feat(cli): add hyperframes lambda deploy/render/progress/destroy (#910)

* feat(cli): add hyperframes lambda deploy/render/progress/destroy Wraps the @hyperframes/aws-lambda SDK + the Phase 6a SAM template behind a single CLI surface so an end-to-end render is three commands instead of the ~8 manual bun+sam+aws steps the smoke script does today: hyperframes lambda deploy hyperframes lambda render ./my-project --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait hyperframes lambda destroy Subcommands: - deploy: build handler.zip + sam-deploy + persist stack outputs to <cwd>/.hyperframes/lambda-stack-<name>.json - sites create: pre-upload a project to S3 with a stable content hash so re-renders skip the tar+PUT pass - render: start a Step Functions execution; --wait blocks and streams per-chunk progress + accrued cost - progress: one-shot snapshot — status, frames, cost breakdown, errors. Accepts renderId or executionArn - destroy: sam-delete + drop the local state file (S3 bucket is Retain'd by the template; documented in --help and in docs/packages/cli.mdx) To keep @sparticuz/chromium out of the CLI's transitive deps, this also adds a dedicated ./sdk subpath export to @hyperframes/aws-lambda; the CLI imports from @hyperframes/aws-lambda/sdk exclusively. The existing . barrel still re-exports both handler + SDK for adopters who want one entry point. Defaults are deliberately cost-conservative for first-time users: --concurrency=8 (low enough to never surprise) and --memory=10240 (the common case; documented for adopters who want to tune down). Tests: 5 unit tests on the state-file round-trip. CLI integration against sam local invoke is part of the upcoming PR 6.6 (lambda-local regression harness). * refactor(cli): /simplify pass on the lambda command group Two small cleanups on top of the lambda CLI: - Replace parseFormat / parseCodec / parseQuality / parseChromeSource (four near-identical helpers) with a single generic parseEnum() + typed const-tuple lookups. The four callers now read as one-line arrow functions that lift the allowed values out of the function body so they're easy to extend. - DEFAULT_STACK_NAME was const-declared then re-exported at the bottom of state.ts; just mark the const export inline. No behavior changes. All CLI tests still pass. * fix(cli): keep @hyperframes/aws-lambda external in the tsup bundle esbuild can't bundle @hyperframes/aws-lambda's transitive AWS SDK deps (@aws-sdk/* + @smithy/*) cleanly into a node binary — the SDK's .browser.js conditional re-exports break the resolver: ESM Build failed No matching export in "splitStream.browser.js" for import "splitStream" (and ~10 similar errors) Mark aws-lambda as `external` so esbuild doesn't follow it, and move it from devDependencies to dependencies so the published CLI can resolve it from node_modules at runtime. The lambda subverb files dynamic-import only on `hyperframes lambda *` invocation, so the CLI cold-start cost is unchanged. The install-size hit (AWS SDK + @sparticuz/chromium ≈ 200 MiB) is documented as a v1 tradeoff; a future split into a lambda-sdk-only subpackage can pare this back. * fix(cli): address PR review on lambda CLI Two blockers + four important items from Vai's review: - `--memory` was parsed and recorded in the local state file but never forwarded to `sam deploy` as a parameter override. Worse, `progress.ts` then read the *recorded* value for cost math, so `--memory 5120` produced wrong cost numbers downstream. Thread `LambdaMemoryMb` through samDeploy's --parameter-overrides. - `--profile` was only consumed by deploy / destroy. render and progress fell back to the default credentials chain — a user with `--profile prod` would silently render against their default account (wrong-account billing footgun). Set `process.env.AWS_PROFILE` (and `AWS_REGION`) in the dispatcher before any subverb runs; the AWS SDK reads them natively, so render / progress / sites all benefit without each subverb threading the flag through the SDK call. - `--profile` + destroy now also reads `process.env.AWS_PROFILE` as a fallback (matching deploy's existing env fallback). - `--wait --json` printed both the start handle AND the final progress snapshot, producing two concatenated JSON blobs that `jq` rejected. Now emits a single document: handle (without --wait) OR final progress (with --wait). - Negative integers on `--width` / `--height` / `--chunk-size` / `--max-parallel-chunks` / `--memory` / `--concurrency` now fail loudly via a new `parsePositiveInt` wrapper instead of flowing into the SDK and producing opaque AWS validation errors mid- render. - `DEFAULT_STACK_NAME` is now centralized to the literal `"hyperframes-default"` and consumed from one place. Previously the value was assembled as `hyperframes-${"default"}` in three sites and hardcoded as `"hyperframes-default"` in a fourth. `requireStack`'s hint now matches the dispatcher's default. The faked `SiteHandle` for `--site-id` keeps the documented placeholder fields but also surfaces `bucketName` (from PR 909's extended SiteHandle interface), matching the SDK contract. All CLI unit tests + the full bundler build still pass. * fix(cli): keep aws-lambda out of CLI runtime deps The "Smoke: global install" CI step packs the CLI via `npm pack` and installs it globally via `npm install -g <tgz>`. npm doesn't understand the workspace: protocol, so a runtime `dependencies` entry of `@hyperframes/aws-lambda: workspace:*` blows up with: npm error code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL npm error Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:* (pnpm rewrites workspace:* on publish; npm pack doesn't.) Three changes to unblock the smoke + keep the published CLI install small for users who don't deploy to Lambda: - Move `@hyperframes/aws-lambda` from CLI's `dependencies` back to `devDependencies`. It's already external in tsup.config.ts; the bundle references it via runtime resolution only. - Convert the static `import { … } from "@hyperframes/aws-lambda/sdk"` in sites.ts / render.ts / progress.ts to `await import()` inside each function. tsup with `splitting: false` was inlining those static imports at the top of the bundle, which made Node eagerly resolve them at CLI startup (MODULE_NOT_FOUND before any lambda subcommand even runs). Dynamic imports stay dynamic in the bundle. - Add a friendly missing-module check in the lambda dispatcher. When a user runs `hyperframes lambda deploy / render / sites / progress / destroy` without aws-lambda installed, they now see: @hyperframes/aws-lambda is not installed. The `hyperframes lambda deploy` command needs it at runtime. Install it alongside the CLI: npm install -g @hyperframes/aws-lambda Verified locally: pack + global install + `hyperframes init --example blank` now succeeds end-to-end (was the same scenario the CI smoke job runs).
