Summary
Root cause
The installer waited indefinitely for the spawned Bun process while suppressing its normal output. When Bun intermittently stalled in its cache or download path, the install had no timeout or recovery path even though manually restarting the same install often succeeded.
Impact
make installandmake clean-installcan now recover automatically from a transient Bun stall. If both attempts stall, the existing Flatn fallback still handles the failure. Slow environments can override the default withLIVELY_BUN_INSTALL_STALL_TIMEOUT_MS.Validation
