Description
We should use a GET range request with "bytes=0-0"
Alternatively, get it from the first chunk fetch. But note that csv-range does not pass the file byte length to the yielded rows, so we would have to add this metadata.

Research direction
Locate the code that requests file metadata and the first chunk fetch, then inspect how csv-range yields rows without file byte length. Implement a path that obtains the length without relying on HEAD, and confirm that yielded rows expose the required metadata when using a range request.
