    """Base for update (PATCH/PUT) schemas that are applied to one ORM row.

    Their fields are mostly ``X | None = None`` so a request can leave them out,
    and the API's contract is that null means "unchanged": most routes apply a
    field only when it is not None, and the OpenAPI schema allows null. Routes
    that apply what was sent with ``model_dump(exclude_unset=True)`` instead
    wrote the null into a NOT NULL column and failed with a 500. This drops such
    a null before validation, so the field counts as not sent on every route; a
    null for a column that may be empty still clears it.

    ``__orm_table__`` names the table the schema writes to. It is looked up when
    a request is validated, so schemas don't import the models.
