 - Parse with `json.Decoder` token by token and `UseNumber()`, building our own tree: objects keep key order (slice of key/value pairs), numbers keep their original text.
 - Write in the device's layout: one key or value per line, no indentation, `": "` after keys, no trailing newline. Do not escape `<`, `>`, `&` or `/`.
 - New numeric values: integer fields as integers (`4`); float fields always with a decimal point (`96.0`, `20.0`, `5.0`, never `96`). Tuning `pitch` is a 32-bit float widened to 64-bit and printed in shortest form (12.4 is written `12.399999618530273`; the device wrote the same float64 with 17 digits, `12.399999618530274`.

 - Go serves the selected pad's source WAV to the frontend at a local route (the app's asset handler, or the built-in file-server service).
 - The frontend decodes it with Web Audio and plays it through a buffer source with `detune` = coarse x 100 + fine (cents). Pitch and speed change together, as on the device.
-- For loaded pads that already carry a start/end trim, play only that region so the preview matches the device, even though trim is not editable in 1.0.
+- For loaded pads that already carry a start/end trim, play only that region so the preview matches the device, even though trim is not editable in 0.5.0.
 - Mute-group choking: the frontend tracks which pads are sounding and their mute group. Starting a pad first stops every other sounding pad in the same non-zero group, with a 5-10 ms fade so the cut does not click. Group 0 (off) never chokes. The fade length is our choice, not measured from the device.
 - A new click on the same pad restarts it (pads are monophonic on the device).

+# Plan for 0.5.0 (beta) instead of 1.0
+
+Branch: `beta-0-5-0` → `main`
+
+## What changed
+
+The current milestones (M1–M9) produce a beta release for testing, 0.5.0, not 1.0. The milestones needed for 1.0, including beta testers using pre-1.0 versions, will be added later.
+
+- `docs/build-plan.md`:
+  - Every "1.0" is now "0.5.0": title, "What 0.5.0 is", "Not in 0.5.0", the design notes, and M9's done-when ("a tagged v0.5.0 build").
+  - A line under the title says 0.5.0 is a beta release for testing and the 1.0 milestones come later.
+- `docs/xpj-format-and-scope.md`: the same scope was labelled "1.0" there and the plan refers to it, so those labels are now "0.5.0" too. The scope heading notes it was agreed on 2026-11-10 as the 1.0 scope and renamed on 2026-11-11.
+- `internal/project/project.go`: two comments ("every edit 1.0 makes", "tuning ranges for 1.0") now say 0.5.0.
+
+Not changed: the format doc's "2.0" labels (features after this release), and the test comment calling start/end trim "a 2.0 feature". They can be revisited when the 1.0 milestones are planned.
+
+Merges cleanly with `m8-load-guard-rails`, which also edits the build plan (checked with a trial merge).
+
+## Testing
+
+Docs and comments only. `go vet ./internal/project` passes.
