    Research direction

    Start by reading shutil.make_archive() and zipfile.ZipFile(), focusing on how archive options are passed between them. The issue references PR #16797; done means make_archive() lets callers set ZipFile()'s strict_timestamps option and the behavior is covered by the relevant tests.
