I made a demo project to reveal the issue:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the demo project at https://github.com/wonderbeyond/proto-demo and reproduce the SerializeToString behavior for explicit zero values versus unset optional values. Trace the generated serialization path in python-betterproto and define done as preserving a distinguishable result for those two cases.
