Fixes #765

What does this PR do?

The test suite was still sending the v1.53 selector/action list, which current Meilisearch rejects.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Dynamic search rule actions now use grouped pin and scale models. Rule properties, examples, and tests use the updated shape. Embedder settings tests use longer task timeouts for update and reset operations.

Changes

Dynamic search rule actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grouped action model and rule properties
src/Meilisearch/DynamicSearchRule.Action.cs, src/Meilisearch/DynamicSearchRule.cs, src/Meilisearch/PatchDynamicSearchRule.cs, src/Meilisearch/Converters/BaseObjectWithTypesConverter.cs
The rule action properties now use DSRActions, which groups pin and scale entries. The previous action types and polymorphic converter are removed.
Action examples and tests
tests/Meilisearch.Tests/Datasets/*dynamic_search_rule*.json, tests/Meilisearch.Tests/DynamicSearchRuleTests.cs, .code-samples.meilisearch.yaml
The examples and fixtures use the grouped pin shape. Tests cover empty actions and scale actions with filters or IDs. The code sample now pins document 299537 for invoice searches. The task assertion permits UID 0 and checks that EnqueuedAt is not default.

Embedder settings test timeouts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configurable task timeouts
tests/Meilisearch.Tests/SettingsTests.cs
Task-success, update, and reset helpers accept an optional timeout. The embedder update and reset tests use a 120,000 ms timeout; the default remains 5,000 ms.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3c96c

A caller that forgets a scale weight can unintentionally hide matching documents. This bounded issue merits correction or explicit acceptance, but does not otherwise prevent merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3c96c

The new payload uses the existing request and credential path; no authorization bypass was identified. The principal design risks are SDK/server compatibility and uncertain clearing or replacement behavior when updating grouped actions.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller controlling rule payloads can now express filter-based scaling across potentially multiple indices when no index UID is supplied. Requests still target the configured server through the existing client credential context; effective permissions and index isolation depend on server enforcement, which was not inspected.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Caller-provided action values are serialized as JSON and sent through the existing rule PATCH method. API keys, when supplied, use the existing Bearer header. The PR does not change these transport or credential blocks, and the removed converter performed discriminator mapping rather than authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Optional serialization distinguishes omitted Actions from explicitly supplied null or grouped values. The existing-rule update test asserts preservation when Actions is omitted. The inspected tests do not establish clearing or merge semantics for null, empty, or partial-group updates, nor post-failure state, concurrency ordering, or recovery guarantees.

Meilisearch v1.54 dynamic search rules scale action weight required default weight omitted "scale"

💡 Result:

In **Meilisearch v1.54.0**, `scale` is an array of scale actions, and **each action requires a `weight`**—a nonnegative number. The release notes do not specify a default weight, so don’t omit it; provide one explicitly. ([newreleases.io](https://newreleases.io/project/github/meilisearch/meilisearch/release/v1.54.0?utm_source=openai))

```json
{
  "actions": {
    "scale": [
      { "filter": "availability = discontinued", "weight": 0 }
    ]
  }
}
```

A weight above `1` boosts, below `1` demotes, and `0` hides matching documents unless they are pinned. ([newreleases.io](https://newreleases.io/project/github/meilisearch/meilisearch/release/v1.54.0?utm_source=openai))

🌐 Web query:

Meilisearch v1.54 API dynamic search rules scale action weight required default value weight omitted official docs source

💡 Result:

**`weight` is required for each `scale` action; the official v1.54 source does not specify a default when it’s omitted.** The v1.54 announcement describes `weight` as the scale factor and explains its effects: above `1.0` boosts, below `1.0` demotes, and `0.0` hides selected documents. It does not say that `weight` may be omitted or define an omitted-value default. ([meilisearch.com](https://www.meilisearch.com/blog/september-2026-updates?utm_source=openai))

So don’t rely on an implicit default—include `weight` explicitly in every `scale` action. The official API reference wasn’t accessible in the retrieved sources, so I can’t confirm the exact validation error for omission. The announcement does establish that the feature is available via the API in v1.54. ([meilisearch.com](https://www.meilisearch.com/blog/september-2026-updates?utm_source=openai))

Make Weight nullable, or document it as required.

Meilisearch v1.54 requires weight for each scale action. If a caller omits it, DSRScale.Weight defaults to 0 and the client serializes that value. The server then treats it as an intentional zero weight, which hides the selected documents, rather than rejecting a missing field.

Suggested fix
-        public double Weight { get; set; }
+        public double? Weight { get; set; }
