Under which category would you file this issue?
Airflow Core
Apache Airflow version
3.3.1
What happened and how to reproduce it?
Dags that are deployed as zip files do not trigger the dag version inflation check configured in dag_version_inflation_check_level because the Dag Processor is passing the file it is processing as is to the checker. The checker tries to parse the zip file’s raw bytes as Python and silently returns no findings when parsing fails.
What you think should happen instead?
Individual dags within the zip file are checked
