## Bounded streaming

`datasets==5.0.0` does not execute loading scripts from the Hub. Clone code and
metadata without downloading Git LFS objects, then import the loader directly:

```shell
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/ProgramComputer/VGGFace2-HQ
```

Pin both data revisions when constructing the stream:

```python
from VGGFace2_HQ import load_streaming

dataset = load_streaming(
    "train",
    revision="ee41c3e64981063524744286b468e739190cfbed",
    raw_revision="ad5f6b5a5f560621fd7efb9b79c956d27d427a08",
    cache_dir="/bounded/cache",
    scratch_dir="/bounded/scratch",
)
first_record = next(iter(dataset))
```

ZIP shards use bounded HTTP-range reads. A full-shard scratch fallback is
disabled unless `allow_full_shard_fallback=True` is passed with explicit byte
limits.
