## Title

    [AG-UI client] Optional fields sent as null: "Cannot send X with 'subagentRunId: null'. The field is optional — omit it entirely."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Verifier distinguishes absent from null for optional fields like subagentRunId and interrupt ids.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
