//! **ZIP / JAR writer** — the container, over the same engine.
//!
//! A JAR *is* a ZIP; the only differences are conventions (`META-INF/` first, a
//! manifest) and neither changes a byte of the format. So there is one writer.
//!
//! # Why this needs no new scheduler (LAW 5)
//!
//! ZIP entries are independent DEFLATE streams, which is exactly the shape
//! [`crate::compress_objects`] already solves — and solves better than a
//! hand-rolled per-entry fan-out would. A real JAR is hundreds of tiny
//! `.class` files plus a few large ones, which is the same skew as a git
//! repository: the two-queue planner coalesces the small entries into batches
//! (so one worker drains many, reusing one compressor) and splits any large
//! entry internally at full-flush boundaries. **Both axes apply to a JAR, and
//! the second one is why a single 200 MB entry cannot serialise a worker.**
//!
//! That is the ordering worth stating plainly: **entries parallelise first, and
//! `ldeflate` splits inside one only when an entry is big enough to be worth
//! it.** The container work below — headers, the central directory, offsets — is
//! memcpy-class and stays serial, because it is a few dozen bytes per entry
//! against kilobytes of payload.
//!
//! # What is written
//!
//! ```text
//!   [local header][name][payload]     x N     (in entry order)
//!   [central header][name]            x N
//!   [end of central directory]
//! ```
//!
//! Deflate (method 8) unless it fails to help, in which case the entry is
//! **stored** (method 0). That is not a nicety — it is the incompressible
//! finding from `.nornir/ldeflate-design.md` applied at the entry level: level-6
//! DEFLATE over already-compressed content measured a ratio of 1.000 while
//! running 42x slower than a hash over the same bytes. A JAR full of PNGs should
//! not pay for that, and real ZIP writers do the same.
//!
//! # Limits, refused rather than attempted
//!
//! No ZIP64. An archive over 4 GiB, an entry over 4 GiB, or more than 65 535
//! entries is an [`DeflateError::ZipLimit`] naming what was exceeded — never a
//! silently truncated 32-bit field, which is what a ZIP writer that ignores this
//! produces and which no tool can diagnose afterwards.
