Search index without an asynchronous feederror

derived-store-without-cdc-or-rebuild

A search index is derived data and needs an asynchronous feed from a stream, change data capture or an indexing worker. Without one it is written inline on the request path, and it can never be rebuilt after it drifts.

— this does not hold:
— the node has at least one asynchronous incoming edge from a stream, change-data-capture or worker
