refactor(core): do not serialize parent block id for top level blocks (#59190)

AndrewKushnir · kirjs · commit e33e673ff9f0 · 2025-01-14T11:06:59.000-05:00
This commit updates incremental hydration-related annotation logic to avoid serializing parent block id when it's `null` (for top-level blocks). PR Close #59190
