Give a dead single-file HTTP/FTP download a fresh URL: same dir + file name
(--continue=true resumes the partial), forgets the old source from
download.retry, verifies the new link (a dead replacement is diagnosed and
marked permanent instead of silently looping). status flags downloads needing
this with a 'needs fresh link' line. Torrents/active/multi-file rejected with
hints; --dir/--split/--tmux supported.
restart <gid>: re-queue from history — torrents via rebuilt magnet
(urn:btih: + &tr= trackers), HTTP via original URIs keeping dir/out;
--continue=true resumes partials, complete files verify instantly.
retry <gid|all>: waits out internet outages (NET_PROBE seam,
--interval/--max-wait), re-queues and re-verifies; aria2 error 3 = real
problem → diagnosed + marked permanent (url:/bt: ids in download.retry,
skipped by retry all, manual restart overrides); --once/--quiet for the
healer timer.
Healer: pos-aria2-retry.{service,timer} user units — arms on download
start (add/torrent/metalink/restart), disables when nothing left.
watch <gid> auto-restarts after an outage.
Fixes from stub-suite review: ensure_healer missing from submit paths;
RESTART_NAME lost across do_restart subshell (download_name helper);
restart exited 1 (tmux test as last statement).
Stub harness (/tmp/opencode/dl-test) 119/119 green; make gen && make check green.

Persistent aria2c as a systemd user service (pos-aria2.service, enable --now,
linger warning) on localhost:6800 with a generated RPC secret in
~/.config/linux_post_install/download.env (chmod 600, env override). 18
commands: start/stop/status, add/torrent/metalink (auto-start, --tmux live
view), list/info/files/peers, pause/resume/remove/purge/move, limit/set,
watch (2s live repoll). JSON built via jq -nc --arg, never string
interpolation. Deps: aria2 in preinstall PACKAGES, aria2c/jq/curl guards
before --help. Docs: POS.md + howto/network.md + indices + Common Tasks row.
