Document the task and batch streaming routes - #3663
Conversation
v1.52 added `GET /tasks/stream` and `GET /batches/stream` behind the `tasksStreamingRoute` flag. They were rendered in the API reference from the spec but had no prose, and the flag was missing from the experimental features table.

Include the canceled status.
This section says /tasks/stream emits every status change, but the examples end with succeeded or failed. The same page defines canceled as a finished task state. Include canceled, or state that the list is not exhaustive.

Make the curl examples runnable.
The commands use MEILISEARCH_URL and MEILISEARCH_KEY as literal text. If copied unchanged, curl does not use a valid URL or key. Define shell variables and reference them as $MEILISEARCH_URL and $MEILISEARCH_KEY, or clearly instruct readers to replace both placeholders.
As per coding guidelines, code samples must be runnable and useful.

| Each event carries the same task object the other task routes return, so existing status handling works unchanged. Neither route replays history: you receive changes that happen while you are connected, so treat a stream as a live feed rather than a substitute for [`GET /tasks`](/reference/api/async-task-management/list-tasks) when you need to inspect the past. If your client reconnects, query the task or batch you care about once to resynchronise before relying on the stream again. |

Use the correct payload type for each route.
This sentence follows both route descriptions but says every event carries a task object. /tasks/stream returns task objects, while /batches/stream returns batch objects, represented as TaskView and BatchView in assets/open-api/meilisearch-openapi.json. Rewrite the sentence so batch clients do not apply the task schema to batch updates.
Proposed wording
-Each event carries the same task object the other task routes return, so existing status handling works unchanged.
+Task-stream events carry task objects, and batch-stream events carry batch objects. Use the response schema for the route you consume.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

@Kerollmops you added the SSE routes in meilisearch#6533, so tagging you for review. Three things to check:
Separately, for your awareness rather than this PR: the revert in v1.52.2 is not an ancestor of the v1.53 line, so these routes are live in v1.52.0/.1 and v1.53+ but absent from the latest v1.52 patches. Quentin confirmed those patches were test releases, so I have documented the routes as current. |

Description
v1.52 added
GET /tasks/streamandGET /batches/streambehind thetasksStreamingRouteexperimental flag. Both were rendered in the API reference from the OpenAPI spec, but there was no prose explaining they exist, andtasksStreamingRoutewas missing from the experimental features table, which otherwise lists every current flag.Added a "Streaming task updates instead of polling" section to the task monitoring guide, since that page's whole premise is polling
GET /tasks/{task_uid}and telling readers to "wait a few moments and query the database once again". It covers enabling the flag, holding the connection open, the difference between the two routes (batches also emit on progress, which suits long indexing runs), and that streams are live only, so a reconnecting client should resynchronise with a normal query.Also added the corresponding experimental features table row.
Behavior is taken from the route descriptions in the spec. Note the spec is internally inconsistent about the response media type: the route descriptions say SSE while the 200 response declares
application/x-ndjson. I deliberately described the behavior without asserting aContent-Type, but that looks worth fixing on the engine side.Checklist
