Release notes: 2026-05-25 — linguist-wp2-samples¶

Status: Ready for review
Repo: li-langverse/lic
PR: (branch feat/linguist-wp2-samples)
PH / REQ: N/A (ecosystem tooling / linguist classifier prep)
Author: agent

Summary (one sentence)¶

Stage ten representative .li files under contrib/linguist-samples/Li/ with license manifest and copy instructions for a future GitHub Linguist samples/Li/ PR (no linguist fork push from lic).

Agent continuation (required)¶

Read: contrib/linguist-samples/README.md, contrib/linguist-samples/SAMPLES_LICENSES.md
Run: wc -l contrib/linguist-samples/Li/*.li (expect 10 files, ≥295 total lines)
Then: WP6 — rsync into Julian's linguist fork samples/Li/, bundle exec rake samples, open upstream linguist PR
Blocked on: human (Julian) for linguist fork PR; none for lic merge after review

Changed (specific)¶

Area	What	Evidence
Staging	`contrib/linguist-samples/Li/` — 10 verbatim `.li` copies (contracts, math, collections, tetris example, studio smoke)	`wc -l contrib/linguist-samples/Li/*.li`
Docs	`contrib/linguist-samples/README.md` — WP6 `rsync` path, no tutorial-only rule	path
Licenses	`contrib/linguist-samples/SAMPLES_LICENSES.md` — MIT, commit `c8e4b41c`, source paths	path

Not changed (scope fence)¶

github-linguist/linguist — no PR, no push from this repo
Li grammar / compiler — samples are read-only copies
.gitattributes / linguist heuristics in lic — not in this slice

Breaking changes¶

None.

Security¶

N/A — documentation and test-source copies only; no runtime or trusted-surface change.

Performance¶

N/A — no benchmark or codegen impact.

Downstream¶

Repo	Action
linguist (Julian fork)	WP6: copy `contrib/linguist-samples/Li/` → `samples/Li/` per README
