Research direction
Start with the referenced hexdocs/lib/hexdocs/tar.ex lines 14-46 and trace the hex_tarball:unpack and unpack_docs entry points in hex_core. Find the existing compressed-size checks and related tests, then verify that both unpack paths enforce a maximum uncompressed size without breaking valid archives.
