Kept undefinedable items required on purpose, to match how object entries are converted: required keeps undefinedable keys and leaves out only optional, nullish and exact_optional ones. Valibot's runtime does accept an omitted trailing undefinedable item, but it also accepts an omitted undefinedable object key, and the converter follows the type-level meaning there (undefinedable marks a value that may be undefined, not a position or key that may be absent). 11f3fc0 adds a test pinning this so the two cases stay aligned. If the maintainers would rather treat it as omittable, I'd change both places together.

Handle lazy optional items when calculating minItems.

For v.tuple([v.lazy(() => v.optional(v.number()))]), Valibot accepts [], but the generated JSON Schema requires one item. Account for lazy schemas that resolve to optional items when calculating minItems.

lines 311 - 316:
Update the minItems calculation for tuple schemas so lazy items that resolve to
optional schemas are treated as optional, allowing the minimum to decrease for
trailing lazy-optional items. Use the existing Valibot lazy-schema resolution
mechanism and preserve the current handling of directly optional and nullish
items.

Not changed here: lazy items are treated the same way as lazy object entries, which stay in required even when the getter resolves to an optional schema. Resolving the getter only for tuples would make the two cases diverge; if lazy resolution is wanted, it should land in both places in one change.

@yxshee That makes sense. Both tuple and object conversion currently treat lazy schemas as required, so addressing them together would keep their handling consistent.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for both cases?

Preserve required tuple positions in output mode.

For v.tuple([v.string(), v.optional(v.number(), 42)]), output mode emits minItems: 1. A validator accepts ['x'], although parsing it produces ['x', 42]. Preserve required output positions when calculating minItems.

355:
Update the tuple conversion logic that assigns jsonSchema.minItems so output
mode counts positions required by the output tuple, including optional elements
with defaults that parsing supplies. Preserve the existing input-mode behavior
and derive the count from the tuple’s required output positions.

Not changed here: typeMode is applied to pipelines only, and object conversion does not consult it either, so an optional entry with a default is left out of required in output mode today. Tuples now follow the same rule. Making required and minItems aware of typeMode would be a separate change covering both.

@yxshee That makes sense. Tuple conversion now follows the existing object behavior. The output-mode limitation remains, but it can be addressed separately for both tuples and objects.
