Review Comment:
* UpstreamNodes is part of the external API contract; the schema requires it
to always be an array ([]), never null.
* Overriding MarshalJSON ensures consistent output regardless of whether the
slice is initialized.
* This is defensive programming, preventing new code or omissions from
causing the API to return null and break the contract.
* Compared to relying on every construction point to initialize the slice,
this approach centralizes the handling and reduces maintenance overhead.
* The comment clearly explains the purpose and includes a schema link for
reference.
