     * This function decodes a compressed QByteArray until there are no more
     * bits available. (In a real LZX stream there is an end-of-stream marker;
     * here we simply stop if a required field cannot be read.)
     *
     * \param compressedData The input LZX–compressed data.
     * \param windowBits The log₂ of the sliding window size (default 15 → 32K).
     * \return A QByteArray containing the decompressed data.
