Found by stepping through motion contact sheets rather than single frames.
- hw-pipeline: arrowheads were two asymmetric barbs (l -30 -14 / l -26 18)
fixed to horizontal, so they detached from a curve that arrives on a
descending tangent. Barbs now derive from the quadratic's end tangent
(end - control) with symmetric length and spread.
- hw-pipeline, hw-scribble-transition, hw-callout-circle: the family carried
two accents — #ffb020 in hw-frame/hw-title/hw-underline and #6d6dff here.
Unified on the warm marker accent; the blue read as a default UI colour.
- hw-callout-circle: the scribble hatch rendered as stacked bars over the
labelled subject. More rows so the zigzag reads as a scribble, lighter
weight and alpha so it sits behind the label.
- yt-camera-move: the stage grid was too faint to reveal the move, so the
preview of a camera-move component looked static. Stronger grid; zoom,
slide and tilt now read.
Demos resynced from source — demo.html is a plate-swapped copy, so a source
fix does not reach the catalog preview until it is regenerated.
The contributed HTML predates any oxfmt pass, so format:check failed for
42 files in both the Format and Preflight jobs. All 29 items re-rendered
after formatting and verified against frames — no visual change.
Adds three themed registry families contributed by @jbernard077:
- mk-* minimal presentation (7 blocks, 3 components)
- yt-* retro-broadcast creator (5 blocks, 4 components)
- hw-* hand-drawn scribble (6 blocks, 5 components)
Consolidates PRs #1933, #1992, #1993 and #1994, cuts 5 of the original 34
items, and fixes the defects that CI never got to report.
Cut (5), each covered by something we already ship or trivial to inline:
- yt-doc-lower-third — would be the 12th name/role lower third next to the
10 lt-* variants and lower-third-bild
- mk-logo-sting — logo-outro exists, and yt-logo-intro is the richer version
- mk-cta-button, mk-pill-callout, yt-avatar-pip — a styled button, a styled
chip and a masked circle
Fixes:
- hw-path-text rendered as a solid black blob. #hw-pt-path is the textPath
carrier and had no rule, so it inherited SVG's default black fill while
only #hw-pt-guide set fill:none.
- mk-line-graph value labels collided with their own dots and each other.
Series after the first now label downward, and the offset moved off a CSS
transform because the entrance tween animates y and GSAP rewrote it.
- Added demo.html for the 11 components and the 3 transparent-root blocks.
Without it generate-catalog-previews.ts skips components entirely, so the
catalog-previews job failed for every component in the original PRs.
- Tagged hw-title, hw-pipeline and hw-path-text as overlays.
Also registers all catalog pages in docs.json, which the original PRs left
orphaned, and picks up 4 pre-existing blocks that had no catalog page
(camcorder-hud, editorial-flash-overlay, freeze-frame-dressing,
organic-light-leak-overlay) because the regenerated nav now links them.
Every item was verified by rendering it and looking at the frames.

- caption-emoji-pop: shadowForColor now builds its glow via color-mix()
instead of hex-pair slicing, so the strict 6-digit brand-color gate is
gone — any CSS color the sibling templates accept (#fff, rgb(), named)
now renders instead of silently falling back to the default palette
- caption-weight-shift: fitFontSize now sizes against the WIDEST split
line rather than the joined group text (two-line groups no longer shrink
unnecessarily), and avoidSingleWordGroups' merges re-check fitsInTwoLines
like makeGroups' first pass does (merged groups can no longer overflow
the split budget)
- all 5: hfApplyStageConfig clamps resolution to the published validator's
<=8192 bound (validator is optional pre-flight; unbounded stages OOM
render workers), and fit floors carry a comment documenting that the
minimum size is returned unverified by design

Two review findings on the caption-data runtime, applied to all 5 templates:
- hfValidate's version gate used Math.floor(Number(v)) > HF_CONTRACT_VERSION,
and Number("v2") is NaN — NaN comparisons are always false, so malformed
versions slid through with no unsupported-version signal. An explicit
Number.isFinite check closes it.
- hfBoot's sibling-fetch .then called hfAttach unconditionally; a manual
window.__HF_CAPTION_ATTACH__ call landing while the fetch or fonts.ready
was still pending got clobbered by the late boot payload. Boot now yields
if a timeline already exists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
caption-highlight was already IIFE-wrapped; the other four leaked their
runtime (hfAttach/hfBuild/...) as script-scope globals. Harmless when boot
was synchronous, but the data-driven retrofit defers attach behind
fonts.ready + the sibling fetch — with two caption components pasted into
one composition document, every script finishes before any deferred boot
runs, the last script's definitions win the shared scope, and the first
component never registers its timeline (a renderer waiting on it hangs to
timeout). Wrapping each template's script keeps its internals private so
each boot attaches its own component. window.__HF_CAPTION_ATTACH__ remains
intentionally window-scoped (last-defined-wins).

hfApplyStageConfig (Block B, verbatim across all 5 retrofitted caption
identities) only ever set --hf-caption-primary/--hf-caption-accent when the
corresponding brand.primaryColor/accentColor key was present, with no else
branch to clear it when absent. Re-attaching a brand-less payload after a
branded one left the custom property (and any JS-cached color derived from
it, e.g. caption-pill-karaoke's hfColorActive and caption-emoji-pop's
hfAccentColors) stuck at the stale value instead of reverting to the CSS
fallback, violating idempotent re-attach.
Also removes caption-editorial-emphasis's dead .word--italic CSS rule and
CLASS_MAP.i entry — hfMakeBlocks only ever emits "n"/"e" tags, "i" was only
reachable via the old hand-authored BLOCKS literal this task replaced.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both identities looped over every OTHER group/block to force its opacity
to 0 at each group's own start time, in addition to each group already
setting its own opacity to 0 at its own end. Since groups/blocks occupy
non-overlapping time windows and already own their full opacity
lifecycle, that loop was dead weight — but it made timeline construction
O(n^2) in the number of groups/blocks. Under the Task 7 stress transcript
(long, frequent "emphasis" words forcing near single-word blocks/groups),
n reached ~2000 and the page hung well past a 30s test timeout for both
identities.
Verified behavior-preserving: full templates.test.ts (41 tests, incl.
opacity/seek assertions) and the new limits.test.ts stress suite pass
against both identities after the removal.
Replaces the hand-authored BLOCKS literal with hfMakeBlocks, a heuristic that
groups words into blocks/lines from timing (pauses, punctuation, max words per
block) and hfIsEmphasisWord (long, non-stopword content words) to decide which
word gets the large Playfair Display emphasis treatment and its own slide-in
line. computeLineSize/buildBlocks/fitBlocks and timeline construction now live
inside hfBuild, closing over layout-scaled font sizes and widths. Adds the
shared Blocks A-E caption-data runtime (attach/gate/brand config) and the
.word/.word--emphasis CSS brand hook for --hf-caption-primary. This is the
last of the five caption identities to go data-driven.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces the hardcoded RAW_GROUPS index-pair array with hfMakeGroups, a
real fitting/pause/punctuation-based grouper, and wires the component
into the shared caption-data runtime (validate/gate/attach). Adds CSS
brand hooks: .hl-word text color from --hf-caption-primary, .hl-word-bg
gradient from --hf-caption-accent (second stop via color-mix()).
Retrofits caption-emoji-pop onto the shared HyperFrames caption-data runtime
(Blocks A-D) and the emphasis heuristic (Block E), replacing the hardcoded
7-word emoji map, fixed KEYWORDS set, and TRANSITION_WORDS set with a
generic ~40-entry lexicon and HF_STOPWORDS/hfIsEmphasisWord. The component
now consumes brand.primaryColor (hfPrimaryColor) and brand.accentColor
(hfAccentColors) and rescales stage/font/emoji sizing to the runtime
resolution via layout.fontScale/scaleX/scaleY.

CI failures were two root causes (preview-regression was a cascade — its gate
mirrors preview-parity, which was skipped because the Preflight lint+format job
failed):
- Preflight (lint + format): the migrated registry comps (flowchart,
flowchart-vertical, liquid-glass-notification, vignette demo) were committed
unformatted — the lefthook format step only ran oxfmt on staged TS, not HTML,
so `oxfmt --check .` failed in CI. Ran oxfmt on all four. The vignette title's
per-glyph spans use oxfmt's `</span>`-split form, which keeps the glyphs
adjacent (no inter-element whitespace), so rendering is unchanged.
- Skills: manifest in sync: the pre-commit hook's manifest generator and CI's
canonical `gen-skills-manifest.ts` produced different content hashes for the
same skill; regenerated with the canonical generator so the committed manifest
matches what CI computes.

The previous fixHint and skill guidance told agents to "settle via scale" for
text-reflow props — but uniform scale resizes the glyphs, it does not change
the gaps between them, so swapping a letterSpacing tween for scale lints clean
while silently animating a different thing.
Make the guidance faithful per property:
- fontSize -> scale (same visual, sub-pixel smooth).
- letterSpacing / wordSpacing -> split the text into per-character elements and
animate each glyph's x (the spread); uniform scale is NOT equivalent. Or hold
the value statically if it's a minor flourish.
Add a "preserve the intent" principle to gsap-transforms-and-perf.md: a fix must
reproduce the same start/end state and trajectory and be verified against the
ORIGINAL render, not just pass lint — lint-clean-and-smooth is not the bar,
faithful-and-smooth is.
Redo the vignette demo title with the faithful per-glyph x spread (15.12px =
(0.32em-0.18em)*108px, centered about 8 chars). Render-verified: settled
endpoint matches the original at 46.5 dB, settle is smooth (24/24 unique frames).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extend the rule beyond positional layout props to the text-reflow props
letterSpacing / wordSpacing / fontSize. Animating them reflows text and snaps
glyph positions to the pixel grid, so a slow ease-out tail micro-stutters
exactly like left/top — measured on a real composition, a slow letterSpacing
"settle" rendered 19/30 unique frames vs 30/30 for the transform-driven
motion in the same piece. They have no transform replacement (fix: settle via
scale or hold the value), and the snap happens during browser layout, upstream
of the canvas raster, so they are never html-in-canvas-exempt. width/height
stay excluded (legit animated uses — progress bars, reveals).
Restructure the finding's message/fixHint to compose per category (positional
-> x/y; reflow -> scale/hold; roundProps -> remove) instead of a two-branch
ternary. Skill guidance (gsap-transforms-and-perf.md) broadened: "layout
property" includes reflow; letterSpacing/fontSize named as the settle-trap.
Migrate the one surfaced positive: registry/components/vignette/demo.html
title settle letterSpacing -> a subtle scale settle (render-verified 20/20
unique frames, smooth). Blast radius across the registry was this one comp,
zero false positives.

* feat(gsap): add innerText support to GSAP inspector for counter animations (#1244)
Adds 'innerText' as a supported GSAP property so number roll-up animations
(count-up from 0 to some value) are visible and editable in the GSAP inspector
panel.
- Add 'innerText' to SUPPORTED_PROPS in gsapConstants.ts
- Add label 'Counter Value', tooltip, and step constraint (1) in
gsapAnimationConstants.ts
The snap modifier that controls integer rounding is already preserved
verbatim via the EXTRAS_KEYS round-trip, so rounding behavior survives
edits without any additional UI changes.
Closes#1179
* feat(registry): add text-effects catalog section and morph-text component
Introduces a new "Text Effects" catalog section (below Effects) for text-focused visual components.
- Add `text-effects` BlockCategory to core registry types with violet color
- Add `text-effect` tag resolver in resolveBlockCategory (checked before generic `effect` tag)
- Tag caption-blend-difference, texture-mask-text, and morph-text with `text-effect`
- Update studio catalog order and color map to include text-effects
- Add morph-text component: gooey SVG threshold morph cycling through editable statements
using GSAP seekable proxy pattern for deterministic/seekable rendering

* chore(registry): add demo.html for morph-text catalog preview rendering
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(registry): address PR review feedback on morph-text and text-effects
- Restore `effect` tag on caption-blend-difference and texture-mask-text
alongside `text-effect` so existing tag-equality searches/analytics still match
- Fix morphPause script fallback from "0.25" to "1.5" to match data attribute default
- Add Math.max(0, ...) guard to blur values (intent clarity)
- Add prefers-reduced-motion: skip morph and show first word statically
- Remove CATEGORY_ORDER record from useBlockCatalog; derive order from
BLOCK_CATEGORIES array (single source of truth, no drift)
- Add comment to demo.html documenting its purpose (catalog preview script only)

The #f6f6f4 off-white background was showing through the 30px grid
gaps and behind translated cards during the zoom/unzoom transitions,
creating visible white strips in the rendered video. Changed to
#1a1a20 (near-black) so gaps read as intentional dark separators.
Also added a .zoom-backdrop div behind the grid in the zoom demo that
fades to the focus card's gold gradient during the transition, covering
any gaps left by sibling cards translating off-screen.

The renderer's Page.captureScreenshot can introduce a 1-2px offset
at viewport boundaries due to compositor subpixel rounding. Grid rows
are now 341px (3×341 + 2×30 = 1083), overflowing the 1080 viewport
by 3px. The overflow is clipped by overflow: hidden, but ensures any
capture offset still sees grid content rather than the body background.
Also removed flex centering from .demo-canvas — unnecessary now that
the grid fills the viewport, and it was a source of non-deterministic
positioning under multi-worker rendering.

Cards 360×340 with 30px gap = exactly 1920×1080. No body background
visible at any frame. Focus scale drops from 9 to 6 (360×6 = 2160,
still overshoots viewport by 240px).
Co-authored-by: Kanyini <onebenson@gmail.com>
- Increase --focus-scale from 8 to 9 — at scale 8 the card matched
the viewport width exactly (240×8=1920), leaving zero tolerance for
subpixel rounding. Scale 9 overshoots by 240px on each axis.
- Reduce grid gap from 40px to 24px — the 1040px grid in a 1080px
viewport left only 20px of padding, causing bottom-row cards and
their box-shadows to clip at the frame edge.
- Remove transform-style: preserve-3d from both snippets — no 3D
transforms are used, and preserve-3d can cause compositing artifacts
with overflow: hidden ancestors.
- Unzoom: set --pu-sibling-fade to 0 and drive sibling opacity via
GSAP (starting at t=2.0s). Previously, CSS-driven opacity made cards
70% visible when they first peeked into the viewport, creating
colored strips at the frame edge during the reveal.

Two companion components inspired by the eBay Playbook hero transition:
- parallax-zoom: center card scales up to fill the frame while siblings
parallax outward. Single CSS variable (--pz-progress 0→1), fully
seekable and deterministic.
- parallax-unzoom: the reverse — focus card starts at full-frame scale
and shrinks back into its grid position while siblings parallax inward.
Uses --pu-progress with the pu prefix to avoid variable collisions when
both components live in the same composition.
Designed to chain: zoom INTO a card in scene 1, unzoom OUT of it in
scene 2 to reveal a fresh grid underneath.
Includes demo compositions, registry manifests, and catalog pages.

Caption components are overlays — their root element should not
intercept pointer events, allowing clicks to pass through to the
underlying composition content in Studio.
Replace opaque backgrounds (#0a0a0a, #000, #000000) with transparent
on both html/body and the composition root div for all 15 caption
components. Captions are overlays — opaque backgrounds cover the
underlying video when loaded as sub-compositions.
Timeline locking:
- Add data-timeline-locked attribute support — fully disables move,
trim-start, and trim-end in Studio for clips that carry this attr
- Runtime propagates the attribute from inner composition root to host
element so component authors control it from their HTML
- All 15 caption components in the registry now carry the attribute
Font fix:
- Extract <link rel="stylesheet"> and <link rel="preconnect"> from
sub-composition <head> alongside existing <style>/<script> extraction
- Fixes caption components (and any sub-comp using Google Fonts via
<link> tags) losing their font-family when loaded as sub-compositions
- Applied in both runtime (compositionLoader) and compiler
(inlineSubCompositions) paths
Catalog preview script (scripts/generate-catalog-previews.ts) uses demo.html
as the component entry point. Missing file caused the Render catalog previews
job to fail with "Item not found".
Adds a Blocks tab to the Studio left sidebar with the full 78-item registry
catalog (58 blocks + 20 components). Users can browse by category, search by
title/description, preview CDN-hosted poster thumbnails with video-on-hover,
and install items on-demand with one click or drag-to-timeline.
Core changes:
- BlockCategory type + resolveBlockCategory() for 7 categories (Captions, VFX,
Transitions, Effects, Social, Data, Scenes)
- Registry API routes: GET /api/registry/blocks (catalog) + POST install
- StudioApiAdapter extended with listRegistryCatalog + installRegistryBlock
- Vite adapter reads from disk; CLI adapter fetches from GitHub (24h cache)
- BlockParam interface + params on 6 blocks for future parameter controls
Studio UI:
- 4th sidebar tab "Blocks" with responsive grid, category pills, search bar
- BlockCard: CDN poster thumbnail, video autoplay on hover, duration + WebGL badges
- On-demand install: blocks append as sub-compositions on timeline; components
overlay at start=0 spanning full duration with transparent background patching
- TIMELINE_BLOCK_MIME drag-and-drop to timeline
- BlockParamsPanel (Phase 3 scaffold) auto-opens for parameterized blocks
Registry manifests:
- All 58 blocks backfilled with preview: { video, poster } CDN URLs
- All 20 components normalized to object format + poster URLs added
- 6 blocks annotated with params (Liquid Glass/Background, Portal, Chart,
Logo Outro, Magnetic)
- flowchart-vertical preview generated and uploaded to CDN
