White is in the process of promoting a pawn on d8. Finish the move by placing a Queen or Rook on d8 for mate.

Or finish castling Queenside.

And there's the second 😞

If black resigns, is that a half move?

It wouldn't be mate then.

Why not use a 😠

"Yes there is. A half-move is a move made by one player; it's half a ply where a ply is two half-moves made by each player. "

You're playing with words. When one refers to a move, it is usually an individual piece being placed on a different location on the chess board. It is usually not thought of as the completion of both white and black turns. Thus, you are trying to use a definition which is in discord with common language, creating confusion. A better way to say this would be: "White to play and mate!"

Also, unless the players agree to a conclusion, there is no win in 0.5 moves. There is only a mate in two moves in normal language and 1.5 moves by your definition of a move.
