Fix ZodError

in Node.js

Solution

ZodError often arises during debugging or logging when `util.inspect` attempts to stringify a ZodError object, which contains circular references leading to infinite recursion. To fix this, use `JSON.stringify` with a replacer function to handle or exclude circular references within the ZodError object or use a ZodError method like `.errors` to extract and inspect the error details. Alternatively, consider a custom error formatting utility that handles ZodError objects gracefully.
