Zstd decompress

POST /api/zstd-decompress

Decompress a Zstandard (.zst) frame back to its original bytes. Validates the frame magic before decoding so non-zstd inputs fail with a clear error.

Decompresses a Zstandard frame and returns the original bytes. The frame magic is validated up-front so non-zstd inputs fail with a clear error instead of garbled output. Pair this with `zstd-compress` for round-trip workflows.
