Fastly mirror database inconsistent?
I've been trying out the new fastly mirror. It usually works fine, but sometimes I see an update fail to download with 404 errors, even though the database from the same source announces the new package version. e.g. (-Syyuu this time just to be certain I'm using the fastly db):
```
$ sudo pacman -Syyuu
[sudo] password for rpigott:

But the webview does show it as available (this curl fails w/o the firefox UA):
```
$ curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:144.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/144.0' --compressed 'https://fastly.mirror.pkgbuild.com/core/os/x86_64/' | grep linux-firmware-intel-20251021-1

```
curl output with the cache http headers, if that's helpful:
