 Release notes:
 
 Unreleased
+    - test: add SideEffects module to TaskSeq.OfXXX.Tests.fs documenting re-iteration semantics (ofSeq re-evaluates source, ofTaskArray re-awaits cached tasks)
     - adds TaskSeq.foldWhile and TaskSeq.foldWhileAsync: fold with early termination via a (state, element) -> bool predicate (takeWhile-style, exclusive). When the predicate returns false, iteration halts without folding that element; no further elements are enumerated.
     - feat: add `TaskSeq.toChannelAsync` and `TaskSeq.ofChannel` for bidirectional `System.Threading.Channels` integration, closing #415
     - eng: update PackageValidationBaselineVersion from 0.4.0 to 1.1.1 to enforce binary compatibility checks against the current stable release
