Description

With the introduction of Versioning Enforcement, we now download an additional artifact (current version of ESCU from Splunkbase to the downloads directory) in addition to all the apps (to the apps directory).

We should unify all of these downloads into a common downloads directory to reduce clutter and consider downloading apps from Splunkbase directly using auth, if possible.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Trace the existing app and ESCU download paths, identify where their destination directories are selected, and check how Splunkbase authentication is currently handled. Done means downloads use one common directory and the authentication-based download option has a documented decision.
