PHOENIX LIVE VIEW TIGHTENS ASYNC DOCS AS ECTO BUMPS DECIMAL

Phoenix Live View patched critical documentation gaps in assign_async while Ecto modernizes its decimal dependency.

Phoenix Live View caught and fixed misleading return type documentation for assign_async [1], a core async feature developers rely on for real-time updates. The same release cycle saw typo corrections across the framework's docs [2], part of broader quality-of-life polish hitting the ecosystem. Over in Ecto, the team bumped decimal to its latest version [3], cleaning up the dependency tree ahead of what looks like a maintenance cycle. Ecto also fixed CI failures [5] and improved documentation linking to SQL guides [4]. The quiet work across all three desks points to steady maintenance rather than breaking changes, making this a good window for upgrades if you've been holding back.
