this information is available in the encoding, i.e. xr_initial.dummy_variable.encoding.

It's not in the attrs because xarray used it to replace elements with the exactly same value as _FillValue with np.nan, making it redundant and quickly become outdated on operations. If you were to pass mask_and_scale=False to open_dataset you should see it in the attrs.

A different question would be whether or not to display the encoding in the HTML repr.
