Payload for updating an existing category.

All fields are optional. Only fields that are explicitly provided will be modified — other fields keep their current value.

Note: parent_id can be set to null explicitly to move a category to the top level. Pydantic distinguishes "not in payload" from "explicitly null" via model_fields_set.
