# 1.0.0-beta.9 Release Review

Status: ready for publication after the controller release gate.

## Verdict

No blocking issues found after integrating the Slovo stdlib/docs worker and
the Glagol compiler/test worker.

## Scope Checked

- `lib/std/vec_i32.slo`, `lib/std/vec_i64.slo`, `lib/std/vec_f64.slo`,
  `lib/std/vec_bool.slo`, `lib/std/vec_string.slo`, `lib/std/option.slo`, and
  `lib/std/result.slo` now use module-local concrete aliases without exporting
  alias names.
- Compiler diagnostics reserve generic functions, parameterized aliases,
  uppercase single-letter generic type parameters in unsupported positions,
  map/set type forms, and future generic stdlib calls.
- Formatter diagnostics mirror the compiler rejection path for reserved
  generic/map/set syntax.
- Docs and whitepapers describe beta9 as alias-backed collection cleanup and
  diagnostic reservation only. They do not claim executable generics, maps,
  sets, traits, inference, monomorphization, iterators, stable ABI/layout, or a
  stable stdlib API freeze.

## Verification

- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo test --test diagnostics_contract current_negative_cases_match_machine_diagnostic_snapshots`
- `cargo test --test formatter formatter_re`
- `cargo test --test project_mode`
- `cargo test --test concrete_type_aliases_beta`
- `cargo test --test promotion_gate`
- `cargo test standard_`
- `./scripts/render-stdlib-api-doc.sh`
- `./scripts/render-doc-pdfs.sh`
- `git diff --check`
- `./scripts/release-gate.sh`

Final gate result: passed. The release gate completed docs, generated stdlib
API catalog, formatter, default tests, ignored promotion checks, binary smoke,
and LLVM smoke checks.

## Residual Risk

Beta9 intentionally reserves generics without implementing them. Future
generic work still needs typed-core representation, monomorphization policy,
project/import semantics, formatter stability, stdlib migration rules, and
explicit compatibility gates before any executable generic collection surface
is promoted.
