tronbyt pixlet GitHub release tags version format prerelease build suffix

💡 Result:

The project commonly associated with the name Pixlet is hosted at github.com/tidbyt/pixlet (with a fork or related project occasionally referenced as tronbyt/pixlet) [1][2][3][4]. Its release tagging and versioning follow Semantic Versioning (SemVer) principles [5][6][7]. Version Format: Releases are tagged using the vX.Y.Z format (e.g., v0.33.3) [5][6][7]. Prerelease and Build Suffixes: While the primary releases on GitHub use standard tags, the project utilizes Go module versioning, which may generate pseudo-versions in environments like pkg.go.dev [2][8]. These pseudo-versions typically follow the format vX.Y.Z-yyyymmddhhmmss-abcdefabcdef, where: - The base is the last tagged version (e.g., v0.47.3) [2]. - The suffix consists of a timestamp (yyyymmddhhmmss) and a short commit hash (e.g., -0.20251111230017-f1b5948fba28) [2][8]. These are automatically generated by the Go proxy system to represent commits that have not been tagged as official releases, rather than manually defined prerelease or build tags within the Git repository itself [2][8]. Official releases tagged in the GitHub repository generally do not include prerelease or build metadata suffixes [5][7].

Citations:

Anchor the complete Pixlet release-tag match. The current pattern accepts v0.53garbage and 0.53, so invalid tags can reach the release URL. Match the documented vX.Y.Z format, with explicitly supported prerelease or build suffixes, and anchor the pattern at both ends.

validation in the download script to require a complete documented vX.Y.Z
release tag, allowing only explicitly supported prerelease or build suffixes,
with anchors at both the beginning and end; reject partial versions and trailing
garbage before constructing the release URL.

Print invalid-response diagnostics as escaped data.

Line 93 prints external response bytes through echo. The filter removes NUL and newline characters but leaves escape, carriage-return, backspace, and other control characters. A proxy error response can alter terminal output or obscure CI logs. Encode the bytes as hex or escape non-printable characters, then use printf.

Proposed safe diagnostic 
-        echo "  (first bytes: $(head -c 60 "$temp_file" | tr -d '\0' | tr '\n' ' '))"
+        local first_bytes
+        first_bytes=$(head -c 60 "$temp_file" | od -An -tx1 -v | tr -d '[:space:]')
+        printf '  (first bytes, hex: %s)\n' "$first_bytes"

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@scripts/download_pixlet.sh` at line 93, Update the invalid-response
diagnostic in the download script around the temp_file preview so external bytes
are encoded as hex or escaped non-printable data before output. Replace the
echo-based rendering with printf while preserving the existing 60-byte preview
limit and diagnostic context.
