Fix LocalReleaseMirror cache invalidation on StageBinary (test-fixture bug)

Placeholder ppxd requested to merge fix/install-tentacle-ps1-idempotent-rerun into main

Summary

Root cause was misdiagnosed. The InstallScript_ReRun_OverExistingInstall_Succeeds test was failing because the mirror fixture's per-URL cache kept serving stale v1 content for the second install — production install-tentacle.ps1 was working correctly all along.

Real fix: invalidate _archiveBytesCache in StageBinary so re-staged content takes effect. The original install-tentacle.ps1 Expand-Archive -Force is restored unchanged.

Why this matters

The test was claiming a production regression (Expand-Archive -Force isn't overwriting?) but the bytes the script extracted on the second install were CORRECTLY v1's bytes — because that's what the cached zip was. The test's StageBinary(v2, ...) between calls didn't invalidate the cache, so the second install got the same v1 zip the first install had.

Test-discipline value: this is a great example of why deeper investigation matters — the surface symptom looked like a production bug, but careful tracing of the data flow revealed the test fixture as the actual culprit.

Files changed

File Change
tests/Squid.WindowsUpgradeE2ETests/Infrastructure/LocalReleaseMirror.cs StageBinary now clears _archiveBytesCache
deploy/scripts/install-tentacle.ps1 (No actual change — restored to original)

Test plan

  • dotnet build green
  • Windows CI: InstallScript_ReRun_OverExistingInstall_Succeeds turns green
  • Existing 4+ consecutive failures on main are caused by this same cache issue
