+# 1.0.0-beta.10 Developer Experience API Discovery
+
+Status: release scope for `1.0.0-beta.10`.
+
+`1.0.0-beta.10` is a tooling/docs slice on top of the beta.8 concrete alias
+foundation and beta.9 collection alias unification work. It improves API
+discovery for the existing source-authored standard library and adds
+editor-facing source metadata without adding new source-language execution
+semantics, compiler-known runtime names, or runtime helpers.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Upgrade `scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.js` so the generated
+  `docs/language/STDLIB_API.md` catalog lists exact exported helper
+  signatures, not only helper names.
+- Parse each `lib/std/*.slo` module, collect module-local `(type ...)`
+  aliases, and normalize those aliases recursively in public helper
+  signatures.
+- Verify exported helper names have matching `(fn ...)` forms.
+- Omit non-exported helper functions and `(type ...)` aliases from the public
+  catalog.
+- Regenerate `docs/language/STDLIB_API.md`.
+- Add `glagol symbols <file.slo|project|workspace>` for deterministic
+  `slovo.symbols` S-expression metadata over modules, imports, exports,
+  aliases, structs, enums, functions, tests, spans/ranges, and workspace
+  package names.
+- Update README, language docs, compiler docs, and the post-beta roadmap to
+  describe beta API discovery clearly.
+
+## Public Contract
+
+The generated catalog is a beta discovery aid for the current `lib/std`
+surface. Public signatures show concrete types such as `(vec i32)`,
+`(option string)`, and `(result u64 i32)` instead of module-local alias names
+such as `VecI32`, `OptionString`, or `ResultU64`.
+
+The catalog remains generated from source and is not a hand-maintained API
+freeze. It can help reviewers see current helper signatures, but it does not
+make those helpers stable `1.0.0` standard-library APIs.
+
+The `symbols` command is an editor-integration building block, not an LSP
+server. Its output is deterministic machine-readable S-expression text and
+uses the beta10 `slovo.symbols` schema label.
+
+## Explicit Non-Scope
+
+- no executable generics
+- no generic aliases or parameterized aliases
+- no maps or sets
+- no traits, inference, monomorphization, or iterators
+- no new compiler-known runtime names
+- no runtime helper or ABI/layout changes
+- no LSP server, watch mode, SARIF, or daemon protocol
+- no stable `1.0.0` standard-library freeze
+
+## Checks
+
+Focused checks for this slice:
+
+- `node scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.js`
+- `cargo test --test symbols_beta10`
+- `git diff --check -- scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.js docs/language/STDLIB_API.md compiler/src/main.rs compiler/src/symbols.rs compiler/tests/symbols_beta10.rs README.md docs/language/SPEC-v1.md docs/language/ROADMAP.md docs/language/RELEASE_NOTES.md docs/compiler/ROADMAP.md docs/compiler/RELEASE_NOTES.md docs/POST_BETA_ROADMAP.md .llm/BETA_10_DEVELOPER_EXPERIENCE_API_DISCOVERY.md`

+# 1.0.0-beta.10 Release Review
+
+Status: ready for publication after the controller release gate.
+
+## Verdict
+
+No blocking issues found after integrating the stdlib API catalog worker and
+the compiler symbol-metadata worker.
+
+## Scope Checked
+
+- `docs/language/STDLIB_API.md` now lists exact exported `lib/std` helper
+  signatures instead of helper names only.
+- `scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.js` verifies exported helpers have matching
+  `(fn ...)` forms, omits non-exported helpers and aliases, and normalizes
+  module-local concrete aliases in public signatures.
+- `glagol symbols <file.slo|project|workspace>` emits deterministic
+  `slovo.symbols` metadata for modules, imports, exports, aliases, structs,
+  enums, functions, tests, spans/ranges, and workspace package labels.
+- README, roadmaps, release notes, specification text, whitepapers, and PDFs
+  describe beta10 as tooling/API-discovery work only.
+- Docs do not claim executable generics, maps, sets, new runtime helpers,
+  stable ABI/layout, LSP/watch protocols, or a stable stdlib API freeze.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `node scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.js`
+- `cargo fmt --check`
+- `cargo check`
+- `cargo test --test symbols_beta10`
+- `cargo test --test dx_v1_7`
+- `cargo test --test cli_v1_1`
+- `cargo test --test promotion_gate`
+- `MD_TO_PDF_PACKAGE=<local md-to-pdf package path> ./scripts/render-doc-pdfs.sh`
+- `git diff --check`
+- `./scripts/release-gate.sh`
+
+Final full `./scripts/release-gate.sh` result: passed docs, generated stdlib
+API catalog consistency, private-publication text checks, formatter checks, the
+full cargo test suite, ignored promotion checks, binary smoke, and LLVM smoke.
+
+## Residual Risk
+
+The `symbols` command is a stable-shaped beta metadata export, not a complete
+editor protocol. Future editor work still needs a separate LSP/watch contract,
+diagnostic stability policy, local package API docs, and compatibility tests
+before claiming full editor integration.

+The `1.0.0-beta.10` release upgrades the generated standard-library API
+catalog from exported helper names to exact exported helper signatures. The
+renderer verifies that every exported helper has a matching `(fn ...)` form,
+normalizes module-local concrete aliases from the public signatures, omits

+- upgrade the generated `lib/std` API catalog from exported names to exact

+- normalize module-local beta.8/beta.9 concrete aliases in public signatures
+  so local aliases do not leak into docs
+- validate that exported helpers have matching `(fn ...)` forms

 - machine-readable diagnostics stability policy
 
+Released in `1.0.0-beta.10`: `docs/language/STDLIB_API.md` now lists exact
+exported helper signatures from `lib/std/*.slo`, and the renderer validates
+exported helper forms while normalizing module-local aliases to concrete
+public types. `glagol symbols <file.slo|project|workspace>` now emits
+deterministic `slovo.symbols` metadata for editor integrations without
+starting an LSP server. This is beta API discovery only; it does not add

+and a machine-readable diagnostics stability policy remain deferred.
