Description
I tried both 9.9 and 9.10, none of them have zstd enabled in the binaries pre-shipped in the app:
/Applications/pgAdmin\ 4.app/Contents/SharedSupport/pg_restore -f output.sql database.dump
pg_restore: warning: archive is compressed, but this installation does not support compression (this build does not support compression with zstd) -- no data will be available
pg_restore: error: cannot restore from compressed archive (this build does not support compression with zstd)
This is really problematic given that it completely blocks the ability to deal with zstd DB dump.
Especially that zstd seem activated in the Docker Containers.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the bundled /Applications/pgAdmin 4.app/Contents/SharedSupport/pg_restore and comparing its zstd support with the Docker containers mentioned in the issue. Verify the result with a zstd-compressed PostgreSQL dump; done means the macOS app can restore that dump without the reported unsupported-compression errors.
