Fixes #14785

With a `.netrc` entry for `github.com` (e.g. Bitrise's git-clone step) and a lockfile `url_api`, mise's reachability HEAD on the browser download URL carried Basic auth. github.com then redirects to a presigned URL that returns 401 for HEAD, so mise treated the asset as unreachable and fell back to an anonymous `api.github.com` download, which 403s on shared CI IPs.

The reachability probe now sends HEAD without `.netrc` credentials, so it behaves the same as with no `.netrc` and downloads from the browser URL.

I did not add an e2e/unit test; verified that it compiles and passes clippy.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes HTTP credential application for a specific HEAD path; behavior for normal GET/downloads and URL-replacement mirrors is intentionally preserved but touches shared retry/netrc logic.

Overview
Fixes GitHub release asset URL selection when a .netrc entry supplies credentials for github.com (common on CI). The reachability HEAD on the browser download URL no longer sends those netrc credentials, so GitHub does not redirect to a presigned URL that fails HEAD and mis-reports the asset as unreachable.

HTTP.head_without_netrc implements this via a netrc_replacement_only retry/send option: netrc is skipped for the original host but still applies after a URL replacement moves the request to another host (private mirror auth unchanged). pick_reachable_asset_url now uses that helper instead of HTTP.head.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Asset availability checks now avoid sending netrc credentials when probing browser-facing download URLs.
  • Retry behavior remains consistent for standard network requests, while credential-free checks continue to support fallback handling and clear errors.
  • Offline mode is now correctly rejected for credential-free reachability checks, preventing misleading availability results.
  • Download URL checks continue to detect available assets and handle alternate URLs as expected.

📝 Walkthrough

The HTTP client adds a retried HEAD method that restricts netrc credentials to replacement hosts. GitHub asset reachability uses this method. Existing retry paths retain their prior netrc behavior.

Changes: GitHub asset reachability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add HEAD requests without same-host netrc credentials crates/mise-util/src/http.rs	The HTTP client propagates replacement-only netrc state through retries and adds head_without_netrc. Existing retry and OAuth paths retain unrestricted netrc behavior.
Use the credential-free HEAD for asset reachability crates/mise-util/src/github.rs	The browser asset reachability probe uses head_without_netrc. Response handling and API fallback remain unchanged.

Explanation

Issue #14785 requires the browser URL reachability HEAD to omit .netrc credentials. pick_reachable_asset_url now calls HTTP.head_without_netrc. The new HTTP path skips .netrc for the original host and preserves .netrc after a URL replacement changes the host. Existing HTTP paths retain their prior .netrc behavior. The issue does not require an automated test.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to the GitHub reachability call and the HTTP retry state needed to control .netrc application. The retry-state change supports the requested behavior and preserves credentials for replacement hosts. No unrelated change is shown.

- Line 1125: Update the retry-state setup in pick_reachable_asset_url so .netrc
credentials remain enabled when URL replacement changes the request host, while
still disabling credentials for the original github.com probe. Derive the
new_retry_state argument from whether the replacement host differs from the
original host, preserving existing fallback behavior for failed HEAD requests.
