241/// The `parentId` field has three distinct states that must be preserved:
242/// - **absent** (`None`) — do not filter by parent; return mailboxes at any level.
243/// - **`null`** (`Some(serde_json::Value::Null)`) — return only top-level mailboxes

245/// - **`"<id>"`** (`Some(serde_json::Value::String(...))`) — return only mailboxes
246///   whose `parentId` equals the given `Id`.
247///
248/// The combination of `#[serde(default, deserialize_with = ...)]` preserves
249/// this three-way distinction. Without the custom deserializer, serde's
250/// default `Option<T>` Deserialize impl would collapse a JSON `null` to
251/// `None`, making `null` and absent indistinguishable.
