fix(sdk-py): remove model-type specific custom json encryption annotations & document key preservation limitations (#6595)

In langgraph-api, custom-encrypted JSONs need to continue to be
SQL-json-mergable after encryption. Previous WIP docs
advocated for custom encryption impls where all encrypted kv pairs were
shoved into a `__encrypted__: $encrypted_kvs` meta-key. Turns out that
pattern causes data loss when running PATCH-style partial updates or in
the many places langgraph-api json-SQL-merges across model types.

This PR contains 2 SDK fixes:
1. remove model-type specific custom json encryption annotations - these
cause surprising behavior as config and context data propagates across
model types, specifically because today we can't guarantee that data
encrypted as one model-type will be decrypted as the same model-type
because kv pairs move across model-types in pure SQL
2. document limitations and validation around "key preservation" in
custom json encryption functions. langgraph-api now validates that
custom JSON encryption fns don't change keys. That validation prevents
customizers from writing custom encryption functions that cause data
loss through patch endpoints and x-model merge propagation.

!!! warning "JSON Encryptors Must Preserve Keys"
JSON encryptors **must not add or remove keys** from the input dict.
Only values may be transformed. This constraint is **enforced at runtime
by the server** and exists because SQL JSONB merge operations (used for
partial updates) work at the key level.
**Correct (per-key encryption):**
```python
# Input: {"secret": "value", "plain": "x"}

```
**Incorrect (key consolidation):**
```python
# Input: {"secret": "value", "plain": "x"}
# Output: {"__encrypted__": "<blob>", "plain": "x"} ✗ Key changed

within the encrypted value itself, not as separate keys.

!!! warning "Model/Field May Differ Between Encrypt and Decrypt"
Data encrypted with one `(model, field)` pair is **not guaranteed**
to be decrypted with the same pair. The server performs SQL JSONB
merges that can move encrypted values between models (e.g., cron
metadata → run metadata). Your decryption logic must handle data
regardless of the `ctx.model` or `ctx.field` values at decrypt time.
**Safe:** Use `ctx.model`/`ctx.field` for logging or metrics only.
**Safe:** Encrypt different keys based on `ctx.field`, but use a
single decrypt handler that decrypts any value with the encrypted
prefix (and passes through plaintext unchanged):
```python
ENCRYPTED_PREFIX = "enc:"
@my_encryption.encrypt.json
async def encrypt_json(ctx: EncryptionContext, data: dict) -> dict:
# Encrypt different keys depending on the field
if ctx.field == "context":
keys_to_encrypt = {"api_key", "secret_token"}
else:
keys_to_encrypt = {"email", "ssn"}
return {
k: ENCRYPTED_PREFIX + encrypt(v) if k in keys_to_encrypt else v
for k, v in data.items()
}
@my_encryption.decrypt.json
async def decrypt_json(ctx: EncryptionContext, data: dict) -> dict:
# Decrypt ANY value with the prefix, regardless of model/field
return {
k: decrypt(v[len(ENCRYPTED_PREFIX):])
if isinstance(v, str) and v.startswith(ENCRYPTED_PREFIX)
else v
for k, v in data.items()
}
```
**Unsafe:** Using different encryption keys or algorithms based on
`ctx.model`/`ctx.field` will cause decryption failures.
