My application doesn't use class-validator, it uses zod instead. So why is this dependency required?
Is it possible to fix this dependency requirement?

@anotheri feel free to create a PR with a fix! Maybe @rubiin has time for it, but I don't really have time for it at this moment. Sorry.

will check this on free time
