🚀 Thanks for opening this pull request! We appreciate your effort in improving the project. Please let us know once your pull request is ready for review.

Tip

• Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
• Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
• Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
• We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
• Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
• Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code.

📝 Walkthrough

RestWrite now handles nullish dot-notation values and reconstructs reverted dot-notation paths in save responses. Regression tests cover trigger behavior, persistence, LiveQuery updates, and protected-field response filtering.

Changes: Dot-Notation Save Responses

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Null and undefined dot-notation values src/RestWrite.js, spec/CloudCode.spec.js	Nullish dot-notation values now use the operation-handling path with SDK validation ignored. Tests cover nested and hyphenated keys, triggers, and LiveQuery updates.
Reverted path response reconstruction src/RestWrite.js, spec/CloudCode.spec.js	The response merge uses response-specific data and restores reverted dot-notation paths using written keys and final-object values. Tests cover parent changes, operations, missing paths, arrays, ACLs, and LiveQuery updates.
Protected fields in save responses src/RestWrite.js, spec/ProtectedFields.spec.js	Response filtering removes protected fields and nested paths beneath them. Tests cover authentication levels and values written by triggers.

secretField.sub are absent from response.data; the current string check can pass
when a protected value remains under a different value.
