+Subject: [PATCH] Read the zlib transform result directly in THeaderTransport
+ untransform Client: cpp
+
+The zlib read path decompressed the frame into the transform buffer and then copied the result back into the receive buffer. Swap the transform buffer in as the receive buffer and read the result directly instead of copying it.
+
+Adds a write/read round-trip test through the zlib transform.
+
+Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
+
+Backport notes:
+  - lib/cpp/src/thrift/transport/THeaderTransport.cpp: taken unchanged
+    from upstream.
+  - lib/cpp/test/ThrifttReadCheckTests.cpp: kept only the new
+    test_theadertransport_zlib_roundtrip test. The upstream
+    test_theadertransport_header_size_exceeds_frame test was dropped
+    because it depends on THRIFT-5854, which is not in 0.22.0. Added the
+    #include <thrift/transport/THeaderTransport.h> that the new test
+    needs (added upstream by THRIFT-5854).
