   Confirmed on macOS 26.5 with Buzz Desktop 0.4.26.

   Root cause: the packaged app runs with / as its current working directory, and run_install_command lets installer subprocesses inherit it. The Goose installer downloads goose-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.bz2 into $PWD before moving the extracted binary to ~/.local/bin. Since a normal user cannot write to /, the CLI step deterministically fails three times and the UI only surfaces the retry wrapper.

   Workaround:

   cd "$HOME"
   curl -fsSL https://github.com/aaif-goose/goose/releases/download/stable/download_cli.sh | CONFIGURE=false bash

   The durable fix is to apply Buzz's existing default_agent_workdir() to installer subprocesses before spawning them. I am preparing a linked PR with a regression test.
