62 /// encoder calls `content_checksum(true)`, matching what the reference

67 /// most corrupted positions in a self-written stream silently wrong
68 /// (see `lz4.rs`'s `caps()` and `decoder` docs for the before/after

78 /// the decoder needs one too.
79 WhenPresent,
80 /// No checksum exists, yet malformed input is still detected because the
81 /// format's own decoding constraints make corruption produce an invalid

86 /// decoded identically, with **zero** silent-wrong decodes in any of
87 /// them. LZMA1's range coder plus its end marker are constrained enough
88 /// that a flipped bit almost always drives the decoder into an invalid
89 /// state. This is **detection by structural invalidity, not
90 /// verification**, and the difference from `Always` matters: a CRC gives
