issue: resolver is converting z.coerce.date().nullish() to unknown instead of Date | null | undefined

[bloodykheeng]

Version Number

"@hookform/resolvers": "^5.2.1",

Codesandbox/Expo snack

tsx nextjs

Steps to reproduce

project_data: z.coerce.date().nullish(),

when i put that in my zod then i infer then i resolve
// ✅ TypeScript Type for Form Fields
type FormData = z.infer;

const AgentVisitForm: React.FC<{
handleFormSubmit: (FormData: FormData | null) => any;
formMutation: any;
initialData?: FormData;
}> = ({ handleFormSubmit, formMutation, initialData = defaultValues }) => {
const {
handleSubmit,
control,
watch,
setValue,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm({
resolver: zodResolver(formSchema),
defaultValues: initialData,
});

Expected behaviour

resolver schema is telling me project_date is unknown
yet infer schema is telling me project_date is Date | null | undefined

so i expected the resolver schema to tell me this too Date | null | undefined
since its what i defined in my zod

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome
