Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue, so first inspect the existing dataset display flow and clarify the intended infra mode scope. Done should let users inspect dataset internals such as storage version, compression, and file size, with the expected details and interface agreed in advance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
