NEXT_STEPS item 1 called out that streamed install was still CLI-only
because the Tauri app started the peer with no stream provider. Users can now
choose an explicit "Low disk install" action from the game detail modal for
remote-only games instead of taking the default archive-preserving download
path.
The GUI command queues a normal peer detail fetch first so the peer database
has the file metadata needed for source validation. A small pending handoff in
Tauri routes the resulting GotGameFiles event into StreamInstallGame instead
of DownloadGameFiles, and clears that pending state on no-peer or download
failure events. This keeps the existing download continuation untouched for
the default action.
The external unrar stream provider moved from the CLI harness into
lanspread-peer so CLI and Tauri use the same implementation. Tauri resolves
the bundled unrar sidecar path and injects that provider at peer startup;
falling back to the noop provider keeps peer startup alive if the sidecar
cannot be resolved, while the streamed install operation still fails safely.

Refs: NEXT_STEPS.md item 1
Add a streamed-install prototype that can receive archive-derived install bytes
straight into local/ without first storing the peer-owned root archive payload.
This is intended for low-disk clients that want to install a game but opt out of
becoming a downloadable peer source for that game.
The protocol gains a current-version-only StreamInstall request and framed
StreamInstallFrame responses. The peer core owns the generic transport,
transaction, path validation, size checks, CRC32 verification, and lifecycle
state. The archive-specific work is hidden behind StreamInstallProvider so the
prototype can use unrar while the final implementation can swap in a better
provider without rewriting the peer command path.
The receiver writes into .local.installing and only promotes to local/ after the
full stream verifies. It deliberately does not write the root version.ini or
archive files, so the settled local state is installed=true, downloaded=false,
and availability=LocalOnly. That preserves the existing rule that local/ is not
served to peers and makes streamed receivers non-sources by construction.
The CLI is the only caller for now. It exposes stream-install and provides the
prototype unrar implementation with unrar lt for entry metadata and unrar p for
file bytes. This is simple and good enough to prove non-solid archive streaming,
but it is not the production provider shape for solid archives because per-file
unrar p would repeatedly decompress prefixes. The Tauri app explicitly passes
stream_install_provider: None, so the GUI behavior stays unchanged until a real
product path is designed.
Document the production-readiness work in NEXT_STEPS.md. The main follow-up is
to make the provider abstraction final-ish and replace the per-file CLI unrar
provider with a one-pass archive provider, then wire a deliberate GUI low-disk
mode, retry semantics, and broader failure scenarios.
