Generative recommendation is gaining traction in production, retrieving items by generating their identifiers one token at a time. The generated sequences must identify relevant catalog items, so constrained decoding couples relevance scoring with validity filtering. Because most possible sequences are invalid, scoring before filtering wastes computation on candidates that will be discarded. Our evaluation shows that filtering first can avoid this work with negligible impact on recommendation quality. We present ZeroGR, a filtering-first constrained decoding system for generative recommendation. ZeroGR uses a step-sliced filtering index to reduce GPU memory use by tailoring data representations to each decoding step. Its execution engine adopts shared-slot execution to accelerate data exchange across stages and hybrid projection to adapt computation to workload patterns, thereby reducing execution overhead. During index refreshes, ZeroGR applies layout-guided streaming construction to speed up updates and limit serving interference. Extensive evaluation shows that ZeroGR accelerates the filtering and scoring pipeline by up to $9.9\times$ over representative baselines while reducing GPU index memory use and accelerating index reconstruction.
