Migration to 0.4.3

0.4.3 is a pre-1.0 release. The breaking changes listed here follow the project's clean-break policy: removed symbols are gone with no shims or deprecation wrappers.

Transform.pipe renamed to Transform.chain

The pipe method name conflicted with the Node.js stream .pipe() convention. The semantic is chaining transform stages sequentially - chain reads correctly.

Method rename

// Before
const schema = Transform.pipe(BaseSchema, [stage1, stage2] as const);

// After
const schema = Transform.chain(BaseSchema, [stage1, stage2] as const);

Type renames

The supporting compile-time types are similarly renamed:

Before	After
PipeChainMismatchInterface	ChainMismatchInterface
PipeChainSchemaMismatchInterface	ChainSchemaMismatchInterface
ValidatePipeChainType	ValidateChainType
PipeChainOutputType	ChainOutputType
PipeChainRecursionCap	ChainRecursionCap

Update any type imports accordingly:

// Before
import type { PipeChainMismatchInterface, PipeChainSchemaMismatchInterface } from 'json-tology/types';

// After
import type { ChainMismatchInterface, ChainSchemaMismatchInterface } from 'json-tology/types';

Migration steps

1. Replace every Transform.pipe( call with Transform.chain(.
2. Rename type imports as shown in the table above.
3. Update any IDE hover text or error message references that cite PipeChainMismatch: they now read ChainMismatch.

No runtime behaviour changes - the composed decode (left-to-right) and encode (right-to-left) semantics are identical.
