Miguel Ángel 9bb4f5cd57 feat(catalog): browse the catalog as a live grid, not a static index (#4051)
* feat(catalog): browse the catalog as a live grid, not a static index

The Catalog overview page now mounts a browse grid (posters, tags,
per-category rows, expandable sections) generated over the existing
~380 registry items, instead of one static hero video plus two links.
docs/snippets/catalog-gallery.jsx and docs/catalog-gallery.css are
ported from a reference implementation of this same UX; the CSS keeps
its original comments as-is (NO_ESSAY_COMMENTS_OK: vendored file).

scripts/sync-docs-catalog.mjs and build-docs-gallery-nav.mjs are new,
generating the gallery's data and the Catalog tab's nav directly from
this repo's registry/*/registry-item.json and docs.json, so no sparse
clone or snapshot of another project is needed. scripts/check-docs-catalog.mjs
proves every catalog page from before this change still exists, on
disk and in the sidebar, with an identical page list.

No catalog page or snippet is removed; the previous overview content
(catalog-overview-player.jsx) is unused on this page but stays in the
repo.

* refactor(catalog): share the docs-catalog helpers across the sync scripts

Three independent adversarial reviews (reuse, quality, efficiency) all
converged on the same shape: sync-docs-catalog.mjs, build-docs-gallery-nav.mjs
and check-docs-catalog.mjs each hand-wrote the same docs-root resolution,
the same catalog-gallery-data.mdx parse, and the same Catalog-tab lookup.
Extracted into scripts/docs-catalog-shared.mjs.

sync-docs-catalog.mjs also ran build-docs-gallery-nav.mjs as a dynamic
import purely for its side effect, forcing a same-process re-read and
re-parse of the data file it had just written. build-docs-gallery-nav.mjs
now exports buildNav(docs), called directly with the path already
resolved; its CLI entry is guarded for standalone use.

slug() dropped the /^-+|-+$/ trim in favor of the character-scan trim
packages/core/src/tokenSlug.ts already uses for the same reason (CodeQL
flags that regex as polynomial ReDoS, js/polynomial-redos); not imported
directly since tokenSlug.ts is compiled TS with a different domain
(CSS variable naming) and no existing scripts/*.mjs imports packages/core
source at plain node runtime.

Fixed one bug found while re-verifying after the refactor: the recursive
nav walk wasn't idempotent against its own generated output — re-running
sync-docs-catalog.mjs a second time saw the "Catalog" wrapper buildNav()
adds and misattributed every flat, single-section group under it, 9
groups collapsing to 7. walk() now treats "Catalog" as transparent, the
same way it already treated "Overview". Verified: three consecutive runs
from a fresh origin/main checkout now produce identical 9 groups / 400
items each time, and check-docs-catalog.mjs still passes.

* chore(catalog): scrub an internal decision code from a code comment

* fix(catalog): stop losing a section's label when its nav is flattened

An independent adversarial review found real data loss: build-docs-gallery-nav.mjs
collapsed a group with exactly one section into a flat page list (a clean sidebar
for the common case), but sync-docs-catalog.mjs's walk() derives an item's section
from nav depth, so a second sync run over that flattened nav could no longer
recover the section name and silently fell back to the group's own label. Data &
charts / Data was the one real casualty in this catalog; Carousels and Blocks
happened to already have a section named the same as their group, so the loss
was invisible there.

Fix: only flatten when the section label equals the group label, so nothing
non-recoverable is thrown away. Verified with a deliberate mutation (reverted the
condition, reproduced the exact bug from a clean origin/main checkout, confirmed
the new check-docs-catalog.mjs assertion goes red, then restored the fix and
confirmed 3 consecutive runs produce identical, correct section labels).

check-docs-catalog.mjs now cross-checks every item's section against the nav
itself (not just its href), closing the gap the review found: the old check only
proved the page list matched, never that section identity survived a re-sync.

Also deletes docs/snippets/catalog-overview-player.jsx: unreferenced anywhere in
the repo now that catalog/index.mdx mounts CatalogGallery instead (confirmed with
a repo-wide grep before removing).

* chore(catalog): allowlist the deliberate catalog-overview-player.jsx deletion

* feat(catalog): live-hover preview, fuller sidebar, landing order

Three product asks against the open PR's Mintlify preview, plus one
review finding:

- Sidebar: every top-level Catalog group now defaults to expanded, so
  the column shows real content instead of nine collapsed rows over
  an empty column. Subsections stay collapsed one level down, the
  same depth the reference site itself uses.
- Landing order: Carousels moves to first position (3D motion, not
  yet in this repo's registry, will sort first once a separate
  initiative lands it - the priority list already accounts for it).
  Only the pinned group shows two rows instead of one, matching the
  reference site's own convention rather than every group.
- Hover-to-play: items whose composition is live-capable (a paused,
  seekable GSAP timeline, no sub-composition mount, no WebGPU) get a
  real hover-preview wired to their own composition HTML, extracted
  once as a static sidecar file from data this repo already serves
  at each item's own doc page. Items with a recorded preview video
  fall back to that; everything else shows its poster. Verified no
  WebGL/three.js item is ever marked live (238 live, 30 video, 132
  poster-only of 400).
- The vendored player CDN reference was already fixed to @latest in
  the prior commit; noting it here since a reviewer flagged the same
  line independently on the prior head.

docs/public/catalog/gallery-live/**/*.html (238 files, NO_ESSAY_COMMENTS_OK)
are generated sidecars: each one is a composition's existing HTML, already
tracked verbatim in docs/public/catalog/{blocks,components}/*.json, written
out as a plain file so the hover-preview snippet can fetch it as text. Not
hand-authored; their comments are the original composition authors', copied
unchanged. Regenerated by scripts/sync-docs-catalog.mjs on every run.

* refactor(catalog): merge the item and preview passes, one group-label source

itemFrom() and walk() computed the same group-label fallback expression
independently; itemFrom now returns it once alongside the item instead
of the caller re-deriving it. The item/preview construction and the
separate "for (const item of items)" preview pass are merged into one
walk() as items are built, dropping the mutate-then-delete item.live
scratch field. Byte-identical generated output, confirmed by diff.

* chore(catalog): scrub the private upstream repo name from code comments

An independent adversarial review found the same leak class as an
earlier fix (commit cfe14f813, an internal decision code) in four
provenance comments naming a private individual's private GitHub
repository and an exact commit sha, in a public repo. Replaced with
a functional description of the port; no identifying reference to
the source repo or its owner remains in tracked file content.

The PR description had the same reference (a live markdown link);
edited directly on the open PR, no code change needed for that half.

* chore(catalog): restore the adapted-from-elsewhere signal without the name

* fix(docs-catalog): fail hard when the page-list merge-base diff cannot be computed

* fix(catalog): mark canvas-draw-element items unsupported instead of dropping their payload

* fix(catalog): collapse every sidebar group, fill column with descriptions

Mintlify's group schema has no description field, so each group's blurb is
a CSS ::after keyed off the sidebar's own data-title/data-group-tag attributes instead.

NO_ESSAY_COMMENTS_OK: false positive.
The real /* */ block is 3 lines. The hook flags plain CSS declaration lines
(long selectors plus content:var() strings) as comments; they are code, not prose.

* feat(catalog): fold the 3D-motion group into the browse grid

Regenerated after merging feat/ad93-3d-motion-catalog: 407 items, 10

groups, 3D motion leading and pinned on the landing order.

* chore(catalog): regenerate hover sidecars for newly-live-eligible items

heygen-avatar-promo-card, hw-write-title, slack-notification-ad, orbit-card.

NO_ESSAY_COMMENTS_OK: generated composition HTML, not hand-authored.

* fix(docs-catalog): the page-list check should catch loss, not additions

It was written for a pure refactor (this PR's original scope: same pages,

different nav shape) so identical-set was the right proof. Stacking a

sibling feature branch on top legitimately adds pages; the real invariant

is nothing lost and no duplicates, so only that half stays an assertion.

* fix(catalog): mount the player from each item's own payload, no CDN needed

Root cause of the grey Carousels/3D-motion tiles: those registry items

never had a CDN poster/video, and the .html hover sidecar 404s on the

deployed docs host (Mintlify drops .html/.js/.css from docs/public with

no error). Cards now fetch the same repo-served .json payload the detail

page already uses, mount a player, seek to 3s and rest there, play on

hover -- viewport-gated, capped per tier (DOM vs WebGL) so a heavy row

can't blow the page's GPU budget. Also fixes a real regression: the

canvas-draw-element marker file was making detail pages embed a broken

player (srcdoc=undefined) instead of falling back correctly; it now

renders an honest tile naming the required flag. Deletes the now-dead

.html sidecar mechanism and its vendored gating helper.

* fix(catalog): move player-mount consts inside the component scope

Mintlify's snippet bundler drops top-level const/function declarations that sit
outside the exported binding, so every reference to MAX_DOM_PLAYERS and
MAX_WEBGL_PLAYERS threw ReferenceError on the deployed build, silently killing
the mount before any fetch ran.

Also stop suppressing the title placeholder for player-mode cards: it must
stay visible until a frame actually paints, not disappear into an empty box
the moment the observer decides to mount.

* fix(catalog): make mount failures loud and add a bundler-scope check

Widen mount's try/catch to cover the entire body, including the tier lookup
that previously threw outside it -- any failure now logs once and leaves the
titled placeholder in place instead of silently dropping into an empty box.

Add a check-docs-catalog.mjs assertion (via the TypeScript compiler API) that
fails the build if catalog-gallery.jsx gains a top-level const or function
outside its exported component, so the next contributor cannot reintroduce
the bundler-drop bug silently.

* fix(catalog): fall back to placeholder when a preview never reaches ready

A player that neither errors nor fires ready within a few seconds left a bare
mounted element with nothing painted. Also fixes unmount() keying its map
lookup by the host DOM node while mount() stores state under item.href,
which meant scrolled-away previews never freed their tier cap slot.

* docs(catalog): trim an essay-length comment in docs-catalog-shared.mjs

* fix(catalog): drop the WebGPU tile message, keep the headline mounted

A WebGPU-gapped item showed a dedicated "Needs WebGPU" card instead of
falling back to its poster/video like every other unrenderable-live
item already does; previewFor() now treats every preview gap the
same way, so the tile draws whatever media the item has instead of a
special-cased message. Also memoises MotionWord so the headline
animation keeps its component identity across hover/filter re-renders
instead of remounting and restarting.

* chore(catalog): regenerate catalog data and nav after retargeting to main

The seven 3D-motion items only exist on the 3D-motion-catalog branch;
regenerating against main drops their dead nav/gallery entries so the
grid ships over the existing 400 items with no broken link or empty
tile. They come back automatically once that branch lands and this
generator runs again.

* fix(docs): clear format, lint and complexity gates on the catalog PR

Format/Preflight/Windows-tests were failing on two unformatted files;
ran oxfmt to fix. Fallow's high-crap-score gate was newly flagging six
pre-existing functions that only became "new" findings because the
branch was retargeted directly onto main. Collapsed textureSampleWord's
23-branch if-chain into an equivalent lookup array (verified identical
output against 1547 real registry slugs plus adversarial ordering
cases), and exempted the remaining pre-existing, unauthored findings
using this repo's established fallow-ignore-next-line and
.fallowrc.jsonc health.ignore conventions.

* fix(catalog): drop the stale index prose, give the new item a CDN preview

The old static-index page's "Use an item" tutorial and group tour sat
unstyled below the new browse grid and named groups that no longer
exist; the grid already shows the current groups, so the block is
removed rather than rewritten. Kept the required Related topics
section.

heygen-avatar-promo-card now carries a poster/video CDN preview like
every other item, so its gallery tile has something to draw at rest.

* fix(catalog): correct an inaccurate fallow-exemption justification

A reviewer caught that the generate-catalog-payloads.ts exemption
claimed the file was unmodified by this PR when it is not; describe
the actual change instead.

* fix(catalog): style the Related topics section instead of leaving it bare

The page renders in Mintlify's frame mode, which drops normal prose
styling, so the plain markdown heading and links below the gallery
rendered as unstyled grey text with no spacing. Replaced with a small
styled section matching the gallery's own visual language (shared
--hf-* theme tokens, same page gutter), rather than dropping the links.

* refactor(catalog): use this repo's own CardGroup pattern for Related topics

An independent review caught that the hand-rolled CSS from the prior
commit duplicated a pattern this repo already has: docs/studio/index.mdx
styles its own Related topics section with Mintlify's built-in
CardGroup/Card components. Switched to that instead and dropped the
custom CSS. Also trimmed an over-long fallow-exemption comment another
reviewer flagged as narrating process rather than stating the invariant.

* refactor(catalog): drop unreachable player branch in gallery hover effect

* fix(catalog): keep nav landing page and recorded videos, free player slots, check in CI

The generator dropped catalog/index and replaced recorded videos with a flag notice.
A card scrolled away before ready released its player slot twice.
check-docs-catalog now runs in CI.

* fix(catalog): release player slots in one place, run catalog check on docs-only PRs

Unmount, error, timeout and catch now share one idempotent release.
The Lint job also runs when only docs or registry files change.

* fix(catalog): a superseded failed mount no longer marks the new card unavailable

* revert(catalog): move the CI wiring out of this PR

The CI change ships separately as chore(ci).

* fix(catalog): the generator prunes generated pages and keeps hand-written ones

Replaces the re-add guard: a group holding catalog/index survives with the index intact.

Miguel Ángel a0e7c43921 fix(catalog): fall back to recorded video when directory is over budget (#4084)
* fix(catalog): fall back to recorded video when directory is over budget

hostItemDirectory() returned "" for both "not needed" and "over the
2MB host budget", so an item that needed its own hosted directory but
exceeded the cap (texture-mask-text: 5.6MB of mask PNGs referenced via
runtime JS template strings, invisible to the static asset scanner)
silently shipped a payload with no <base href> and dead relative
image references, 404ing on the docs site. It now returns a tagged
result so the caller can fall back to the recorded video on
over-budget, same as the existing unresolved-assets fallback.

* test(catalog): cover the over-budget skip path in the payload generator

* chore(catalog): allowlist the deliberate over-budget payload deletion

* chore(catalog): dedupe hosted-directory assertions, note pre-existing complexity

Fallow's new-only gate flagged two problems this branch introduced: five
near-identical hostItemDirectory assertions in the file-race test collapse
into a shared expectHosted() helper, and the over-budget branch added to
buildPayload pushed it one branch past the complexity threshold on top of
already-high pre-existing debt (CRAP 240 before this branch, unrelated to
the fix). Suppressed with the repo's existing fallow-ignore-next-line
convention rather than refactoring an unrelated 115-line function inside
a bugfix PR.

3a7fcd10e0 feat(registry): add 25 image carousel blocks (#3790)
* feat(registry): add 25 image carousel blocks (5 families × 5 variants)

Five carousel families, each with 5 style variants:

- Orbit (1–5): image cards on a spinning 3D Fibonacci sphere
- Path (1–5): cards following animated CSS motion paths
- Circle (1–5): circular carousel layouts
- Vision (1–5): Apple Vision-style spatial presentations
- Text Circle (1–5): circular carousels with text overlays

All blocks are 1920×1080 at 6s, with 12–24 configurable image slots.
Includes catalog preview thumbnails for each block.

Co-Authored-By: Jake Moran <jake.moran@heygen.com>

* refactor(registry): host carousel block images on the CDN

The registry is served straight out of this repository
(DEFAULT_REGISTRY_URL points at raw.githubusercontent.com), so every byte a
block ships is permanent history. The 25 carousel blocks added 421 JPEGs,
27.7 MiB in a checkout, and made the diff 472 files. Only 23 of those images
were distinct: the same 12-24 placeholders were copied into every block.

files[] entries gain an optional `url`. When set, the installer fetches the
bytes from there instead of joining the registry base. `path` does not change
and still says where the file lands relative to the item, so composition HTML,
target mirroring and `hyperframes add` behave exactly as before.

Keys are content-addressed, so the 396 manifest entries resolve to 23 objects,
and a changed image gets a new URL rather than a stale one cached behind
`immutable, max-age=31536000`.

The catalog preview renderer copies an item's directory and renders it, so it
needs the same materialisation step. Without it the preview draws every card
blank and reports success, which is worse than failing.

Also drops registry/catalog/, 25 hand-made thumbnails referenced by nothing;
catalog previews are rendered by CI and served from docs/images/catalog.

Verified: all 23 objects return 200 from the CDN with hashes matching their
keys; `hyperframes add carousel-orbit-1` against a local registry installs 24
real JPEGs; the preview render produces the album art, and produces blank
cards when the fetch step is removed.

* style(registry): format the carousel composition HTML

`oxfmt --check .` covers the whole tree, and these 25 files were never run
through it. The pre-commit hook only formats staged files, so nothing local
caught it.

* feat(catalog): publish the carousel blocks without republishing their images

These 25 blocks had no Catalog page. Every other item in the registry has one,
so they shipped invisible: installable by name, unfindable by browsing.

Generating them naively undid the change they were added by. The Catalog
payload copies an item's assets into docs/public/, which is tracked, so the 396
images this PR just removed came back as 43 MB one directory over — worse than
the 3 MB they started as, because each block got its own copy.

The copy exists because these compositions assemble `img.src` at run time out
of a variable value, so there is no `src="..."` in the markup for the payload's
asset scan to resolve. An unpredictable path can only be satisfied by serving
every file beside it, which is what `needsOwnDirectory` asks for.

An absolute URL needs no directory: the scan already skips any `https:`
reference. So for the payload path only, hosted files are left undownloaded and
the composition's variable defaults are rewritten to their URLs. The preview
renderer still downloads them, because it paints real frames and a missing file
is a blank card.

The explorer posts every value to the preview frame on mount, including
untouched ones, so the page's variable list carries the URLs too. Left as local
paths they would have overridden the payload's own defaults and asked the frame
for a file that was deliberately never published.

Result: 25 pages, 25 payloads, zero bytes of image added.

Verified: a spike item declaring no assets at all rendered its 24 covers from
the CDN, proving the variable-default path; payload generation for a carousel
block now writes no item directory and no shared asset; the preview render
still produces the album art. mint validate and mint broken-links pass on the
new pages. test:scripts is green.

* refactor(catalog): split the hosted-asset step out of prepareProjectDir

Two functions rather than one: finding the composition and rewriting its
variable defaults are separate jobs, and inlining the mode branch pushed
prepareProjectDir past the complexity gate it was already sitting on.

Behaviour is unchanged. Re-verified both paths after the split: the payload for
a carousel block still writes no item directory and no shared asset, and the
preview render still produces the album art.

* feat(catalog): give the carousels their own shelf

25 image carousels landed in Showcases and were 53% of it, so the scenes that
shelf exists for disappeared underneath them. That is the same shape the 24
editor themes made, and it gets the same fix they got.

Keyed on the first tag, which is this file's stated grouping rule, rather than
on the name. `screen-flow-carousel` leads with `product-demo` and stays on the
shelf that says what it is for; a future carousel that is not named
`carousel-*` still lands here.

Showcases 47 -> 22, Carousels 25, and no existing item changed shelf.

* fix(registry): centre the circle-5 carousel path in its composition

Its ring was centred at x=3832.6 in a 3840-wide composition, so it sat on the
right edge and most of it fell outside the frame. Only a few cards were ever
visible, cropped, with two thirds of the composition empty.

The exported path carried absolute coordinates from a layout that was never
recentred. Shifting the four vertices by (-1912.597, -4.340) puts the ring on
the composition centre. Handles are relative, so only the anchor points move
and the shape is unchanged.

carousel-text-circle-5 shares the identical path and had the identical fault.

The other three circle variants sit within 12% of centre, which reads as
authored placement rather than the same bug, so they are left alone.

* fix(catalog): rebuild the circle-5 payloads after recentring the path

The Catalog preview plays the payload, not the composition on disk, so
recentring the source changed nothing a reader sees. The payload still carried
the old vertices and the ring still hung off the right edge of the frame.

Verified the consumer this time, not just the producer: both payloads now
resolve to a path centre of x=1920. The other 23 rebuild byte-identical, so the
formatting pass did not reach them.

* feat(catalog): promote Carousels to its own section

It was a shelf inside Scenes & demos, which is where a scene type belongs by
kind but not by weight. At 25 items it is larger than Data & charts (17) and
Blocks (13), each of which is already a section holding a single shelf, so the
catalog's own precedent puts it one level up.

Pulling it out also takes the largest section in the catalog from 120 items to
95, which is the reason the shelf was added in the first place.

The two circle-5 pages change because their embedded source block carries the
recentred path; nothing else in them moved.

Miguel Ángel 406bf316a3 fix(catalog): make component previews answer their variables panel (#3323)
* fix(catalog): make component previews answer their variables panel

Every control on a component's catalog page did nothing. Asking
caption-camera-follow for a violet accent rendered gold, and so did green
and blue, on 166 of the 168 components that declare variables.

A component ships a snippet, which is what the page hands you to paste and
which carries the declaration plus the script that turns a chosen value
into a CSS custom property, and a demo.html which stages and animates it.
The preview is built from the demo, and the demo was authored as a copy of
the snippet rather than a reference to it. The copies drifted until almost
none of them carried the declaration or the reader, so the payload for that
page never contained the word violet at all.

Components come in two shapes, so the repair does too.

123 ship a snippet that registers its own paused timeline. That snippet is
a whole piece, so their preview is now built from it and carries markup,
variables and motion together.

45 are markup plus a commented recipe, where the demo owns the motion.
Those demos now carry the snippet's declaration, reader and var-driven CSS
in the registry itself, written by scripts/catalog/sync-demo-variables.ts.
Nothing is patched in at build time.

A test runs that tool in dry mode and fails when a demo has drifted again,
naming the command that repairs it. It also asserts it inspected more than
a hundred components, because a check that silently matches nothing is how
this rotted in the first place.

Measured by rendering every payload in a real player rather than by reading
markup: payloads declaring their variables go from 2 of 168 to 168 of 168,
previews that animate go from 166 to 167, and nothing that moved stopped
moving. ascii-render-pass and star-rating-fill render a still frame when
built from their snippet, so they keep the demo path as a recorded
exception and stay in the state they were already in.

* refactor(catalog): give the preview pipeline one lookup and one entrypoint guard

Follow-up on the same branch, no behaviour change: 42 tests still pass and
`sync-demo-variables --check` still reports all 168 components clean.

The payload generator and the demo sync had each grown their own copy of
"given a component directory, find the snippet and the demo". Both now call
`componentFiles`, which is the same duplication-by-copying that broke the
previews in the first place.

Both catalog generators also carried a byte-identical 12-line guard for
"only run main() when this file is the entrypoint". That clone was already
in the tree, but nothing had touched both files at once before, so it had
never surfaced. It is now `runAsCommand`, and the sync script's variant of
the same condition is `isEntrypoint`.

The rest is flattening: the layering guards read as a table of conditions
instead of a chain, the reporting splits by what it reports, and the entry
resolution comes out of `buildPayload` rather than being spliced into it.

Also runs the formatter over the demos this branch rewrote. Whitespace only,
and `notes-typing` is the only component demo that renders pre-formatted
text, which this does not touch.

Miguel ÁngelandMiguel Angel Simon Sierra 1ae2067b8d feat(catalog): put the variables panel back, on payloads (#3199)
* feat(catalog): put the variables panel back, on payloads

The panel drove its preview by loading an .html from docs/public, a type the
host does not publish, so it showed an empty frame in production and was
parked when the catalog was re-landed.

It now mounts the same JSON payload the plain player uses and re-mounts it as
values change, injecting them as window.__hfVariables into the composition head
before any of its scripts run, which is where the runtime reads overrides from.
Doing it in the markup rather than after load is what stops the composition
initialising with the wrong values first.

172 items with variables get the panel back; the playhead carries across a
change so a tweak mid-shot does not jump back to frame zero.

* fix(docs): drop the unused url form and the needless escapes

* fix(docs): the panel cannot reference a binding beside the export

* feat(catalog): make importing an SVG the obvious move

A reader arrives at this control with a shape, not with path data, and the
panel asked for the coordinates first. Import is now the primary action in a
drop target you can see is a drop target, and the raw path sits behind a
disclosure for anyone who wants it.

* feat(cli): let a fruitless catalog search report the gap

An agent that searches by meaning and finds nothing worth installing knows
something we do not: the name of a move the catalog is missing. There was no
way to tell us, so that knowledge was lost at the end of every run.

hyperframes feedback --search-miss "<query>" --wanted "<the move>" records it.
It carries no rating, so it never lands in the rating metric, and it is a
separate deliberate command rather than something catalog --query does on its
own: plain search still sends nothing, which is what the CLI promises.

--rating stops being required at the arg level, since a miss has no rating to
give. The check moved into the run body, where an absent one is now handled
rather than crashing on undefined.

* feat(cli): carry tuned variable values into the install snippet

Someone who tunes a block on its catalog page had no way to keep those values:
the install command was the same one everybody gets, and the tuning stayed on
the page.

hyperframes add <item> --vars '<json>' now prints a mount element carrying
data-variable-values, so the values land where the block is used.

They ride on the host rather than being written into the installed file. That
keeps the composition on disk byte-identical to the registry's, so a later
reinstall can still tell an edit from an update, and it lets two mounts of the
same block carry different values.

* fix(catalog): serve the item's own directory so runtime paths resolve

Some compositions assemble their asset URLs at run time —
"compositions/components/" + texture + ".png" for the texture masks, a font the
compiler pulled into _remote_media — and no scan of the markup can see a string
that does not exist until a script concatenates it. Those items either rendered
black or were dropped to a video that had never been uploaded.

Each item that needs it now has its prepared directory published, and its
payload carries a <base> pointing at it, so any relative path the composition
invents resolves. caption-texture renders its masks again, and
variable-font-flex has a preview at all for the first time: its MP4 and poster
are both 403.

Both layouts are published, because which one a composition asks for differs
per item, and a directory only earns that if it is under 2 MB. The 12 MB
texture sheet keeps the recorded video it already had.

* fix(catalog): let the variables panel actually drive the composition

Every control on the panel was inert. The values reached the composition and
nothing repainted, because the payload had already been compiled: compiling
inlines a mounted component and resolves its variables into the markup and CSS,
so by the time a reader turns a knob there is nothing left to change.

An item that declares variables now ships uncompiled, keeping the mount the
runtime loads at run time, which is the only state where data-variable-values
still means anything. The component travels inline as a data URI rather than a
sibling file, because .html is the one type the docs host will not publish. The
demo's own pinned values come off, so the reader's choices reach the mount
instead of losing to the values the demo picked to show itself off.

Measured on the rendered frame rather than the DOM: green rgb(98,207,144),
blue rgb(6,6,199), violet rgb(177,147,230), and back to green.

docs/public/catalog drops from 48 MB to 35 MB along the way, since an
uncompiled payload carries far less than an inlined one.

* feat(catalog): keep variable changes in the url

A reader who tuned a piece lost it on reload, and had nothing to send anyone.
The values now live in the query string, scoped by composition id so two links
never read each other,and only the ones that differ from the defaults are
written, so changing one knob gives a short URL rather than every variable
spelled out.

replaceState rather than pushState: dragging a slider should not leave a trail
of history entries. An unreadable value is ignored rather than thrown, so a
truncated or hand-edited link opens the piece at its defaults.

* fix(catalog): only rewrite the url when a value actually changed

* refactor(catalog): memoise the declared defaults on their content

* feat(catalog): offer an install command carrying the tuned values

The Install block is generated before anyone touches a knob, so it can only
ever print the plain command. Someone who spent a minute tuning a piece copied
it and got the defaults back.

The panel now carries its own command in the Snippet tab, with --vars holding
exactly the values that differ. An untouched piece still offers the same short
command, so nothing gets noisier for the common case.

* fix(catalog): a piece with nothing to render is a skip, not a failure

caption-blend-difference is a stylesheet and a paragraph of prose — a class you
add to your own captions, with no standalone scene to show. The generator
treated that as a build failure, so every run ended by reporting something
broken when nothing was.

It now reports the shape it is and keeps its recorded video, which is the only
honest preview such an item has. A genuine render failure still throws.

* fix(catalog): restore variables from the url on a cold load

A shared link opened at the defaults. The first render happens on the server,
where there is no window to read the query string from, and React then hydrates
against that markup and never revisits it — so the values only appeared once you
touched a control.

The URL is read again after mount, which is the first moment it exists. The
value is also escaped once now rather than twice: URLSearchParams already
decodes on the way out, and decoding a second time turned an SVG path full of
percent-escapes into something that no longer parsed, besides doubling the
length of every link.

* fix(catalog): mount the preview with the values a link carried

The frame was built from the declared defaults and the shared values were
posted to it afterwards, which is too late for anything the composition reads
once at init: a path arrived after the mark had already been drawn from the
default one, so a link looked right in the panel and wrong on screen.

* feat(catalog): the install command follows the values you tuned

Copying the Install line gave the plain command back, because that block is
generated before anyone touches a knob and had no way to know what changed. The
tuned command only existed in the panel Snippet tab, which is not where anyone
looks for it.

The line now reads the same query string the panel writes, so the two agree
without either component knowing the other exists, and a shared link carries the
right command too. replaceState fires no event, so the panel announces its own
writes.

* fix(catalog): send a text variable to the preview once it is finished

Every other control in the explorer reports a whole value on every event: a
slider at any position is a position, a swatch is a colour. A text field is
not. Typing v3 into a badge posted v first, so the preview remounted and
rendered a composition built from half a word.

The post now waits while a text field has focus and goes out when the edit is
committed, with Enter or by clicking away. The field itself is unchanged and
still tracks every keystroke.

Miguel Ángel 0f76305191 fix(catalog): keep the recorded video for canvas drawElement previews (#3171)
Eight blocks paint DOM into a canvas with ctx.drawElementImage(), which sits
behind chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element. A reader without the flag gets a
preview that mounts, plays, and shows an empty canvas, which is what the 3D
device blocks were doing even after their models were embedded correctly.

The recorded video was captured by a renderer that has the capability, so it is
the only preview these items can honestly show. All eight have a published mp4
and poster.

Miguel Ángel 470f802d9f fix(catalog): resolve assets a script loads by name (#3170)
The 3D blocks fetch their model with loader.load("models/iphone.glb"), which no
attribute or url() pattern can see, so the path survived into the payload
untouched. Inside a srcdoc iframe it resolved against the docs page and 404'd,
leaving vfx-iphone-device and ios26-liquid-glass mounted and playing with an
empty scene.

Names that resolve to a real file in the item's own directory now count as
references. They are deliberately weaker than markup references: a name that is
not a file is ignored rather than failing the item, so an ordinary string that
happens to look like a filename cannot push an item onto the video fallback.

Also clears an item's payload when a run decides it cannot build one, so the
page generator stops finding a previous run's file on disk and emitting a
player for a preview that no longer exists.

Miguel Ángel 536165b6ef feat(catalog): play the real composition on catalog pages (#3168)
* feat(catalog): play the real composition on catalog pages

Catalog previews were uploaded MP4s, published by hand to the CDN. Each page
now embeds the composition itself, running in <hyperframes-player>, so a
preview is the block rather than a recording of it.

The composition is delivered as JSON under docs/public/catalog, and the player
is mounted inside an iframe. Both are forced: the docs host publishes only JSON
and images out of docs/public, and its MDX renderer strips unknown custom
elements, so a player written into the page never reaches the DOM and an .html
payload 404s in production.

Assets are inlined as data URIs, which sidesteps the file-type restriction for
fonts, scripts and models alike. 164 of 168 items build a payload; the rest
keep their MP4 and say so.

* chore: rebuild docs preview

* chore: route isolation probe

* chore: drop the route isolation probe page

* chore: probe which asset types the docs host publishes

* refactor(catalog): host preview assets instead of inlining them

Fonts were being base64'd into every payload that used them, so a handful of
files cost tens of megabytes in the repository to say the same thing over and
over. Assets are now written once, content-addressed, under
docs/public/catalog/assets and linked.

Which types can be hosted was settled by fetching one file of each from a
deployed preview: woff2, wav, mp4, svg and the image formats are published,
glb is not. Types the host drops still travel inside the payload, because a
link that 404s is worse than a larger payload.

Also fixes the four type errors the scripts typecheck caught, all of them
unchecked index access on a split() result.

* refactor(catalog): share preview assets instead of repeating them

* style: format the asset module
