Research direction

The payload names no source files, so start by reading open pull request #181, which already targets this bug, and find the model download progress code in the Swift sources of the macOS app. Reproduce by downloading any model and watching the progress label. Done means the label advances past 0% during the download and the progress view stays visible until the download completes.
