Research direction

Reproduce the reported `qark --apk DiGieye.apk` command and inspect `qark/decompiler/decompiler.py`, especially `unzip_file` around line 227. Check how the APK is passed to Python's `zipfile` handling; done means the reported APK no longer fails with `BadZipfile` during extraction.
