 `LzmaStream` also rejects reads and writes after disposal. Failed initialization releases internal buffers without closing the supplied stream; successful construction retains the specified `leaveOpen` semantics. Disposal releases internal buffers even if finalization or underlying stream disposal throws.
 
-Once `LzmaStream` reports corrupt or truncated LZMA/LZMA2 data, it is in a terminal error state. Subsequent synchronous or asynchronous reads throw a decoding exception without consuming more input; dispose the stream instead of retrying it.
-
 `SharpCompress.Compressors.LZMA.Utilities.CrcCheckStream` validates its expected CRC on disposal. A mismatch throws `ArchiveOperationException`, but pooled buffers are still released. Repeated disposal is safe, including after failed CRC validation. Once disposed, `CanWrite` is `false`, and `Write` / `WriteAsync` throw `ObjectDisposedException`.

 If using Compression Stream classes directly and you don't want the wrapped stream to be closed.  Use the `NonDisposingStream` as a wrapper to prevent the stream being disposed.  The change in 0.21 simplified a lot even though the usage is a bit more convoluted.
