Description

This doesn't look right:

2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] POST request for step "12"
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] startStep("12")
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] finalize()
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] storage location: /data/updater-ociz9efdik2y/downloads/nextcloud/
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] call opcache_reset()
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] end of finalize()
2024-05-25T05:44:01+0000 RnQG5qanp7 [info] endStep("12")

finalize() does the cleanup - removing the .step file - then we're also calling endStep("12") again somehow according to our logs. This re-adds a .step file again, stuck in step 12.

First seen while troubleshooting some updater issues on the forum, then reviewed the logs from running tests. Indeed.

Research direction

Trace the finalize() and endStep("12") flow using the log sequence in the issue, focusing on why cleanup is followed by another step-file write. Review the existing tests that produce these updater logs. Done means finalize() does not leave a .step file recreated for the completed step.
