Field value - the actual data stored in a field.

A field is in one of two states:

• Has a value: any non-null value
• No value: null, undefined, or omitted entirely

The system treats null and undefined (or missing) as equivalent. Adapters normalize "no value" internally (e.g., storing as SQL NULL).

For filter semantics:

• { field: value } matches docs where field has that non-null value
• { field: null } matches docs where field has no value (null or missing)
• { field: { $exists: true } } matches docs where field has a value
• { field: { $exists: false } } matches docs where field has no value
