Bun's compiled binary throws "Decompression error: ZlibError" when fetching certain pages (e.g. theregister.com). This is a known Bun bug in its streaming zlib decompression pipeline — it mishandles edge cases with chunked + gzip/br responses that Node.js processes fine. Changes: - Set Accept-Encoding to "gzip, deflate" (exclude brotli) in all REQUEST_HEADERS to avoid the most problematic codec. - Add isZlibError() detection and automatic retry with "Accept-Encoding: identity" in fetchHtmlDocument(), so if Bun's decompression still fails on gzip, the request is retried without any compression. Upstream Bun issues: - oven-sh/bun#23149 (open — ZlibError) - oven-sh/bun#18413 (ShortRead variant) - oven-sh/bun#8017 (original report) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
