No backport to This is a comment-only cleanup that rewords existing source comments; it fixes no user-visible defect and changes no runtime behavior, so it does not qualify as a stability fix for the maintenance line.

What
Why
Several comments described how the runtime evolved rather than what the current code requires, and some still described compression as gzip-only. That made the most complex code harder to read and occasionally misleading.
Impact
Documentation-only source changes; runtime behavior is unchanged.
