New schema — VA Form 22-1990n

Summary

This PR introduces a new JSON Schema (Draft-04) for VA Form 22-1990n — the Application for VA Education Benefits Under the National Call to Service (NCS) Program. The schema is defined in src/schemas/22-1990n/schema.js and covers the core data structures needed to validate form submissions.

Key highlights of the schema include:

• Shared definitions for common field types reused across properties:
  • ssn — 9-digit Social Security Number (no hyphens), enforced via regex pattern and min/maxLength
  • date — ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD), validated with both format: date and a regex pattern
  • phone — 10-digit US phone number (digits only), enforced via regex pattern and min/maxLength
  • postalCode — US ZIP code (5-digit format), with pattern validation
• additionalProperties: false is set at the root level to enforce strict property boundaries and prevent unexpected fields from passing validation
• Definitions are referenced throughout the schema using a buildDefinitionReference helper that generates $ref pointers to #/definitions/<referenceId>, keeping the schema DRY and consistent

Notes for reviewer

• Please ensure you have incremented the version in package.json
• Please add backend-review-group as a reviewer
• The ssn definition deliberately strips hyphens — consuming applications should ensure any formatted input (e.g., 123-45-6789) is normalized before submission
• The date definition applies both format: date and a regex pattern for defense-in-depth validation; confirm this is consistent with how other schemas in this repo handle date fields
• The phone definition accepts digits only with no formatting characters — frontend validation should handle stripping before submission
• Verify that all required top-level properties are explicitly listed in a required array, as this was not visible in the provided artifact excerpt
• Confirm that the postalCode pattern handles ZIP+4 format (XXXXX-XXXX) if needed by this form, or intentionally restricts to 5-digit only
