Contributions summary:Terry primarily focused on implementing and improving text decoding and encoding functionalities within the ZIO Streams library. They refactored existing components, reimplementing text decoders as ZPipelines and implementing new decoders such as `utfDecode`, `iso_8859_1Decode`, and others. The user's contributions included adding unit tests and fixing bugs related to text codecs, ensuring data integrity, and enhanced reliability of the stream processing capabilities. Furthermore, they added the `summarized` combinator, adding functionality for measuring the duration of operations.
