Description
OSS-Download seems to be outputting all its output on stderr even when successful. It should output non-errors on stdout instead. Possibly tied up in a larger effort to improve logging.

Research direction
Start by locating the OSS-Download CLI entry point and reproducing a successful run to observe stdout and stderr. Trace where normal output and errors are written; done means successful non-error output goes to stdout while errors remain on stderr, without expanding the issue into the larger logging effort mentioned.
