+JSON metadata validation now delegates to ``msgspec.convert`` for the type
+coercions it supports (``Literal`` membership, ``int`` / ``bool`` strictness,
+list-to-tuple), replacing the per-field hand-written ``parse_*`` logic. A small
+fallback validates the recursive JSON values msgspec cannot, now with an
+explicit nesting-depth limit, and a latent generator-exhaustion bug in
+``parse_storage_transformers`` is fixed. See #3285.
