10 foundation§
The low-level hosted language is presented as a public alpha with a documented release workflow.
20 delivered surface§
Static checks, project workflow, VM disassembly and tracing, binary/buffer tooling, test runner, token/AST inspection, benchmark command and packaged documentation are brought together as the public product surface.
30 evidence reading§
The release preserves the measured v1.9.2 benchmark claim with an explicit limitation: it applies to the recorded suite and machine, not every Python workload.
40 boundary · nonclaim§
The alpha label matters. Syntax, standard-library contracts and packaging could still change; benchmark evidence is not native-code or universal-performance evidence.
