Description

The library we use for zip/unzip functionality is currently unmaintained.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of time and loss of interest, this project will no longer be actively maintained.

https://github.com/mvdnes/zip-rs

We should probably find a suitable replacement (for as long as we still rely on zip file format).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find a maintained Rust library for zip file handling, evaluate alternatives like 'zip' crate or others, and update the dependency in Cargo.toml accordingly.
