Emits the control fragment {"fields": [<selected fields>]}: returned documents contain only the block's selected fields, nothing else. "exclude_meta": true is added ONLY when the include_meta pin is exactly boolean false : an unwired pin or the string "false" keeps metadata included. The fragment is hoisted to the top level of the query when collected by a bool block.

A typical wiring for fields to select: false feeds the include_meta pin; the query out pin feeds search.
