The per-node Storage field always showed 0 B because we pointed at
`${dataDir}/chunks.mdb` — LMDB's default subdir layout makes that a
directory, not a file. `std::fs::metadata(dir).len()` returns a trivial
value on Windows and macOS, which the old code then clamped to zero
after subtracting a 16 KB "empty LMDB" baseline.
Point at the actual payload file `chunks.mdb/data.mdb`, and route
through a new `get_disk_usage` Tauri command that reports on-disk bytes
allocated (not the logical file length). On Unix that's
`stat.st_blocks * 512` so a sparse LMDB map reports real
chunks-stored rather than the configured map size. On Windows the
command falls back to `metadata.len()` since NTFS doesn't mark LMDB
`data.mdb` as sparse in our current ant-node config.
Belt-and-suspenders until the upstream daemon exposes storage usage
(see project_todo_daemon_storage_api.md).

The "Storage Directory" setting was persisted to config.toml but never
sent to the daemon on add_nodes, so every new node landed in the
default data directory regardless of the user's choice. ant-core's
add_nodes endpoint already supports data_dir_path and auto-appends
node-{id} per node, so we just need to pass it through.
Also clarifies in Settings that the directory only affects newly
added nodes — existing nodes keep their original data_dir in
node_registry.json and are not migrated.

Closes #33
Summary
Two related node-management fixes that shipped broken:
storage_dirsetting was ignored. Every new node landed in the daemon's default data dir becausestores/nodes.ts::addNodesnever passeddata_dir_pathon the request, even though the setting was persisted toconfig.tomland ant-core's add endpoint already accepts it. Also makes it explicit in the Settings UI that the directory only applies to newly added nodes (existing nodes aren't migrated). As a small follow-on,addNodesnow firesenrichNodeDetailsright after the add so the node tile shows itsdata_dirwithout needing a refresh.Per-node Storage field always read 0 B. We were pointing
get_file_sizeatchunks.mdb, which under LMDB's default layout is a directory, not a file —metadata.len()on a directory returns a trivial value that the old baseline subtraction clamped to zero. We now readchunks.mdb/data.mdbvia a newget_disk_usageTauri command that reports the filesystem-allocated bytes (sparse-aware on Unix,metadata.len()on Windows).Supersedes #31 — this branch contains the same storage-display fix plus the storage-dir fix on top. Please merge this and close #31 as duplicate.
