the limiter bounds what's held *at once*, and each archive gives its bytes back when it's released. So a recursive bomb (42.zip shape) never trips a limit: every level fits on its own, and the scan just runs for effectively forever. Capping each archive at N× its own size wouldn't help either, since every level of such a bomb is high-ratio, so the work still grows about N-fold per level. - each top-level archive gets one decompression budget of `max(100 × its size, 1 GiB)`, spent by every archive nested under it at any depth - the budget is attached to the context when the walk enters a top-level archive, so `Extract` picks it up without a signature change - once it's spent, the archive being extracted is truncated with a "possible decompression bomb" unknown and the walk moves on. The next top-level archive starts fresh real trees (a war of jars, a layer of tarballs) expand a few times over, well under the ratio. Signed-off-by: Alex Goodman <wagoodman@users.noreply.github.com>
