 ### Large Data — JS Object Validation

 ### How it works
 
-**Combined single-pass validation**: ata compiles schemas into monolithic JS functions that both validate and collect errors in a single pass. Valid data returns immediately (lazy error array — zero allocation). Invalid data collects errors without a second pass.
+**Hybrid validator**: ata compiles schemas into monolithic JS functions identical to the boolean fast path, but returning `VALID_RESULT` on success and calling the error collector on failure. V8 TurboFan optimizes it identically to a pure boolean function — error code is dead code on the valid path. No try/catch (3.3x V8 deopt), no lazy arrays, no double-pass.
 
 **JS codegen**: Schemas are compiled to monolithic JS functions (like ajv). Supported keywords: `type`, `required`, `properties`, `items`, `enum`, `const`, `allOf`, `anyOf`, `oneOf`, `not`, `if/then/else`, `uniqueItems`, `contains`, `prefixItems`, `additionalProperties`, `dependentRequired`, `$ref` (local), `minimum/maximum`, `minLength/maxLength`, `pattern`, `format`.

 ## When to use ata
 
-- **Any `validate(obj)` workload** — 1.6x–2.7x faster than ajv on all data
+- **Any `validate(obj)` workload** — 4.3x–9.5x faster than ajv
 - **Serverless / cold starts** — 12.5x faster schema compilation
 - **Security-sensitive apps** — RE2 regex, immune to ReDoS attacks
 - **Batch/streaming validation** — NDJSON log processing, data pipelines (2.6x faster)

 ## Features
 
-- **Combined single-pass validation**: One JS function validates + collects errors — no double pass, lazy error allocation
+- **Hybrid validator**: 76M ops/sec — same function body as boolean check, returns result or calls error collector. No try/catch, no double pass
 - **Multi-core**: Parallel validation across all CPU cores — 13.4M validations/sec
 - **simdjson**: SIMD-accelerated JSON parsing at GB/s speeds, adaptive On Demand for large docs
 - **RE2 regex**: Linear-time guarantees, immune to ReDoS attacks (2391x faster on pathological input)
