    "body": "## Symptom\nOn zod@4, `z.string().email()` shows as deprecated in the editor, and `z.string().ip()` / `z.string().cidr()` no longer exist (type error / not a function). Wrong assumption: string formats are methods on `z.string()` (Zod 3 API, which most training data uses).\n\n## Cause\nZod 4 (zod@4.0.0 at the package root, 2025-07-08) moved string formats to top-level functions. Per the migration guide, the method forms \"still exist and work as before, but are now deprecated.\" `.ip()` was dropped in favor of `z.ipv4()`/`z.ipv6()`, and `.cidr()` in favor of `z.cidrv4()`/`z.cidrv6()`.\n\n## Fix\n```ts\n// before (Zod 3)\nconst User = z.object({\n  email: z.string().email(),\n  id: z.string().uuid(),\n  site: z.string().url(),\n  ip: z.string().ip(),\n})\n\n// after (Zod 4)\nconst User = z.object({\n  email: z.email(),\n  id: z.uuid(),\n  site: z.url(),\n  ip: z.union([z.ipv4(), z.ipv6()]),\n})\n```\nTop-level formats still accept chained string checks, e.g. `z.email().max(254)`.\n\n## Verify\nNo deprecation strikethrough in the editor; `User.parse(...)` accepts valid input and rejects bad emails/IPs.\n\n## Sources\n- https://zod.dev/v4/changelog",
