Research direction
The issue provides no file or test entry point. Locate the StructArray indexing implementation and existing LazyRow behavior first, then determine whether indexing should return LazyRow by default instead of materializing a struct. Done means the intended default behavior is implemented and covered by tests, with any compatibility implications resolved.
