Add es_os_refresh env var to refresh index, ensure refresh passed via kwargs

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -10,11 +10,16 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.
 ### Added
 
 - Added configurable landing page ID `STAC_FASTAPI_LANDING_PAGE_ID` [#352](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch/pull/352)
+- Introduced the `DATABASE_REFRESH` environment variable to control whether database operations refresh the index immediately after changes. If set to `true`, changes will be immediately searchable. If set to `false`, changes may not be immediately visible but can improve performance for bulk operations. If set to `wait_for`, changes will wait for the next refresh cycle to become visible. [#370](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch/pull/370)
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Refactored CRUD methods in `TransactionsClient` to use the `validate_refresh` helper method for consistent and reusable handling of the `refresh` parameter. [#370](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch/pull/370)
+
 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed an issue where some routes were not passing the `refresh` parameter from `kwargs` to the database logic, ensuring consistent behavior across all CRUD operations. [#370](https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch/pull/370)
+
 ## [v4.1.0] - 2025-05-09
