One decision that seems dubious to me is the zod/v4-mini import. I suspect that this will actually increase bundle sizes across the ecosystem. The docs specifically say "zod/v4 is still recommended for the majority of use cases", so application developers will use it. Library authors will think to themselves, "but I want to enable my library to be used by those with uncommonly strict bundle size requirements", and so will use that. The net result is that both zod/v4 and zod/v4-mini will be included in the application bundle.

I guess this could be mostly avoided if zod/v4 actually a wrapper around zod/v4-mini. Is that the case?
