-## Why Zod?
-
-### Benefits Over Joi/Other Libraries
-
-**Type Safety:**
-- ✅ Full TypeScript inference
-- ✅ Runtime + compile-time validation
-- ✅ Automatic type generation
-
-**Developer Experience:**
-- ✅ Intuitive API
-- ✅ Composable schemas
-- ✅ Excellent error messages
-
-**Performance:**
-- ✅ Fast validation
-- ✅ Small bundle size
-- ✅ Tree-shakeable
-
-### Migration from Joi
-
-Modern validation uses Zod instead of Joi:
-
-```typescript
-// ❌ OLD - Joi (being phased out)
-const schema = Joi.object({
-    email: Joi.string().email().required(),
-    name: Joi.string().min(3).required(),
-});
-
-// ✅ NEW - Zod (preferred)
-const schema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string().min(3),
-});
-```
-
----
-
-## Basic Zod Patterns
-
-### Primitive Types
-
-```typescript
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-// Strings
-const nameSchema = z.string();
-const emailSchema = z.string().email();
-const urlSchema = z.string().url();
-const uuidSchema = z.string().uuid();
-const minLengthSchema = z.string().min(3);
-const maxLengthSchema = z.string().max(100);
-
-// Numbers
-const ageSchema = z.number().int().positive();
-const priceSchema = z.number().positive();
-const rangeSchema = z.number().min(0).max(100);
-
-// Booleans
-const activeSchema = z.boolean();
-
-// Dates
-const dateSchema = z.string().datetime(); // ISO 8601 string
-const nativeDateSchema = z.date(); // Native Date object
-
-// Enums
-const roleSchema = z.enum(['admin', 'operations', 'user']);
-const statusSchema = z.enum(['PENDING', 'APPROVED', 'REJECTED']);
-```
-
-### Objects
-
-```typescript
-// Simple object
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string(),
-    age: z.number().int().positive(),
-});
-
-// Nested objects
-const addressSchema = z.object({
-    street: z.string(),
-    city: z.string(),
-    zipCode: z.string().regex(/^\d{5}$/),
-});
-
-const userWithAddressSchema = z.object({
-    name: z.string(),
-    address: addressSchema,
-});
-
-// Optional fields
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    name: z.string(),
-    email: z.string().email().optional(),
-    phone: z.string().optional(),
-});
-
-// Nullable fields
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    name: z.string(),
-    middleName: z.string().nullable(),
-});
-```
-
-### Arrays
-
-```typescript
-// Array of primitives
-const rolesSchema = z.array(z.string());
-const numbersSchema = z.array(z.number());
-
-// Array of objects
-const usersSchema = z.array(
-    z.object({
-        id: z.string(),
-        name: z.string(),
-    })
-);
-
-// Array with constraints
-const tagsSchema = z.array(z.string()).min(1).max(10);
-const nonEmptyArray = z.array(z.string()).nonempty();
-```

-
-## Schema Examples from Codebase
-
-### Form Validation Schemas
-
-**File:** `/form/src/helpers/zodSchemas.ts`
-
-```typescript
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-// Question types enum
-export const questionTypeSchema = z.enum([
-    'input',
-    'textbox',
-    'editor',
-    'dropdown',
-    'autocomplete',
-    'checkbox',
-    'radio',
-    'upload',
-]);
-
-// Upload types
-export const uploadTypeSchema = z.array(
-    z.enum(['pdf', 'image', 'excel', 'video', 'powerpoint', 'word']).nullable()
-);
-
-// Input types
-export const inputTypeSchema = z
-    .enum(['date', 'number', 'input', 'currency'])
-    .nullable();
-
-// Question option
-export const questionOptionSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.number().int().positive().optional(),
-    controlTag: z.string().max(150).nullable().optional(),
-    label: z.string().max(100).nullable().optional(),
-    order: z.number().int().min(0).default(0),
-});
-
-// Question schema
-export const questionSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.number().int().positive().optional(),
-    formID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    sectionID: z.number().int().positive().optional(),
-    options: z.array(questionOptionSchema).optional(),
-    label: z.string().max(500),
-    description: z.string().max(5000).optional(),
-    type: questionTypeSchema,
-    uploadTypes: uploadTypeSchema.optional(),
-    inputType: inputTypeSchema.optional(),
-    tags: z.array(z.string().max(150)).optional(),
-    required: z.boolean(),
-    isStandard: z.boolean().optional(),
-    deprecatedKey: z.string().nullable().optional(),
-    maxLength: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional(),
-    isOptionsSorted: z.boolean().optional(),
-});
-
-// Form section schema
-export const formSectionSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.number().int().positive(),
-    formID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    questions: z.array(questionSchema).optional(),
-    label: z.string().max(500),
-    description: z.string().max(5000).optional(),
-    isStandard: z.boolean(),
-});
-
-// Create form schema
-export const createFormSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.number().int().positive(),
-    label: z.string().max(150),
-    description: z.string().max(6000).nullable().optional(),
-    isPhase: z.boolean().optional(),
-    username: z.string(),
-});
-
-// Update order schema
-export const updateOrderSchema = z.object({
-    source: z.object({
-        index: z.number().int().min(0),
-        sectionID: z.number().int().min(0),
-    }),
-    destination: z.object({
-        index: z.number().int().min(0),
-        sectionID: z.number().int().min(0),
-    }),
-});
-
-// Controller-specific validation schemas
-export const createQuestionValidationSchema = z.object({
-    formID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    sectionID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    question: questionSchema,
-    index: z.number().int().min(0).nullable().optional(),
-    username: z.string(),
-});
-
-export const updateQuestionValidationSchema = z.object({
-    questionID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    username: z.string(),
-    question: questionSchema,
-});
-```
-
-### Proxy Relationship Schema
-
-```typescript
-// Proxy relationship validation
-const createProxySchema = z.object({
-    originalUserID: z.string().min(1),
-    proxyUserID: z.string().min(1),
-    startsAt: z.string().datetime(),
-    expiresAt: z.string().datetime(),
-});
-
-// With custom validation
-const createProxySchemaWithValidation = createProxySchema.refine(
-    (data) => new Date(data.expiresAt) > new Date(data.startsAt),
-    {
-        message: 'expiresAt must be after startsAt',
-        path: ['expiresAt'],
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Workflow Validation
-
-```typescript
-// Workflow start schema
-const startWorkflowSchema = z.object({
-    workflowCode: z.string().min(1),
-    entityType: z.enum(['Post', 'User', 'Comment']),
-    entityID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    dryRun: z.boolean().optional().default(false),
-});
-
-// Workflow step completion schema
-const completeStepSchema = z.object({
-    stepInstanceID: z.number().int().positive(),
-    answers: z.record(z.string(), z.any()),
-    dryRun: z.boolean().optional().default(false),
-});
-```
-
----
-
-## Route-Level Validation
-
-### Pattern 1: Inline Validation
-
-```typescript
-// routes/proxyRoutes.ts
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-const createProxySchema = z.object({
-    originalUserID: z.string().min(1),
-    proxyUserID: z.string().min(1),
-    startsAt: z.string().datetime(),
-    expiresAt: z.string().datetime(),
-});
-
-router.post(
-    '/',
-    SSOMiddlewareClient.verifyLoginStatus,
-    async (req, res) => {
-        try {
-            // Validate at route level
-            const validated = createProxySchema.parse(req.body);
-
-            // Delegate to service
-            const proxy = await proxyService.createProxyRelationship(validated);
-
-            res.status(201).json({ success: true, data: proxy });
-        } catch (error) {
-            if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-                return res.status(400).json({
-                    success: false,
-                    error: {
-                        message: 'Validation failed',
-                        details: error.errors,
-                    },
-                });
-            }
-            handler.handleException(res, error);
-        }
-    }
-);
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Quick and simple
-- Good for simple routes
-
-**Cons:**
-- Validation logic in routes
-- Harder to test
-- Not reusable
-

-
-## Controller Validation
-
-### Pattern 2: Controller Validation (Recommended)
-
-```typescript
-// validators/userSchemas.ts
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-export const createUserSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
-    roles: z.array(z.enum(['admin', 'operations', 'user'])),
-    isActive: z.boolean().default(true),
-});
-
-export const updateUserSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email().optional(),
-    name: z.string().min(2).max(100).optional(),
-    roles: z.array(z.enum(['admin', 'operations', 'user'])).optional(),
-    isActive: z.boolean().optional(),
-});
-
-export type CreateUserDTO = z.infer<typeof createUserSchema>;
-export type UpdateUserDTO = z.infer<typeof updateUserSchema>;
-```
-
-```typescript
-// controllers/UserController.ts
-import { Request, Response } from 'express';
-import { BaseController } from './BaseController';
-import { UserService } from '../services/userService';
-import { createUserSchema, updateUserSchema } from '../validators/userSchemas';
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-export class UserController extends BaseController {
-    private userService: UserService;
-
-    constructor() {
-        super();
-        this.userService = new UserService();
-    }
-
-    async createUser(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> {
-        try {
-            // Validate input
-            const validated = createUserSchema.parse(req.body);
-
-            // Call service
-            const user = await this.userService.createUser(validated);
-
-            this.handleSuccess(res, user, 'User created successfully', 201);
-        } catch (error) {
-            if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-                // Handle validation errors with 400 status
-                return this.handleError(error, res, 'createUser', 400);
-            }
-            this.handleError(error, res, 'createUser');
-        }
-    }
-
-    async updateUser(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> {
-        try {
-            // Validate params and body
-            const userId = req.params.id;
-            const validated = updateUserSchema.parse(req.body);
-
-            const user = await this.userService.updateUser(userId, validated);
-
-            this.handleSuccess(res, user, 'User updated successfully');
-        } catch (error) {
-            if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-                return this.handleError(error, res, 'updateUser', 400);
-            }
-            this.handleError(error, res, 'updateUser');
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Clean separation
-- Reusable schemas
-- Easy to test
-- Type-safe DTOs
-
-**Cons:**
-- More files to manage
-
----
-
-## DTO Pattern
-
-### Type Inference from Schemas
-
-```typescript
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-// Define schema
-const createUserSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string(),
-    age: z.number().int().positive(),
-});
-
-// Infer TypeScript type from schema
-type CreateUserDTO = z.infer<typeof createUserSchema>;
-
-// Equivalent to:
-// type CreateUserDTO = {
-//     email: string;
-//     name: string;
-//     age: number;
-// }
-
-// Use in service
-class UserService {
-    async createUser(data: CreateUserDTO): Promise<User> {
-        // data is fully typed!
-        console.log(data.email); // ✅ TypeScript knows this exists
-        console.log(data.invalid); // ❌ TypeScript error!
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Input vs Output Types
-
-```typescript
-// Input schema (what API receives)
-const createUserInputSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string(),
-    password: z.string().min(8),
-});
-
-// Output schema (what API returns)
-const userOutputSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.string().uuid(),
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string(),
-    createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
-    // password excluded!
-});
-
-type CreateUserInput = z.infer<typeof createUserInputSchema>;
-type UserOutput = z.infer<typeof userOutputSchema>;
-```
-
----
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Zod Error Format
-
-```typescript
-try {
-    const validated = schema.parse(data);
-} catch (error) {
-    if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-        console.log(error.errors);
-        // [
-        //   {
-        //     code: 'invalid_type',
-        //     expected: 'string',
-        //     received: 'number',
-        //     path: ['email'],
-        //     message: 'Expected string, received number'
-        //   }
-        // ]
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Error Messages
-
-```typescript
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.string().email({ message: 'Please provide a valid email address' }),
-    name: z.string().min(2, { message: 'Name must be at least 2 characters' }),
-    age: z.number().int().positive({ message: 'Age must be a positive number' }),
-});
-```
-
-### Formatted Error Response
-
-```typescript
-// Helper function to format Zod errors
-function formatZodError(error: z.ZodError) {
-    return {
-        message: 'Validation failed',
-        errors: error.errors.map((err) => ({
-            field: err.path.join('.'),
-            message: err.message,
-            code: err.code,
-        })),
-    };
-}
-
-// In controller
-catch (error) {
-    if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-        return res.status(400).json({
-            success: false,
-            error: formatZodError(error),
-        });
-    }
-}
-
-// Response example:
-// {
-//   "success": false,
-//   "error": {
-//     "message": "Validation failed",
-//     "errors": [
-//       {
-//         "field": "email",
-//         "message": "Invalid email",
-//         "code": "invalid_string"
-//       }
-//     ]
-//   }
-// }
-```
-
----
-
-## Advanced Patterns
-
-### Conditional Validation
-
-```typescript
-// Validate based on other field values
-const submissionSchema = z.object({
-    type: z.enum(['NEW', 'UPDATE']),
-    postId: z.number().optional(),
-}).refine(
-    (data) => {
-        // If type is UPDATE, postId is required
-        if (data.type === 'UPDATE') {
-            return data.postId !== undefined;
-        }
-        return true;
-    },
-    {
-        message: 'postId is required when type is UPDATE',
-        path: ['postId'],
-    }
-);
-```
-
-### Transform Data
-
-```typescript
-// Transform strings to numbers
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    name: z.string(),
-    age: z.string().transform((val) => parseInt(val, 10)),
-});
-
-// Transform dates
-const eventSchema = z.object({
-    name: z.string(),
-    date: z.string().transform((str) => new Date(str)),
-});
-```
-
-### Preprocess Data
-
-```typescript
-// Trim strings before validation
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    email: z.preprocess(
-        (val) => typeof val === 'string' ? val.trim().toLowerCase() : val,
-        z.string().email()
-    ),
-    name: z.preprocess(
-        (val) => typeof val === 'string' ? val.trim() : val,
-        z.string().min(2)
-    ),
-});
-```
-
-### Union Types
-
-```typescript
-// Multiple possible types
-const idSchema = z.union([z.string(), z.number()]);
-
-// Discriminated unions
-const notificationSchema = z.discriminatedUnion('type', [
-    z.object({
-        type: z.literal('email'),
-        recipient: z.string().email(),
-        subject: z.string(),
-    }),
-    z.object({
-        type: z.literal('sms'),
-        phoneNumber: z.string(),
-        message: z.string(),
-    }),
-]);
-```
-
-### Recursive Schemas
-
-```typescript
-// For nested structures like trees
-type Category = {
-    id: number;
-    name: string;
-    children?: Category[];
-};
-
-const categorySchema: z.ZodType<Category> = z.lazy(() =>
-    z.object({
-        id: z.number(),
-        name: z.string(),
-        children: z.array(categorySchema).optional(),
-    })
-);
-```
-
-### Schema Composition
-
-```typescript
-// Base schemas
-const timestampsSchema = z.object({
-    createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
-    updatedAt: z.string().datetime(),
-});
-
-const auditSchema = z.object({
-    createdBy: z.string(),
-    updatedBy: z.string(),
-});
-
-// Compose schemas
-const userSchema = z.object({
-    id: z.string(),
-    email: z.string().email(),
-    name: z.string(),
-}).merge(timestampsSchema).merge(auditSchema);
-
-// Extend schemas
-const adminUserSchema = userSchema.extend({
-    adminLevel: z.number().int().min(1).max(5),
-    permissions: z.array(z.string()),
-});
-
-// Pick specific fields
-const publicUserSchema = userSchema.pick({
-    id: true,
-    name: true,
-    // email excluded
-});
-
-// Omit fields
-const userWithoutTimestamps = userSchema.omit({
-    createdAt: true,
-    updatedAt: true,
-});
-```
-
-### Validation Middleware
-
-```typescript
-// Create reusable validation middleware
-import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';
-import { z } from 'zod';
-
-export function validateBody<T extends z.ZodType>(schema: T) {
-    return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
-        try {
-            req.body = schema.parse(req.body);
-            next();
-        } catch (error) {
-            if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
-                return res.status(400).json({
-                    success: false,
-                    error: {
-                        message: 'Validation failed',
-                        details: error.errors,
-                    },
-                });
-            }
-            next(error);
-        }
-    };
-}
-
-// Usage
-router.post('/users',
-    validateBody(createUserSchema),
-    async (req, res) => {
-        // req.body is validated and typed!
-        const user = await userService.createUser(req.body);
-        res.json({ success: true, data: user });
-    }
-);
-```
