+
+Hi Effecters!
+
+Welcome back to This Week In Effect (**TWIE**) - your weekly update of the latest developments in the Effect community and ecosystem.
+
+Effect is a powerful TypeScript library that helps developers build complex, synchronous, and asynchronous programs. One key feature that sets Effect apart is how it leverages structured concurrency to provide features such as async cancellation and safe resource management, making it easier to build robust, scalable, and efficient programs.
+
+To get started, below you’ll find links to our documentation and our guide for installing Effect. Enjoy!

+## Technology
+
+### Effect v4 Beta updates
+
+This week, Effect v4 Beta got a major push on documentation quality, new stream and CLI primitives, and several notable API refinements — here are the most notable changes that landed in `effect-smol`.
+ 
+- **Documentation overhaul**: Standardized JSDoc example imports across the entire codebase, normalized category tags, validated JSDoc links in the new `standard-jsdoc` lint rule, vetted `@since` tags between v3 and v4, and improved example titles and generated indexes. A new `standard-jsdoc` ESLint rule is now enabled across the library.
+
+- **New Stream APIs**: Added `Stream.broadcastN` for broadcasting to N downstream consumers, added `Schedule.tap` for side-effecting on schedule steps, and fixed `Channel.decodeText` to correctly handle UTF-8 chunk boundaries.
+
+- **CLI additions**: Added `Command.withHidden` to hide subcommands from help output, added a hidden flag primitive, and used a predicate for `Argument.variadic` validation.
+
+- **Schema changes**: Changed `Schema.asserts` and `SchemaParser.asserts` to assert a value directly with `asserts(schema, input)`, removing `Schema.Codec.ToAsserts`. Also moved previous API names to migration maps for smoother upgrading.
+
+- **Platform**: Added a `Crypto` service to `@effect/platform`, exposing a cross-platform cryptography API.
+
+- **Model**: Renamed `Model.Generated` to `Model.GeneratedByDb` for clarity on database-generated fields.
+
+- **Bug fixes**: Fixed `TestClock` layer Scope requirement, fixed IndexedDB bulk writes in transactions, fixed `RpcWorker` Protocol service key, fixed stream scoped pulls to correctly provide scope, fixed `Channel.decodeText` UTF-8 chunk boundary handling, and widened `OpenAIFile.expires_at` and `status_details` to accept `null`.
+
+- **SQL & Sharding**: Added support for `.mts` and `.mjs` SQL migration files, and added `availableShardGroups` to `ShardingConfig` to prevent advisory lock conflicts.
+
+You can follow the full changelog directly in the [effect-smol repository](https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect-smol).
+
+ 
+
+Here are all the technical changes from the past week.
+
+### Effect AI
+- [Fix(ai-amazon-bedrock): strip thinking from additionalModelRequestFields when using generateObject](https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/pull/6206) (Bug Fix)
+
+### Effect Workflow
+- [Fix(workflow): forward parent pointer when spawning a child with discard:true](https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect/pull/6241) (Bug Fix)
