-# Utility Functions — @atscript/typescript
-
-> All publicly exported utility functions: serialization, flattening, JSON Schema, data creation, and type traversal.
-
-## Exports Overview
-
-All utilities are exported from `@atscript/typescript/utils`:
-
-```ts
-import {
-  // Type construction
-  defineAnnotatedType,
-  annotate,
-  // Type checking
-  isAnnotatedType,
-  isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive,
-  isPhantomType,

-  flattenAnnotatedType,
-  // Data creation
-  createDataFromAnnotatedType,
-  // Feature gating (used by generated code)
-  throwFeatureDisabled,
-} from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-```
-
-### `throwFeatureDisabled(feature, option, annotation)`
-
-Throws a runtime error indicating a feature is disabled. Used by generated `.js` files to avoid duplicating the error message string across all classes. Called as `$d("JSON Schema", "jsonSchema", "emit.jsonSchema")` in generated code when `jsonSchema: false`.
-
-## `forAnnotatedType(def, handlers)` — Type-Safe Dispatch
-
-Dispatches over `TAtscriptAnnotatedType` by its `type.kind`, providing type-narrowed handlers:
-
-```ts
-import { forAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-const description = forAnnotatedType(someType, {
-  final(d) {
-    return `${d.type.designType}`
-  },
-  object(d) {
-    return `object(${d.type.props.size} props)`
-  },
-  array(d) {
-    return `array`
-  },
-  union(d) {
-    return `union(${d.type.items.length})`
-  },
-  intersection(d) {
-    return `intersection(${d.type.items.length})`
-  },
-  tuple(d) {
-    return `[${d.type.items.length}]`
-  },
-  phantom(d) {
-    return `phantom`
-  }, // optional — without it, phantoms go to final
-})
-```
-
-All handlers except `phantom` are required. Each handler receives the type with its `type` field narrowed to the specific kind.
-
-## `buildJsonSchema(type)` — Annotated Type → JSON Schema
-
-Converts an annotated type into a standard JSON Schema object, translating validation metadata. Named object types (those with an `id`) are automatically extracted into `$defs` and referenced via `$ref`:
-
-```ts
-import { buildJsonSchema } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-import { User } from './models/user.as'
-
-const schema = buildJsonSchema(User)
-// {
-//   type: 'object',
-//   properties: {
-//     name: { type: 'string', minLength: 2, maxLength: 100 },
-//     age: { type: 'integer', minimum: 0, maximum: 150 },
-//     email: { type: 'string', pattern: '...' },
-//   },
-//   required: ['name', 'age']
-// }
-```
-
-### `$defs` and `$ref`
-
-Types compiled from `.as` files carry a stable `id` (the type name). When `buildJsonSchema` encounters named object types nested inside other types (unions, properties), it extracts them into `$defs` and references via `$ref`:
-
-```ts
-import { CatOrDog } from './pets.as'
-const schema = buildJsonSchema(CatOrDog)
-// {
-//   $defs: { Cat: { type: 'object', ... }, Dog: { type: 'object', ... } },
-//   oneOf: [{ $ref: '#/$defs/Cat' }, { $ref: '#/$defs/Dog' }],
-//   discriminator: { propertyName: 'petType', mapping: { cat: '#/$defs/Cat', dog: '#/$defs/Dog' } }
-// }
-```
-
-Key behaviors:
-
-- Only **named object types** (with `id`) are extracted to `$defs`. Primitives, unions, arrays stay inline.
-- The **root type** is never extracted — it IS the schema.
-- Same `id` referenced multiple times → one `$defs` entry, all occurrences become `$ref`.
-- Types without `id` (inline/anonymous) produce inline schemas.
-- For programmatic types, use `.id('Name')` on the builder to enable `$defs` extraction.

-### Metadata → JSON Schema Mapping
-
-| Annotation                    | JSON Schema                                                     |
-| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `@expect.minLength` on string | `minLength`                                                     |
-| `@expect.maxLength` on string | `maxLength`                                                     |
-| `@expect.minLength` on array  | `minItems`                                                      |
-| `@expect.maxLength` on array  | `maxItems`                                                      |
-| `@expect.min`                 | `minimum`                                                       |
-| `@expect.max`                 | `maximum`                                                       |
-| `@expect.int`                 | `type: 'integer'` (instead of `'number'`)                       |
-| `@expect.pattern` (single)    | `pattern`                                                       |
-| `@expect.pattern` (multiple)  | `allOf: [{ pattern }, ...]`                                     |
-| `@meta.required` on string    | `minLength: 1`                                                  |
-| optional property             | not in `required` array                                         |
-| union                         | `anyOf` (or `oneOf` + `discriminator` for discriminated unions) |
-| intersection                  | `allOf`                                                         |
-| tuple                         | `items` as array                                                |
-| phantom                       | empty object `{}` (excluded)                                    |
-
-### Discriminated Unions
-
-When all union items are objects sharing exactly one property with distinct const/literal values, `buildJsonSchema` auto-detects it and emits `oneOf` with a `discriminator` object (including `propertyName` and `mapping`) instead of `anyOf`. When items have `id`, the mapping uses `$ref` paths into `$defs`. No annotations needed — detection is automatic.
-
-## `fromJsonSchema(schema)` — JSON Schema → Annotated Type
-
-The inverse of `buildJsonSchema`. Creates a fully functional annotated type from a JSON Schema:
-
-```ts
-import { fromJsonSchema } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-const type = fromJsonSchema({
-  type: 'object',
-  properties: {
-    name: { type: 'string', minLength: 1 },
-    age: { type: 'integer', minimum: 0 },
-  },
-  required: ['name', 'age'],
-})
-
-// The resulting type has a working validator
-type.validator().validate({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 }) // passes
-```
-
-Supports: `type`, `properties`, `required`, `items`, `anyOf`, `oneOf`, `allOf`, `enum`, `const`, `minLength`, `maxLength`, `minimum`, `maximum`, `pattern`, `minItems`, `maxItems`, `$ref`/`$defs`.
-
-`$ref` paths are automatically resolved from `$defs` or `definitions` in the schema. Unresolvable `$ref` throws an error.
-
-## `mergeJsonSchemas(types)` — Combine Schemas for OpenAPI
-
-Combines multiple annotated types into a single schema map with shared `$defs` — useful for building OpenAPI `components/schemas`:
-
-```ts
-import { mergeJsonSchemas } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-import { CatOrDog } from './pets.as'
-import { Order } from './orders.as'
-
-const merged = mergeJsonSchemas([CatOrDog, Order])
-// merged.schemas.CatOrDog — the CatOrDog schema (oneOf with $ref)
-// merged.schemas.Order    — the Order schema
-// merged.$defs: { Cat, Dog, ... } — shared definitions, deduplicated
-```
-
-All types must have an `id` (all types compiled from `.as` files do). The function calls `buildJsonSchema` on each, hoists `$defs` into a shared pool, and returns individual schemas alongside merged definitions.
-
-## `serializeAnnotatedType(type, options?)` — Serialize to JSON
-
-Converts a runtime annotated type into a plain JSON-safe object for storage or transmission:
-
-```ts
-import { serializeAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-const json = serializeAnnotatedType(User)
-// json is a plain object safe for JSON.stringify()
-const str = JSON.stringify(json)
-```
-
-### Serialization Options
-
-```ts
-serializeAnnotatedType(User, {
-  // Strip specific annotation keys
-  ignoreAnnotations: ['meta.sensitive', 'mongo.collection'],
-
-  // Advanced per-annotation transform
-  processAnnotation(ctx) {
-    // ctx.key    — annotation key (e.g. 'meta.label')
-    // ctx.value  — annotation value
-    // ctx.path   — property path (e.g. ['address', 'city'])
-    // ctx.kind   — type kind at this node
-
-    // Return { key, value } to keep (possibly transformed)
-    // Return undefined to strip
-    if (ctx.key.startsWith('mongo.')) return undefined
-    return { key: ctx.key, value: ctx.value }
-  },
-
-  // Include FK references (0 = strip, 1 = immediate refs, 2+ = deeper)
-  refDepth: 1,
-})
-```
-
-## `deserializeAnnotatedType(data)` — Restore from JSON
-
-Restores a fully functional annotated type from its serialized form:
-
-```ts
-import { deserializeAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-const type = deserializeAnnotatedType(json)
-
-// Fully functional — validator works
-type.validator().validate(someData)
-
-// Metadata accessible
-type.metadata.get('meta.label')
-```
-
-Throws if the serialized version doesn't match `SERIALIZE_VERSION`. The `id` field is preserved through serialization/deserialization.
-
-### `SERIALIZE_VERSION`
-
-Current serialization format version (currently `2`). Used for forward compatibility:
-
-```ts
-import { SERIALIZE_VERSION } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-```
-
-## `flattenAnnotatedType(type, options?)` — Flatten to Dot-Path Map
-
-Flattens a nested object type into a `Map<string, TAtscriptAnnotatedType>` keyed by dot-separated paths:
-
-```ts
-import { flattenAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-const flat = flattenAnnotatedType(User)
-// Map {
-//   ''              → root object type
-//   'name'          → string type (with metadata)
-//   'age'           → number type
-//   'address'       → nested object type
-//   'address.street' → string type
-//   'address.city'  → string type
-// }
-
-for (const [path, type] of flat) {
-  const label = type.metadata.get('meta.label')
-  console.log(path || '(root)', label)
-}
-```
-
-### Flatten Options
-
-```ts
-flattenAnnotatedType(User, {
-  // Callback for each field (non-root)
-  onField(path, type, metadata) {
-    console.log(`Field: ${path}`)
-  },
-
-  // Tag top-level array fields with a metadata key
-  topLevelArrayTag: 'mongo.__topLevelArray',
-
-  // Skip phantom types
-  excludePhantomTypes: true,
-})
-```
-
-### How Flattening Handles Complex Types
-
-- **Objects**: recursed into — each property gets its own path
-- **Arrays**: recursed into — element type's properties share the array's path prefix
-- **Unions/Intersections/Tuples**: recursed into — if the same path appears in multiple branches, they're merged into a synthetic union
-- **Primitives**: added directly at their path
-
-## `createDataFromAnnotatedType(type, options?)` — Create Default Data
-
-Creates a data object matching the type's shape, using structural defaults or annotation values:
-
-```ts
-import { createDataFromAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-// Empty structural defaults ('', 0, false, [], {})
-const empty = createDataFromAnnotatedType(User)
-// { name: '', age: 0, active: false, address: { street: '', city: '' } }
-
-// Use @meta.default annotations
-const defaults = createDataFromAnnotatedType(User, { mode: 'default' })
-
-// Use @meta.example annotations
-const example = createDataFromAnnotatedType(User, { mode: 'example' })
-
-// Custom resolver function
-const custom = createDataFromAnnotatedType(User, {
-  mode: (prop, path) => {
-    if (path === 'name') return 'John Doe'
-    if (path === 'age') return 25
-    return undefined // fall through to structural default
-  },
-})
-```
-
-### Modes
-
-| Mode                | Behavior                                                                                     |
-| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `'empty'` (default) | Structural defaults: `''`, `0`, `false`, `[]`, `{}`. Optional props omitted                  |
-| `'default'`         | Uses `@meta.default` annotations. Optional props only included if annotated                  |
-| `'example'`         | Uses `@meta.example` annotations. Optional props always included. Arrays get one sample item |
-| `function`          | Custom resolver per field. Return `undefined` to fall through                                |
-
-### Behavior Notes
-
-- **Optional properties** are omitted unless the mode provides a value for them (exception: `'example'` mode always includes all optional props)
-- **Arrays** in `'example'` mode generate one sample item from the element type instead of an empty array
-- **Complex types** (object, array): if a `@meta.default`/`@meta.example` annotation is set and passes validation, the entire subtree is replaced (no recursion into inner props)
-- **Annotation values**: strings are used as-is for string types; everything else is parsed via `JSON.parse`
-- **Unions/Intersections**: defaults to first item's value
-- **Phantom types**: skipped
-
-## `isAnnotatedType(value)` — Type Guard
-
-```ts
-import { isAnnotatedType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-if (isAnnotatedType(value)) {
-  value.metadata // safe
-  value.type // safe
-}
-```
-
-## `isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive(type)` — Check if Primitive
-
-Returns `true` for final types and for unions/intersections/tuples whose all members are primitives:
-
-```ts
-import { isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive(stringType) // true
-isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive(objectType) // false
-isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive(unionOfStringAndNumber) // true
-isAnnotatedTypeOfPrimitive(unionOfStringAndObject) // false
-```
-
-## `isPhantomType(def)` — Check if Phantom
-
-```ts
-import { isPhantomType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-isPhantomType(someProperty) // true if designType === 'phantom'
-```
-
-## `TAtscriptDataType<T>` — Extract DataType from Annotated Type
-
-Utility type that extracts the underlying data shape from a `TAtscriptAnnotatedType`. This is the primary way to obtain a TypeScript data type from an Atscript-generated class, especially useful in generic contexts.
-
-```ts
-import type { TAtscriptDataType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-import { Product } from './product.as'
-
-type ProductData = TAtscriptDataType<typeof Product>
-// ProductData = { name: string; price: number; tags: string[] }
-```
-
-### How It Resolves
-
-1. Extracts the phantom `__dataType` from the type definition
-2. If `__dataType` is `unknown` (unset), falls back to the constructor's instance type (`T extends new (...) => infer I`)
-3. Otherwise returns `unknown`
-
-### Use in Generics
-
-`TAtscriptDataType` is designed for generic code that needs to derive data types from annotated type parameters:
-
-```ts
-import type { TAtscriptAnnotatedType, TAtscriptDataType } from '@atscript/typescript/utils'
-
-// Generic repository that infers its entity type
-class Repository<T extends TAtscriptAnnotatedType> {
-  findOne(id: string): Promise<TAtscriptDataType<T>> {
-    /* ... */
-  }
-  insertOne(data: TAtscriptDataType<T>): Promise<void> {
-    /* ... */
-  }
-}
-
-// Usage — DataType is automatically inferred
-const repo = new Repository<typeof Product>()
-const product = await repo.findOne('123') // typed as Product
-
-// Generic function
-function validate<T extends TAtscriptAnnotatedType>(
-  schema: T,
-  data: unknown
-): data is TAtscriptDataType<T> {
-  return schema.validator().validate(data, true)
-}
-```
-
-### Difference from `InferDataType`
-
-- `TAtscriptDataType<T>` — operates on `TAtscriptAnnotatedType` (the full annotated wrapper). Use this for generated classes and generic code.
-- `InferDataType<T>` — operates on raw type definitions (`TAtscriptTypeDef`, `TAtscriptTypeObject`, etc.). Lower-level, extracts `__dataType` from the type def's phantom generic directly.
-
-## Type Exports
