Keep list @length off individual Bytes values.

For a Bytes[] field with @length(3, 5), getItemAttributes passes that attribute to each item. This new call then requires every byte value to contain 3–5 bytes, even though the constraint applies to the number of list items. The create and update builders already apply addListValidation to the list. Exclude the list-level @length attribute from the item schema so a valid list can contain byte values of other lengths.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Review comment at @packages/orm/src/client/zod/factory.ts at line 413:
Update the Bytes item-schema path using getItemAttributes so list-level @length
is excluded from attributes passed to addBytesValidation; keep addListValidation
applying the constraint to the list itself.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

Pass the configured @length message to byte refinements.

If a Bytes field declares @length(3, 5, "Invalid avatar size"), a failed check returns Zod’s default refinement message instead of the configured message. Read the attribute’s message argument and pass it to both .refine() calls as the error option. Zod 4 supports that option. (zod.dev)

Review comment at @packages/zod/src/utils.ts at line 299:
Update the byte `@length` refinement logic to read the attribute’s configured
`message` argument and pass it as the `error` option to both `.refine()` calls,
so either failed length bound uses the configured message.
