Not exactly sure where this ninja_gn_binaries.py even comes from and why it's needed but it is failing sue to it.

To reproduce

1. Export short-squeeze simulation from hCore
2. Fork hEngine to local IDE
3. Change counter.rs -> counter.js and change dependencies.json to not reflect dependency on counter.rs
4. follow instructions as described in https://github.com/hashintel/hash/tree/main/apps/engine#cli-arguments-and-options under the section "Run a simulation"
5. Run according to instructions in hEngine README.md cargo run --bin cli -- --project /<directory>/short-squeeze/ single-run --num-steps 5

Link to HASH Core

No response

Expected behavior

It's suppsoed to run just fine since it's just a copy of what's already in hCore

Hi @Keon6 and apologizes for not responding for a fairly long time.

thread 'main' panicked at 'ninja_gn_binaries.py download failed

Did you retry it? it seems to be a spurious error. The error is emitted here and should probably never fail.
