Start by reproducing the 403 with Python's urllib.request.urlretrieve against the public blob URL in the issue, then compare that request with a browser download. The issue does not name repository files or tests; done means determining whether user-agent filtering is intended and identifying a confirmed workaround or the relevant service change.
