Found by downloading every free plugin the registry Worker serves and hashing the result.

129 entries: 127 verified against their served checksum, 0 mismatches, one correct exemption (shared-utilsinstallable:false, no tarball), and ollama.

ollama's download_url was https://ping.nself.org/plugins/ollama/download. ping.nself.org is the licence-validation host and that path is licence-gated, so it answers 401. ollama is free (tier: free, requires_license: false), so nothing was ever going to authorise it. It was the only free entry of 128 not pointing at plugins.nself.org.

The artifact was fine all along — the tarball field already resolved to the v1.2.1 release asset, which downloads (HTTP 200) and hashes to exactly the checksum the registry serves. Only the URL the CLI is told to fetch from was wrong.

Now matches every other free plugin: https://plugins.nself.org/plugins/<name>/tarball.

After this, all 128 installable free plugins resolve to the CDN.

ollama's download_url was https://ping.nself.org/plugins/ollama/download.
ping.nself.org is the licence-validation host and that path is licence-gated,
so the request answers 401. ollama is a free plugin (tier: free,
requires_license: false), so nothing was ever going to authorise it.

Found by downloading every free plugin the registry Worker serves and hashing
the result: 129 entries, 127 verified against their served checksum, one
correct exemption (shared-utils, installable:false, no tarball), and ollama —
the only free entry of 128 whose download_url does not point at
plugins.nself.org.

The artifact itself was fine all along: the tarball field already resolved to
the v1.2.1 release asset, which downloads and hashes to exactly the checksum
the registry serves. Only the URL the CLI is told to fetch from was wrong.

Now matches the pattern every other free plugin uses:
https://plugins.nself.org/plugins/<name>/tarball
