Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the model definitions and inventorying which fields the request covers; completion requires an agreed default-value policy for “most” fields and tests showing that models can be instantiated directly.

Description

enhancement

Enhancement description

Add default fields to most model fields.

The problem it solves

Almost no model fields have default values (e.g, nullable fields defaulting to None), making it cumbersome to instantiate them directly. Models won't always be instantiated from dictionaries.
