erase-install: Script fails if invalid installer is already cached regardless of --overwrite, --replace_invalid --update options

Describe the bug

Firstly, caching macOS 13 via the script seems to grab an invalid build OR the script incorrectly identifies a cached build as invalid then fails. The error message says to use the --overwrite option even when using the --overwrite option

Our Caching command - that I believe is working but the installer is considered invalid later on?

/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --os=13 --overwrite --move --force-curl

Our install command - that marks the cached installer as invalid and says to run with the --overwrite option

/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --os=13 --overwrite --depnotify --cleanup-after-use --check-power --force-curl --power-wait-limit 180

other commands I’ve tried that give the exact same error message,

/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --os=13 --replace_invalid --depnotify --cleanup-after-use --check-power --force-curl --power-wait-limit 180

/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --os=13 --update --depnotify --cleanup-after-use --check-power --force-curl --power-wait-limit 180

To Reproduce

• If applicable, please provide the full command used when running the script.
• Please describe how the script was run. [e.g. Standalone via Terminal, in Jamf Policy from the uploaded pkg, in Jamf policy from uploaded script only, via another MDM provider] Running via JAMF, uploading the package and running the command via a policy. Seems to only have started with Ventura macOS 13. This does not effect 12.6.1 and previous.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. First command should grab a valid installer and cache it. Second command should see the valid installer and install it without an error message.

Code/log output Please supply the full command used, and if applicable, add full output from Terminal or from /var/log/erase-install.log. Either upload the log, or paste the output in a code block (triple backticks at the start and end of the code block please!).
