[Jeffrey Cliff]

Package: onionshare
Version: 2.6.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after last update, when i click 'start sharing' on a file share my
logs are showing

[2026-08-11 11:51:33,548] ERROR in app: Exception on / [GET]

AttributeError: 'ShareModeWeb' object has no attribute 'gzip_filesize'

also a bunch of HTTP 500s in the logs

meanwhile it's still saying "Starting..." on the green button but
the progress % also isn't present anymore

[ie it's almost like onionshare is allowing visits to the website
before it is initialized]
