   The issue doesn’t happen right now, so I am not sure how to test this pull here. Maybe re-open the next time the issue happens?

   Think this is the best action for now.

   If we are going to park this PR, maybe it’s good to add a bit more context to the PR description (suggestion):

   " Attempt to work around #33599 by using a filtered git clone instead of a simple raw curl. Rationale: The PR is based on a working theory that this workaround is needed because, with the new Cirrus runners, we are downloading from a non-GitHub Action runner IP. These IPs are currently being rate-limited or banned in an effort by GitHub to combat LLM scraping. "

   I think so. Hopefully some followup from Cirrus in #33599.
