+        This is a breaking change that removes a function that is really not

+      hash: 1dcbed263d56f317512929073fb5cd65c2dc8129
+      body: |
+        Move Effect type to internal implementation detail and introduce
+        IO<T> as the new public return type for job handlers that need
+        async operations. The IO type provides the same functionality
+        with a more intuitive interface that hides the complexity of
+        effect composition.

+      hash: 643d3b5a36c9444ce1e6bc239dddf1edb023faa7
+      body: >
+        - Remove Pointer<T> type alias from src/extract/view.rs
+
+        - Update all Pointer references in documentation to use View<Option<T>>
+
+        - Convert all Pointer tests to equivalent View<Option<T>> tests
+
+        - Update type aliases (Create<T>, Delete<T>, Any<T>) to use
+        View<Option<T>>
+
+        - Fix imports and test functions that referenced Pointer<T>
+
+        - Update crate-level documentation and examples
+
+
+        This simplifies the API by removing the type alias and making nullable
+
+        value handling more explicit through View<Option<T>>.
