🟡 install.ps1 prints misleading "Downloading" message when using a local binary override
When GIT_AI_LOCAL_BINARY is set, the install.ps1 script unconditionally prints "Downloading git-ai (release: local)..." at line 299, even though no download occurs — the binary is copied locally. The install.sh script correctly handles this with a conditional message ("Using local git-ai binary" vs "Downloading git-ai" at lines 246/252).
Root Cause
The Write-Host at install.ps1:299 was not updated to be conditional when the local binary override was added. In install.sh, the message was properly split:
if [ -n "${GIT_AI_LOCAL_BINARY:-}" ]; then
echo "Using local git-ai binary (release: ${RELEASE_TAG})..."
...
else
echo "Downloading git-ai (release: ${RELEASE_TAG})..."
...
fiBut in install.ps1, the message at line 299 is always printed before the conditional logic at line 316:
Write-Host ("Downloading git-ai (release: {0})..." -f $releaseTag) # line 299 - always says "Downloading"
...
if (-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($env:GIT_AI_LOCAL_BINARY)) { # line 316
Copy-Item ... # actually copies, not downloads
}Impact: Users and CI logs will show a misleading "Downloading" message when the local binary override is in use, causing confusion during debugging.
