Currently, Optional fields in API responses serialize as complex objects exposing internal structure (Value, Present, Null fields). This ticket implements proper JSON marshaling so Optional fields serialize correctly:
- Explicit null values -> JSON null
- Present values -> actual values
- Absent fields -> zero values (or omitted with Go 1.24+ omitzero tag)
