Requires human review: Modifies core logic for IPA generation and zip replication. Functional changes to the tool's primary output should be reviewed by a human.

Note over Replicator,Dst: Result: Valid IPA compatible with itms-services installation (standard CRC/Compression)

Requires human review: This modifies the core IPA generation logic by changing how zip entries are processed and copied. It's a functional bug fix in a critical path that warrants human review.

Summary by cubic
Fixes IPA generation so it installs via itms-services. Switches to standard zip APIs and ensures each entry is closed to produce a valid archive.
archive/zipOpen+CreateHeaderinstead of raw methods to write correct CRC/compression metadata.defer Close()to prevent leaks and incomplete copies.Written for commit 07a426f. Summary will update on new commits.
