Returns the registry as a data frame, optionally filtered. This is the discovery surface: themes, providers, kinds, licenses, and liveness status are all columns you can inspect.
dsn_list(pattern = NULL, theme = NULL, provider = NULL, kind = NULL)
dsn_info(name)optional pattern matched against 'name' (grep, case insensitive)
optional theme filter, e.g. "elevation", "bathymetry", "imagery", "basemap", "admin"
optional provider filter, e.g. "gebco", "usgs", "nasa_gibs", "thelist"
optional kind filter, e.g. "cog", "wmts", "parquet"
