@belsrc @brandonjpierce another one for you! This one removes some type definitions and infers them from the schema instead. Thank you! |

This PR replaces ~40 lines of manual TypeScript type definitions with
z.infer<typeof schema>to derive types directly from Zod schemas. This eliminates the duplication between validation schemas and TypeScript types, ensuring they can never drift apart. I tweaked some existing tests and added some new ones to verify default button values are applied when omitted and explicit values are preserved.
