serialized "retrying")
- DownloadStateEvent::retrying(id, reason) constructor
- Regenerated TypeScript binding: src/bindings/DownloadStatus.ts
Native reqwest backend (src-tauri/src/download.rs):
- DownloadEvent::Retrying variant (headless mirror)
- CoordinatorEventSink::emit_retrying() drives the production
download-state channel with status "retrying"
- download_file retry core rewritten: transient -> emit_retrying ->
backoff_for sleep inside a control_rx select (pause/cancel honored
mid-backoff) -> re-issue Range header; permanent errors or strike
exhaustion advance to the next URL then hard Failed
yt-dlp media backend (src-tauri/src/lib.rs):
- child spawn+stream loop wrapped in a 3-strike re-spawn loop; stderr
tail classified and, if transient, the process is re-spawned after
backoff (--continue resumes); --retry-wait=2 added to aria2c downloader
aria2c backend (src-tauri/src/queue.rs):
- retry-wait=2 option so aria2's internal retries are not rapid-fire
- handle_aria2_download_error: intercepts transient onDownloadError,
backs off, re-issues addUri, and rotates the stale gid -> id mapping
via rotate_aria2_gid (fresh addUri mints a new gid; not rotating would
detach subsequent WS events and leak the semaphore permit permanently)
- aria2_payloads / aria2_retry_strikes tracking with cleanup on terminal
outcomes
Verification: cargo build clean; cargo test --lib 37 passed / 0 failed.
