The 20 GiB storage template holds ~650 KiB of real data, and shipping it as a sparse file meant releases depended on tar sparse-encoding interop that GNU tar rejects on macOS-built tarballs and that Nix materializes in full; shipping the compressed bytes instead removes the sparse member entirely and the engine restores the sparse file on first use.
