How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?
Dataset output is the billable surface when rows are written. See live PPE for which events bill. dryRun true validates or samples without the usual dataset/webhook side effects described on the Store schema. datasetMode can limit emits to changes_only / changed_only / action_needed versus all. Unchanged runs that write zero default-dataset rows typically charge $0.00 on current PPE.
