Feature: Type Ergonomics Improvements #67

Description

@Goldziher

Focused Scope

Improve concrete TypeScript ergonomics where the current API can be made more precise.

Proposed v1

  • Export FactoryOutput<F>.
  • Consider InferFactorySchema<S> only if it can be implemented without broad compiler-style promises.
  • Improve extend() typing so extension functions can return only added fields when possible.
  • Add expect-type coverage for literal preservation, explicit discriminated unions, and composition not degrading to any.

Out of Scope

  • Runtime validation from TypeScript types.
  • Custom compiler error messages.
  • IntelliSense guarantees.
  • Object-literal constructor examples that do not match the current API.

The original issue mixed useful DX work with goals TypeScript cannot provide at runtime. This version keeps the work measurable.
