+# 1.0.0-beta.25 User Project Conformance Matrix
+
+## Scope
+
+`1.0.0-beta.25` is a tooling/conformance evidence slice for ordinary
+project and workspace usage. It adds a deterministic user-project conformance
+matrix over the existing checked examples under `examples/projects/` and
+`examples/workspaces/`.
+
+The matrix is stable-readiness evidence for the beta toolchain. It records
+which existing user-shaped example projects and workspaces are expected to
+pass `glagol check`, `glagol test --list`, and stable `glagol test` execution
+through ordinary Glagol entry points.
+
+At release time the matrix covers all 43 top-level fixture roots with
+`slovo.toml` under those inventories and 655 discovered tests. Environment
+fixtures run with deterministic in-test environment values so host shell state
+does not decide the result.
+
+This release changes tooling evidence only. It does not change the Slovo
+source language, typed core, runtime behavior, standard-library helper
+surface, compiler-known runtime names, package-manager behavior, package graph
+semantics, registry behavior, lockfile behavior, semver behavior, ABI/layout
+policy, stable schema policy, or performance policy.
+
+## Contract
+
+The conformance matrix is deterministic and repository-local:
+
+- inputs are every top-level `slovo.toml` fixture under the existing
+  `examples/projects/` and `examples/workspaces/` directories
+- entries are sorted by stable repository-relative path
+- each entry names the example kind, path, and ordinary project/workspace
+  test count covered by the matrix
+- fixture inventory drift must fail the focused matrix test until the matrix
+  and release evidence are updated deliberately
+- generated evidence must not depend on wall-clock time, host-specific
+  absolute paths, random ordering, or network access
+- matrix output is beta readiness evidence, not a frozen public schema
+
+The matrix is intended to answer whether normal beta users can exercise the
+current example projects and workspaces through the documented toolchain. It
+does not promote new language forms, new standard-library helpers, new runtime
+capabilities, new package manager behavior, or new compatibility guarantees.
+
+## Non-Scope
+
+This scope does not add:
+
+- source-language syntax or semantics
+- typed-core changes
+- standard-library helpers or stdlib behavior changes
+- compiler-known `std.*` runtime names
+- runtime behavior or runtime C capabilities
+- package manager behavior
+- remote registry behavior
+- lockfiles
+- semantic-version solving
+- package publishing
+- optional, dev, target, or feature-gated dependencies
+- stable package ABI/layout
+- stable artifact-manifest, Markdown, JSON, or conformance-matrix schema
+  guarantees
+- performance thresholds, performance claims, or timing publication
+- LSP/watch, SARIF, daemon, coverage, retry, tag/group, or event-stream
+  protocols
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- README names `1.0.0-beta.25` as the current release and describes the
+  user-project conformance matrix as tooling/readiness evidence only.
+- Language and compiler release notes describe beta25 as a
+  tooling/conformance evidence slice over existing `examples/projects/` and
+  `examples/workspaces/`.
+- Language and compiler roadmaps record beta25 as the current
+  stable-readiness evidence slice while keeping language, stdlib, runtime,
+  package-manager, stable-schema, and performance work deferred.
+- The post-beta roadmap records beta25 under tooling/release hardening.
+- Glagol is versioned as `1.0.0-beta.25`.
+- `compiler/tests/user_project_conformance_beta25.rs` covers all 43 top-level
+  project/workspace fixture roots and 655 discovered tests.
+- Fixture inventory drift is checked against discovered top-level
+  `slovo.toml` roots.
+- `scripts/release-gate.sh` runs the focused beta25 matrix test.
+- No compiler, runtime, standard-library, package-manager, registry, lockfile,
+  semver, ABI/layout, stable-schema, or performance claim is introduced by
+  the documentation.

+# Beta25 Release Review
+
+Verdict: PASS.
+
+## Findings
+
+No blocking or non-blocking findings in the re-reviewed scope.
+
+The prior blocking finding is resolved. `compiler/tests/user_project_conformance_beta25.rs` now covers all 43 top-level fixture roots currently discovered under `examples/projects/` and `examples/workspaces/`: 41 project fixtures plus 2 workspace fixtures. The test also asserts the matrix length, total discovered-test count, sorted path order, and exact inventory completeness against discovered top-level `slovo.toml` fixture roots.
+
+## Acceptance Checklist
+
+- PASS: The conformance matrix covers every current top-level `slovo.toml` fixture root under `examples/projects/` and `examples/workspaces/`.
+- PASS: `assert_matrix_inventory()` asserts the 43-root count, 655 discovered tests, sorted repository-relative path order, exact discovered fixture inventory, and the full expected path/test/run matrix.
+- PASS: The test runs `glagol check`, `glagol test --list`, and stable `glagol test` for every matrix entry.
+- PASS: Deterministic env fixture handling is wired through `configure_conformance_env()`: expected env variables are set to stable values and intentionally-missing env variables are removed before each Glagol command.
+- PASS: `scripts/release-gate.sh` still runs `cargo test --test user_project_conformance_beta25`.
+- PASS: `compiler/Cargo.toml` and `compiler/Cargo.lock` both version `glagol` as `1.0.0-beta.25`.
+- PASS: README, release notes, roadmaps, and the beta25 matrix doc continue to frame the release as tooling/conformance evidence without claiming language, runtime, stdlib, package-manager, stable-schema, ABI/layout, or performance changes.
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+Ran:
+
+```bash
+git status --short
+git diff --stat
+sed -n '1,620p' compiler/tests/user_project_conformance_beta25.rs
+find examples/projects -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name slovo.toml -printf '%h\n'
+find examples/workspaces -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name slovo.toml -printf '%h\n'
+find examples/projects -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name slovo.toml -printf '.' | wc -c
+find examples/workspaces -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name slovo.toml -printf '.' | wc -c
+rg -n "assert_eq!\(MATRIX\.len\(\), 43|discover_fixture_paths|configure_conformance_env|GLAGOL_STD_IMPORT_ENV_ALPHA_PRESENT|GLAGOL_STD_LAYOUT_LOCAL_ENV_ALPHA_PRESENT" compiler/tests/user_project_conformance_beta25.rs
+git diff --check
+cargo fmt --check
+cargo test --test user_project_conformance_beta25
+```
+
+Results:
+
+- `git diff --check`: PASS.
+- `cargo fmt --check`: PASS.
+- `cargo test --test user_project_conformance_beta25`: PASS, 1 test passed.
+- Fixture inventory counts: 41 top-level project roots and 2 top-level workspace roots.
+- Matrix inventory assertion: covers 43 roots and 655 discovered tests.
+
+## Residual Risks
+
+No release-blocking residual risks remain for this slice.
+
+## Final Gate Disposition
+
+The controller reran the full release gate after staging the generated
+`docs/language/STDLIB_API.md` beta25 catalog update:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-gate.sh
+```
+
+Result: PASS. The gate reported:
+
+```text
+release gate passed: docs, stdlib API catalog, fmt, tests, promotion, binary, and LLVM smoke checks completed
+```

+### Summary
+
+The beta.25 compiler/tooling slice adds deterministic stable-readiness
+evidence for ordinary project and workspace usage without changing the
+language, runtime, stdlib, or package manager model:
+
+- Add a user-project conformance matrix over all 43 top-level fixture roots
+  under existing `examples/projects/` and `examples/workspaces/`, covering
+  655 discovered tests.
+- Keep matrix inputs repository-local and deterministically sorted by
+  repository-relative path.
+- Record ordinary `check`, `test --list`, and stable `test` behavior for each
+  existing example in the matrix.
+- Treat matrix output as beta tooling evidence rather than a stable public
+  schema.
+
+### Explicit Deferrals
+
+This release does not implement source-language change, standard-library
+helper change, runtime behavior change, compiler-known `std.*` runtime names,
+package manager behavior, remote registries, lockfiles, semantic-version
+solving, package publishing, optional/dev/target dependencies, stable
+artifact-manifest schema guarantees, stable Markdown schemas, stable
+conformance-matrix schema guarantees, LSP/watch/SARIF/daemon protocols, stable

 ## Stability Tiers
 
 - `beta-supported`: exported from `lib/std` and covered by source-search, promotion, or facade gates in the current beta line.
-- `experimental`: exported from `lib/std` in `1.0.0-beta.24`, but still has beta caveats around host behavior, resource handles, or API shape.
+- `experimental`: exported from `lib/std` in `1.0.0-beta.25`, but still has beta caveats around host behavior, resource handles, or API shape.
 - `internal`: helper names that are not exported from their module; they are intentionally omitted from this catalog.
 
 The catalog is a beta API discovery aid, not a stable `1.0.0` standard-library freeze.
