When running mkinitcpio lately, I get:

I think the Decomress message is new. It didn't appear before 30-dec-2021, or so. It is aligned with the start of the line, which is not the way most of the mkinitcpio output is indented. It is probably the output of line 876 of /usr/lib/initcpio/functions:
(( ${#zst_comp[*]} )) && zstd -d --rm -q "${zst_comp[@]}"
Note the -q, --quiet, could be the source of confusion, since it does not override the Decompress line. Perhaps this is a zstd issue, or that the line should have had a -q specified twice. Is it a bug? Who should address it?
It's a bug in zstd https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/2967 -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
