What this PR does
The
model-agentimage build intermittently fails while compiling thepkg/xetRust library because a crate download gets cut off mid-transfer.This hardens the cargo build against transient network failures and speeds
up rebuilds by caching downloads.
Why we need it
make model-agent-imagefails non-deterministically at the XET build step:curl error 18 (
CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE) means the connection delivered fewerbytes than expected. It succeeds on retry, so it's transport-level — not a
bad dependency.
Root cause
flaky networks / proxies / Docker bridges, a dropped multiplexed stream
truncates a download → curl-18.
net.retry = 2) andno fetch caching, so a single blip aborts the whole image build and
every rebuild re-downloads everything.
Changes
