Full Changelog: v3.8.0...v3.9.0

Deterministic record lookups, a configurable search minimum, and an option-count threshold for option-backed selects. All three are reachable from a new selects config block, so 3.7 behaviour can be restored exactly.

Deterministic record lookups

RecordSelectInputComponent ran limit(50) with no orderBy, so the initial page was whatever the database returned and could differ between two renders of the same form. It now orders by the model key descending, which is deterministic and backed by the primary key index.

Measured on a seeded 50,000-row tenant with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS):

Determinism therefore costs nothing. Set record_lookup.order_column to 'updated_at' if you prefer most-recently-touched-first, and index that column when the lookup table is large. A configured column always gets the model key appended as a tiebreaker.

Minimum search length, configurable end to end

getSearchResultsForJs() returned [] below 2 characters. It now returns the unfiltered first page, and the minimum comes from record_lookup.min_search_length rather than a literal. The field's JavaScript reads the same value, so raising the minimum can no longer leave the client asking for a filtered search that the server answers with an unfiltered page.

Search box only above an option-count threshold (behaviour change)

SelectComponent and MultiSelectComponent called ->searchable() unconditionally, so a three-option status field rendered a search box above three items. They now gate on option count, default 10.

This is a taste change, not a bug fix. It carries no performance benefit: filtering for static options already happened client-side at zero server cost. The only effect is that the search box disappears on small option sets.

Opt-out: set custom-fields.selects.searchable_threshold to 0 to always render the search box, which is exactly the pre-3.8 behaviour.

Config

'selects' => [
    'searchable_threshold' => 10,   // 0 always shows the search box (pre-3.8 behaviour)

    'record_lookup' => [
        'order_column' => null,     // null means the model key, index-backed
        'order_direction' => 'desc',
        'limit' => 50,
        'min_search_length' => 2,
    ],
],

Consumers who published config/custom-fields.php before 3.8 do not have this block. Every read passes the same value as its default, so nothing breaks and the new defaults apply.
