Zod 4: z.record(valueSchema) single-argument form removed — pass key and value schemas
// before (Zod 3)
const Headers = z.record(z.string())
// after (Zod 4)
const Headers = z.record(z.string(), z.string())
When the key schema is an enum, Zod 4 records are exhaustive (every enum key must be present); use z.partialRecord(z.enum([...]), value) if keys are optional.
Symptom
After upgrading to zod@4, z.record(z.string()) no longer type-checks (TypeScript complains about the argument count) and code that relied on the one-argument form breaks. Wrong assumption: z.record(valueSchema) defaults the key to z.string() (Zod 3 behavior).
Cause
Zod 4 (zod@4.0.0 at the package root, 2025-07-08) dropped the single-argument z.record() overload. Both the key schema and the value schema are required.
Verify
tsc --noEmit passes; Headers.parse({ a: 'b' }) succeeds.
