Validating and Defaulting Environment Variables in Effect TypeScript

Hi.. Completely new to effect and am struggling with even a very basic validation.

I want to validate

process.env

process.env

and make

REDIS_HOST

REDIS_HOST

a string.. that defaults to

localhost

localhost

when the property is not provided, or is

''

''

.

None of the LLMs can seem to figure it out, either.
