scli no longer fetches, and since the distinfo file hasn't been touched in three months, I surmise that Gitlab might have changed how .tar.gz files are auto-rolled.  See below.

I think we need to 
1. investigate the differences and determine if it's safe to just update distinfo, and if so, update.
2. check how to avoid such failures in the future (possibly with the gurus who added Github stuff to bsd.sites*mk)

Thanks for the report. I've asked the upstream about it. See https://github.com/isamert/scli/issues/143.

    net-im/scli: Update distinfo

    GitHub seemed to regenerate the tarball, which changed its hash and
    size. The contents are the same.

When it comes to your second question, I'm not sure if we can avoid this problem if we are relying on autogenerated tarballs. See https://github.com/isamert/scli/issues/143#issuecomment-937595274
