Subject: [PATCH] fix: convert _strip_null_bytes to non-recursive iterative
 implementation

CI code-quality check flags recursive functions. Split into two
non-recursive helpers: _strip_null_bytes delegates to
_strip_null_bytes_from_value for each value, handling two levels
of nesting (sufficient for spend log payloads).
