Fund: Bug: Pydantic V1 DTO Validation for fields with the max_length validator.

Description

In the below example that uses the litestar DTO system with msgspec and pydantic v1, the API validator fails with the following error: litestar.exceptions.http_exceptions.ClientException: 400: Unsupported type: <class 'str'> - at $.display_name.

This is a potential regression after fixing this: #3710 as this case works fine in Litestar 2.11.

Python version: 3.11.9
Pydantic version: 1.10.18

### Steps to reproduce

```bash
1. Run the application with the above MCVE. The dto class is under the Python package "dto", and the controller class is under the Python package "controllers". app.py located is in the root level of the project.
2. Run the following cURL(change the host/port if yours are configured differently):

curl --location 'localhost:8080/api/v1/accounts/123/graphs/create' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "display_name": "Test Graph",
    "edges": [
        {
            "source": "source_test_id",
            "sourceHandle": "handle_test",
            "target": "target_test_id",
            "targetHandle": "handle_test"
        }
    ],
    "public": true,
    "nodes": [
        {
            "id": "source_test_id",

                "y": 18.31231231
            },
            "data": {
                "name": {

            }
        },
        {
            "id": "target_test_id",
            "base_type": "test",
            "type": "test",
            "position": {
                "x": 15.5,
                "y": 32.31231231
            },
            "data": {
                "name": {

Why does "Fund on completion" require GitHub login?

When is the invoice due for "Fund on completion"?

What happens if the issue is never completed?

Do I get any extra benefits by funding?

Do I get progress updates?

Is rewards guaranteed?
