Shadow Validation

trigger

"Zod schemas for every simple route. Hand-rolled validation for the critical route."

what it is

A good validation abstraction applied to the easy cases and skipped for the hard one. The most complex, highest-risk route retains hand-rolled validation that bypasses the new system's guarantees.

what it signals

instead

Start the migration with the most complex route, not the simplest.
