Research direction

The issue does not name a file or test. Start by locating the configuration or startup entry point that selects the local filesystem as the default index root URI, then find the documentation describing datadir and meta-store limitations. Done means users receive a warning with a link when this local default is used, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
