Daryaft packages download execution, recovery, diagnostics, and verification into one Go tool. Its public release process and explicit limitation list make the current capability boundary easy to inspect.

Problem
Daryaft combines those concerns in one focused command surface rather than leaving users to assemble download, verification, and recovery steps manually.
Overview
Downloading from a terminal is simple until users need predictable filenames, retries, partial-file recovery, integrity checks, and understandable failure output.
Product reasoning
Concurrent downloads, automatic updates, checksum discovery, signature verification, and several Windows and TUI options remain documented limitations or planned work.
Product decisions
Incomplete files remain in .part form with sidecar metadata. Resume restarts safely when server support or validators do not match; update checking is read-only.
Technical architecture
A Go core exposes CLI commands and a Bubble Tea TUI over shared download events, configuration, retry, resume, diagnostic, and checksum behavior.
Execution and delivery
The repository documents single and batch downloads, exponential retry, resumable transfers, SHA-256/SHA-512 checks, doctor and inspect commands, YAML configuration, GoReleaser archives, and Homebrew installation.
Current evidence
The current stable release is v1.12.0. Public CI covers tests, builds, race checks, lint, security checks, and release configuration without publishing from ordinary CI.
Learnings
A focused CLI becomes dependable when planning, diagnostics, integrity verification, and release packaging are treated as product surfaces rather than incidental scripts.
