Description

Check run pages (e.g. https://buildomat.eng.oxide.computer/wg/0/details/01J04QGAYSFEA32EPBNB1NN9FA/rO6E1KLuz95lg5PhVtAw9IPDufYTSB5Uq4cxNubZy3ZUZVrG/01J04QHG82RKM5TEJTW822P8FP) can get quite large; this one is 3.56 MiB, but gzips to 275.51 KiB. Either Buildomat or Nginx could compress the response per the client's accept-encoding header.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the linked check-run page and how Buildomat or Nginx currently serves its response. Determine where client accept-encoding handling belongs, then verify that supported responses are compressed without changing their contents and that clients without compression support still work.
