Pull request overview
This PR aims to simplify the Linodego public API models by replacing slice-of-pointers fields ([]*T) with slice-of-values ([]T) across several structs and updating tests/fixtures accordingly.
Changes:
- Updated multiple SDK structs to use
[]Tinstead of[]*T(e.g.,Instance.IPv4, instance backup snapshot collections, instance IP collections, NodeBalancer create config list). - Updated unit/integration tests to account for value slices (dereferencing returned pointers before appending/assigning).
- Refreshed a number of integration VCR fixtures.
