Description
the beam_job_api gRPC definition indicates that pipeline_options is a required field. However, the python ULR currently does not set an options struct. This is trivially solved on the job server side by instantiating a default. However, there may be cases where the job server assumes it exists and falls over on an NPE during translation.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the beam_job_api gRPC definition and the Python ULR code that constructs PrepareJobRequest. Trace how pipeline_options is populated, then verify that the request always carries an options struct and that translation no longer receives a null value.
