+- **Potentially breaking**: skip _attrs_ fields marked as `init=False` by default. This change is potentially breaking for unstructuring.

+- The `omit` parameter of `cattrs.override()` is now of type `bool | None` (from `bool`). `None` is the new default and means to apply default `cattrs` handling to the attribute.
