fix(zod): preserve numeric literals in object defaults

[TETvega]

Summary

Fixes #3992

Numeric values in OpenAPI object-level defaults were previously emitted as widened number types, causing generated Zod defaults to fail TypeScript typechecking when property schemas expected numeric literal or enum types.

The default serializer now preserves numeric literals by appending as const at the individual value level instead of applying as const to the whole object or array. This also resolves the nested-array case where numeric array items previously bypassed scalar numeric literal serialization, while preserving existing array mutability (#3399 / #3400).

Examples

Scalar and Negative/Decimal Values

export const ExampleDefault = {
  "example_value": 2 as const,
  "rate": 2.1 as const,
  "offset": -2.1 as const,
};

Arrays and Nested Arrays

// OpenAPI: default: { codes: [2], matrix: [[2]] }
export const ExampleDefault = {
  "codes": [2 as const],
  "matrix": [[2 as const]],
};

Changes

• Preserve numeric literals with as const in scalar object defaults.
• Recursively apply as const to numeric literals inside arrays and nested arrays.
• Support negative and decimal numeric literals (e.g., -2.1 as const).
• Preserve array mutability by scoping as const strictly to individual numeric literals rather than root objects or arrays.
• Maintain existing serialization behavior for strings, booleans, objects, and null values.
• Add regression test coverage for numeric enums, negative/decimal numbers, and nested array structures.

Validation

• vp test run packages/zod/src/zod.test.ts
• vp exec tsc --noEmit -p packages/zod/tsconfig.json
• git diff --check

Documentation

No documentation updates required; this is an internal TypeScript emission fix with no public API or configuration changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Generated object defaults now preserve numeric literal types with as const, including nested objects, arrays, numeric enums, and multi-dimensional arrays.
  • Integer, decimal, and negative numeric values retain their literal types at every array depth.
  • Invalid numeric and length constraints are now rejected instead of being emitted.
  • OpenAPI 3.0 exclusiveMinimum and exclusiveMaximum values set to false now correctly generate inclusive minimum and maximum constraints.
  • Improves type accuracy and constraint handling in generated schemas.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Numeric values in generated Zod object defaults now use as const. Nested arrays recurse through the formatter. Numeric constraints require finite values. OpenAPI 3.0 exclusive flags set to false now produce inclusive constraints.

Changes

Zod numeric defaults and constraints

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Numeric default formatting packages/zod/src/index.ts	Numeric scalar and array values use as const. Nested arrays recurse through formatDefaultEntryValue.
Constraint normalization and validation packages/zod/src/index.ts	Boolean false exclusive constraints normalize to undefined. Numeric constraints are validated as finite numbers before emission.
Regression coverage packages/zod/src/zod.test.ts	Tests cover numeric defaults in objects, enums, nested arrays, multidimensional arrays, and inclusive handling of false exclusive flags.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ada99

Generated Zod defaults now retain numeric literal types, including nested arrays, while false OpenAPI exclusive-bound flags produce inclusive constraints. Targeted regression coverage accompanies these changes, with no remaining merge-readiness risk identified.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The numeric literal and recursive default-formatting changes are in scope. However, finite numeric constraint validation and normalization of exclusiveMinimum/exclusiveMaximum: false address separate constraint-generation behavior that is not required by issue #3992.

Resolution

Move the numeric constraint validation and exclusive-bound normalization changes to a separate pull request, or link and document an issue that requires those changes in this pull request. Keep this pull request focused on preserving numeric literal types in object defaults and the required recursive formatting support.

- Around line 1053-1054: Update the array-handling branch in the relevant
value-generation function so numeric elements use the same literal-preserving
“as const” narrowing as scalar numeric values, while retaining existing behavior
for non-numeric elements. Add a regression test covering a numeric array default
such as codes: [2] and verify the generated Zod default type-checks correctly.
