# Background

Currently, validation warnings about zod schema violations are shown to
all users when loading workflows. These warnings appear in a dialog that
users must dismiss, and they reappear every time the workflow is
reloaded.

## User Pain Points

- Many users (especially from the Chinese community) are asking how to
disable these alerts
- The zod schema information is too technical for end users
- Users don't understand what action they should take when seeing the
warning
- The warnings cannot be permanently dismissed - they reappear every
time
- The warnings don't actually prevent workflow execution

## Problem Statement

The validation warning just means the serialized workflow doesn't
conform to the official schema. Sometimes that makes the workflow
unusable; sometimes it still runs fine. While these checks have
historically surfaced real issues and are important for maintaining
static types internally, the current UX isn't helpful to regular users.
