Hehe, why "probably"? It says "250 lines" right there in the subject. Surely one can skim the single file of code (https://github.com/ieviev/mini-gzip/blob/main/src/main.rs) and offer criticism that isn't based on hypotheticals?

Anyway, I skimmed the file for you this time, and basically you're either correct or wrong, depending on your definition of "error checking." The code handles error conditions by aborting the process. Seeing as it's a standalone CLI program and not a library meant for reuse, safely shutting down with a meaningful message sounds like fair game to me.
