GitHub wraps artifacts generated by workflows in a .zip file.

Internally, workflows can package anything they like in them.

A recently generated failure artifact had the form:

windows-artifacts.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
 76001695  12-19-2023 01:35   artifacts.tar.gz
 11005650  12-19-2023 01:35   tracked.tar.gz
---------                     -------
 87007345                     2 files
