Shape Options - Parser: timestamptz

Hi there, I'm hoping to clarify what the expected behavior is when using a collection's update functionality with trpc, when that collection is using a parser for dates like so: 
    shapeOptions: {
      parser: {
        timestamptz: (date: string) => new Date(date),
      },
    shapeOptions: {
      parser: {
        timestamptz: (date: string) => new Date(date),
      },
I have an onUpdate handler that calls the corresponding trpc.days.update.mutate endpoint. Just before that call the day object has Date fields, not strings, but I am getting an error from zod validation complaining about recieving strings, not Dates. The schema it's checking against is generated by running export const updateDaySchema = createUpdateSchema(daysTable) which is the pattern the tanstack-db-web-starter repo follows as well thanks in advance for any advice!

trpc stringifies dates so they'll get sent via json if using zod you can do something like: const dateCoercion = z.preprocess((val) => { if (typeof val === string || typeof val === number) { return new Date(val) } return val }, z.date()) export const insertIngredientsSchema = createInsertSchema(ingredients, { expiration_date: dateCoercion, created_at: dateCoercion.optional(), updated_at: dateCoercion.optional(), })
