 /**
- * 🧩 Validation, Parsing, and Transformation
+ * 🧩 Type-safe runtime types
  *
- * ## Intro
+ * Evolu {@link Type} is like a type guard that returns typed errors (via
+ * {@link Result}) instead of throwing. We either get a safely typed value or a
+ * precise, composable error value telling us exactly why validation failed.
  *
- * You probably know [Zod](https://zod.dev). Evolu has {@link Type}.
+ * Why another validation library?
  *
- * Evolu Type exists because no existing validation/parsing/transformation
- * library fully met our needs:
+ * - **Result-based error handling** – no exceptions for normal control flow.
+ * - **Typed errors with decoupled formatters** – validation logic ≠ user
+ *   messages.
+ * - **Consistent constraints via {@link Brand}** – every constraint becomes part
+ *   of the type.
+ * - **No user-land chaining DSL** – designed with the upcoming ES pipe operator
+ *   in mind.
+ * - **Selective validation** – parent validations are skipped when already proved
+ *   by typing.
+ * - **Simple, top-down implementation** – readable source code from top to bottom
+ *   with no hidden magic; just plain functions and composition.
  *
- * - **Result-based error handling**: Leveraging {@link Result} instead of throwing
- *   exceptions.
- * - **Consistent constraints**: Enforcing {@link Brand} for all constraints.
- * - **Typed errors with decoupled formatters**: Avoiding coupling error messages
- *   with validators.
- * - **No user-land chaining**: Designed with ES pipe operator in mind.
- * - **Selective validation/transformation**: Skipping parent Type validations and
- *   transformations when TypeScript's type system can be relied upon.
- * - **Bidirectional transformations**: Supporting transformations in both
- *   directions.
- * - **Minimal and transparent code**: No runtime dependencies or hidden magic.
+ * ### Base Types Quick Start
  *
- * **Note**: A proper quickstart guide is on the way. In the meantime, each type
- * includes its own usage example, and you can (and should) check the tests for
- * practical demonstrations of the API. Or dang, just read the code. It's
- * simple.
+ * ```ts
+ * // Validate unknown values
+ * const value: unknown = "hello";
+ * const stringResult = String.fromUnknown(value);
+ * if (!stringResult.ok) {
+ *   // console.error(formatStringError(stringResult.error));
+ *   return stringResult; // inside a function returning Result<string, _>
+ * }
+ * // Safe branch: value is now string
+ * const upper = stringResult.value.toUpperCase();
  *
- * - Evolu `Type` is:
- * - A TypeScript type with a {@link Brand} whenever it's possible.
- * - A function to create a value of that type, which may fail.
- * - A function to transform value back to its original representation, which
- *   cannot fail.
+ * // Type guard style
+ * if (String.is(value)) {
+ *   // narrowed to string
+ * }
  *
- * Types are chainable. The chain starts with a Base Type that refines an
- * unknown value into something and can continue with further refinements or
- * transformations. For example, `NonEmptyTrimmedString100` chain looks like
- * this:
+ * // Composing: arrays & objects
+ * const Numbers = array(Number); // ReadonlyArray<number>
+ * const Point = object({ x: Number, y: Number });
  *
- * `Unknown` -> `String` -> `TrimmedString` -> `NonEmptyTrimmedString100`
+ * Numbers.from([1, 2, 3]); // ok
+ * Point.from({ x: 1, y: 2 }); // ok
+ * Point.from({ x: 1, y: "2" }); // err -> nested Number error
+ * ```
  *
- * For `NonEmptyTrimmedString100`, the parent Type is `TrimmedString`. For
- * `TrimmedString`, the parent Type is `String`.
+ * ### Branding Basics
  *
- * The parent of the `String` Type is the `String` Type itself. All Base Types
- * `fromParent` functions are just a typed alias to `fromUnknown` to ensure that
- * `fromParent` and `toParent` can be called on any Type.
+ * Branding adds semantic meaning & constraints while preserving the runtime
+ * shape:
  *
- * Speaking of `fromParent` and `toParent`, those functions exist to bypass
- * parent Types when we can rely on TypeScript types.
+ * ```ts
+ * const CurrencyCode = brand("CurrencyCode", String, (value) =>
+ *   /^[A-Z]{3}$/.test(value)
+ *     ? ok(value)
+ *     : err<CurrencyCodeError>({ type: "CurrencyCode", value }),
+ * );
+ * type CurrencyCode = typeof CurrencyCode.Type; // string & Brand<"CurrencyCode">
+ *
+ * interface CurrencyCodeError extends TypeError<"CurrencyCode"> {}
  *
- * `Type` transformations should be reversible. If you need an irreversible
- * transformation, such as `TrimString` (trimming is not reversible as `untrim`
- * can't know what has been trimmed), you can do that, but note in JSDoc that
- * `to` will not restore the original representation. You can also use
- * {@link assert}: `assert(false, "Untrim is not possible")`.
+ * const formatCurrencyCodeError =
+ *   createTypeErrorFormatter<CurrencyCodeError>(
+ *     (error) => `Invalid currency code: ${error.value}`,
+ *   );
+ *
+ * const r = CurrencyCode.from("USD"); // ok("USD")
+ * const e = CurrencyCode.from("usd"); // err(...)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * See also reusable brand factories like `minLength`, `maxLength`, `trimmed`,
+ * `positive`, `between`, etc.
+ *
+ * ### Objects & Optional Fields
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const User = object({
+ *   name: NonEmptyTrimmedString100,
+ *   age: optional(PositiveInt),
+ * });
+ * type User = typeof User.Type;
+ *
+ * User.from({ name: "Alice" }); // ok
+ * User.from({ name: "Alice", age: -1 }); // err(PositiveInt)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Deriving JSON String Types
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const Person = object({
+ *   name: NonEmptyString50,
+ *   // Did you know that JSON.stringify converts NaN (a number) into null?
+ *   // To prevent this, use FiniteNumber.
+ *   age: FiniteNumber,
+ * });
+ * type Person = typeof Person.Type;
+ *
+ * const [PersonJson, personToPersonJson, personJsonToPerson] = json(
+ *   Person,
+ *   "PersonJson",
+ * );
+ * // string & Brand<"PersonJson">
+ * type PersonJson = typeof PersonJson.Type;
+ *
+ * const person = Person.orThrow({
+ *   name: "Alice",
+ *   age: 30,
+ * });
+ *
+ * const personJson = personToPersonJson(person);
+ * expect(personJsonToPerson(personJson)).toEqual(person);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Error Formatting
+ *
+ * Evolu separates validation logic from human-readable messages. There are two
+ * layers:
+ *
+ * 1. Per-type formatters (e.g. `formatStringError`) – simple, focused, already
+ *    used earlier in the quick start example.
+ * 2. A unified formatter via `createFormatTypeError` – composes all built-in and
+ *    custom errors (including nested composite types) and lets us override
+ *    selected messages.
+ *
+ * #### 1. Per-Type Formatter (recap)
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * const r = String.fromUnknown(42);
+ * if (!r.ok) console.error(formatStringError(r.error));
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### 2. Unified Formatter with Overrides
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * // Override only what we care about; fall back to built-ins for the rest.
+ * const formatTypeError = createFormatTypeError((error) => {
+ *   if (error.type === "MinLength") return `Min length is ${error.min}`;
+ * });
+ *
+ * const User = object({ name: NonEmptyTrimmedString100 });
+ * const resultUser = User.from({ name: "" });
+ * if (!resultUser.ok) console.error(formatTypeError(resultUser.error));
+ *
+ * const badPoint = object({ x: Number, y: Number }).from({
+ *   x: 1,
+ *   y: "foo",
+ * });
+ * if (!badPoint.ok) console.error(formatTypeError(badPoint.error));
+ * ```
+ *
+ * The unified formatter walks nested structures (object / array / record /
+ * tuple / union) and applies overrides only where specified, greatly reducing
+ * boilerplate when formatting complex validation errors.
  *
  * ### Tip
  *
  * If necessary, write `globalThis.String` instead of `String` to avoid naming
- * clashes with Base Types.
+ * clashes with native types.
  *
- * ### Design Decision:
+ * ### Design Decision: No Bidirectional Transformations
  *
- * While the `from` function can fail, the `to` function cannot. This simplifies
- * the model by ensuring that every valid input has a corresponding valid
- * output, eliminating the risk of edge cases caused by irreversible
- * operations.
+ * Evolu Type intentionally does not support bidirectional transformations. It
+ * previously did, but supporting that while keeping typed error fidelity added
+ * complexity that hurt readability & reliability. Most persistence pipelines
+ * (e.g. SQLite) already require explicit mapping of query results, so implicit
+ * reverse transforms would not buy much. We may revisit this if we can design a
+ * minimal, 100% safe API that preserves simplicity.

+ * Why Evolu Id over alternatives:
  *
- * Represents a unique identifier with exactly 21 characters, using NanoID's
- * standard format (`A-Za-z0-9_-`).
+ * - **NanoID**: No standard binary serialization format, and uses only ~126 bits
+ *   of entropy (21 characters from 64-symbol alphabet) compared to Evolu Id's
+ *   128 bits.
+ * - **UUID (v4)**: String format is 36 characters (with hyphens) compared to
+ *   Evolu Id's 22 characters. While UUIDs can be stored as 16 bytes, their
+ *   standard string representation is verbose.
+ * - **UUID v7**: Includes timestamp in the ID, which leaks information about when
+ *   data was created. This is a privacy concern for local-first applications
+ *   where creation time must remain private.
+ *
+ * Evolu Id provides 128 bits of entropy, compact string representation (22
+ * characters), standard and native string serialization (Base64Url), and no
+ * privacy leaks.

+ *   }
+ * });
  * ```
  *
- * A custom `formatTypeError` function:
+ * Alternatively, write a custom formatter from scratch without using
+ * `createFormatTypeError`. This gives us full control over error formatting:
  *
  * ```ts
