Bug: artifacts directory created in the directory where bags are placed

[zoidy]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the bug

It seems that starting in dart-runner 0.97, there is a change in behavior when bags are generated. Previously, with dart-runner 0.96, the generated bag in .tar format was generated by dart-runner, via ReBACH bagger, and placed in the output_dir directory set in the bagger config. Now, with 0.97 and above, there is an extra directory with the same name as the generated bag with the text "_artifacts" appended to it. The directory contains metadata only, and not actual bag contents.

It's unclear whether the presence of this directory will interfere with UAL's preservation tools

Additional information

• The behavior does not seem to be documented anywhere
• There does not appear to be a way to disable the behavior
• It appears the change was introduced in this commit
• It may be related to this closed issue

Steps To Reproduce

Run ReBACH using dart-runner 0.97 or above and observe the behavior
