nx_zip_deflate_selected_candidate_t144.nx

nx_zip_deflate_lib.nx -- ZIP method-8 (DEFLATE) ENTRY WRITER, composing the two incumbents the estate already proves: nx_zip.nx (the STORED writer + reader, its reflected CRC-32 and its central-directory shape) and nx_deflate_enc.nx (the sovereign RFC 1951 compressor). nx_zip.nx names this exact rung in its own header ("wiring nx_deflate_enc.nx in as method 8 is a compression improvement"); it lands as a SIBLING lib rather than an edit of nx_zip.nx so the writer's many importers do not grow the compressor into their closures. Same state vector (st[NX_ZIP_ST_*]), same finalize (nxzip_finalize): a caller mixes nxzip_add_stored and nxzip_add_deflated entries freely. WHY (2026-09-06, /compare/modding MD1): a bundle walker that reads only STORED entries is the DanceXR-class reader the rung exists to exceed; its gate needs a REAL method-8 fixture to prove the DEFLATE path and to make a STORED-only reader fail. A compressed member that would GROW is stored instead (csize would exceed usize): every real archiver does the same, and a caller can read the method back from the central directory to see which it got. license_tier: ORIGINAL No hw writes (Rule 26).
