v3 didn't last four years. Can we expect much different from v4?

If you're migrating your zod 3 code, I'd migrate to something more stable and long-lived than v4 is likely to be -- unless you want to be going through it all again in a few years (and yet again a few years after that, etc).

I don't blame the maintainers (I assume they don't have a fat support and maintenance contract)

But developers need to go in with their eyes open when it comes to adopting these throw-away libraries and frameworks.

So what you're saying is that people need to be aware of software being an iterative process and that maintainers of libraries can't know in advance all the things that might come up in 4 years time?

I don't know of any software that doesn't have these problems. Either you snapshot a thing and never do updates or you continually update it and have things change.

The update causes almost 0 breaking changes. I don't think this classifies as a "throwaway" library.
