# 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
```
