What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix. Closes #1945.

What is the current behavior?

query() defaults topK to None, and None values are left out of the request body, so a call without topK sends a QueryVectors request the API rejects.

What is the new behavior?

topK has no default, so a call without it raises TypeError before any request is sent. It keeps its position, so calls that pass topK positionally or by keyword are unaffected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Vector queries now require a topK value in both synchronous and asynchronous APIs. Omitting it raises a TypeError without sending a request.

Explanation

Issue #1945 requires storage3 vector index query() to require topK and reject omission before a request is sent. The sync and async query() signatures changed from topK: int | None = None to topK: int. The added parametrized test checks TypeError for both clients and verifies that no request is sent.

Minor follow-up Add a test for explicit topK=None and reject it in query.

339-339: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add a test for explicit topK=None and reject it in query.

The new test covers only an omitted topK. query forwards topK=None to with_metadata, and remove_none drops it. The request then omits the required field, and the test still passes. Add a case that passes topK=None in both client modes, then add a None check in both query methods.

Review comment at @src/storage/tests/test_vectors.py at line 339:
Update both query methods to explicitly reject a supplied topK=None before
with_metadata or remove_none can omit it, using the existing validation
behavior. Extend the test around the VectorData query call to cover explicit
topK=None in both client modes, while preserving the existing behavior when topK
is omitted.
