The uses_zip64_descriptor field was incorrectly set to true whenever a ZIP64 extra field was present. However, a ZIP64 extra field may exist only for the local_header_offset (when offset > 4GB), while file sizes still fit in 32 bits. The data descriptor format depends on whether SIZES overflow 32-bit, not whether the offset does.

When uses_zip64_descriptor was incorrectly true, the stream processor consumed 24 bytes for the data descriptor instead of 16, causing it to misalign and fail to parse subsequent frames with errors like: "Stream processor error: Failed to parse frame at offset 97132"

The fix checks if compressed_size or uncompressed_size equals 0xFFFFFFFF in the central directory header (indicating the actual values are in the ZIP64 extra field) rather than just checking for ZIP64 extra field presence.
