Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the DataColumnSidecars archiving path in the Lodestar TypeScript code and measure block-archiving time and garbage-collection behavior on Linux; done means the reported up-to-1.5-minute spikes are reduced and the result is validated against v1.38.0.
