Attribute::tryFromValue() already accepts null and converts it to the string "null", but the public metric attribute type declarations (array<string, int|float|string|bool>) excluded null. This meant static analysis rejected null attribute values even though they work correctly at runtime, forcing callers (and wrapper implementations) to suppress type errors.
