Release 0.5.2

0.5.2 Release Notes

Zod v4

dyna-record now uses Zod v4 for runtime schema validation, upgraded from Zod v3. All validation behavior, public APIs, and TypeScript types remain unchanged — this is a dependency-only upgrade with no changes to how you define entities, decorators, or schemas.

What changed

The only consumer-facing change is the shape of Zod issue objects inside ValidationError.cause. If your code catches ValidationError and inspects the cause array directly, note the following Zod v4 differences:

	Zod v3	Zod v4
Missing field message	"Required"	"Invalid input: expected string, received undefined"
Wrong type message	"Expected string, received number"	"Invalid input: expected string, received number"
Issue received field	Present	Removed
Invalid enum code	"invalid_enum_value"	"invalid_value"
Enum options field	options: [...]	values: [...]

If you only check for instanceof ValidationError and read .message, no changes are needed.
