TASK: GZIP Compression Tool

Write a program that compresses and decompresses files using the GZIP format with configurable compression levels, integrity verification, and streaming support for large files.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a file path and mode (compress or decompress) as command-line arguments
- Compress files using the DEFLATE algorithm wrapped in GZIP format (.gz extension)
- Support configurable compression level via --level flag (1=fastest, 9=best compression; default: 6)
- Decompress .gz files back to their original content, preserving the original filename stored in the GZIP header
- Process files in streaming chunks to handle files larger than available memory, with configurable buffer size via --buffer flag (default: 64KB)
- Display real-time progress during compression/decompression: percentage complete, current speed, and estimated time remaining
- Verify file integrity after compression by checking CRC-32 checksums stored in the GZIP header via --verify flag
- Support compressing multiple files via --batch flag (each file becomes a separate .gz file)
- Preserve original file timestamps in the GZIP header and restore them during decompression
- Support keeping or removing the original file via --keep flag (default: keep original)
- Print compression summary: original size, compressed size, compression ratio, time taken, and throughput (MB/s)
- Save operation log as JSON with --log flag
- If no input is given, generate sample files of different types (text, CSV, JSON, binary with random data), compress each, compare compression ratios across file types, decompress, and verify integrity matches
- Handle errors: corrupted GZIP files, truncated files, CRC mismatch, disk full, and unsupported GZIP extensions

Create a complete JavaScript project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Node.js 20+ (LTS) installed. Include:
- Source code
- package.json with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# GZIP Compression Tool (JavaScript)

A GZIP compression and decompression tool using Node.js's built-in `zlib` module.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Node.js 20+ (LTS) is installed.
2. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   npm install
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Compress a file**:
  ```bash
  node gzip_tool.js compress data.txt --level 9
  ```
- **Decompress a file**:
  ```bash
  node gzip_tool.js decompress data.txt.gz
  ```
