Research direction
Start by locating the Python APIs for write_dataset, Dataset.commit, delete, merge insert, and other dataset-modifying operations, then trace their Rust-backed implementations. Identify which methods lack a commit-message argument and verify that the message is carried through consistently; done means all relevant modifying methods support it.
