Description

After upgrading Zod dependency to 4.0.5 from 3 and using Express Zod API 24.6, The input and output types from the default endpoint factory seem to have a type mismatch with anything from Zod.

Before the ugprade, I was using zod/v4 from the latest 3 package.

Input/output seem to be expecting a "example" and a "deprecated" property on everything that's passed to input schema but these properties don't seem to exist on the schemas defined in Zod.

Type 'ZodObject<{ name: ZodOptional<ZodString>; }, $strip>' is missing the following properties from type 'ZodType<Base$1, unknown, $ZodTypeInternals<Base$1, unknown>>': example, deprecatedts(2739)
index.d.ts(612, 5): The expected type comes from property 'input' which is declared here on type 'BuildProps<IOSchema, IOSchema, undefined, Record<string, never>, string>'

(property) BuildProps<IOSchema, IOSchema, undefined, Record<string, never>, string>.input?: IOSchema | undefined
@desc — Input schema of the Endpoint, combining properties from all the enabled input sources (path params, headers)

This happens even with a schema defined inline, in this example I removed the schema defined in the "shared" package where all our schemas across the stack recide:

Reproduction

See screenshot, this exact code was working with zod 3 and import from zod/v4.
