/**
 * DrainableWorker - A queue-based worker that exposes a `drain()` effect.

 * a signal that resolves when the queue is empty **and** the current item
 * has finished processing. This lets tests replace timing-sensitive
 * `Effect.sleep` calls with deterministic `drain()`.

/**
 * Create a drainable worker that processes items from an unbounded queue.

 * The worker is forked into the current scope and will be interrupted when
 * the scope closes. A finalizer shuts down the queue and drops queued items,
 * so `drain` resolves after the scope closes instead of waiting on them.
 *
 * An item that fails or dies is logged and skipped; the worker keeps
 * processing later items and `drain` still resolves.

 * @param process - The effect to run for each queued item.
 * @returns A `DrainableWorker` with `enqueue` and `drain`.
