## Core Functions

### install_packages_with_retry()

Install one or more packages safely with automatic retry logic (3 attempts), APT refresh, and lock handling.

**Signature**:
```bash
install_packages_with_retry PACKAGE1 [PACKAGE2 ...]
```

**Parameters**:
- `PACKAGE1, PACKAGE2, ...` - Package names to install

**Returns**:
- `0` - All packages installed successfully
- `1` - Installation failed after all retries

**Features**:
- Automatically sets `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive`
- Handles DPKG lock errors with `dpkg --configure -a`
- Retries on transient network or APT failures

**Example**:
```bash
install_packages_with_retry curl wget git
```

### fetch_and_deploy_gh_release()

The primary tool for downloading and installing software from GitHub Releases. Supports binaries, tarballs, and Debian packages.

**Signature**:
```bash
fetch_and_deploy_gh_release APPREPO TYPE [VERSION] [DEST] [ASSET_PATTERN]
```

**Environment Variables**:
- `APPREPO`: GitHub repository (e.g., `owner/repo`)
- `TYPE`: Asset type (`binary`, `tarball`, `prebuild`, `singlefile`)
- `VERSION`: Specific tag or `latest` (Default: `latest`)
- `DEST`: Target directory (Default: `/opt/$APP`)
- `ASSET_PATTERN`: Regex or string pattern to match the release asset (Required for `prebuild` and `singlefile`)

**Supported Operation Modes**:
- `tarball`: Downloads and extracts the source tarball.
- `binary`: Detects host architecture and installs a `.deb` package using `apt` or `dpkg`.
- `prebuild`: Downloads and extracts a pre-built binary archive (supports `.tar.gz`, `.zip`, `.tgz`, `.txz`).
- `singlefile`: Downloads a single binary file to the destination.

**Environment Variables**:
- `CLEAN_INSTALL=1`: Removes all contents of the destination directory before extraction.
- `DPKG_FORCE_CONFOLD=1`: Forces `dpkg` to keep old config files during package updates.
- `SYSTEMD_OFFLINE=1`: Used automatically for `.deb` installs to prevent systemd-tmpfiles failures in unprivileged containers.
