Just use the console and log it, when you are downloading the file via terminal and softwareupdate. Filter the console output for InstallAssistant.pkg or swcdn.apple.com and the download link to Apple will show up.Out of interest, how did you get the URL from software update?
How were they broken and did you get them fixed?Damn my swift projects are fully broken with new XCode beta crazy stuff the first version was more stable than this for me

It also takes forever for my dock to appear, post restart.
Sadly, I'm not so lucky. It just sat here for around 8 minutes and still didn't come up so I used the keyboard command to make it appear and it came up after entering that twice.I noticed after the dev beta 5 install that the desktop wallpaper took a very long time to load after the first boot, so I was presented with a plain dark desktop for about 45 seconds. I'm running it in a VM on UTM though so just put it down to limited resources assigned to the VM. Subsequent reboots have been fine though, everything seems to load, and pronto.

Now you've got it to appear. See if the issue persists again after a reboot. If so, try toggling the dock visibility options in System Settings (instead of using keyboard shortcut), and attempt the reboot again. If toggling the dock view option in System Settings behaves strangely, such as immediately switching back to the previous setting itself, has no immediate effect or even if it solves the issue (temporarily or not),report it to Apple. Buggy / sticky options in System settings have been a problem for some even in Sequoia, though they have mostly been related to sticky network or iCloud settings from my observations. Worth a shot to try and identify where the issue lies and feed it back to Apple.
Use the command softwareupdate —list-full-installers
Then get one with
Softwareupdate —fetch-full-installer

What was the outcome of toggling the dock visibility setting within System Settings? I'm making an assumption that the toggle will be a bit fussy / sticky, but after attempting to enable / disable it a few times, it will result in the same result as using the keyboard shortcut to enable it after a couple of tries. If it does (even if only for the duration of your current login or boot session), then you have a simple reproducible bug to report via the Feedback Assistant.It has. Whether boot from off state or restart, dock will not load on startup. I even ran the killdock terminal command and then rebooted.
I’ve just checked on my MBP, the corner radius of the Safari window is identical to Finder, TV, Music, Notes, App Store, Reminders, Calendar and Maps. This pleases me, as the decision to have the inconsistency of 3 different window corner sizes is absolute madness. Not sure why you are seeing something different with Safari. Might be due to how you’ve got the toolbar setup?Not sure if it’s been mentioned anywhere (used search for “window borders”, etc.): when I have Safari open, the window edges/border are much more rounded at the corners than other apps when side-by-side. Obviously not a deal-breaker, but was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this. That CAN’T be intentional, can it?
