Default options passed to Archiver's constructor and merged into the data passed to its append method.
On Windows, directories created by the filesystem often lack execute permissions, which can cause "Permission denied" errors when extracting tarballs on Unix systems. This package automatically detects and fixes this issue on Windows by letting Archiver use proper defaults for directories without execute permissions.
If you need to explicitly control this behavior, you can use {mode: null} to always use Archiver's defaults, regardless of the source file permissions.
