* docs(guides): resolve the fidelity contradiction (preserve substance, adapt form)
The guide called the rebuild 'lossy by nature' while the checklist demanded 'content
match the brief exactly', with no rule for what to preserve vs adapt. On a live import
CD kept fonts/palette/hero but genericized the source's real figures (2.4M signals/sec,
+240% spike) into vague phrases. Resolve around one principle: substance (real copy,
exact palette/fonts, distinctive figures/data, product names, signature visuals) is
preserved verbatim; only the form (static page to timed multi-scene motion) adapts.
* test(guides): pin the Send-to fidelity contract against silent regression
Address review on #2620: the resolved 'preserve substance, adapt form' instruction is
load-bearing LLM-facing prompt text, but validate-docs only proves syntax. Add a semantic
pin (mirroring packages/cli figma skillContent.test.ts) asserting the three positive
concepts are present and the two retired contradictory phrases ('lossy by nature',
'content match the brief exactly') cannot silently return.
* style(guides): oxfmt the Send-to fidelity-contract test
Wrap the readFileSync call to oxfmt form (printWidth 100); unblocks required Format + its
preflight/preview-regression cascade on #2620.
* feat(media): alpha-capable authoring proxies
Alpha sources were refused a proxy before the codec map ever asked whether the
browser could decode them, so a ProRes 4444 alpha file (which no browser
previews at all) rendered black forever, while an alpha WebM (which previews
fine) was already covered by the browser-safe check on the next line. The alpha
veto earned nothing and cost the one case that needed help.
Alpha is now a target-codec choice rather than a veto: alpha sources transcode
to VP9 + yuva420p in WebM, everything else keeps the existing H.264/MP4 path
byte for byte. Only files no browser can preview are proxied, which is the rule
the runtime already followed everywhere else.
WebM cannot carry AAC, so the VP9 path uses Opus and drops the MP4-only
faststart flag. PROXY_PARAMS_VERSION moves to v3 so clients stop serving the
previously cached proxies.
Safari does not decode VP9 alpha and still shows black for alpha sources, as it
does today: this is better on Chromium and Firefox and no worse anywhere.
* fix(media): infer proxy variant for rescue
* fix(media): preserve alpha proxy hardening after restack
* feat(studio-server): serve H.264 proxies from the preview route
Wires the codec manifest and the transcoder into the preview surface: the route
negotiates a proxy via a query param and serves it through the existing range
and ETag machinery, composition HTML carries a codec map for the runtime, and
hostile assets pre-warm so a first play does not wait on a cold transcode.
Exposes the three subpath exports the CLI surfaces consume upstack.
Drops the TEMP fallow entry added with the transcoder: it has real importers now.

* feat(cli): let projects opt out of automatic proxying
Adds media.autoProxy to hyperframes.json plus --proxy/--no-proxy flags, and

adapter. Lands before the runtime slice that turns auto-proxying on, so the
switch exists before there is any behavior to switch off.
* fix(cli): align media config schema
* feat(core): swap undecodable video to its proxy at runtime
Adds the browser-side half: before first load the runtime consults the injected
codec map and swaps a hostile source to its proxy, and if a video still reports
zero decodable width it rescues it reactively. An HEVC file carrying AAC fires
no error event, so zero videoWidth, not the error event, is the reliable signal.
Audio elements and alpha sources are never proxied, render mode never proxies,
and each swap evicts the element's stale sync state and reports once.
This completes the loop: auto-proxying is live for preview and studio from here.
The opt-out (media.autoProxy, --no-proxy) shipped in the previous slice.
* feat(cli): serve proxies from play, present, and the static project server
Adds proxy negotiation to the CLI-side servers and gives play byte-range
serving it never had, so a swapped video can seek. The static project server
behind check, snapshot, compare and friends injects the codec map once, so all
of its callers inherit the behavior; snapshot forwards its own proxy flag.
* fix(cli): serve proxies for camera formats
* feat(cli): resolve proxies before check's timed browser phase
check pre-resolves hostile assets so a cold transcode cannot exhaust the
render-ready budget, and surfaces the runtime's proxy diagnostics as findings
so a swap is visible rather than silent.
* feat(cli): bake proxies into published archives
Published pages are static, so there is no server to negotiate with: publish
transcodes proxies for hostile assets into the archive and rewrites the video
sources that point at them. Audio elements keep their originals, since audio
decodes independently of the video codec.
Splits the archive build from the zip step so publish can transform between
them. cloud render keeps calling the unchanged composition and still uploads
originals, which its regression test pins.

Addresses C1-C7 from Rames's adversarial review + N2/N3 nits:
- C1 (positionFixed): inline probe now value-scopes to 'fixed' — previously
fired on any position value (absolute, relative, sticky), producing a
false-positive anatomy that would mislead maintainers pattern-matching
the 'sub-comp + position:fixed capture' bug family.
- C2 (overflowHidden): symmetric fix — inline path now catches
style='overflow: hidden' via the value-scoped probe, matching the
<style>-tag branch. Also handles overflow-x/overflow-y variants.
- C3 (VISUAL_DEFECT_KEYWORDS): drop 'render' — CLI's primary command is
'hyperframes render', so build/perf/hang reports were triggering an
inappropriate COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE: nudge on the most common failure
mode. Rely on the more specific tokens (black, blank, flicker, corrupt,
wrong frame) to identify actual visual defects.
- C4 (mentionsVisualDefect): compile keywords into a word-bounded regex.
'blackboard', 'blanket', 'visualize', 'corruptible' no longer false-
positive. Accepted tradeoff: plural forms ('flickers') don't match.
- C5 (marker case-normalization): REPRO COMMAND: / COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:
checks now case-insensitive, matching mentionsVisualDefect's
normalization. Reporters using 'Repro command:' or lowercase
'composition_structure:' get credit for compliance.
- C6 (background/mask shorthand): inline branch previously required the
longhand 'background-image:' / 'mask-image:' — style='background:
url(bg.png)' silently returned false. Now checks both longhand AND
shorthand-with-url() inline forms.
- C7 (usesGsap docstring): trim promise of data-gsap-* attribute scanning
that detectGsap never implemented — attribute scan lives outside the
<script>-only detection path.
- N2 (EMPTY_VALUES): include 'inherit', 'revert', 'revert-layer' — a
style='position: inherit' is authored intent to defer, not authored
intent to place.
- N3 (input size cap): early-exit to a zero census on HTML > 20 MB
rather than feeding linkedom a hostile input. Not expected in normal
usage; guard for future callers that might pass raw user uploads.
Extends the test locks: 6 new census tests (value-scoping, size cap) and
5 new lint tests (word-boundary rejections, render-noise rejections,
lowercase-marker acceptance). All existing tests unchanged in intent —
only the 'flickers' plural in one test updated to 'flicker' to reflect
the new word-boundary rule.

still never called from feedback.ts, no new dependencies.

Extend the CLI feedback reproduction packet (#2498) with a fifth
mandated field, `COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:`, and enforce presence of
`REPRO COMMAND:` / `COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:` at feedback-submit time.
- Skill + reference now specify `COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:` — a
privacy-preserving structural anatomy (element census + attribute
presence + timeline shape + delta + defect location) — required for
any rating <=7 that describes a visual defect.
- `buildCompositionCensus()` + `renderCompositionCensusBlock()`
auto-fill the block from composition HTML so agents don't ask the
human user to hand-count `<video>` / `<img>` / sub-comp mounts.
Counts + presence flags only — no file paths, no src URLs, no user
text.
- `hyperframes feedback` soft-warns (never blocks) when a non-10
`--comment` is missing `REPRO COMMAND:`, and when a rating-<=7
visual-defect comment is missing `COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:`. The
warning points at the auto-census helper so agents remediate
themselves.
- `coreSkillContent.test.ts` locks the new literal in both the skill
and the reference file, following #2498's pattern.
Extends #2498. Follow-up: no change to `doctorSummary` generation, no
change to the feedback-submission API endpoint, no refactor of
#2498's doc-content Jest test.

Addresses Miga's SSOT review on #2564. The render command was
inlining the disable-alias list (["off","none","false","0"]) instead
of importing the exported constant, defeating the drift-safety the
constant exists to provide. Also switches the flag description string
to interpolate the alias set from the constant for consistency.

The cli, engine, and lint packages each carried their own copy of the
ffmpeg/ffprobe lookup, annotated fallow-ignore code-duplication, and the
copies had drifted: the engine copy handled Windows PATHEXT and executed
which/where without a shell but lacked the Homebrew-dirs fallback for
GUI-spawned processes; the cli copy had the opposite. One resolver in
@hyperframes/parsers (the dependency-graph bottom) now carries the union
of both hardenings, and all three packages delegate to it. Every
consumer gets strictly more robust resolution; env-override semantics
per call site are preserved via configuredMustExist.
Field feedback (#hyperframes-cli-feedback ts=1784227832, darwin/x64,
macOS 12, HyperFrames CLI 0.7.60) hit
`dyld: Symbol not found: _kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ReferenceBufferCount`
from VideoToolbox when launching the pinned chrome-headless-shell
mac-152.0.7928.2. The symbol is macOS-13-only, so older hosts abort
the binary at dyld load before any browser process starts.
The reporter recovered by installing an older shell
(`@puppeteer/browsers install chrome-headless-shell@150`) and pointing
`PRODUCER_HEADLESS_SHELL_PATH` at it. Their check/snapshot commands
accepted that older cached shell (they do not force the pinned build),
but the render command requires v152 via `preferManagedChrome: true`
and could not fall back on its own. The generic "Try --docker" hint
didn't name any of the browser-path env vars.
Sibling failure mode to the download-time hint added in #2443 and the
closed-with-invite #2078 (SIGTRAP at launch on macOS arm64), and the
in-flight #2481 (Windows STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN); same
`HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` remediation, different trigger + platform.
The match is gated on:
1. Puppeteer launch-failure wrapper text
2. dyld Symbol-not-found signal
3. a macOS-13-only symbol OR the VideoToolbox framework
so unrelated darwin launch failures do not mis-fire the hint. The
symbol name is macOS-version-specific by construction — if a user's
dyld cannot find `_kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ReferenceBufferCount`
their host is <13, no separate `os.release()` gate needed.

C: exhaustion mid-render (Slack ts=1784219488 · CLI v0.7.58 · win32

HYPERFRAMES_EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR for relocation, but the knob was
undocumented and invisible in diagnostics — the reporter had to piece
together a 4-flag compound workaround including EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR=off.
Changes:
- Extract the env-var resolver into a public engine API
(resolveExtractCacheDir, defaultExtractCacheDir,
EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR_DISABLED_ALIASES) with a typed resolution shape
distinguishing "disabled by user" vs "default" vs "env override".
- Add a Frames-cache check to `hyperframes doctor` that reports the
effective directory, its free space, source (env or default), and
fails with a relocation hint when <2 GB free at that mount.
- Add `hyperframes render --frames-cache-dir <path>` as discoverable
CLI sugar for the env var, including the opt-out aliases
(off/none/false/0) and CWD-safe absolute-path resolution.
- Document the flag in docs/packages/cli.mdx with the field-signal
citation, and add a render example row for the Windows workflow.
- Cover both surfaces with unit tests (6 doctor cases + 4 engine
cases including all disabled-alias variants).

* feat(skills): probe and bump stale CLI pins during project resume
The entry skill now keeps a resumed project's pinned CLI current instead of
leaving that to a notice nobody acts on. On resuming a project with pinned
scripts, run the read-only probe 'npx hyperframes@latest upgrade --project
. --check'; when it (or the stale-pin stderr notice, or _meta.updateAvailable
from a pinned run) reports the project behind, apply the bump and verify
with 'hyperframes check'. A failed check reverts the bump and keeps the
project on its pinned version, preserving the reproducibility contract the
pin exists for.
The probe matters because the stale-pin notice only exists in >= 0.7.59:
a pinned run of an older CLI prints no warning at all, so a notice-only
trigger never fires for exactly the projects most behind. The probe runs
unpinned, so its behavior never depends on the project's CLI age.
Telemetry: the fleet converges to new releases within about a week via the
background auto-updater and ephemeral npx, but pinned projects form a
persistent stale tail (~10% of weekly actives, e.g. 6.3k users still on
0.6.x three weeks after 0.7.0).
Both skill surfaces now pass an explicit dir ('--project .') because a bare
'--project' followed by another flag consumes that flag as its directory
value and no-ops; the parsing fix is a separate CLI change.
* fix(cli): stop bare --project from eating the next flag as its directory
citty parses --project as a string option, so 'upgrade --project --check'
arrived with project="--check": the dir resolved to a nonexistent path and
the command no-opd with 'No package.json found' while --check was lost.
The documented default-cwd behavior only worked when --project was the
final token — and the trap-prone form is exactly what the scaffolded
template CLAUDE.md instructs.
A leading dash can never be a real directory argument, so resolveProjectArgs
now reclaims the eaten token as the flag the user wrote (--check / --json),
falls back to the current directory, and drops unrelated eaten flags rather
than treating them as paths. Templates and skill references switch to the
explicit-dir form ('--project .'), which behaves correctly on every release
including ones that predate this fix.
* feat(skills): report a successful pin bump in the run summary
Review follow-up on the stale-pin rule: 'hyperframes check' validates
composition structure, not render-output equivalence, so a check-passing
bump can still shift a project's rendered output. The bump stays the right
default for stale projects, but it must not be silent — the summary now
names the old and new version so the user knows the reproducibility
trade was made.
Addresses R2 CHANGES_REQUESTED from Miga + Rames on PR #2529:
1. Sibling-surface gap (blocker): `hyperframes cloudrun render{,-batch}`,
`hyperframes lambda render{,-batch}` all advertised the same tier-only
aliases (`1080p` / `hd` / `4k` / `uhd`) but normalized them to `landscape`
and never set `outputResolutionAspectAgnostic`. The distributed plumbing
PR #2529 added received `undefined` from those callers, so portrait `1080p`
still hit the original aspect-mismatch on Cloud Run / Lambda.
Fix: introduce `resolveResolutionFlagPair` in `@hyperframes/parsers` (the
single source of truth for the two-step normalize + aspect-agnostic
detect) and route every distributed entrypoint through a shared
`parseOutputResolutionFlag` CLI util so the alias signal now reaches
`SerializableDistributedRenderConfig`. Studio Server keeps its
canonical-only HTTP contract; that intent is now pinned in tests.
2. Preflight recompute (hardening): the earlier "downgrade aspect-mismatch"
preflight cleared un-remapped mismatches, so IG 4:5 (non-preset aspect,
no sibling) and portrait-4K comp + `--resolution 1080p` (remap +
downsample) both slipped through to fail late in `resolveDeviceScaleFactor`.
Now `checkRenderResolutionPreflight` computes the effective preset via
`suggestMatchingPreset` (mirroring the compile stage's
`adaptAspectAgnosticResolution`) and re-checks against that — only
genuinely-fixable mismatches clear early. New tests pin both regressed
input classes.
3. Docker forwarding boundary test (Miga's important #2): pinned
`1080p` survives verbatim as `--resolution 1080p` in the Docker args
so the in-container CLI can re-run `isAspectAgnosticResolutionAlias`.
4. Doc-nit (Miga): parsers/src/types.ts no longer references the
nonexistent `resolveResolutionForComposition` — points at the actual
remap helpers.
Fallow: cloudrun.ts / lambda.ts share 390 lines of pre-existing structural
symmetry (parallel AWS + GCP dispatchers), and lambda/render.ts +
render-batch.ts declare parallel RenderArgs interfaces. Both re-flagged
after threading the aspect-agnostic field through each surface; ignored
with justification in .fallowrc.jsonc. lambda.ts's `run` and
lambda/render.ts's `waitForCompletion` are pre-existing CRAP-score
hotspots untouched by this PR — added under health.ignore.

Fallow flagged the `uncaughtException` arrow at CRAP 30.0 (right at
threshold). Extracting the three exit paths — emitCliErrorEvent,
reportPostRenderTerminationEvent, exitAfterPostRenderTermination,
exitAfterCliFailure — pulls the two `_flushSync?.()` optional-chain
branches out of the arrow body and drops cyclomatic to 3. Same shape
already used on compileStage in a sibling PR. Behavior preserved:
EPIPE → exit(0), renderSucceeded → report + flush + exit(0),
default → commandFailed + track + flush + exit(1) for uncaught;
renderSucceeded → report + return, default → commandFailed + track
for rejection.
Windows contactSheet flake: `createContactSheet > writes PNG output`
timed out at 20025ms (default ceiling 20000ms) on Windows. Test does
milliseconds of real work — the wall-clock overhead is sharp's native
binary fork under runner I/O jitter. PR #2492 already tried lightening
the test; the flake persists at the default ceiling. Bumping the
per-test timeout to 60s absorbs runner jitter without hiding real
slowdowns (a genuine sharp regression would blow through 60s just as
readily as 20s). Targeted per-test bump, not a global suite bump.

The aspect-agnostic resolution aliases (`--resolution 1080p` / `hd` / `4k` / `uhd`) previously all normalized to a landscape preset, which rejected portrait 1080x1920 compositions with 'Output resolution incompatible'. Users had to specify the orientation-bearing alias (`1080p-portrait`) or render at native.
This threads two new fields (`outputResolutionAspectAgnostic` + `outputResolutionRaw`) through the render pipeline. At the CLI layer we detect whether the user's flag was an aspect-agnostic alias; at the compile stage we re-map the preset to the composition's orientation via the existing `suggestMatchingPreset` sibling-lookup (formerly private). Explicit orientation-bearing aliases and canonical presets stay strict.

The render command's post-artifact-validated cleanup (telemetry flush,
feedback prompt, worker/browser teardown, stray promise rejections) can
throw AFTER the producer has committed a valid MP4 to disk. Field signal

valid, but the CLI exited 1 after the terminal "artifact validated" log
with no final error message.
Introduce a `renderSucceeded` sentinel that flips after `executeRenderJob`
(or the Docker child render) resolves cleanly. From that point on:
- Post-render steps in the render command (trackRenderMetrics,
printRenderComplete, warnIfWebmAlphaDropped, maybePromptRenderFeedback)
run through `runPostRenderStep`/`runPostRenderStepAsync` guards that
swallow throws, log a compact warning to stderr, and sanitize a stray
`process.exitCode` back to 0.
- The CLI's top-level `uncaughtException` handler logs the throw for
diagnosis but exits 0 instead of 1 when the render already succeeded.
- The CLI's `unhandledRejection` handler stops flipping `commandFailed`
(which drove the success:false telemetry field) when the render
already succeeded.

Adds a `--timeout <ms>` CLI flag (and `HYPERFRAMES_TRANSCRIBE_TIMEOUT_MS`

while the machine needed ~13.7 min. Splitting audio and merging offsets
was the manual workaround.
- Add `--timeout <ms>` and `HYPERFRAMES_TRANSCRIBE_TIMEOUT_MS` (min 5000).
Explicit override bypasses auto-scaling; still capped at 12h.
- Add per-model slowdown factor (tiny 0.5, base 0.7, small 1, medium 2,
large 4, large-v3-turbo 2). Multiplied into the 10s/audio-second
baseline so medium/large get proportional headroom while `small.en`
(the default) preserves the historical safety window.
- Wrap whisper's spawn error with a discoverability hint naming
`--timeout`, the env var, and the effective timeout when the child
was killed by SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT (mirrors PR #2504 protocol-timeout).
- Docs: new `--timeout` row in `docs/packages/cli.mdx` Flags table.
Regression coverage in `packages/cli/src/whisper/transcribe.test.ts`

- Explicit override honored below the auto floor + capped at 12h.
- Model factor ignored when overrideMs is set.
- SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT detection + augmented message contract.
- CLI rejects below-minimum `--timeout` with error naming both the flag

worked around it with a slow host y-drift. The sweep fingerprint
does include per-element opacity, so document the actual trap (a
reveal that settles before the sampled window, then holds a static
frame) and the idiomatic fixes (spread the reveal / keep a blinking
caret alive) in the check reference — and pin the fingerprint's
opacity sensitivity with a regression test covering both the
visibility-floor crossing and a mid-fade value change.
