 /**
- * The `SchemaParser` module turns schemas into reusable runtime operations for
- * constructing, validating, decoding, and encoding values. It is the execution
- * layer behind a schema's AST: parsers walk the schema structure, apply
- * transformations, honor parse options, run checks, and report failures as
- * `SchemaIssue.Issue` values.
- *
- * Use this module when you need a parser with a specific result shape:
- * `Effect` for effectful parsing and service requirements, `Promise` for
- * JavaScript interop, `Exit` or `Result` when failures should stay in data,
- * `Option` for yes/no validation, and synchronous helpers when throwing is the
- * desired boundary.
- *
- * Decoding reads from the encoded/input side of a schema into its decoded
- * `Type`, while encoding runs the schema in the opposite direction. The
- * `make*` helpers construct decoded values and apply constructor defaults before
- * validation. Parse options supplied when a parser is created are merged with
- * options supplied at call time, and schema-level parse annotations can further
- * refine behavior.
+ * Build reusable runtime parsers from Effect schemas.
+ *
+ * `SchemaParser` is the execution layer behind schema ASTs. It walks schema
+ * structure, applies transformations, merges parse options, runs checks, and
+ * reports failures as `SchemaIssue.Issue` values while exposing adapters for
+ * the result shape a boundary needs.
+ *
+ * **Mental model**
+ *
+ * - A schema has a decoded `Type` side and an `Encoded` side.
+ * - Decoders read `Encoded` or `unknown` input and produce `Type`.
+ * - Encoders read `Type` or `unknown` input and produce `Encoded`.
+ * - Maker helpers construct decoded `Type` values and apply constructor
+ *   defaults before validation.
+ * - The same underlying parser can be adapted to `Effect`, `Promise`, `Exit`,
+ *   `Result`, `Option`, a throwing synchronous function, or a type guard.
+ *
+ * **Common tasks**
+ *
+ * - Construct decoded values: {@link make}, {@link makeEffect},
+ *   {@link makeOption}
+ * - Decode untrusted boundary input: {@link decodeUnknownEffect},
+ *   {@link decodeUnknownSync}, {@link decodeUnknownResult}
+ * - Decode already typed encoded input: {@link decodeEffect},
+ *   {@link decodeSync}
+ * - Encode values back to their encoded representation:
+ *   {@link encodeEffect}, {@link encodeSync}, {@link encodeUnknownEffect}
+ * - Check values without collecting issue details: {@link is}, {@link asserts}
+ * - Build directly from an AST: {@link run}
+ *
+ * **Gotchas**
+ *
+ * - `decodeUnknown*` accepts untyped input; `decode*` variants expect the
+ *   schema's `Encoded` type.
+ * - `encodeUnknown*` accepts untyped input; `encode*` variants expect the
+ *   schema's decoded `Type`.
+ * - Synchronous adapters cannot run asynchronous parsing work. Use `Effect`
+ *   adapters when transformations require services or asynchronous effects.
+ * - Parse options supplied when a parser is created are merged with options
+ *   supplied at call time, and schema-level parse annotations can further
+ *   refine behavior.
