createIndex primaryKey option has no effect (JS SDK 0.55.0, Meilisearch 1.35.0)

Hi there,

We’ve encountered an issue when creating a new index in Meilisearch Cloud using the JavaScript SDK.
When setting the primaryKey option in createIndex, it appears to have no effect:

await client.createIndex(indexName, {
  primaryKey: "id"
})

Environment:

JS SDK version: 0.55.0
Meilisearch version: 1.35.0 (Cloud)

The index is created successfully, but the primaryKey is not set. As a workaround, we currently push a dummy document to the empty index, using the primary key request parameter.

We just recently switched to the cloud offering. Previously this worked as expected with an older self-hosted version (1.22.x).

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue or a change in behavior in newer versions?
