Add apply_merge_patch(), create_merge_patch(), and compact() to the serializer. compact() strips fields matching constructor defaults from serialized resource trees, producing smaller JSON without losing information. Resource.save() now emits compact format. All deserialize() methods tolerate missing optional fields so both old full-format and new compact-format JSON load correctly.
