Hello,
when trying to run cfde-c2m2 package, I encountered this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
  File "<PATH>/lib/python3.14/site-packages/click/core.py", line 824, in invoke
    return callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "<PATH>/lib/python3.14/site-packages/cfde_c2m2/cli/package.py", line 19, in package
    with zf.open(path, 'w') as fw:
         ~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<PATH>/conda/envs/cfde/lib/python3.14/zipfile/__init__.py", line 1355, in close
    raise RuntimeError("File size too large, try using force_zip64")
RuntimeError: File size too large, try using force_zip64

It turns out that our file.tsv is ~5.0 GB, and that this is a limitation of the default parameters in zipfile.ZipFile().open(). My fix was to simply change line 19 of cli/package.py to add force_zip64=True, and it worked. I did not want to submit as a forked PR however, as you may want to add some kind of check on file sizes, so that the parameter is only called if needed.
