Description

Using the latest fs2 version 3.7.0 and an effect type that includes cats.data.EitherT, an error in the effect is not preserved when using fs2.io.readOutputStream. Possibly related to #2821

Minimized reproduction:

https://scastie.scala-lang.org/mrdziuban/qLvScG5BSWiLsXlhB5pJYg/2

import cats.data.EitherT
import cats.effect.IO
import cats.effect.unsafe.implicits.global

type Eff[A] = EitherT[IO, String, A]

fs2.io.readOutputStream[Eff](1024)(_ => EitherT.left(IO.pure("error")))
  .compile
  .drain
  .value
  .unsafeRunSync()
// Right(())

Research direction

Start with the minimized Scala reproduction and the fs2.io.readOutputStream entry point, then trace how the EitherT effect is compiled and drained. Verify the behavior against the reproduction: the Left("error") result should be preserved instead of producing Right(()).
