Solution: [BUG]: type obtained with $inferInsert is empty

Low Risk

I'm having this issue and then some: - `$inferInsert` only provides fields that are `notNull()` or generated by default - `$inferSelect` does not respect nullability of fields and the type has every field as required Also on 0.32.0 orm & 0.23.0 kit
