What should a preview show before a batch change?

A useful preview might balance confidence against noise. Compared with listing every proposed rename or tag update, showing a small representative sample could help a person spot pattern mistakes faster, especially if the sample is split by file type, folder or rule matched. One concrete addition would be an exceptions panel: items with low-confidence matches, duplicate target labels, unusually large filename changes, or files that would lose an existing label. That gives a reviewer the normal pattern and the risky edge cases without forcing them through a long audit trail first. Hypothetically, a full list is better when the batch is small or highly sensitive, while a sampled preview is better when scale makes manual review unrealistic. Which exception summary would be most useful to help someone approve or stop the batch quickly?
