Summary

Archive Compare is easier for first-time users (opens Folder Compare with an archive session):

  • Archive-aware empty/ready hints and empty-after-scan message
  • Archive path placeholders; Left/Right archive labels; Compare tip when a side is missing
  • Softer session status and path hint (drop extract-on-copy jargon)
  • Plain unsupported-format message when Archive… picks a non-ZIP/TAR/7z file

Test plan

  • vitest FolderCompareView (archive launch empty chrome, ready hint, Archive… reject)
  • lint / typecheck / stylelint via pre-commit
  • CI green

Make Archive Compare friendlier for first-time users: archive-aware
empty/ready hints, placeholders, side labels, Compare tip, plain
unsupported-format errors, and softer session status wording when the
session opens from Home or both sides are ZIP/TAR/7z.
