Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the Dota 2 scenario: run a Steam update during compression and observe the crash and resulting files; done means the affected compressed items can be identified and handled so Steam can restore corrupted files.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

my Dota 2 decided to have small 30mb update during compression i did then it crash the apps. it makes some files still listed as (15 in image) compressed but i can't decompress it, i had to manual open the game and it listing the files corrupt one by one then verify integrity loop for 15 times

wish i want that it can list the item that has been compressed so we can delete then let steam verify integrity fix it in case of corrupt like this again
