Summary of the change:
Made new_fingerprint optional (Optional[str] = None) in Dataset.add_column and Dataset.add_item
Added a simple test to verify both methods work without providing a fingerprint
Why this change is safe:
The Dataset constructor already handles fingerprint=None by generating a new fingerprint automatically
No internal logic is broken — if a user provides a fingerprint, it’s still used as before
The change only affects the function signature, making it more user-friendly without changing any functionality
