Move the VM-independent zlib-rs stream owner and state machine into a feature-gated rustpython-common module. Make rustpython-stdlib adapt that engine instead of carrying its own flate2 implementation, including native stream copy/deepcopy, Z_BLOCK flushes, and wbits=0 decompression. Assisted-by: Codex:GPT-5

Move the VM-independent liblzma stream owner, filter properties, and compression state into a target-gated rustpython-common module. Keep rustpython-stdlib as the Python object and exception adapter, and remove its direct xz dependencies and lzma-only generic compressor machinery. Assisted-by: Codex:GPT-5

In `@crates/common/src/compression/lzma.rs`:
- Around line 250-256: Update encode_filter_properties to validate lc, lp, and
pb before the property-byte arithmetic: require lc <= 4, lp <= 4, lc + lp <= 4,
and pb <= 4. On any violation, return Error::Lzma("Invalid or unsupported
options".to_owned()) before computing or encoding the result, preventing invalid
properties and arithmetic overflow.
In `@crates/common/src/compression/zlib.rs`:
- Around line 725-727: Update the flush stream-end handling in Decompressor so
it sets self.eof to true when flush reaches the end of the stream, alongside
clearing self.decompress. Preserve the existing eof update behavior in
Decompressor::decompress and ensure the stdlib zlib eof() getter reflects the
completed flush.
- Around line 86-87: Update the wbits range handling in the relevant conversion
function so negative values are rejected before the gzip (24..=31) and
auto-detect (40..=47) arms subtract their offsets. Preserve the existing
positive-range conversions and return the established invalid-option error for
negative inputs, matching CPython behavior.
- Around line 384-386: Update the empty-input handling in the decompression path
to leave the stream’s end-of-file state unchanged, matching CPython’s behavior
for decompressing empty bytes. Remove or adjust the early return in the relevant
zlib decompression method so subsequent input is still accepted while preserving
normal empty-output behavior.
In `@crates/stdlib/src/lzma.rs`:
- Around line 420-425: Update the FORMAT_ALONE branch in the compressor setup to
preserve supplied filter options: reject unsupported filter chains, or extract
and pass the single LZMA1 options to backend::Compressor::new instead of always
passing None. Ensure options such as dict_size are not silently ignored, while
retaining validation through filters.length(vm)?.
In `@crates/stdlib/src/zlib.rs`:
- Around line 274-286: Update compressobj to use new_init_or_zlib_error for
Compressor::new failures and normalize the invalid initialization message to
“Invalid initialization option”. Replace message-text matching in
new_init_or_zlib_error with a stable backend error classification, such as a
small error enum from the compression zlib backend, so exception mapping remains
correct when wording changes.

Summary
Move the VM-independent zlib stream engine into the feature-gated
rustpython-common::compression::zlibmodule and make the RustPython stdlib zlib module consume that shared engine.This removes the stdlib dependency on flate2, keeps zlib-rs as the pure-Rust backend, and provides exact stream-copy support needed by
compressobj.copy(),decompressobj.copy(),copy.copy(), andcopy.deepcopy(). It also enables the existing Z_BLOCK and wbits=0 test coverage.The common layer owns only byte buffers, stream state, and plain Rust errors. Python objects, exception mapping, and cached
unused_data/unconsumed_tailidentities remain in the stdlib adapter.Validation
