The daemon's bearer middleware gated every route except /api/health behind the daemon password (PASEO_PASSWORD), including /api/files/download. That route already carries a single-use, 60s-TTL, crypto-random download token that is only ever issued over the authenticated WebSocket, so the token is the capability for the route. Requiring the daemon password on top of the token broke browser and Electron downloads: those trigger the download via an anchor navigation, which cannot attach an Authorization header. The cross-platform download store (packages/app/src/stores/download-store.ts) therefore sent no bearer, and the daemon returned 401 whenever a password was configured. Add /api/files/download to the bearer-auth bypass list. The endpoint still rejects requests without a valid token (400 missing / 403 invalid), so it stays authenticated; it just no longer demands the password a second time. This also fixes every already-released client without an app update.
