VeeValidate v4 schema validation and asynchronous field synchronization

Asynchronous Validation State Management
When integrating VeeValidate v4 with a schema-based validation library like Zod or Yup, the composition API manages form state through useForm and useField. A specific challenge arises when combining schema-level constraints with independent asynchronous validation calls for individual fields.
The goal is to ensure that server-side validation results are synchronized with the schema's validation state without triggering redundant re-validations of the entire form object. There is uncertainty regarding how setFieldError interacts with a schema-driven validation cycle when the schema itself is still marked as valid.
- Does manually setting a field error override the schema's current validation state for that field?
- How is the
meta.validstate affected when an asynchronous server check fails but the Zod/Yup schema remains satisfied?
