Description

Generally when you use ls -l, the first line of the list is the known size of all the files in the directory. This is just tiny enhancement for people who expect to know the total dir size. Its likely its just a forgotten feature.

Research direction
Examine the source code, particularly the display logic for ` l` output (likely in src/display.rs or similar). The total directory size should be computed by summing file sizes and printed as the first line. Refer to existing tests for ` l` format to ensure consistency.
