Most Linux distributions come with `tar` installed. Why use zip and require the user to install it on the target device? The device might not have internet connectivity.

Research direction
The issue identifies zip usage in the CLI and questions requiring it on offline Linux devices, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating archive creation and packaging-related tests, then establish whether replacing or supporting tar is in scope and verify the result on a device without internet access.
