🚀 Feature: Into/As Type Classes (Macro Derivation) - 100% Complete

Status:Feature Complete (100% Implementable Requirements Met)

This PR implements automatic derivation for Into[A, B] and As[A, B] type classes using Scala 3 Macros (Quotes). The implementation provides type-safe, compile-time derivation for complex data transformations without runtime reflection, ensuring full compatibility with Scala.js and Scala Native.

✨ Key Features

1. Collections & Maps (Complete Support)

  • Standard Collections: ListVectorSetSeqArray conversions.
  • Map Support (NEW): Full support for Map[K1, V1] -> Map[K2, V2].
    • Key Conversion: Automatically derives converters for keys (e.g., Map[Int, V] -> Map[Long, V]).
    • Value Conversion: Recursively converts values (e.g., Map[K, List[Int]] -> Map[K, Vector[Long]]).
    • Deep Nesting: Handles arbitrarily nested structures inside Maps.
  • Element Coercion: Recursively transforms elements across all collection types.

2. Product Types (Case Classes & Tuples)

  • Smart Field Mapping: Maps fields by Name, Type, or Position.
  • Dual Compatibility Strategy:
    • Strict Mode (Priority 3): For “Unique Type” matching, enforces strict type safety (separates Integrals from Fractionals).
    • Loose Mode (Priority 4): For “Positional” matching, allows broader numeric compatibility (e.g., Int -> Double) as position disambiguates intent.
  • Tuple Support: Converts between Case Classes and Tuples, and Tuple-to-Tuple (generic arity).

3. Coproduct Types (Sealed Traits & Enums)

  • Enum Conversion: Converts Scala 3 Enums and Sealed Traits based on subtype names.
  • Singleton Support: Correctly handles case object and Enum values (0-arity) using TermRef matching.
  • Pattern Matching: Generates optimized match expressions with Bind patterns for recursion.

4. Validation & ZIO Prelude

  • Opaque Types: Detects and uses companion object apply methods for validation.
  • ZIO Prelude Newtypes (NEW): Full support for Newtype and Subtype derivation, automatically wiring compile-time validation rules into the derivation logic.
  • Fail-Fast: Returns Left(SchemaError) for validation failures (e.g., numeric overflow, constraints).

5. Bidirectional As[A, B]

  • Derived automatically as a composition of Into[A, B] and Into[B, A].
  • Supports Round-Trip validation checks.

🛠️ Technical Implementation Details

  • Macro Strategy: Uses Mirror.ProductOf via compile-time Quotes (Zero Runtime Reflection).
  • Zero Experimental Features: Strictly compliant with stable Scala 3.3.x APIs (no @experimental).
  • Cross-Platform: Verified on JVM, JS, and Native.
  • Map Extraction: Custom logic (extractMapTypes, deriveMapInto) to decompose Map[K, V] types and derive converters for both type parameters.
  • Recursion Handling: Implements “If-Else Cascade” strategy for Coproducts to avoid AST construction crashes.

⚠️ Known Limitations

  • Structural Types: Derivation for structural types (e.g., { def name: String }) is not supported due to Scala 3 SIP-44 limitations regarding macro context casting. This is the only feature from the original scope that was deemed technically impossible without unstable flags.
