[v2] Centralize pipeline for listeners and validators - #2482
Merging this PR will not cause a version bump for any packages. If these changes should not result in a new version, you're good to go. If these changes should result in a version bump, you need to add a changeset.

This change replaces inline form validation and listener execution with shared pipeline modules, source-owned error storage, and tracked submission attempts. It rewires field, form, and group APIs, updates public validation result types, and aligns devtools, server-state handling, and tests with the new structure.
Changes: Form validation pipeline rework
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Shared pipeline runtime and result model packages/form-core/src/pipeline/*, packages/form-core/src/validation/errorStorage.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/validation/results/*, packages/form-core/src/validation/state.public.ts, packages/form-core/src/ListenerInstance.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/ValidatorInstance.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/ValidationSourceInstance.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/listeners.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/validation/{execution,mount,pipeline,parseIssues,index}.ts, packages/form-core/package.json
Adds shared pipeline state, selection, execution, cancellation, validator and listener runtime classes, validation result formatting, Standard Schema helpers, and source-owned error storage. Removes the earlier top-level runtime and validation modules.
Field API event, watch, and metadata rewrite packages/form-core/src/FieldApi/*, packages/form-core/src/types.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/utils.lib.ts, packages/form-core/tests/FieldApi/*, packages/form-core/tests/utils.test.ts, packages/form-core/tests/devtoolsBridge.lib.spec.ts
Field logic now delegates option updates, event handling, validation runs, watch registration, traversal, subtree metadata counting, and stale-error clearing to extracted modules. Blur/update propagation uses notifyParentFields. Field tests shift to the new validation, error-visibility, watch, and cancellation behavior.
Form and group lifecycle, submission, and server state packages/form-core/src/FormApi/*, packages/form-core/src/FormGroupApi/*, packages/form-core/src/submissionAttempt.lib.ts, packages/form-core/src/ssr.lib.ts, packages/form-core/tests/FormApi/*, packages/form-core/tests/FormGroupApi/*, packages/form-core/tests/serverValidate*.ts, packages/react-form-start/src/utils.ts, packages/react-form-start/tests/start.spec.ts
Form and group APIs now use shared validation runners, submission attempts, formatted validation errors, extracted initialization, option updates, and server-state reset logic. Submit calls now return distinct promises. Server validation and hydration use formatted results and direct server-state serialization.
Public exports, devtools bridges, and integration updates packages/form-core/src/{index.ts,internals.ts,defaultOptions.public.ts,devtoolsBridge.lib.ts}, packages/form-core/src/*/*.public.ts, packages/form-devtools/src/bridge/fields/*, packages/form-devtools/tests/*, packages/form-core/tests/{ListenerInstance.spec.ts,ValidatorInstance.spec.ts,validation-*.ts,standardSchema.spec.ts}
Public imports and exports move to the new pipeline and validation paths. Validation and submit APIs expose formatted error types. Devtools now read errors from error stores and relations from watch registries, and tests update to the new contracts and dependency-change payload shape.
This rework of the validation and submission pipeline is largely sound. Several correctness gaps remain. Validators or listeners removed from options can keep running. A submission can leave an outdated error on a field the user has already corrected. Validator exceptions skip onSubmitInvalid, even though its documentation says it handles them. These should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Explanation
The title "[v2] Centralize pipeline for listeners and validators" matches the main change. The PR adds a shared pipeline runner (pipeline/runPipeline.lib.ts, listeners and validation pipeline modules) that listeners and validators use, and it removes the older per-module validation and listener machinery. The title is concise and specific. The "[v2]" prefix adds little, but it does not make the title misleading.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a Changes section that states the motivation and lists the intended effects of the centralized pipeline. The checklist is filled in. The author checked the contributing guide and the testing items. The release-impact section is left unchecked, so the changeset question is unanswered. The Changes section describes the purpose but does not name the main modules or API changes, so a reviewer gets limited detail on scope.

Cancel pending validation of replaced descendant fields on a parent write.
_cancelFieldValidation cancels the form and each existing node on the written path, but it does not cancel runs of that node's descendants. When setFieldValue('user', ...) replaces the object, a blur run pending on user.name keeps lifetime.cancelled false. When it completes, it publishes its error for the user.name validator, although the value it checked has been replaced. That error can remain visible until a later validation of that field replaces it.
Cancel the descendant runs of the written subtree in the same path, as _cancelChangedValidation does for bulk updates. Apply this only when the full path exists, so that sibling fields are not canceled.

Skip stale submit results before they update live field errors.
A submit field run reports its result for the value it validated when the run started. A value change during that run does not cancel it. Submit runs register with the submission attempt instead of the owner's validation tracker, and they do not supersede other runs. When such a run returns an error, the loop in handleSubmit.lib.ts publishes it with field._processValidationResult(result, 'submit'). The only guard is submission.isActive(), which remains true during validation. The stale submit error can therefore stay on the field while its current value passes change validation.
Before publishing a field result, check that the field value still matches the value the run validated. Skip the live field update when it differs. Keep the result in the submission outcome so that the outcome still reflects the submitted value.

Route validator exceptions through onSubmitInvalid.
Field validation rejections are rethrown at handleSubmit.lib.ts:122-123. A rejected formRun.pending at line 134 also propagates out of validateFormSubmission. Both exits happen before runFormSubmissionCallbacks runs. The only onSubmitInvalid call in this file is in finishInvalidSubmission (line 173), which that path never reaches. A field or form validator that throws therefore does not invoke onSubmitInvalid.
The public onSubmitInvalid contract says it handles "exceptions during validation or onSubmit" (formOptions.public.ts). Exceptions from onSubmit already follow this contract: the catch at lines 211-216 logs them and calls finishInvalidSubmission. Validation exceptions do not.
Choose one of these corrections:
Record validator exceptions as a failed validation, then let runFormSubmissionCallbacks finish the attempt. This matches the onSubmit path. Decide how the exception is logged or reported before implementing this.
If rejection-only handling is intended, update the onSubmitInvalid documentation in formOptions.public.ts to state that validator exceptions are not handled.

Prefix nested field-run error keys with the field's group-relative name.
_runFieldValidations returns each field run's value.result through getValidationErrors unchanged. When a field validator returns nested fields errors, such as city for the field address in group details, the returned key stays city. The group-relative path is address.city, and the return type is typed by TGroupValue. Field-owned processing keeps only the field's self errors, so this returned array is the only place the nested error appears. Rebase those keys to the group-relative field name before they are returned. Keep the group-owned path at lines 372-376 unchanged, since its keys already belong to the group.

Dispose and remove trailing listener instances.
When definitions change from [A, B] to [A], this returns the original two-instance array. B remains active, so later events still invoke a listener that the options removed. The length warning does not stop execution. The immediate base disposed trailing instances and truncated the array. Restore that cleanup before returning. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Dispose and remove trailing validator instances.
When definitions change from [A, B] to [A], this still returns both instances. A failing B therefore continues to reject submissions after its definition is removed. Field and group option callers still explicitly handle shortened lists, despite the invariant warning. Restore the immediate base's trailing-instance disposal and array truncation.

Preserve __proto__ as an own field key.
If a schema issue has path: ['__proto__'], parseIssuesToErrorMap produces an own field entry. This assignment writes that entry into {} and changes its prototype instead. Object.keys and Object.entries then omit the error, so getValidationErrors and form error routing lose it.
Use a null-prototype accumulator or define each field as an own data property.
