The debug toolbar middleware was failing to inject the toolbar HTML into gzip-compressed responses. When Litestar's compression middleware runs before the debug toolbar, the response body is gzip bytes, which cannot be decoded as UTF-8. The middleware silently returned the original body without injection. This fix: - Detects gzip content-encoding header - Decompresses the response body before injection - Injects the toolbar HTML into the decompressed HTML - Returns uncompressed response (strips content-encoding header) This ensures the toolbar is visible when compression is enabled, which is the default in many production-like configurations. Fixes toolbar not appearing on admin pages when compression is enabled. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Responded to review feedback requesting a GitHub issue be created to track support for additional compression formats (deflate, br, zstd) beyond the currently implemented gzip handling in toolbar injection middleware.
Changes
Context
The middleware at
src/debug_toolbar/litestar/middleware.py:494-503currently only decompresses gzip-encoded responses before toolbar injection. Other compression formats would result in silent failures where the toolbar isn't injected into compressed responses.✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
