✨ Enhancement

[Experimental] Render πŸ«Žβ€‹ template route

by @Mubelotix in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5765

Introduces a new POST /render-template route that can be used to render any template or fragment on any input and associated renderRoute experimental feature that gates access to the route.

This route can be used to test document templates and fragments before and after having configured an embedder.

A body payload for the route is of the form:

{
  "template": /* templateTarget object */,
  "input": /* inputTarget object or null */
}

where template describes the template or fragment to render, and input describes what to use to render the template.

Upon calling this route, Meilisearch responds with:

{
  "template": "{{doc.text}}",
  "rendered": "template text after rendering using the input"
}

where template contains the unrendered base text of the document template, or the unrendered base JSON object of a fragment, and rendered contains the result of rendering the template of the chosen input.

If input is null in the request, then rendered is null in the response, and the route can be used solely to retrieve a template or fragment from the settings of an index.

Before calling the route

The API of this route is subject to change, so before calling this route, please enable the renderRoute experimental feature:

PATCH /experimental-features --json '{"renderRoute": true}'

[Experimental] Only support foreign filters on retrieval routes

by @ManyTheFish in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6446

Foreign filters are meant to be used in a retrieval context (search, get document...), but all the actions related to writing or modifying a document could have several unexpected behaviors if foreign filters are accepted.
We prefer forbidding the usage of this feature on the writing routes.

The following routes do not support Foreign-filter anymore:

Additional change: we now ensure that the experimental features are checked when parsing a filter
