Grzegorz MartensandClaude Opus 5.5 ade8ebbdb4 M2.6: a run pays for what a stream costs, not what it holds
Four ways round the allowance, each measured by a review of hostile input:

A Flate stream read as zlib that fails at once, and then as raw deflate that
decodes everything before failing, gave nothing back and so was charged
nothing, here and in DecodeBudget: 110 s for a 387 KB file, all decoded. What
the retry decoded now counts, though the data is still dropped as it was.

Fax and 1-bit Flate images paid by the byte for work done by the pixel: 19
bytes can be a blank page of 100 million pixels, about a second each. Every
image decoded here now pays for its pixels first, as JBIG2 already did.

A JPEG paid nothing, and what one asks for doesn't grow with its length: 156
bytes declared 80 megapixels, 72 s for an 8 KB file. A JPEG pays for its
samples before it is decoded, in Optimize and in an export that has to decode
one for its mask.

Merging fragments paid for reading strips and not for the picture it built:
393 s for 1,154 bytes. It pays for the picture before allocating it.
