Improve type safety in defaultsValueFromSchema with generics

[Copilot]

Addresses type safety feedback on the defaultsValueFromSchema function which was using any types extensively in its signature.

Changes

• Function signature: Added generic <T = any> and changed schema: S.Schema<any> → S.Schema<T>
• Parameter types: Changed record: Record<string, any> → Record<string, unknown>
• Return type: Changed any → T | Partial<T> | null | undefined to accurately reflect actual return values
• Internal handling: Added type assertions for recursive calls where unknown types needed explicit casting

Example

// Before
export const defaultsValueFromSchema = (
  schema: S.Schema<any>,
  record: Record<string, any> = {}
): any => { ... }

// After
export const defaultsValueFromSchema = <T = any>(
  schema: S.Schema<T>,
  record: Record<string, unknown> = {}
): T | Partial<T> | null | undefined => { ... }

The generic parameter enables better type inference while maintaining backward compatibility through the T = any default.
