/**
 * Zod schema for validating descriptor map values.
 *
 * This schema ensures that a descriptor map is an object with the following properties:
 * - id: an InputDescriptorId
 * - format: a string
 * - path: a JSONPath
 * - path_nested: an optional nested descriptor map
 *
 * @type {z.ZodType<DescriptorMapJSON>}
 *
 * @example
 * // Valid usage
 * descriptorMapSchema.parse({
 *  id: '123',
 *  format: 'json',
 *  path: '$.abc123',
 *  path_nested: {
 *   id: '456',
 *   format: 'json',
 *   path: '$.def456'
 * }
 * }); // Returns { id: '123', format: 'json', path: '$.abc123', path_nested: { id: '456', format: 'json', path: '$.def456' } }
 *
 * // Invalid usage (will throw ZodError)
 * descriptorMapSchema.parse({
 *  id: '123',
 *  format: 'json',
 *  path: '$.abc123',
 *  path_nested: {
 *   id: '456',
 *   format: 'json',
 *   path: 'def456'
 * }
 * }); // Throws error: Invalid JSONPath
 *
 * @throws {z.ZodError} Throws a ZodError if the input fails validation
