If/when we see #14171 again, this should clarify whether our retry logic was skipped (i.e. a transient error wasn't correctly identified as transient), or whether we exhausted our retries. Previously, if you ran a local example fileserver as in #14171 (comment) and then you tried to install Python from it, you'd get:

$ export UV_TEST_NO_CLI_PROGRESS=1
$ uv python install 3.8.20 --mirror http://localhost:8000 2>&1 | cat
error: Failed to install cpython-3.8.20-linux-x86_64-gnu

  Caused by: error decoding response body
  Caused by: request or response body error
  Caused by: error reading a body from connection
  Caused by: Connection reset by peer (os error 104)

With this change you get:

  Caused by: Request failed after 3 retries

At the same time, I'm updating the way we handle the retry count to avoid nested retry loops exceeding the intended number of attempts, as I mentioned at #14069 (comment). It's not clear to me whether we actually want this part of the change, and I need feedback here.

fn attempts(&self) -> u32 {
// Unfortunately different variants of `Error` track retry counts in different ways. We
// could consider unifying the variants we handle here in `Error::from_reqwest_middleware`
// instead, but both approaches will be fragile as new variants get added over time.

The fragility here makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. @konstin do you have any better ideas?

iirc streaming error can show up as different error types (e.g. Error::ExtractError), but we're only attaching the retries if we have a reqwest error

Yeah if opening the connection (the inner loop) retries a couple times and then ultimately succeeds, we'll never see those counts. Konsti and I talked about it and decided that it's not too big of a problem. It is confusing for folks reading the code and trying to understand how many retries are possible, but it's unlikely that it will bother any users in practice.

Note sure about this CI failure:

  Error: Failed to collect walltime results. This may be due to version incompatibility. Ensure that your compat layer (codspeed-criterion-compat, codspeed-bencher-compat, or codspeed-divan-compat) has the same major version as cargo-codspeed (currently v3.0.2).

Retrying failed a few times in a row. Gonna see if rebasing helps :)

Edit: That worked. #codemonkeywritecode

https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/actions/runs/16060816582/job/45326189810 includes this change and does not indicate that it retried. Does that make it the smoking gun for #14425 ?

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>astral-sh/uv (astral-sh/uv)</summary>

### [`v0.7.19`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#0719)

[Compare Source](astral-sh/uv@0.7.18...0.7.19)

The **[uv build backend](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/build-backend/) is now stable**, and considered ready for production use.

The uv build backend is a great choice for pure Python projects. It has reasonable defaults, with the goal of requiring zero configuration for most users, but provides flexible configuration to accommodate most Python project structures. It integrates tightly with uv, to improve messaging and user experience. It validates project metadata and structures, preventing common mistakes. And, finally, it's very fast — `uv sync` on a new project (from `uv init`) is 10-30x faster than with other build backends.

To use uv as a build backend in an existing project, add `uv_build` to the `[build-system]` section in your `pyproject.toml`:

```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["uv_build>=0.7.19,<0.8.0"]
build-backend = "uv_build"
```

In a future release, it will replace `hatchling` as the default in `uv init`. As before, uv will remain compatible with all standards-compliant build backends.

##### Python

- Add PGO distributions of Python for aarch64 Linux, which are more optimized for better performance

See the [python-build-standalone release](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20250702) for more details.

##### Enhancements

- Ignore Python patch version for `--universal` pip compile ([#&#8203;14405](astral-sh/uv#14405))
- Update the tilde version specifier warning to include more context ([#&#8203;14335](astral-sh/uv#14335))
- Clarify behavior and hint on tool install when no executables are available ([#&#8203;14423](astral-sh/uv#14423))

##### Bug fixes

- Make project and interpreter lock acquisition non-fatal ([#&#8203;14404](astral-sh/uv#14404))
- Includes `sys.prefix` in cached environment keys to avoid `--with` collisions across projects ([#&#8203;14403](astral-sh/uv#14403))

##### Python

- Added arm64 Windows Python 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14

  These are not downloaded by default, since x86-64 Python has broader ecosystem support on Windows.
  However, they can be requested with `cpython-<version>-windows-aarch64`.

See the [python-build-standalone release](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20250630) for more details.

##### Enhancements

- Keep track of retries in `ManagedPythonDownload::fetch_with_retry` ([#&#8203;14378](astral-sh/uv#14378))

- Use parsed URLs for conflicting URL error message ([#&#8203;14380](astral-sh/uv#14380))

##### Preview features

- Ignore invalid build backend settings when not building ([#&#8203;14372](astral-sh/uv#14372))

- Error instead of panic on conflict between global and subcommand flags ([#&#8203;14368](astral-sh/uv#14368))
- Consistently normalize trailing slashes on URLs with no path segments ([#&#8203;14349](astral-sh/uv#14349))

##### Documentation

- Add instructions for publishing to JFrog's Artifactory ([#&#8203;14253](astral-sh/uv#14253))
