zod unions and refines

[sschneider-ihre-pvs]

I have a large form that also need some cross field validation. I use a zod schema in the way that I have a zod object for the form and that zod object has properties with primitives and so on. But there are also fields that are also other schemas or another zod object or I have other schemas that are concatenated with .and() in the way that I can refine those seperately like valdid from date and valid to date and they have some rules.
It seems that I hit some invisible wall though where I have a schema that does not reach one of the and or I have a path that only has an error representation but no field in the form. So I do get a positive false. But when I change the valdiation schema with hot reloading and the fields get detached from the form, those expected error messages show up.
Is there any good approach on how to debug the path resolution, for example? Or is there a way to follow the parsing error from zod instead of what is forwarded to vee validate? Because I made a computed to validate the current form values against the zod schema and there are more and other errors present as I can see in the vue dev tools.

Or is there maybe a way to have a link from the form fields to the validation rules in the dev tools?

I think I found the answer. I had a schema zod object with properties and nullish, but my initial value was {} so it was not nullish but also not the correct shape of the zod object and all properties were undefined, so there was no data for refinement.
It was really painful to find this oddity.
