q0idmation roadmap

First beta

The first public test focuses on a dependable editor-to-player workflow:

1. Create and edit a .q1s project in q0editor.
2. Save, reopen, and recover cleanly from user-facing errors.
3. Export a validated .q0s movie.
4. Open and play the movie in q0player.
5. Install and remove each application independently for the current Windows user.

q0editor and q0player are the only applications distributed in this beta.

After feedback

• Fix reproducible data-loss, file-format, rendering, and installer defects before adding new surface area.
• Improve drawing tools and timeline editing from observed beta workflows.
• Expand q0lang only after its runtime and sandbox behavior have dedicated compatibility and security tests.
• Package q0shell and q0term only after their filesystem boundary is hardened.
• Document format compatibility before declaring a stable file-format version.

This order is intentionally conservative: saved projects and exported movies must remain trustworthy while the interface evolves.
