Research direction
Start by tracing the template download workflow described in the issue and compare how templates in primary storage are handled with templates in secondary storage. Reproduce the failure using a qcow2 template registered with Direct Download, then verify that downloading the original template succeeds without breaking the existing secondary-storage path.
