 * SimpleErrorReporter collects validation error messages as an array of objects.

 * - message: Human-readable error message
 * - field: The field path where validation failed
 * - rule: The validation rule that failed
 * - index: Array index (for array element errors)
 * - meta: Additional error metadata
 *
 * @example
 * const reporter = new SimpleErrorReporter()
 * // After validation errors are reported:
 * console.log(reporter.errors)
 * // [{ message: "Required", field: "email", rule: "required" }]
