🧨 Special cases & notes
- AT: 4 digits with no leading 0.
- IE: Alphanumeric Eircode (includes prefixes like D6W); not all formats are contiguous.
- UK & territories (JE, GG, IM): follow UK-style pattern with their own prefixes.
- AE: postal code can be empty; do not enforce if the country is U.A.E.
- AR: allow “CPA” (letter + 4 digits + 3 letters) and old CP (4 digits).
- CR: multiple notations coexist (4, 5, or 3-4 with hyphen).
- CO / BO: not officially standardized; use extended numeric format or allow empty (BO).
⚠️ Important: Always validate on both front-end and back-end to avoid inconsistencies.
