These logs do show a successful download as it did manage to select yt-dlp_linux correctly for me, but other users have had it only use the python script instead, leading to yt-dlp not working due to the aforementioned steam runtime python version. (likely due to yt-dlp.backup being the python script instead of the glibc build)

~~Resonite now uses the binary called yt-dlp_linux directly. The one called yt-dlp is no longer being used, so if that's the one you're talking about, you need not be concerned.~~
I realize I misunderstood the point you made, sorry. Indeed, the file is no longer used and should no longer be downloaded by Steam.
