Job description

Target issue https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/14275 Task Fix exclude defaults serialization so values that compare equal to their defaults but differ semantically are not omitted. Cover the reported int/bool, int/float, and signed zero cases while preserving existing behavior for genuinely default values and union serialization. Deliverables One focused upstream patch with regression tests for the reported cases. Exact focused test command/output and relevant broader checks. Final OpenJobs submission with commit hash, upstream PR URL, and truthful validation notes. Pull request requirement The PR must reference https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/14275 and mention openjobs.bot plus this exact listing ID or URL.
