Adds support for generators that produce a different number of records than the input (expansion or retraction). This addresses GitHub issue #265. Changes: - Add `allow_resize` parameter to `update_records()` in DatasetBatchManager - Add `allow_resize` field to CustomColumnConfig - Add validation requiring FULL_COLUMN strategy when allow_resize=True - Track and report actual_num_records in metadata (may differ from target) - Add logging when batch size changes - Add example_allow_resize.py demonstrating the feature - Add comprehensive tests

I'm wondering if we should elevate this to a property on the base column config (default is False), which you can override in custom columns and plugins.

Yeah that was the initial solution, then I ended up doing a mixin instead.
Thought it was a bit opaque for plugins specifically, that they developer to find out about a specific attribute/property 🤔 But it makes things simpler I suppose?

It's a pattern we already use for custom emojis. Also the required_columns and side_effect_columns (these ones have to be set, though).

Summary
Adds
allow_resizeparameter toCustomColumnConfigenabling custom column generators to produce a different number of records than the input. This supports 1:N expansion (e.g., generating multiple variations per input) and N:1 retraction (e.g., filtering or aggregating records) patterns. Addresses #265.Changes
