   Hi maintainers,
   
   I've submitted a PR addressing this issue.
   
   **Root cause:** The dataset construction logic handles mixed `FileInfo` and 
path inputs based on the first element's type. This can pass a mixed list into 
the Cython factory, where an unchecked `FileInfo` cast causes a segmentation 
fault.
   
   **Fix implemented:**
   - Normalize path entries in mixed lists to `FileInfo` objects.
   - Preserve existing `FileInfo` metadata, source ordering, and duplicates.
   - Keep homogeneous input behavior unchanged.
   - Add defensive Cython type validation to prevent unsafe casts.
   - Add regression tests covering mixed inputs, tuples, duplicates, subtree 
filesystems, and invalid paths.
   
   **Verification:**
   - Independently reproduced the original segmentation fault using PyArrow 
26.0.0 on Kaggle/Linux.
   - Verified that all four input combinations work using the patched Python 
wrapper with PyArrow 26.0.0.
   - 25 focused local checks passed.
   - Flake8, Python syntax, autopep8, and `git diff --check` passed.
   
   The modified Cython extension has not yet been compiled locally, so full 
integration validation remains pending in CI.
   
   **PR:** #53034
   
   I'd appreciate a review of the implementation and would be happy to make any 
necessary adjustments.
   
   Thanks!
