The BG3 fast install of 2026-10-23 downloaded 160 GB, was refused by the
installer, and the web job still ended on a full bar, "Done!" and Succeeded
while Steam restarted the download from 0%.
- A failed run's reason is read from the installer's own run log (its ERROR
lines). A waiting job prints "Failed: fast install of <game>: <reason>",
which fails the job; `install` no longer says "Done!" after it.
- Daemon-started failures stay on the Dashboard's Fast install card (and in
ctl status, `error`) until a new run starts or the game is installed.
- install_game writes Steam's "needs downloading" manifest before the
installer runs: it only finishes a manifest it finds, so fresh installs
were refused for want of one.
- Command building moved to _fast_install_cmd (250-line cap).

pick and pick-manual no longer uninstall games that are already allowed:
the outgoing assignment is kept as a released pick (installed, no lock)
until 'pick --replace', done/check, or abandon-pick. The allowed set is
capped at max_manual_picks + 1; a pick over it is refused before the
candidate list / confirmation, naming the games. status and the web
Picks card list kept games with an Abandon button.
Fast install now tracks the installer log from the spawn offset: web
jobs drive the progress bar (per-depot %, phase) and echo a line every
30 s; daemon-started runs are exposed via ctl status / /api/daemon and
shown on the Dashboard.
Also: web deps bumped for dependency freshness (react-query 5.104.5,
typescript-eslint 8.72.0, vite 8.3.5, node 24.22.1 in CI).

- Fast install no longer refuses while Steam downloads something else:
the installer leaves via `steam -shutdown`, which Steam resumes from.
Only a running game still refuses.
- Non-daemon detached runs (web jobs) wait for the installer with the
same stall reaper the daemon uses, and log to a per-uid file: the
shared root-owned log made every job spawn raise.
- `install` offers every allowed game that is not fully installed
(assignment + manual picks), so a skipped fast install can be started
later; it takes over Steam's slow download.
- Uninstall progress names only removed games; protected runtimes are
logged as kept instead of appearing as the last "uninstalled" item.
