There was a problem hiding this comment.
The MarshalJSON override affects all JSON serialization of JSONBStringMap, not only DB persistence. Any API response structs embedding this type that previously returned null for absent metadata will now return {}. Clients distinguishing null (field absent/not set) from {} (explicitly empty) will see a behavioral change. Worth verifying no external API consumers rely on the null sentinel before merging.

Medium Risk
Touches database trigger behavior and jsonb encoding for a shared type, which can affect how metadata is stored/queried across snapshot paths, but the change is narrowly scoped to normalizing
null/nil to{}.Overview
Prevents snapshot
