StringFilterFields typealias [source] ¶ typealias [source] ¶ StringFilterFields: A field's criteria accept its decoded shape as well as the text tmux sends: where({ active: true }) and where({ active: "1" }) are the same query, and serialize identically. A null criterion matches any wire value that the field decoder treats as absent or invalid, rather than one particular wire spelling.

The text side exists because the wire does. encodeFormatValue lowers every criterion to tmux's text before a query is serialized, and WhereDocumentV1 types both what a caller writes and what decodeWhereDocument gives back — so a type that refused text would be lying about the documents this library's own encoder produces. That is the difference from an ORM, whose query AST never round-trips through a type the caller also authors.
Raw is therefore not a taste. "0" | "1" is the exact wire domain for a flag, while an integer uses ${bigint} intersected with a decimal prefix. That rules out fractions, exponents, radix prefixes, leading zeroes, -0, NaN , and prose. TypeScript cannot bound an integer's magnitude, so the query validator also requires safe range at runtime. format_values.test.ts holds the layers in step.
The substring operations stay string deliberately: contains asks about the characters tmux sent, and a numeric field's text has characters like any other.
