+>
+HyperFrames now catches rotation pivot drift during layout audits, helping surface off-center spinners before render. This release also preserves editable \<br\> line breaks in SDK text edits, strengthens producer font, probe, and worker-memory handling, and improves preflight and pre-commit feedback.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Lint:** Add rotation_pivot_drift layout check ([222aec45a](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/222aec45ab0553c014dddccd563e273affd9b71a), [#2741](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/2741))
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Sdk:** Keep \<br\> line breaks editable and uncorrupted in setText ([dd7378bbd](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/dd7378bbd934ecc0da85c1edfae7946ac7e2271a), [#2742](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/2742))
+- **Lint:** Address render preflight review feedback ([7a294f195](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/7a294f19562928036dae20d5e73c2637d1e19060), [#2739](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/2739))

+- **Hooks:** Pre-commit gate denies commit instead of ending the turn ([97ec7db5c](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/97ec7db5cccd14a47fcfbe534d269dfea7a0d37d))
