Description

Description of feature

Currenlty wie only support a decompressed bundle because the uncompressed path is sometimes unclear. It can happen that the uncompressed data looks like sample/outs and outs/ is the actually bundle. Yet, it might be usefull that the user can provide compressed data so that uncompressed data is just temporarily stored.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the pipeline currently detects and stages the decompressed bundle from its input. Define the expected behavior for UNZIP and UNTAR inputs, including temporary storage and bundle selection, then verify both archive types and the existing uncompressed path through the pipeline's available checks.
