SCORE

Shorn is a binary codec library that uses Zod schemas to define serialization and deserialization without requiring an interface definition language or code generation step. It allows developers to reuse existing Zod schema definitions to encode and decode binary data directly. No additional tooling or build pipeline changes are needed beyond the Zod dependency.
