 *   `APIClient`, and that rule is about API REQUESTS — small bodies, repeated calls, rate-limited
 *   hosts, where its pacing, bounded retry, response caching and `ResourceError` mapping all earn
 *   their keep. This is a multi-gigabyte file transfer streamed straight to disk. Response caching
 *   would be nonsense at that size, pacing has nothing to pace (one request), and axios buffers a
 *   non-stream response type in memory. The primitive that fits a body this large is the one that
 *   never holds it: a web stream piped to a write stream.

 * "Valid" means every member's CRC-32 checks out — an existence check alone is not enough, because an interrupted
 * download leaves a plausible-looking file that fails only much later, inside ogr2ogr. Writes to a `.tmp` sibling and
 * renames, so `dest` is never a partial archive.
