Research direction
Start by reproducing the Studio App import with a .wpress backup larger than 2 GB and capture the Node fs.read assertion. Trace the import path that handles the backup and determine whether the app can complete the import or present a user-facing unsupported-size error. Done means the crash no longer occurs and the expected outcome is covered by a suitable test or reproduction check.
