Description

When for whatever reason an error keeps occurring and needs some back and forth, it's a bit inconvenient to run the curl command, copy the log location, and tail it repeatedly. It would be nice if we had an environment variable to make the script print everything it writes in logs, directly to stdout.

Also when it is retrying to fetch a url, it may take a few minutes until the process finishes and prints the location of the log file, while if it printed the errors in stdout simultaneously (when the environment variable is set) one could immediately see it is a network error and act, saving time.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the installer’s logging and URL-retry code, then trace how log output reaches the file and when the log location is printed. Done means an environment-variable-controlled verbose mode mirrors log errors to stdout during retries without changing normal output.
