Issue Description: Parse Live Query Fails Due to Missing Pointer Key

Summary:
Parse Live Query encounters a failure during decoding because the expected pointer key is missing. This prevents the Live Query feature from functioning as intended.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure Parse Server with Live Query enabled.
  2. Set up a class that includes a pointer field.
  3. Subscribe to Live Query for the specified class.
  4. Perform a create/update/delete operation on the class that involves the pointer field.

Expected Behavior:
Live Query should handle and decode the operation successfully, including resolving the pointer field.

Actual Behavior:
The Live Query decoding process fails due to the absence of the pointer key, causing the subscription to break or miss updates.

Environment:

  • Parse Server version: [e.g., 6.x.x]
  • Client SDK version: [e.g., JavaScript/iOS/Android SDK version]
  • Database: [e.g., MongoDB/Postgres]
  • Node.js version: [e.g., 16.x.x]

Logs and Error Messages:
Provide any relevant logs or error messages from the Parse Server or client console. For example:

Error: Live Query decoding failed: Missing key for pointer field "Pointer".

Possible Cause:
The server or client-side implementation may not properly serialize or include the pointer key during Live Query updates.

Proposed Solution:
Ensure that the pointer key is included in the Live Query payload during serialization or decoding. This could involve:

  1. Updating the Parse Server to always include the pointer key for relevant fields.
  2. Fixing client SDK handling to process partial data without breaking.

Additional Context:
Include any other relevant details, such as custom configurations or similar issues reported by other users.


This description provides a clear explanation of the issue, making it easy for maintainers or contributors to understand and address the problem.
