 ## Status
 
+`v1.0.1` — **packaging patch** over the frozen `v1.0.0` API: adds the vcpkg port and the Conan 2.x recipe (Phase 2 distribution, ADRs [0030](docs/adr/0030-vcpkg-port.md) / [0031](docs/adr/0031-conan-recipe.md)). The shipped library is byte-identical to `v1.0.0` — a `PATCH`, no API/ABI/behaviour change. Release notes: [`docs/releases/v1.0.1.md`](docs/releases/v1.0.1.md). The stable baseline it patches:
+
 `v1.0.0` — **the first stable release.** The public C ABI (`memory_pool_create` / `_alloc` / `_free` / `_destroy` plus the O(1) introspection accessors) and the C++ surface (`Pool`, `TypedPool<T>`, `PoolAllocator<T>`, `InstrumentedPool`, `PoolObserver`) are frozen under the SemVer 1.0 promise — no breaking change without a `2.0.0`. `v1.0.0` seals the feature set built across Milestones 0–6 — the O(1) implicit-free-list fixed-block pool with zero per-block metadata, the RAII / typed / STL-allocator C++ wrappers, compile-time-configurable thread safety, optional geometric dynamic growth, and opt-in observability — and adds the Milestone 7 polish: the published Doxygen API site (M7.1), the expanded usage / performance / compatibility README (M7.2), `find_package` install + pkg-config packaging (M7.4), and the patterns-catalogue (M7.5) and specification-compliance (M7.6, [ADR-0029](docs/adr/0029-spec-compliance-acceptance-audit.md)) acceptance audits. All fifteen Spec Coverage Map rows are ✅, re-verified end-to-end. Twenty-nine ADRs (0001–0029) record every decision; all eleven adopted design patterns are Implemented. Release notes for `v1.0.0` live in [`docs/releases/v1.0.0.md`](docs/releases/v1.0.0.md).

+
+- A maintenance **`PATCH`** cut by the maintainer's request, immediately after M7.9 merged: it bundles the M7.8 vcpkg port + M7.9 Conan recipe (the post-1.0 packaging additions) into a tagged release. **Chosen as `1.0.1`, not `1.1.0`,** because the shipped library is byte-identical to `v1.0.0` (only repository-side packaging metadata was added) and to keep the Milestone 8 close targeted at `v1.1.0`. `version.hpp` → `1.0.1`, `pool_smoke` asserts updated, `CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` rolled into `## [1.0.1] — 2026-06-14`, `docs/releases/v1.0.1.md` added, README badge/status refreshed. Not a numbered roadmap item — an ad-hoc patch release. After merge: agent tags `v1.0.1`, maintainer publishes. Next: Milestone 8 (i18n & governance → `v1.1.0`).

+# pbr-cpp-memory-pool v1.0.1 — packaging patch
+
+`v1.0.1` is a **packaging-only patch** over [`v1.0.0`](v1.0.0.md). It ships the two Phase-2 package-manager integrations that closed Milestone 7's stretch items. **The library itself is byte-identical to `v1.0.0`** — no source, API, ABI, or behaviour change; only repository-side packaging metadata was added. (That is why this is a `PATCH` rather than a `MINOR`, and why Milestone 8 still closes at `v1.1.0`.)
+
+## What's new
+
+### vcpkg port ([ADR-0030](../adr/0030-vcpkg-port.md))
+
+An in-repo overlay port under [`ports/pbr-memory-pool/`](../../ports/pbr-memory-pool/), pinned to the `v1.0.0` source tag by SHA512. It builds from source through the project's own CMake install rules ([ADR-0028](../adr/0028-install-and-packaging-layout.md)) and relocates the `find_package` config and pkg-config `.pc` into vcpkg's layout.
+
+```bash
+vcpkg install pbr-memory-pool --overlay-ports=ports
+```
+
+### Conan 2.x recipe ([ADR-0031](../adr/0031-conan-recipe.md))
+
+A recipe under [`conan/`](../../conan/) (with a ConanCenter-style `test_package/`), pinned to the `v1.0.0` source tag by SHA256. It builds through the same install rules and re-exposes the target via Conan's generators.
+
+```bash
+conan create conan/     # then depend on pbr-memory-pool/1.0.1
+```
+
+Both integrations yield the identical imported target as every other consumption mode:
+
+```cmake
+find_package(pbr_memory_pool CONFIG REQUIRED)
+target_link_libraries(my_app PRIVATE pbr::memory_pool)
+```
+
+Registry publication (microsoft/vcpkg, ConanCenter / self-hosted) is **deferred** — both port files are written to upstream conventions and the submission steps are documented in [`ports/README.md`](../../ports/README.md) and [`conan/README.md`](../../conan/README.md).
+
+## Spec Coverage Map
+
+**No change** — packaging adds no spec requirement. All fifteen rows remain ✅ (accepted in [ADR-0029](../adr/0029-spec-compliance-acceptance-audit.md) at `v1.0.0`).
+
+## Verifying the release
+
+Each platform tarball is the same complete `cmake --install` tree as `v1.0.0` (full headers + static archive + CMake package config + pkg-config `.pc`). SHA-256 checksums are in `SHA256SUMS`:
+
+```bash
+sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS
+```
