+ * Local edits vs upstream:
+ *   - Removed `import { z } from "zod"` and `safeParseJsonWithSchema`. The
+ *     zod dependency was used solely to validate that one parsed JSON
+ *     payload is a record (object with string keys); the inline helper
+ *     `parseRecordJson` below is the equivalent without pulling in zod.
+ *
+ * Resync procedure:
+ *   1. Copy the upstream file as-is over this body.
+ *   2. Re-apply the zod -> parseRecordJson replacement at the line that
+ *      assigns `parsed` inside `parseInboundMetaBlock` (search for

+ *   v23.6.0 and later (and on by default everywhere in v24+). On 22.6+
+ *   it requires the --experimental-strip-types flag, which `node --test`
