Fs2 Stream.Compiler is not found (could not find implicit value Compiler[[x]F[x],G])

Question

I am trying to compile the stream, but somehow Compiler is not in scope, what context bound is needed for bringing it in scope?

import cats.Monad

def compilingStream[F[_]: Monad]: F[List[Int]] = {
  val stream: fs2.Stream[F, Int] = fs2.Stream.emit(1).covary[F]
  stream.head.compile.toList
}


error: could not find implicit value for parameter compiler: fs2.Stream.Compiler[[x]F[x],G]
         stream.head.compile.toList
                     ^

Fs2 Stream#compile now requires a Sync[F] (see this):

  import cats.effect.Sync

  def compilingStream[F[_]: Sync]: F[List[Int]] = {
    val stream: fs2.Stream[F, Int] = fs2.Stream.emit(1).covary[F]
    stream.head.compile.toList
  }

This is communicated by the library maintainer:

fs2 Stream#compile now requires a Sync[F]. Even on completely pure streams. Because of resource management. Sad. Panda.
