The signMcpbFile function appended a signature block to the ZIP file but did not update the EOCD comment_length field. Strict ZIP parsers (like Claude Desktop's) rejected these files because the declared comment length didn't account for the appended signature data. Now scans backwards for the EOCD magic bytes, reads the current comment_length, and adds the signature block length before concatenating.

Review by Claude Code
Clean, focused bug fix. Observations:
findEocdOffset()correctly scans backwards frombuffer.length - 22for the EOCD magic bytes (0x06054b50). The search range and byte-order handling look correct.- When EOCD is not found (offset === -1), the code silently skips the
comment_lengthupdate. This preserves backward compatibility — the file was already a valid ZIP before signing, so failing to update this field is a safe fallback rather than a hard error. - The
comment_lengthfield at EOCD+20 is correctly written as a 16-bit little-endian value reflecting the size of the appended signature block. - Test coverage verifies both the before state (comment_length=0) and after state (comment_length equals appended data size), which are the two key assertions for this fix.
- The test reimplements EOCD-finding logic rather than importing from
sign.ts— reasonable since the function is private and the test needs independent verification.
No issues found. This should resolve the strict ZIP parser rejections observed in Claude Desktop.
