* Fix visible validation depending on consumer zod version; strengthen children prompt rule
catalog.validate() behavior changed under consumers' zod resolution: z.any()
object keys are optional on zod 4.3 but nonoptional on zod 4.4+, so a spec
omitting an element's visible field validates on 4.3 and fails on 4.4. The
core test suite (zod 4.3.6) asserts the optional behavior, so optional is the
intent; pin it explicitly with .optional() so all zod 4.x agree.
children stays required (long-standing, zod-version-independent contract;
relaxing it would change InferSpec types for consumers). Instead the default
prompt rules now state explicitly that every element must include a children
array, with [] for leaves, which benchmarking shows models otherwise omit on
roughly a third of first attempts.
- core: InferSpecObject honors SchemaType.optional at the type level (additive;
no schema used optional before)
- all framework schemas: visible marked ...s.optional()
- framework prompt defaultRules: REQUIRED FIELDS rule for children
- core: regression tests locking visible-optional and children-required
* Fix Next schema optional fields
Bump all @json-render/* packages to 0.19.0, add changelog entry for
custom directives API and @json-render/directives package, and update
the web app changelog page.
