Description
### Description
With "Auto download from cloud" enabled for custom files, the download in the Android app automatically fails if the upload from the web or desktop app hasn't completed yet.
### Step-by-step reproduction instructions
1. On the Android app, enable "Auto download from cloud" in Profile > Files
2. Start uploading a file in https://play.pocketcasts.com/uploaded-files
3. Refresh Files in the Android app
4. The Android app will detect the new file and automatically try to download it, causing it to fail

> [...] I'm presuming the android app thinks there's a new file and automatically tries to download the file when it's not ready yet and generates a `Download Failed` error. I'll have to manually download the files again to resolve the issue. [...]

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the failure with Android auto-download enabled while a custom file upload is still running, then trace the app's custom-file refresh and download flow to see how upload readiness is handled. Done means an in-progress upload is not treated as a downloadable file, while completed files still download automatically.
