Description

Hi, I using macOS and when I compress a folder and with the "compress" option and after that I use decompress it extract zip but I see an extra folder name __MACOSX having the same folders/file which is there in another folder which got compressed at beginning. That folder is not visible when unzipped from the GUI of macOS.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce extraction of a macOS-created archive, then inspect how decompression options are exposed and how ZIP entries are selected. Done means an opt-in flag prevents __MACOSX content from being extracted without removing other archive files.
