# 1.0.0-beta.8 Release Review
|
|
|
|
Date: 2026-05-22
|
|
|
|
Scope: concrete type alias foundation.
|
|
|
|
## Verdict
|
|
|
|
The Slovo documentation and source-fixture side is coherent for a beta.8
|
|
concrete-alias slice. The contract is intentionally transparent: top-level
|
|
`(type Alias TargetType)` declarations name existing supported concrete target
|
|
types, normalize before backend/ABI decisions, and do not create runtime types,
|
|
hosted symbols, generic alias machinery, maps/sets, or cross-module alias
|
|
visibility.
|
|
|
|
## Review Notes
|
|
|
|
- The language spec defines syntax, resolution, formatter shape, diagnostics,
|
|
and explicit deferrals for concrete aliases.
|
|
- The public roadmap and stable-readiness notes place beta.8 between JSON data
|
|
interchange and generics/collection unification.
|
|
- `std/json.slo` uses `JsonText` and `JsonField` as local aliases only. The
|
|
helper export list remains unchanged.
|
|
- The explicit std-import and local JSON fixtures exercise local alias use
|
|
without importing, exporting, or re-exporting aliases.
|
|
- Glagol parser, checker, formatter, project import resolution, lowering
|
|
inspectors, diagnostics fixtures, and promotion inventory now carry the
|
|
matching implementation side.
|
|
- Reviewer findings were integrated: JSON fixtures use canonical alias spacing,
|
|
unsupported alias targets are rejected, alias/value name conflicts are
|
|
diagnosed, and alias export/import attempts produce explicit visibility
|
|
diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
- `cargo fmt --check`
|
|
- `cargo test --test diagnostics_contract current_negative_cases_match_machine_diagnostic_snapshots`
|
|
- `cargo test --test concrete_type_aliases_beta`
|
|
- `cargo test --test project_mode type_aliases_are_local_across_project_visibility`
|
|
- `cargo test --test lowering_inspector`
|
|
- `cargo test --test promotion_gate promotion_gate_artifacts_are_aligned`
|
|
- `cargo test --test standard_json_source_facade_alpha`
|
|
- `cargo test`
|
|
- `git diff --check`
|
|
|
|
## Remaining Deferred Work
|
|
|
|
- Generated documentation may still display source alias spelling. Runtime
|
|
behavior, checked lowering, backend layout, and cross-module typing use the
|
|
resolved concrete target.
|
|
- Any future generic alias, cross-module alias import/export, or re-export
|
|
design.
