+# Plan: Implement Missing Async Functionality in SharpCompress
+
+SharpCompress has async support for low-level stream operations and Reader/Writer APIs, but critical entry points (Archive.Open, factory methods, initialization) remain synchronous. This plan adds async overloads for all user-facing I/O operations and fixes existing async bugs, enabling full end-to-end async workflows.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Add async factory methods** to [ArchiveFactory.cs](src/SharpCompress/Factories/ArchiveFactory.cs), [ReaderFactory.cs](src/SharpCompress/Factories/ReaderFactory.cs), and [WriterFactory.cs](src/SharpCompress/Factories/WriterFactory.cs) with `OpenAsync` and `CreateAsync` overloads accepting `CancellationToken`
+
+2. **Implement async Open methods** on concrete archive types ([ZipArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/Zip/ZipArchive.cs), [TarArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/Tar/TarArchive.cs), [RarArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/Rar/RarArchive.cs), [GZipArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/GZip/GZipArchive.cs), [SevenZipArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/SevenZip/SevenZipArchive.cs)) and reader types ([ZipReader.cs](src/SharpCompress/Readers/Zip/ZipReader.cs), [TarReader.cs](src/SharpCompress/Readers/Tar/TarReader.cs), etc.)
+
+3. **Convert archive initialization logic to async** including header reading, volume loading, and format signature detection across archive constructors and internal initialization methods
+
+4. **Fix LZMA decoder async bugs** in [LzmaStream.cs](src/SharpCompress/Compressors/LZMA/LzmaStream.cs), [Decoder.cs](src/SharpCompress/Compressors/LZMA/Decoder.cs), and [OutWindow.cs](src/SharpCompress/Compressors/LZMA/OutWindow.cs) to enable true async 7Zip support and remove `NonDisposingStream` workaround
+
+5. **Complete Rar async implementation** by converting `UnpackV2017` methods to async in [UnpackV2017.cs](src/SharpCompress/Compressors/Rar/UnpackV2017.cs) and updating Rar20 decompression
+
+6. **Add comprehensive async tests** covering all new async entry points, cancellation scenarios, and concurrent operations across all archive formats in test files
+
+## Further Considerations
+
+1. **Breaking changes** - Should new async methods be added alongside existing sync methods (non-breaking), or should sync methods eventually be deprecated? Recommend additive approach for backward compatibility.
+
+2. **Performance impact** - Header parsing for formats like Zip/Tar is often small; consider whether truly async parsing adds value vs sync parsing wrapped in Task, or make it conditional based on stream type (network vs file).
+
+3. **7Zip complexity** - The LZMA async bug fix (Step 4) may be challenging due to state management in the decoder; consider whether to scope it separately or implement a simpler workaround that maintains correctness.

+# Plan: Modernize SharpCompress Public API
+
+Based on comprehensive analysis, the API has several inconsistencies around factory patterns, async support, format capabilities, and options classes. Most improvements can be done incrementally without breaking changes.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Standardize factory patterns** by deprecating format-specific static `Open` methods in [Archives/Zip/ZipArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/Zip/ZipArchive.cs), [Archives/Tar/TarArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/Tar/TarArchive.cs), etc. in favor of centralized [Factories/ArchiveFactory.cs](src/SharpCompress/Factories/ArchiveFactory.cs)
+
+2. **Complete async implementation** in [Writers/Zip/ZipWriter.cs](src/SharpCompress/Writers/Zip/ZipWriter.cs) and other writers that currently use sync-over-async, implementing true async I/O throughout the writer hierarchy
+
+3. **Unify options classes** by making [Common/ExtractionOptions.cs](src/SharpCompress/Common/ExtractionOptions.cs) inherit from `OptionsBase` and adding progress reporting to extraction methods consistently
+
+4. **Clarify GZip semantics** in [Archives/GZip/GZipArchive.cs](src/SharpCompress/Archives/GZip/GZipArchive.cs) by adding XML documentation explaining single-entry limitation and relationship to GZip compression used in Tar.gz
+
+## Further Considerations
+
+1. **Breaking changes roadmap** - Should we plan a major version (2.0) to remove deprecated factory methods, clean up `ArchiveType` enum (remove Arc/Arj or add full support), and consolidate naming patterns?
+
+2. **Progress reporting consistency** - Should `IProgress<ArchiveExtractionProgress<IEntry>>` be added to all extraction extension methods or consolidated into options classes?
+
+## Detailed Analysis
+
+### Factory Pattern Issues
+
+Three different factory patterns exist with overlapping functionality:
+
+1. **Static Factories**: ArchiveFactory, ReaderFactory, WriterFactory
+2. **Instance Factories**: IArchiveFactory, IReaderFactory, IWriterFactory
+3. **Format-specific static methods**: Each archive class has static `Open` methods
+
+**Example confusion:**
+```csharp
+// Three ways to open a Zip archive - which is recommended?
+var archive1 = ArchiveFactory.Open("file.zip");
+var archive2 = ZipArchive.Open("file.zip");
+var archive3 = ArchiveFactory.AutoFactory.Open(fileInfo, options);
+```
+
+### Async Support Gaps
+
+Base `IWriter` interface has async methods, but writer implementations provide minimal async support. Most writers just call synchronous methods:
+
+```csharp
+public virtual async Task WriteAsync(...)
+{
+    // Default implementation calls synchronous version
+    Write(filename, source, modificationTime);
+    await Task.CompletedTask.ConfigureAwait(false);
+}
+```
+
+Real async implementations only in:
+- `TarWriter` - Proper async implementation
+- Most other writers use sync-over-async
+
+### GZip Archive Special Case
+
+GZip is treated as both a compression format and an archive format, but only supports single-entry archives:
+
+```csharp
+protected override GZipArchiveEntry CreateEntryInternal(...)
+{
+    if (Entries.Any())
+    {
+        throw new InvalidFormatException("Only one entry is allowed in a GZip Archive");
+    }
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+### Options Class Hierarchy
+
+```
+OptionsBase (LeaveStreamOpen, ArchiveEncoding)
+  ├─ ReaderOptions (LookForHeader, Password, DisableCheckIncomplete, BufferSize, ExtensionHint, Progress)
+  ├─ WriterOptions (CompressionType, CompressionLevel, Progress)
+  │   ├─ ZipWriterOptions (ArchiveComment, UseZip64)
+  │   ├─ TarWriterOptions (FinalizeArchiveOnClose, HeaderFormat)
+  │   └─ GZipWriterOptions (no additional properties)
+  └─ ExtractionOptions (standalone - Overwrite, ExtractFullPath, PreserveFileTime, PreserveAttributes)
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- `ExtractionOptions` doesn't inherit from `OptionsBase` - no encoding support during extraction
+- Progress reporting inconsistency between readers and extraction
+- Obsolete properties (`ChecksumIsValid`, `Version`) with unclear migration path
+
+### Implementation Priorities
+
+**High Priority (Non-Breaking):**
+1. Add API usage guide (Archive vs Reader, factory recommendations, async best practices)
+2. Fix progress reporting consistency
+3. Complete async implementation in writers
+
+**Medium Priority (Next Major Version):**
+1. Unify factory pattern - deprecate format-specific static `Open` methods
+2. Clean up options classes - make `ExtractionOptions` inherit from `OptionsBase`
+3. Clarify archive types - remove Arc/Arj from `ArchiveType` enum or add full support
+4. Standardize naming across archive types
+
+**Low Priority:**
+1. Add BZip2 archive support similar to GZipArchive
+2. Complete obsolete property cleanup with migration guide
+
+### Backward Compatibility Strategy
+
+**Safe (Non-Breaking) Changes:**
+- Add new methods to interfaces (use default implementations)
+- Add new options properties (with defaults)
+- Add new factory methods
+- Improve async implementations
+- Add progress reporting support
+
+**Breaking Changes to Avoid:**
+- ❌ Removing format-specific `Open` methods (deprecate instead)
+- ❌ Changing `LeaveStreamOpen` default (currently `true`)
+- ❌ Removing obsolete properties before major version bump
+- ❌ Changing return types or signatures of existing methods
+
+**Deprecation Pattern:**
+- Use `[Obsolete]` for one major version
+- Use `[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]` in next major version
+- Remove in following major version

+# NuGet Release Workflow
+
+This document describes the automated NuGet release workflow for SharpCompress.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `nuget-release.yml` workflow automatically builds, tests, and publishes SharpCompress packages to NuGet.org when:
+- Changes are pushed to the `master` or `release` branch
+- A version tag (format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`) is pushed
+
+The workflow runs on both Windows and Ubuntu, but only the Windows build publishes to NuGet.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Version Determination
+
+The workflow automatically determines the version based on whether the commit is tagged using C# code in the build project:
+
+1. **Tagged Release (Stable)**:
+   - If the current commit has a version tag (e.g., `0.42.1`)
+   - Uses the tag as the version number
+   - Published as a stable release
+
+2. **Untagged Release (Prerelease)**:
+   - If the current commit is NOT tagged
+   - Creates a prerelease version based on the next minor version
+   - Format: `{NEXT_MINOR_VERSION}-beta.{COMMIT_COUNT}`
+   - Example: `0.43.0-beta.123` (if last tag is 0.42.x)
+   - Published as a prerelease to NuGet.org (Windows build only)
+
+### Workflow Steps
+
+The workflow runs on a matrix of operating systems (Windows and Ubuntu):
+
+1. **Checkout**: Fetches the repository with full history for version detection
+2. **Setup .NET**: Installs .NET 10.0
+3. **Determine Version**: Runs `determine-version` build target to check for tags and determine version
+4. **Update Version**: Runs `update-version` build target to update the version in the project file
+5. **Build and Test**: Runs the full build and test suite on both platforms
+6. **Upload Artifacts**: Uploads the generated `.nupkg` files as workflow artifacts (separate for each OS)
+7. **Push to NuGet**: (Windows only) Runs `push-to-nuget` build target to publish the package to NuGet.org using the API key
+
+All version detection, file updates, and publishing logic is implemented in C# in the `build/Program.cs` file using build targets.
+
+## Setup Requirements
+
+### 1. NuGet API Key Secret
+
+The workflow requires a `NUGET_API_KEY` secret to be configured in the repository settings:
+
+1. Go to https://www.nuget.org/account/apikeys
+2. Create a new API key with "Push" permission for the SharpCompress package
+3. In GitHub, go to: **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
+4. Create a new secret named `NUGET_API_KEY` with the API key value
+
+### 2. Branch Protection (Recommended)
+
+Consider enabling branch protection rules for the `release` branch to ensure:
+- Code reviews are required before merging
+- Status checks pass before merging
+- Only authorized users can push to the branch
+
+## Usage
+
+### Creating a Stable Release
+
+There are two ways to trigger a stable release:
+
+**Method 1: Push tag to trigger workflow**
+1. Ensure all changes are committed on the `master` or `release` branch
+2. Create and push a version tag:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master  # or release
+   git tag 0.43.0
+   git push origin 0.43.0
+   ```
+3. The workflow will automatically trigger, build, test, and publish `SharpCompress 0.43.0` to NuGet.org (Windows build)
+
+**Method 2: Tag after pushing to branch**
+1. Ensure all changes are merged and pushed to the `master` or `release` branch
+2. Create and push a version tag on the already-pushed commit:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master  # or release
+   git tag 0.43.0
+   git push origin 0.43.0
+   ```
+3. The workflow will automatically trigger, build, test, and publish `SharpCompress 0.43.0` to NuGet.org (Windows build)
+
+### Creating a Prerelease
+
+1. Push changes to the `master` or `release` branch without tagging:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master  # or release
+   git push origin master  # or release
+   ```
+2. The workflow will automatically:
+   - Build and test the project on both Windows and Ubuntu
+   - Publish a prerelease version like `0.43.0-beta.456` to NuGet.org (Windows build)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Workflow Fails to Push to NuGet
+
+- **Check the API Key**: Ensure `NUGET_API_KEY` is set correctly in repository secrets
+- **Check API Key Permissions**: Verify the API key has "Push" permission for SharpCompress
+- **Check API Key Expiration**: NuGet API keys may expire; create a new one if needed
+
+### Version Conflict
+
+If you see "Package already exists" errors:
+- The workflow uses `--skip-duplicate` flag to handle this gracefully
+- If you need to republish the same version, delete it from NuGet.org first (if allowed)
+
+### Build or Test Failures
+
+- The workflow will not push to NuGet if build or tests fail
+- Check the workflow logs in GitHub Actions for details
+- Fix the issues and push again
+
+## Manual Package Creation
+
+If you need to create a package manually without publishing:
+
+```bash
+dotnet run --project build/build.csproj -- publish
+```
+
+The package will be created in the `artifacts/` directory.
+
+## Build Targets
+
+The workflow uses the following C# build targets defined in `build/Program.cs`:
+
+- **determine-version**: Detects version from git tags and outputs VERSION and PRERELEASE variables
+- **update-version**: Updates VersionPrefix, AssemblyVersion, and FileVersion in the project file
+- **push-to-nuget**: Pushes the generated NuGet packages to NuGet.org (requires NUGET_API_KEY)
+
+These targets can be run manually for testing:
+
+```bash
+# Determine the version
+dotnet run --project build/build.csproj -- determine-version
+
+# Update version in project file
+VERSION=0.43.0 dotnet run --project build/build.csproj -- update-version
+
+# Push to NuGet (requires NUGET_API_KEY environment variable)
+NUGET_API_KEY=your-key dotnet run --project build/build.csproj -- push-to-nuget
+```

+# Testing Guide for NuGet Release Workflow
+
+This document describes how to test the NuGet release workflow.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Since this workflow publishes to NuGet.org and requires repository secrets, testing should be done carefully. The workflow runs on both Windows and Ubuntu, but only the Windows build publishes to NuGet.
+
+## Pre-Testing Checklist
+
+- [x] Workflow YAML syntax validated
+- [x] Version determination logic tested locally
+- [x] Version update logic tested locally
+- [x] Build script works (`dotnet run --project build/build.csproj`)
+
+## Manual Testing Steps
+
+### 1. Test Prerelease Publishing (Recommended First Test)
+
+This tests the workflow on untagged commits to the master or release branch.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Ensure `NUGET_API_KEY` secret is configured in repository settings
+2. Create a test commit on the `master` or `release` branch (e.g., update a comment or README)
+3. Push to the `master` or `release` branch
+4. Monitor the GitHub Actions workflow at: https://github.com/adamhathcock/sharpcompress/actions
+5. Verify:
+   - Workflow triggers and runs successfully on both Windows and Ubuntu
+   - Version is determined correctly (e.g., `0.43.0-beta.XXX` if last tag is 0.42.x)
+   - Build and tests pass on both platforms
+   - Package artifacts are uploaded for both platforms
+   - Package is pushed to NuGet.org as prerelease (Windows build only)
+
+**Expected Outcome:**
+- A new prerelease package appears on NuGet.org: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SharpCompress/
+- Package version follows pattern: `{NEXT_MINOR_VERSION}-beta.{COMMIT_COUNT}`
+
+### 2. Test Tagged Release Publishing
+
+This tests the workflow when a version tag is pushed.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Prepare the `master` or `release` branch with all desired changes
+2. Create a version tag (must be a pure semantic version like `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`):
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master  # or release
+   git tag 0.42.2
+   git push origin 0.42.2
+   ```
+3. Monitor the GitHub Actions workflow
+4. Verify:
+   - Workflow triggers and runs successfully on both Windows and Ubuntu
+   - Version is determined as the tag (e.g., `0.42.2`)
+   - Build and tests pass on both platforms
+   - Package artifacts are uploaded for both platforms
+   - Package is pushed to NuGet.org as stable release (Windows build only)
+
+**Expected Outcome:**
+- A new stable release package appears on NuGet.org
+- Package version matches the tag
+
+### 3. Test Duplicate Package Handling
+
+This tests the `--skip-duplicate` flag behavior.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Push to the `release` branch without making changes
+2. Monitor the workflow
+3. Verify:
+   - Workflow runs but NuGet push is skipped with "duplicate" message
+   - No errors occur
+
+### 4. Test Build Failure Handling
+
+This tests that failed builds don't publish packages.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Introduce a breaking change in a test or code
+2. Push to the `release` branch
+3. Verify:
+   - Workflow runs and detects the failure
+   - Build or test step fails
+   - NuGet push step is skipped
+   - No package is published
+
+## Verification
+
+After each test, verify:
+
+1. **GitHub Actions Logs**: Check the workflow logs for any errors or warnings
+2. **NuGet.org**: Verify the package appears with correct version and metadata
+3. **Artifacts**: Download and inspect the uploaded artifacts
+
+## Rollback/Cleanup
+
+If testing produces unwanted packages:
+
+1. **Prerelease packages**: Can be unlisted on NuGet.org (Settings → Unlist)
+2. **Stable packages**: Cannot be deleted, only unlisted (use test versions)
+3. **Tags**: Can be deleted with:
+   ```bash
+   git tag -d 0.42.2
+   git push origin :refs/tags/0.42.2
+   ```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- NuGet.org does not allow re-uploading the same version
+- Deleted packages on NuGet.org reserve the version number
+- The workflow requires the `NUGET_API_KEY` secret to be set
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+The workflow is considered successful if:
+
+- ✅ Prerelease versions are published correctly with beta suffix
+- ✅ Tagged versions are published as stable releases
+- ✅ Build and test failures prevent publishing
+- ✅ Duplicate packages are handled gracefully
+- ✅ Workflow logs are clear and informative

+description: 'Guidelines for building SharpCompress - A C# compression library'
+applyTo: '**/*.cs'
+---
+
+# SharpCompress Development
+
+## About SharpCompress
+SharpCompress is a pure C# compression library supporting multiple archive formats (Zip, Tar, GZip, BZip2, 7Zip, Rar, LZip, XZ, ZStandard) for .NET Framework 4.62, .NET Standard 2.1, .NET 6.0, and .NET 8.0. The library provides both seekable Archive APIs and forward-only Reader/Writer APIs for streaming scenarios.
+
+## C# Instructions
+- Always use the latest version C#, currently C# 13 features.
+- Write clear and concise comments for each function.
+- Follow the existing code style and patterns in the codebase.
+
+## General Instructions
+- Make only high confidence suggestions when reviewing code changes.
+- Write code with good maintainability practices, including comments on why certain design decisions were made.
+- Handle edge cases and write clear exception handling.
+- For libraries or external dependencies, mention their usage and purpose in comments.
+- Preserve backward compatibility when making changes to public APIs.
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+- Follow PascalCase for component names, method names, and public members.
+- Use camelCase for private fields and local variables.
+- Prefix interface names with "I" (e.g., IUserService).
+
+## Code Formatting
+
+**Copilot agents: You MUST run the `format` task after making code changes to ensure consistency.**
+
+- Use CSharpier for code formatting to ensure consistent style across the project
+- CSharpier is configured as a local tool in `.config/dotnet-tools.json`
+
+### Commands
+
+1. **Restore tools** (first time only):
+   ```bash
+   dotnet tool restore
+   ```
+
+2. **Check if files are formatted correctly** (doesn't modify files):
+   ```bash
+   dotnet csharpier check .
+   ```
+   - Exit code 0: All files are properly formatted
+   - Exit code 1: Some files need formatting (will show which files and differences)
+
+3. **Format files** (modifies files):
+   ```bash
+   dotnet csharpier format .
+   ```
+   - Formats all files in the project to match CSharpier style
+   - Run from project root directory
+
+4. **Configure your IDE** to format on save using CSharpier for the best experience
+
+### Additional Notes
+- The project also uses `.editorconfig` for editor settings (indentation, encoding, etc.)
+- Let CSharpier handle code style while `.editorconfig` handles editor behavior
+- Always run `dotnet csharpier check .` before committing to verify formatting
+
+## Project Setup and Structure
+
+- The project targets multiple frameworks: .NET Framework 4.62, .NET Standard 2.1, .NET 6.0, and .NET 8.0
+- Main library is in `src/SharpCompress/`
+- Tests are in `tests/SharpCompress.Test/`
+- Performance tests are in `tests/SharpCompress.Performance/`
+- Test archives are in `tests/TestArchives/`
+- Build project is in `build/`
+- Use `dotnet build` to build the solution
+- Use `dotnet test` to run tests
+- Solution file: `SharpCompress.sln`

+  ├── TestBase.cs      # Base test class with helper methods
+  └── TestArchives/    # Test data (not checked into main test project)
+```
+
+### Factory Pattern
+All format types implement factory interfaces (`IArchiveFactory`, `IReaderFactory`, `IWriterFactory`) for auto-detection:
+- `ReaderFactory.Open()` - Auto-detects format by probing stream
+- `WriterFactory.Open()` - Creates writer for specified `ArchiveType`
+- Factories located in: `src/SharpCompress/Factories/`
+
+## Nullable Reference Types
+
+- Declare variables non-nullable, and check for `null` at entry points.
+- Always use `is null` or `is not null` instead of `== null` or `!= null`.
+- Trust the C# null annotations and don't add null checks when the type system says a value cannot be null.
+
+## SharpCompress-Specific Guidelines
+
+### Supported Formats
+SharpCompress supports multiple archive and compression formats:
+- **Archive Formats**: Zip, Tar, 7Zip, Rar (read-only)
+- **Compression**: DEFLATE, BZip2, LZMA/LZMA2, PPMd, ZStandard (decompress only), Deflate64 (decompress only)
+- **Combined Formats**: Tar.GZip, Tar.BZip2, Tar.LZip, Tar.XZ, Tar.ZStandard
+- See FORMATS.md for complete format support matrix
+
+### Stream Handling Rules
+- **Disposal**: As of version 0.21, SharpCompress closes wrapped streams by default
+- Use `ReaderOptions` or `WriterOptions` with `LeaveStreamOpen = true` to control stream disposal
+- Use `NonDisposingStream` wrapper when working with compression streams directly to prevent disposal
+- Always dispose of readers, writers, and archives in `using` blocks
+- For forward-only operations, use Reader/Writer APIs; for random access, use Archive APIs
+
+### Async/Await Patterns
+- All I/O operations support async/await with `CancellationToken`
+- Async methods follow the naming convention: `MethodNameAsync`
+- Key async methods:
+  - `WriteEntryToAsync` - Extract entry asynchronously
+  - `WriteAllToDirectoryAsync` - Extract all entries asynchronously
+  - `WriteAsync` - Write entry asynchronously
+  - `WriteAllAsync` - Write directory asynchronously
+  - `OpenEntryStreamAsync` - Open entry stream asynchronously
+- Always provide `CancellationToken` parameter in async methods
+
+### Archive APIs vs Reader/Writer APIs
+- **Archive API**: Use for random access with seekable streams (e.g., `ZipArchive`, `TarArchive`)
+- **Reader API**: Use for forward-only reading on non-seekable streams (e.g., `ZipReader`, `TarReader`)
+- **Writer API**: Use for forward-only writing on streams (e.g., `ZipWriter`, `TarWriter`)
+- 7Zip only supports Archive API due to format limitations
+
+### Tar-Specific Considerations
+- Tar format requires file size in the header
+- If no size is specified to TarWriter and the stream is not seekable, an exception will be thrown
+- Tar combined with compression (GZip, BZip2, LZip, XZ) is supported
+
+### Zip-Specific Considerations
+- Supports Zip64 for large files (seekable streams only)
+- Supports PKWare and WinZip AES encryption
+- Multiple compression methods: None, Shrink, Reduce, Implode, DEFLATE, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA, PPMd
+- Encrypted LZMA is not supported
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- For large files, use Reader/Writer APIs with non-seekable streams to avoid loading entire file in memory
+- Leverage async I/O for better scalability
+- Consider compression level trade-offs (speed vs. size)
+- Use appropriate buffer sizes for stream operations
+
+## Testing
+
+- Always include test cases for critical paths of the application.
+- Test with multiple archive formats when making changes to core functionality.
+- Include tests for both Archive and Reader/Writer APIs when applicable.
+- Test async operations with cancellation tokens.
+- Do not emit "Act", "Arrange" or "Assert" comments.
+- Copy existing style in nearby files for test method names and capitalization.
+- Use test archives from `tests/TestArchives` directory for consistency.
+- Test stream disposal and `LeaveStreamOpen` behavior.
+- Test edge cases: empty archives, large files, corrupted archives, encrypted archives.
+
+### Test Organization
+- Base class: `TestBase` - Provides `TEST_ARCHIVES_PATH`, `SCRATCH_FILES_PATH`, temp directory management
+- Framework: xUnit with AwesomeAssertions
+- Test archives: `tests/TestArchives/` - Use existing archives, don't create new ones unnecessarily
+- Match naming style of nearby test files
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Don't mix Archive and Reader APIs** - Archive needs seekable stream, Reader doesn't
+2. **Solid archives (Rar, 7Zip)** - Use `ExtractAllEntries()` for best performance, not individual entry extraction
+3. **Stream disposal** - Always set `LeaveStreamOpen` explicitly when needed (default is to close)
+4. **Tar + non-seekable stream** - Must provide file size or it will throw
+5. **Multi-framework differences** - Some features differ between .NET Framework and modern .NET (e.g., Mono.Posix)
+6. **Format detection** - Use `ReaderFactory.Open()` for auto-detection, test with actual archive files

See [Zip Format Notes](#zip-format-notes) for details on multi-volume archives and streaming behavior.

 5. LZip has no support for extra data like the file name or timestamp. There is a default filename used when looking at the entry Key on the archive.
 
+### Zip Format Notes
+
+- Multi-volume/split ZIP archives require ZipArchive (seekable streams) as ZipReader cannot seek across volume files.
+- ZipReader processes entries from LocalEntry headers (which include directory entries ending with `/`) and intentionally skips DirectoryEntry headers from the central directory, as they are redundant in streaming mode - all entry data comes from LocalEntry headers which ZipReader has already processed.
+
+### 7Zip Format Notes
+
+- **Async Extraction Performance**: When using async extraction methods (e.g., `ExtractAllEntries()` with `MoveToNextEntryAsync()`), each file creates its own decompression stream to avoid state corruption in the LZMA decoder. This is less efficient than synchronous extraction, which can reuse a single decompression stream for multiple files in the same folder.
+  
+  **Performance Impact**: For archives with many small files in the same compression folder, async extraction will be slower than synchronous extraction because it must:
+  1. Create a new LZMA decoder for each file
+  2. Skip through the decompressed data to reach each file's starting position
+  
+  **Recommendation**: For best performance with 7Zip archives, use synchronous extraction methods (`MoveToNextEntry()` and `WriteEntryToDirectory()`) when possible. Use async methods only when you need to avoid blocking the thread (e.g., in UI applications or async-only contexts).
+  
+  **Technical Details**: 7Zip archives group files into "folders" (compression units), where all files in a folder share one continuous LZMA-compressed stream. The LZMA decoder maintains internal state (dictionary window, decoder positions) that assumes sequential, non-interruptible processing. Async operations can yield control during awaits, which would corrupt this shared state. To avoid this, async extraction creates a fresh decoder stream for each file.
+
 ## Compression Streams
 
 For those who want to directly compress/decompress bits. The single file formats are represented here as well. However, BZip2, LZip and XZ have no metadata (GZip has a little) so using them without something like a Tar file makes little sense.

 # SharpCompress
 
-SharpCompress is a compression library in pure C# for .NET Standard 2.0, 2.1, .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5.0 that can unrar, un7zip, unzip, untar unbzip2, ungzip, unlzip with forward-only reading and file random access APIs. Write support for zip/tar/bzip2/gzip/lzip are implemented.
+SharpCompress is a compression library in pure C# for .NET Framework 4.8, .NET 8.0 and .NET 10.0 that can unrar, un7zip, unzip, untar unbzip2, ungzip, unlzip, unzstd, unarc and unarj with forward-only reading and file random access APIs. Write support for zip/tar/bzip2/gzip/lzip are implemented.
 
 The major feature is support for non-seekable streams so large files can be processed on the fly (i.e. download stream).
 
+**NEW:** All I/O operations now support async/await for improved performance and scalability. See the [USAGE.md](USAGE.md#async-examples) for examples.

 Zip is okay, but it's a very hap-hazard format and the variation in headers and implementations makes it hard to get correct. Uses Deflate by default but supports a lot of compression methods.

+RAR is not recommended as it's a proprietary format and the compression is closed source. Use Tar/LZip for LZMA
 
 7Zip and XZ both are overly complicated. 7Zip does not support streamable formats. XZ has known holes explained here: (http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xz_inadequate.html) Use Tar/LZip for LZMA compression instead.
 
+ZStandard is an efficient format that works well for streaming with a flexible compression level to tweak the speed/performance trade off you are looking for.  We currently only implement decompression for ZStandard but as we leverage the [ZstdSharp](https://github.com/oleg-st/ZstdSharp) library one could likely add compression support without much trouble (PRs are welcome!).

-### Version 0.10:
-
-* Added support for RAR Decryption (thanks to https://github.com/hrasyid)
-* Embedded some BouncyCastle crypto classes to allow RAR Decryption and Winzip AES Decryption in Portable and Windows Store DLLs
-* Built in Release (I think)

 # SharpCompress Usage
 
+## Async/Await Support
+
+SharpCompress now provides full async/await support for all I/O operations. All `Read`, `Write`, and extraction operations have async equivalents ending in `Async` that accept an optional `CancellationToken`. This enables better performance and scalability for I/O-bound operations.
+
+**Key Async Methods:**
+- `reader.WriteEntryToAsync(stream, cancellationToken)` - Extract entry asynchronously  
+- `reader.WriteAllToDirectoryAsync(path, options, cancellationToken)` - Extract all asynchronously
+- `writer.WriteAsync(filename, stream, modTime, cancellationToken)` - Write entry asynchronously
+- `writer.WriteAllAsync(directory, pattern, searchOption, cancellationToken)` - Write directory asynchronously
+- `entry.OpenEntryStreamAsync(cancellationToken)` - Open entry stream asynchronously
+
+See [Async Examples](#async-examples) section below for usage patterns.
+
 ## Stream Rules (changed with 0.21)
 
 When dealing with Streams, the rule should be that you don't close a stream you didn't create. This, in effect, should mean you should always put a Stream in a using block to dispose it.

-### Extract all files from a Rar file to a directory using RarArchive
+### Extract all files from a rar file to a directory using RarArchive
+
+Note: Extracting a solid rar or 7z file needs to be done in sequential order to get acceptable decompression speed.
+`ExtractAllEntries` is primarily intended for solid archives (like solid Rar) or 7Zip archives, where sequential extraction provides the best performance. For general/simple extraction with any supported archive type, use `archive.WriteToDirectory()` instead.
+
+```C#
+using (var archive = RarArchive.Open("Test.rar"))
+{
+    // Simple extraction with RarArchive; this WriteToDirectory pattern works for all archive types
+    archive.WriteToDirectory(@"D:\temp", new ExtractionOptions()
+    {
+        ExtractFullPath = true,
+        Overwrite = true
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### Iterate over all files from a Rar file using RarArchive
 
 ```C#
 using (var archive = RarArchive.Open("Test.rar"))
 {
     foreach (var entry in archive.Entries.Where(entry => !entry.IsDirectory))
     {
-        entry.WriteToDirectory("D:\\temp", new ExtractionOptions()

     }
 }
 ```
 
+### Extract solid Rar or 7Zip archives with progress reporting
+
+`ExtractAllEntries` only works for solid archives (Rar) or 7Zip archives. For optimal performance with these archive types, use this method:

+```C#

+

+{

+
+### Archive Async Examples
+
+**Extract from archive asynchronously:**
+```C#
+using (var archive = ZipArchive.Open("archive.zip"))
+{
+    // Simple async extraction - works for all archive types
+    await archive.WriteToDirectoryAsync(
+        @"C:\output",
+        new ExtractionOptions() { ExtractFullPath = true, Overwrite = true },
+        cancellationToken
+    );
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits of Async Operations:**
+- Non-blocking I/O for better application responsiveness
+- Improved scalability for server applications
+- Support for cancellation via CancellationToken
+- Better resource utilization in async/await contexts
+- Compatible with modern .NET async patterns
