Code Review
This pull request removes the schema-utils dependency to improve performance by eliminating runtime option validation, relying instead on TypeScript's static type checking. The changes are consistent across the codebase. I have one suggestion regarding maintainability: since the options.json schema file is still exposed to consumers, there's a risk of it diverging from the TypeScript types over time. I've recommended adding a test to ensure the JSON schema and the TypeScript types remain synchronized, which would benefit all consumers of the library.

src/server.ts (191-194)
Removing runtime validation shifts the responsibility of providing correct options to the consumer, relying on TypeScript for static verification. While this improves performance, a potential maintainability issue arises because options.json is still exported for consumers via Server.schema. This file can now easily get out of sync with the TypeScript types (DevServer / Configuration), which are the new source of truth.
To prevent this schema drift, I suggest adding a test to ensure options.json and the TypeScript types remain consistent. A tool like typescript-json-schema could generate a schema from the types at test time, which can then be compared against the committed options.json. This would ensure a reliable contract for all consumers, whether they use TypeScript or JavaScript.

Pull request overview
This pull request removes the schema-utils dependency and its runtime validation in favor of relying solely on TypeScript's compile-time type checking. The change removes the validate() call from the Server constructor that was performing runtime options validation against a JSON schema.
Changes:
- Removed
schema-utilsdependency from package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml - Removed runtime validation call from Server constructor
- Removed Schema type export from types.ts
- Updated schema getter to return untyped schema object

- The static schema getter is still exposed and returns the JSON schema, but the schema is no longer used internally for validation. This creates inconsistency:
- External consumers (like webpack CLI, documentation generators, or validation tools) may depend on this schema and expect it to be synchronized with actual validation behavior
- The schema file (options.json) is still maintained but not validated against
Consider:
- If external tools rely on this schema, document that it's provided for external use only
- If no external consumers exist, consider removing the schema getter and the unused schema import
- If keeping the schema for documentation purposes, add a comment explaining its purpose

The schema validation was removed, use TypeScript type checking instead.
