Research direction

Start by reviewing the installation log at https://paste.rs/tEFU4# and note the exact failure during package download. Confirm the reported ISO version and reproduce the installation with the same disk, region, and package settings; done means identifying the cause of the crash and verifying that installation completes successfully.
