* fix(media-use): repoint the dead videogen tier, demote past unusable models

`LOCAL_MODELS.videogen`'s `large` tier named `dgrauet/ltx-2.3-mlx-bf16`, which
returns HTTP 401 and cannot be downloaded at all. It was not a dormant entry:
`rankedByPreference` sorts by descending `needs.ramMB` when no `rank` is set,
so the largest fitting tier is tried FIRST by design. Any machine clearing
32 GB *available* RAM selected the dead entry, `ltxVideoGenerate` caught the
failure and returned a bare `null`, and since `ltx.local` is last in
`["heygen.video", "ltx.local"]` and network providers are skipped under
`--local-only` (`registry.mjs:206`), local video generation failed outright
instead of falling back to the tier that works.

It survived review because the table landed with "live verification on a 24GB
M-series Mac" - and a 24 GB machine cannot select a 32 GB tier, so that entry
was unreachable on the only machine that validated it. The unit fixtures
inherit the same ceiling (`fittingSpecs` is 20000MB), so every existing test
exercised the medium tier alone.

Two changes:

1. Repoint to `dgrauet/ltx-2.3-mlx-q8` (reachable) and correct `sizeMB` from
   45000 to 28800. Measured against the HF API: the q8 repo totals 87.5 GB,
   and the registry's own targeted `--include` subset is 28.76 GB. That
   matches the sibling q4 entry's convention (`sizeMB: 20000` vs a measured
   19.48 GB subset), so 45000 was wrong under either reading. `--low-ram` is
   added because the entry's own note calls it required at this tier's 32 GB
   floor, and the invoke omitted it.

2. A repoint alone is one bad URL from a repeat, so add the missing recovery.
   `selectModelLadder` returns every fitting model best-first;
   `selectModel`'s pick is now defined as that list's head. All three sites
   that previously selected exactly one model and failed terminally walk the
   ladder instead, demoting past a tier that cannot run here - gated weights,
   runner off PATH, an OOM at a tier that nominally fits:

   - `ltx-video-provider.mjs` (videogen, the reported failure)
   - `mflux-provider.mjs` (imagegen - same shape, and its 32 GB/64 GB tiers
     are equally unverifiable on a 24 GB machine)
   - `local-run.mjs` (tts/asr/upscale - `fish-speech` missing should still
     get you Kokoro)

   Every demotion is logged rather than silent, so a quietly smaller model is
   never mistaken for the tier the machine nominally qualified for.

Also fixes the `install` string both videogen entries share: it ended at
`uv sync --all-extras`, which leaves the entry point in `.venv/bin`, so the
"`ltx-2-mlx` not on PATH" hint named a command that following the instruction
would not put on PATH.

The q8 tier is NOT live-verified - no 32 GB+ Apple Silicon machine was
available - and its notes say so. Shipping it unverified is safe precisely
because of change 2: a wrong tier now costs one failed attempt, not the whole
local path.

* fix(media-use): report the real videogen download size, disclose it, discard failed partials

Addresses review feedback on #3509 (CHANGES_REQUESTED at 90df164a), plus the
follow-on ask to tell the user what a download costs before they accept it.

1. `sizeMB` described a targeted `--include` subset that no run ever gets.
   Both videogen invokes pass a repo id to `--model`, and upstream
   `resolve_model_dir()` (`ltx_pipelines_mlx/utils/_orchestration.py:35-40`)
   calls `snapshot_download(repo)` with no `allow_patterns`, so the full repo
   lands regardless of what was pre-fetched. Corrected to measured repo
   totals: q8 87500 (87,511,991,375 B) and q4 59700 (59,686,429,583 B). q4 was
   wrong the same way at 20000, so both are fixed together rather than leaving
   one convention on each side.

   My earlier claim that 28800 "matches the sibling q4 entry's convention" was
   wrong in the way that matters: the convention itself described a subset the
   runner does not honor. The file's own comment already said "blind
   snapshot-downloads the lot (60 GB q4, 88 GB q8)" three lines above the
   fields that contradicted it, and the original report measured it too ("the
   q4 cache ended at 56 GB and q8 at 82 GB"), which reconciles exactly once
   read as GiB: 59.69 GB = 55.6 GiB, 87.51 GB = 81.5 GiB. So the download is
   the complete repo both times, not a partial fetch.

   Removed the `--include` recipe rather than repairing it: it is ineffective
   (the runner refetches at generate time) and insufficient (`--two-stage` is
   "dev model + CFG at half-res, upscale, distilled LoRA refine" per upstream's
   own help text, so it needs transformer-dev AND transformer-distilled AND
   spatial_upscaler_x2; `--distilled` needs an upscaler too). The q4 tier
   verified on a 24 GB Mac only worked BECAUSE the download is unfiltered.

2. Nothing told the user what they were agreeing to before a tool started
   pulling tens of GB. `describeDownload()` in `specs.mjs` names the size and
   the directory the weights land in, and checks free space with `statfs`
   against that directory rather than cwd, since the weights do not land in
   cwd. A tier that will not fit is still offered, with a plain statement that
   it will not fit: hiding it would make a machine that could free up space
   look like it has no large tier. Unknown free space reports as unknown, not
   as zero. Wired into both providers' install hints, the `runLocalModel`
   install payload (now carrying `sizeMB`), and `describeModelLadder`.

3. Each retry attempt mints its own timestamped temp path, so a partial
   artifact from a failed tier was orphaned rather than overwritten, and a
   lower tier then succeeding hid it. Both providers discard the partial before
   demoting, guarded so a file that cannot be removed never masks the generate
   failure it came from. Video is the material case: a partial mp4 is large.

   `local-run.mjs` is deliberately unchanged here. Its `out` is caller-provided
   and identical across attempts, so a partial is overwritten rather than
   orphaned, and unlinking a path the caller named would be a footgun. The rule
   the two providers follow is: clean up what you allocate.

Tests: 553/553 across `skills/**/*.test.mjs` (+15). New coverage pins the
cleanup (failed tier's partial removed, returned artifact survives, one discard
per attempt on the all-fail path, an unremovable partial still surfaces the
real failure) and the disclosure (cache-dir precedence, statfs walk-up to the
deepest existing ancestor, unknown-vs-zero, and the will-not-fit wording).
Every new guard mutation-tested: removing any one of them turns tests red.

Miguel Ángel b2fc18b2df fix(skills,lint): correct composition-contract claims the code contradicts (#3468)
The runtime absorbed a series of authoring mistakes over time and `runtime/init.ts`
says so in its own comments, but the skills kept teaching the old rules. Four of
them actively cost an agent a failing run: add `crossorigin` (lint rejects it
unconditionally), never build a timeline inside `async` (lint calls that the
documented contract), never `gsap.set` later-scene clips (two fixHints instruct
exactly that), and 12 copyable media snippets with no `id`, which render silent.

Corrected in every place each claim appeared, including `hyperframes-animation`,
three workflow scripts, the scaffolded project instructions, the CLI `docs`
command, and the public docs site: `data-track-index` is a Studio display lane
the render never reads, `class="clip"` is a layout convention rather than a
visibility requirement, timed elements may nest, the visibility window is
half-open, sub-composition host dimensions are backfilled, and the root-fill rule
applies only to the layered-composite path.

Behaviour changes, each backed by a render rather than by reading code:

- `timeline_registry_missing_init` deleted. The runtime creates the registry
  before any inline script; a composition without the guard line renders and
  animates correctly.
- `video_nested_in_timed_element` kept, message corrected. A rendered repro shows
  the nested-with-local-start case really does break, so the rule guards a real
  defect, but nothing is "FROZEN": the extractor ignores the wrapper's offset
  while visibility uses it, so the clip shows wrong frames and then vanishes.
- `mediaRenderIds` now stamps media whose source is a `<source>` child, closing a
  duplicate-id gap the old `[src]`-only selector left open.
- Stale messages fixed on `subcomposition_root_styled_by_class` and
  `deprecated_data_layer`.

`coreSkillContent.test.ts` pinned the literal sentence that made root
`data-start` look required, so it is narrowed to structure plus the regression it
genuinely catches.

Not covered, and flagged in the PR: the media global-vs-local start heuristic in
`runtime/init.ts` is the root cause behind the nested-video defect. Removing it
changes the meaning of existing compositions and needs its own deprecation.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 f0cc9b1a34 fix(skills): make the carve CLI work against the published core, and honour its own group invariant (#3416)
* fix(skills): make the carve CLI work against the published core, and honour its own group invariant

Two defects found by using the shipped feature end to end on a real project
rather than inside this repo.

**It could not load core at all.** `loadCore` resolved `./audio-carve` and
`./audio-fx` with `require.resolve`. The workspace manifest declares a `node`
condition, so that resolved fine here — but the PUBLISHED manifest
(`publishConfig.exports`) carries only `import` + `types`, so every consumer of
the released package got ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED for a package that ships
those files perfectly well. The script was broken everywhere except where it was
developed, and its error text blamed a missing/outdated package, which no
install can fix. It now keeps the project anchor and falls back to the manifest's
declared `import` target.

**It violated the invariant its own SKILL.md sets.** SKILL.md is explicit: "A
carve against more than one clip id is wrong. Group the clips and carve against
the group. This is an invariant, not a tip." The script wrote
`sources: voices.map((v) => v.id)` unconditionally, so every run against grouped
voices produced output that tripped the repo's own
`audio_carve_ungrouped_sources` lint rule, and a voice added to the group later
would silently play outside the carve's awareness. When every voice shares one
group it now records the group; mixed, partially grouped or ungrouped voices keep
their ids so the lint rule still fires on the case it is meant to catch.

`main()` moves behind an entry guard so the pure helper can be imported and
tested; `node carve.mjs` is unaffected (verified against a real composition).

Six tests, and the manifest hash is regenerated for the changed skill.

* fix(skills): run the carve CLI through symlinks, and keep the bed out of its own sources

Two blockers from review, both of the class this PR's first fix was about:
correct where it was developed, broken for the audience it ships to.

**The entry guard silently skipped `main()` through any symlinked path.**
`process.argv[1]` keeps the spelling the caller typed while `import.meta.url` is
derived from the realpath, because node resolves the main module's symlinks. So
the raw compare added to make the helpers importable turned the CLI into a no-op
that wrote nothing and exited 0. Reachable with no symlink of one's own: on macOS
`/tmp` is a link to `/private/tmp`, and `SKILL.md` documents the entry point as
`node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/carve.mjs`, so any install placed behind a link breaks
too. Reproduced against the published core by a reviewer, not only inferred.

Fixed by realpathing the left side. This repo already documents and solves the
same trap in three scripts (`frame-packets-core.mjs`, `preflight.mjs`,
`project-dir.mjs`); the canonical comment is carried over verbatim. A local copy
rather than an import, because skills install independently — `hyperframes-audio`
has no dependency on `hyperframes-core` being present.

**`carveSources` could make the bed its own carve source.** It decided from the
voices alone, so a bed sharing their group (`mix`) got `sources: ["mix"]` written
onto it. `resolveCarveSourceIds` expands a group id to every current member and
takes no host element to exclude, so the next analysis in Studio hands the bed to
itself and the duck envelope fights the bed's own content instead of speech —
the "never carve a track against itself" invariant, arriving one re-analysis
after a first pass that was genuinely correct (`main()` sums the detected voices
directly and never round-trips through group resolution, which is why the PR's
own end-to-end check could not catch it).

The fix is at the call site, not in the resolver: neither `resolveCarveSourceIds`
nor `resolveCarveVoices` receives the host, so "make the resolver skip the
target" would be a signature change on shared core. `carveSources(voices, bed)`
declines the group form when the bed is a member and records clip ids, which is
exactly what `audio_carve_ungrouped_sources` exists to raise — plus a stderr note
saying why, so the lint message does not read as "group clips you already
grouped". Scoped to `<audio>` beds: group membership is audio-only, so a `<video>`
bed cannot be pulled in by an expansion and declining there would be a false
positive. SKILL.md now states the constraint next to the group invariant it
belongs to.

Tests: six added, closing both gaps review named. The bed-in-group regression and
a symlinked CLI invocation both fail on the previous commit (silent exit 0 vs the
usage error) and pass now; three more pin the cases that must NOT decline
(different group, ungrouped bed, video bed). `loadCore` is now exported and
covered by a fixture package carrying an import-only export map — the published
manifest's shape — so this PR's first fix is pinned without depending on npm.

* fix(skills): refuse the carve group when a non-voice member would widen it

Closes the second branch of the original blocker, which the bed fix did not
cover: detected voices sharing `voiceover` with an existing SFX or music member.
Detection correctly leaves that member out, but the persisted `sources:
["voiceover"]` resolves wider on the next Studio analysis —
`resolveCarveSourceIds` expands the group to every current member and
`resolveCarveVoices` keeps any audio with a src — so the extra clip enters the
sidechain and the bed starts ducking under a whoosh. Same shape as the bed case:
the first pass is genuinely correct because `main()` sums the voice list
`detectTracks` returned and never round-trips through group resolution.

Taking the first of the two suggested fixes (membership + classification in the
collapse decision) rather than deriving the first pass from the resolved group:
analysing whatever the group happens to hold would make the CLI measure clips it
classified as non-voice, which is the arrangement problem rather than a licence
to sidechain them.

`groupSourceRefusal(voices, bed, members)` replaces `bedInVoiceGroup` and returns
`{group, reason, ids}` or null, so the decision and the stderr note come from one
place. `members` is every `<audio>` in the composition as `{id, group, nameKind}`
with `nameKind` from core's `classifyAudioName`, so this and Studio's picker
classify identically. `detectTracks` now returns the media list it already built.

Classification, not membership, is what makes this safe. A member classified
`music` or `sfx` blocks the group; a member classified `voice` or `unknown` does
not. That distinction is load-bearing: `detectTracks` only analyses voices that
overlap the bed, so an outro line that starts after the bed ends is routinely a
group member this run did not measure — and covering it on a later analysis
without editing `sources` is the entire reason SKILL.md says to name the group.
Refusing on "any member the run did not analyse" would collapse the group form
into clip ids for every ordinary narration sequence. `unknown` follows detection's
own loose-in-the-safe-direction rule, since detection treats an unknown name as a
possible voice.

The note now names the blocking member, for either reason, since "sources are
clip ids" plus `audio_carve_ungrouped_sources` reads as nonsense to an author who
did group their clips.

Tests: six added, 18 in the file. The two regressions (sfx member, music member)
and the refusal shape fail with the mixed branch ablated and pass with it; three
more pin the cases that must NOT refuse — a non-overlapping voice member, an
`unknown` member, and an sfx member of a different group. SKILL.md states both
refusals and the voice-member exemption next to the group invariant.

* test(skills): make `members` required so dropping it cannot undo the widening fix

Review finding, and the one link no test covered. `carveSources` and
`groupSourceRefusal` defaulted `members = []`, and with an empty list the `mixed`
refusal cannot fire — so a refactor that dropped the third argument at the call
site would return the group form again with the entire suite green.

That is the same signature as the bug the argument exists to prevent: `main()`
sums the detected voice list directly, so the first CLI pass is correct either
way and only a later Studio re-analysis reads the widened attribute. Nothing goes
red. `main()` is also the only code that BUILDS `members`, and no test runs it —
the symlink test stops at the usage error and a real run needs ffmpeg.

Both defaults are gone, so a missing argument throws on `members.filter`. The
nine cases that predate the membership check now pass `[]` explicitly, which
also documents that they are about the bed and the group attributes alone, and a
new test asserts both functions throw when the argument is omitted. Verified it
fails when the defaults are restored.

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 485c037dcf feat(studio,lint): carve targets voiceover groups — always, when plural (#3288)
* feat(core): route grouped audio through a group bus in preview

An audio element carrying `data-audio-group` no longer lands its gain on
the master bus directly — it feeds a per-group `GainNode` (built lazily on
first use, one per group id) which itself feeds master, so members of the
same group sum before the ear, ready for a group-level FX chain and
volume/mute in later steps. An id with no matching `<hf-audio-group>`
element still gets a plain, unprocessed bus rather than losing the track.

The group's own chain and volume lane are wired through the same
`attachElementFxChain`/`scheduleVolumeLane` every element already uses,
against the group's clock — composition time (design doc §1.3), since a
group has no `data-start` and a missing one parses as 0. The bus persists
across `stopAll()` (mirroring `_masterGain`'s own lifecycle) so replaying a
group does not rebuild its chain; only `destroy()` disposes it.

Render is untouched — stays flat until B4; `audio-groups` is still a 0%
canary so nothing ships this to a real composition without hand-authoring
`data-audio-group`.

Also: `audioGroupOf` (B1) crashed on any element lacking a real `tagName`/
`getAttribute` — exactly the shape of most `HTMLMediaElement` test doubles
in this suite, including this file's own `mockEl`. Made it tolerant, same
style as `readChain`'s existing guard in `runtime/audioFx.ts`.

`schedulePlayback` was already 110 lines pre-existing before this diff;
extracted `resolveDestination` and `handleSourceEnded` to shrink it to 92,
then suppressed the remainder (inherently sequential graph wiring, not a
decision tree) per the same precedent B2 used on `TimelineLogicalRow`.

* feat(studio,lint): carve targets voiceover groups — always, when plural

Plural voiceover carve now targets a group instead of naming each clip:
`resolveCarveSourceIds` (core `audioGroups.ts`) expands a group id to its
current members at analysis time, so a clip added to the group later is
covered without touching `sources`. The picker (`useFxCarve.ts`) offers a
grouped voice as one option instead of one row per member, tests overlap
as a union of member spans (a group overlaps the bed if ANY member does),
and prefers a qualifying group over its individual members in
`autoSourceIds`.

Picking two or more ungrouped voice clips in the carve flow now mints a
group behind them (`mintGroupId`, de-duped against every id in the
document) and writes `data-audio-group` on each picked clip atomically,
one undo entry — `createAudioGroupAndAssignMembers` in
`timelineTrackVisibility.ts` copies `setElementsHidden`'s multi-target
write shape. The DSP is untouched: `mixCarveSources` already sums
multiple sources correctly (verified in the design doc's own
investigation) — this only fixes the picker.

New lint rule `audio_carve_ungrouped_sources` (`packages/lint/src/rules/
media.ts`, alongside `audio_volume_double_automation`) warns when a
`data-fx-carve`'s `sources` names two or more plain clip ids instead of a
group — the shape that silently rots when a clip is added. `/hyperframes-
audio` states the same rule as an invariant, not a tip, with the grouped-
narration HTML example from the design doc.

The group-matching and auto-group logic (`withAutoGroupedSources`,
`collectCarveCandidates`) is split into `useFxCarveGrouping.ts` —
`useFxCarve.ts` was pushing past the 600-line cap. `resolveNextCarveSettings`
is deliberately NOT an `async function`: wrapping it in one would force a
microtask on every call, including the synchronous branch — the exact bug
`withAutoGroupedSources`'s own sync-when-possible contract exists to avoid,
and one caught via `propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.test.tsx` (10 failures)
before fixing it back to a plain function the caller conditionally awaits.

Also extracted `useEffectiveTimelineDuration` out of `App.tsx` and
`useRemoveBackground` out of `StudioRightPanel.tsx` (both pushed past 600
lines from an added prop wire), and decomposed `useFxCarve.ts`'s picker
IIFE to clear fallow's complexity gate.

Miguel Ángel 2be5a03b80 fix(lint): stop erroring on the documented canonical clip block (#3374)
Linting the primitive-clip example from packages/core/docs/core.md produced
two errors against the docs' own linter:

    error  timed_element_missing_clip_class  el-3   <img data-start ...>
    error  self_closing_media_tag            el-4   <audio ... />

Both are now fixed, in opposite directions — one was the rule's fault, one was
the docs'.

`timed_element_missing_clip_class` claimed the element "will be visible for the
entire composition instead of only during its scheduled time range". That is
not what happens. `syncTimedElementVisibility` walks
`querySelectorAll("[data-start]")` and toggles `style.visibility` off the
ATTRIBUTE, with no reference to the class; the runtime's own init test pins it
with a bare `<div data-start data-duration>` carrying no `class="clip"`. Every
other consumer of the string "clip" — Studio's label derivation, the runtime's
timeline labels, core's selector helper — treats it as a name to skip, never as
a behaviour key. So the class is an authoring convention the tooling reads, not
the mechanism that hides the element.

The rule is therefore a warning rather than an error, and its message now says
what is actually true. `img` joins `audio` and `video` in skipTags: the three
media primitives sit on adjacent lines of the same documented clip block, all
three authored without `class="clip"`, and flagging only the `<img>` is what
made the documented pattern fail.

`self_closing_media_tag` was right and the docs were wrong: `/` is ignored on a
non-void element, so `<audio ... />` leaves the element open and everything
after it nests inside. Changed to `<audio ...></audio>`. The `<img ... />` on
the line above is a genuine void element and stays as it is.

The same false mechanism claim had been copied into the talking-head-recut
skill, in both the annotated example and the rules list, where agents read it
as fact. Corrected there too.

No effect on the 643 shipped registry files (this rule fires on none of them);
the change is to the documented pattern and to agent-authored compositions.
Regression test lints the canonical block verbatim and asserts it produces no
errors or warnings, so docs and linter cannot drift apart again silently.

Miguel Ángelandanikam13 d1482b0129 fix(skills): resolve the blueprint id from a qualified blueprint: field (#3337)
* fix(skills): resolve the blueprint id from a qualified `blueprint:` field

visual-design.md documents `blueprint:` as the id plus a `(Reproduce)` /
`(Adapt)` qualifier, and prints `dataviz-countup (Adapt)` as its worked example.
The packet builder used that raw field as a filename, so a qualified blueprint
looked for `<id> (Adapt).md`, found nothing, and inlined an empty string:
`selectedFile()` returns "" for a missing path. Every packet shipped without the
one document the frame was designed against, and the run still exited 0 with
nothing on stderr. `compose (Adapt)` missed the `compose` check the same way.

Parse the field into the id it names, once, so no caller resolves a raw field
value against the blueprints directory. A blueprint that resolves to no file is
now a named error rather than an empty section, matching how the builder already
treats a missing `src` and an oversize packet.

The existing tests only used bare ids, which is how the qualified form escaped;
they now cover both, and the missing-file case.

One owner: product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, pr-to-video and

* fix(skills): degrade, not fail, when the blueprints library is absent

Self-review catch on the previous commit. hyperframes-animation installs on
demand, so its blueprints/ directory can legitimately be missing — that is a
skill that isn't installed yet, not a frame naming a bad id. Throwing there
turned a silent degrade into a hard failure for a valid setup.

Distinguish the two: an absent blueprints/ warns and inlines nothing, exactly
as an absent rules/ already does in knownRuleIds; a present library that has no
file for this id still throws, because that is a typo or an unstripped
qualifier.

* fix(skills): point two dead blueprint references at real shapes

CI surfaced these once an unresolvable blueprint stopped being silent. Both
named ids that have never existed in hyperframes-animation/blueprints/:

- faceless-explainer's frame template taught `messaging-multi-phase`, so an
  agent copying the template verbatim tagged a blueprint that resolves to
  nothing. dataviz-countup is what the same skill already uses in its own
  visual-design template and tests.
- pr-to-video's diff-excerpt guardrail fixture used `number-lockup`. The test is
  about diff excerpting and the id was incidental; the frame's own
  `counting-dynamic-scale` rule makes dataviz-countup the natural real shape.

A sweep of every `blueprint:` value across skills/ finds no others.

Miguel Ángelandanikam13 c66c9a4c76 fix(skills): stage SVGs that capture wrote into capture/assets/svgs/ (#3336)
`hyperframes capture` extracts inline SVGs into capture/assets/svgs/, and the
capture manifest advertises them to the agent as `assets/svgs/<name>.svg`, so a
frame names one in `asset_candidates` exactly the way it names a screenshot.
stageAssets searched only capture/{assets,assets/videos,screenshots}, so every
captured SVG resolved to nothing: logged as a non-fatal anomaly, and the frame
404'd the brand mark it had been told to use.

Add the directory to the search list, and cover it with a test that fails
without the fix.

lib/assets.mjs is byte-identical across product-launch-video,
faceless-explainer and pr-to-video, so the fix lands in all three. Folding it
into hyperframes-core/scripts/lib/, where frame-packets-core.mjs already lives,
is a separate change.

WaterrrForeverandClaude Fable 5 a6a9e2f89e feat(skills): anchored-connector rule + source-traceable visuals doctrine (#3354)
* feat(skills): anchored-connector rule + source-traceable visuals doctrine

Two advisory rules absorbed from a community-skill comparison study
(4-cell sandbox replay vs geekjourneyx/hyperframes-motion-director;
ideas only — no upstream text, the repo is AGPL-3.0):

- Connector lines earn their place: any beam/rail/scan/underline must
  name both anchors and its job (reveal/route/validate) or be cut.
  Lands in motion-principles (composition) + svg-path-draw (constraints).
- Visuals point back to the source: when a video derives from concrete
  material, each frame's key visual should trace to a specific source
  line — real filenames/numbers over stock props. Lands as story-spine
  rule 4; the four SKILL.md index lines that enumerate story-spine's
  rules are synced.

Both are self-checks, not hard gates. lint:skills + skill-mirror green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(skills): regen stale manifest + add emphasize to connector job list

Review 4975048154 follow-ups:
- skills-manifest.json was hashed mid-commit before oxfmt renormalized
  the four SKILL.md tables (lefthook pre-commit runs format and
  skills-manifest in parallel — they raced). Regenerated at head;
  second regen is a no-op.
- The connector rule's job list read literally would cut lines this
  same doctrine prescribes (dividers, hairlines, underline_sweep):
  emphasis was a missing job, not a forbidden one. Added 'emphasize'
  to both motion-principles and svg-path-draw.

Miguel Ángel 228eabd43f fix(studio): make the volume fader tell the truth about the gain it writes (#3305)
* fix(studio): make the volume fader tell the truth about the gain it writes

The fader travels in dB, so its stops are irrational values; serializing them
through the generic two-decimal numeric formatter collapsed the bottom quarter
of its travel onto "0" — a hard mute — and made the knob jump on release
everywhere below unity. Both panels now use the exact serializer, which
round-trips every integer stop back to itself.

Raise the volume automation lane to the same ceiling the fader reaches.
Clamping the lane at unity meant automating a boosted clip silently discarded
the boost, and the panel disables the fader while a lane owns the level, so
there was no way back. This rescales the lane's vertical axis: unity now sits
a quarter of the way up rather than at the top.

Add audio_volume_tween_overrides_gain. Tween values on `volume` are absolute —
they replace the authored gain rather than scaling it — so a clip carrying both
plays at whatever the tween names, and the fader gives no sign of it. The rule
reuses the tween detector the sibling lane/tween rule already has.

* fix(lint): treat a missing data-volume as unity, not as silence

readAttr returns null when the attribute is absent, and Number(null) is 0 —
finite, and not 1 — so a clip carrying NO data-volume cleared both filters and
was reported as authored at silence. Both halves of that were false: absent
means unity everywhere else in the runtime.

It fired on exactly the case the rule exists to bless. The docs this PR edits
say data-volume is the baseline for elements no tween touches, so a tweened
clip is expected not to carry one — the common audio fade. A warning does not
fail check, but an agent reading the fixHint would have written a gain to
correct a level that was never wrong.

Miguel Ángel b3c43e2480 feat(cli): add normalize-audio to match one clip's loudness to another (#3306)
* feat(cli): add normalize-audio to match one clip's loudness to another

Measures two authored `<audio>` clips with FFmpeg's integrated EBU R128
loudness and writes the target's matching `data-volume`, leaving the
reference untouched.

The measurement is bounded to the window the composition actually plays.
`data-end` bounds a clip's timeline window just as `data-duration` does, and
`-ss`/`-t` belong before `-i`: after it they bound the OUTPUT, and with
`-f null` there is none, so ebur128 keeps integrating past the clip. On a
fixture whose played window is -61.8 LUFS inside a file that measures -27.9
whole, either mistake reports a loudness the composition never plays and
"corrects" an already-matched clip by tens of dB.

Two EBU R128 passes run between reading the composition and writing it, each
bounded only by a two-minute timeout, and the skill docs tell agents to keep
Studio open meanwhile — so the attribute patch is re-applied to a fresh read
and written through a temp file and a rename.

Under `--json` the failures are documents too: an agent doing
`JSON.parse(stdout)` on a bare error line throws. A pair needing more than the
+12 dB ceiling has a source-file problem rather than a mixer one — mixer gain
raises the noise floor with the signal — so the refusal names the remedy.

* fix(cli): validate --tolerance before paying for the measurement

Each EBU R128 pass is bounded at 120s and normalize-audio runs two, so
parsing the argument afterwards made a typo'd --tolerance cost both of them
before failing on something that was wrong from the start.

Not pinned by a test: the ordering is internal to the command and neither it
nor the parser is exported, so covering it would mean restructuring for a spy
rather than asserting the behaviour.

* docs(cli): restore the blank line between the preview and normalize-audio sections

Lost when I resolved the rebase conflict against the background-preview docs
by hand instead of letting the formatter near it. oxfmt --check failed on the
one file, which fails Preflight — and because preview-parity needs Preflight it
skipped, and the preview-regression gate fails closed on a skip, so a missing
newline read as a preview defect.

The quieter half: the same needs chain meant the required Test context was
never created at that head. Not failing — absent, so there was no test signal
at all on the PR.

Miguel Ángel 9da422fd7f feat(cli): run a managed background preview in every launch mode (#3310)
`--background` was rejected outside the embedded server. It now re-execs the
CLI in foreground, which makes it mode-agnostic by construction: whichever
server the child resolves to serves the config endpoint the readiness probe
looks for. `--foreground` is its counterpart, for a non-interactive shell that
wants to stay attached, and a bare launch keeps the same promise — attached in
an interactive terminal, managed in an agent session.

That generalization exposed an existing hole. Local-studio mode runs Vite with
the studio package as its cwd and needs that package's own Vite config, which
the published tarball does not carry, but resolving the package was treated as
proof the mode was usable. An npm-installed studio therefore took a path that
can never come up — previously a clear error, now a ten-second silent timeout.
The predicate becomes "can this studio actually be served", so a published
install falls back to embedded mode, which works.

Over the 1k line budget at ~1.3k. The overage is one command file and its
tests carrying one invariant, and the seam that would split it further is
inside a single request-handling function — a split there would produce two
PRs neither of which starts a preview on its own.

Miguel Ángel 0d874adc68 fix(skills): count proxy-driver tweens in the animation map (#3301)
enumerateTweens dropped every tween whose targets() held no Element:

    if (!targets.length) return;

That silently deleted the proxy-driver idiom — tween a plain object, apply the
motion inside onUpdate — which is real, visible animation. The consequence was
not just a missing row: computeDensity counted zero active tweens across the
tween's span, so findDeadZones reported animating time as DEAD, telling agents
to add motion to a stretch that already had it.

A target-less tween is now kept when a driver reaches it, marked
driver:"onUpdate". The driver can be the tween's own onUpdate, or the
TIMELINE's — the WebGL/uniform idiom is gsap.timeline({ onUpdate: renderFrame })
over children that tween plain uniform objects and carry no onUpdate of their
own, so walk() threads a `driven` flag beside parentOffset.

The discriminator is what keeps this from trading one false reading for
another. A bare `tl.to({}, { duration: D })` spacer produces nothing, and every
preset caption skin ends with exactly such a full-span anchor; counting those
would mask genuine dead zones. So a tween's own onUpdate is proof of work by
itself (a repaint loop need not animate a property), while an inherited driver
additionally requires the tween to change something.

There is no element to select or measure for a driver tween:

  * selectorHint is null rather than a placeholder — it feeds
    document.querySelector, so it must be absent, not unmatchable;
  * bbox sampling is skipped; the report shows "(onUpdate driver)";
  * computeFlags guards its geometry flags on bboxes.length, since [].every()
    is vacuously true and would report an unmeasured tween as both degenerate
    and invisible;
  * describeTween says the motion is applied in JS and no geometry was measured;
  * the per-element analyses (buildElementLifecycles, detectStaggers) run over
    element-backed tweens only, so drivers cannot collapse into one pseudo-
    element or invent a stagger. Density, dead zones and the timeline still
    count them — those are per-span, which is what a driver has.

Verified end to end: a 4s composition with an element tween over 0-1s and a
proxy driver over 2-4s went from "1/1 tweens, dead zones: 1.5-4s" to "2/2
tweens" with no dead zone.

Miguel Ángel a41da86517 fix(skills): declare the caption brand font's style axis, not just its weight (#3300)
A font filename encodes more than a weight, but only the weight was ever read
out of it, so two faces of one family collapsed onto a single slot.

Google Fonts ships Newsreader as Newsreader-Italic-VariableFont_opsz,wght.ttf
and Newsreader-VariableFont_opsz,wght.ttf. The italic sorts first, both scored
400, so the italic claimed the family's only 400 slot, the upright was dropped
as a duplicate, and the surviving face was declared with no font-style at all.

@font-face is deliberately global — the composition CSS scoper exempts it,
since a face declaration cannot be scoped — so mounting captions re-pointed the
whole document's Newsreader at the italic file and every sibling composition
rendered in italics.

Faces now carry a font-style descriptor and dedupe on weight AND style.

The same fix had to land in build-frame.mjs, which renames captured fonts
BEFORE captions.mjs sees them. It dropped the style token while renaming, so an
italic file arrived as "Newsreader-Regular.ttf" and was then asserted upright —
leaving the global normal slot pointing at italic bytes even once brandFontFaces
understood styles. The staged filename is a contract: it must carry every axis
that distinguishes one face from another, and the dedup key must be the whole
face.

Second axis, same misparse: weight parsing matched WORDS only, so a Fontsource
capture (inter-latin-500-normal.woff2) scored a whole family 400 and shipped one
of its faces. A numeric axis in the filename now wins over the word heuristic,
anchored so it is not read out of the middle of a hash-named capture file —
a non-digit before it and no alphanumeric after, which keeps both the 4-digit
guard and separator-free names like Roboto900.ttf.

Tests pin both ends of the contract: a round-trip asserting the names
build-frame stages map back to the right weight+style through the real
brandFontFaces, plus a source check that no copy reverts to a weight-only name
or a hardcoded font-style:normal. captions.mjs also gains a parity pin across
the three workflows that ship it.

Not addressed: a VariableFont file is still declared at a single font-weight
rather than its range, so weights it could interpolate are still synthesized.

Miguel Ángel f8a1e2d315 fix(skills): pin UTF-8 in Python scripts instead of the platform code page (#3298)
Windows sizes Python's stdio and text-mode file IO to the ANSI code page
(cp1252), not UTF-8. Every skill Python script relied on that default:

  * analyze-beatgrid.py --print writes the glyphs cp1252 has no slot for
    (delta, arrow), so the brief died with UnicodeEncodeError on every Windows
    run — the reported crash;
  * its audiomap write_text() pairs ensure_ascii=False with the default file
    encoding, so a non-ASCII payload is unwritable there too;
  * lint_source.py read_text() raises UnicodeDecodeError before any rule runs
    when a Remotion source carries an em dash or a curly quote;
  * gen-stroke-path.py reads an SVG font whose glyph keys ARE literal
    characters, so a mis-decoded key stops matching the requested text.

Stdio is reconfigured to UTF-8 at import and every text-mode IO call names its
encoding. `errors` is carried across the reconfigure: it resets to "strict",
and CPython gives stderr "backslashreplace" on purpose so the diagnostic path
can never itself raise.

extract-audio-data.py also decoded ffmpeg's stderr strictly while reporting a
failure, which would bury the very error being reported on a Windows ffmpeg.

skills/python-encoding.test.mjs guards the class: it fails if any skill Python
script drops the stdio block or omits encoding= on a text-mode IO call. The
mode is read as a whole comma-delimited argument of mode characters only, so a
payload key like {"bpm": 120} cannot spell the check away.

Verified with a cp1252 stdio stream installed before module load, matching how
Windows starts the interpreter: pre-fix UnicodeEncodeError, post-fix both
glyphs present in the UTF-8 bytes. Not run on real Windows hardware.

Miguel Ángel 6b17c24f98 fix(catalog): rank on where a word appears and how rare it is (#3312)
* fix(catalog): rank on where a word appears and how rare it is

Word search returned the right move in the top three for 87% of a
39-query eval set built from real catalog intents. Three defects, all in
the same 75-line scorer, and all found by running the queries rather than
by reading the code.

A token matching an item's NAME counted exactly as much as one buried in
a description. Searching "typewriter effect on a title" ranked the item
literally called `typewriter` seventh, behind entries that merely mention
typing. Name and title now carry three times the weight: an author who
types a move's name is giving the strongest signal available and it was
being averaged away.

Plurals shared no vocabulary with the singular. "a stat that counts up
and then pulses once" matched nothing in a description reading "lands
with a restrained scale pulse", because `counts` is not `count`. Adding
detail to a query made results strictly worse, which is the opposite of
what a search should do. Plurals now fold, and only plurals: Porter would
fold `counter` to `count` and `values` to `valu`, merging moves that mean
different things.

Field weighting alone made one case worse, which is why inverse document
frequency is here too. "reveal a headline one line at a time" put every
item merely NAMED `*-reveal` on top, because one strong hit on the
catalog's most common word outscored several weak hits on the words that
actually narrowed it down. Rarity now scales each term.

Separately: a query in a script this ranker cannot index no longer
reports itself as an empty catalog. Tokenising on [a-z]+ leaves nothing
of a Japanese query, and returning "no items match" told the author the
catalog lacked a move it may well have, then invited them to file a gap
report about it. That case now says what actually happened and withholds
the gap prompt, since nothing was searched.

Measured on the same 39 queries, before and after:
  top-1  31/39 (79%) -> 33/39 (85%)
  top-3  34/39 (87%) -> 39/39 (100%)

Test plan: 13 new tests, each a real failing query reduced to the
smallest fixture that still reproduces it. Existing tests migrated to the
fields API (two callers total). Full CLI suite 2643 passed, 2
pre-existing transcribe failures unchanged. Verified against the real
CLI: "typewriter effect on a title" now returns typewriter first, and
"chat conversation between a user and an assistant" returns chat-message,
chat-thread, ai-chat-reveal instead of transitions-blur.

* docs(skills): say to query the catalog in English

The runtime message added alongside this explains an unsearchable query
after the fact. Saying it up front is cheaper: an agent that never writes
the query in Japanese never sees the error, never wastes the turn, and
never files a gap report about a component that exists.

Worth stating rather than assuming, because the mistake is a reasonable
one. On a Japanese or Chinese project the brief, the narration and the
captions are all in that language and the query naturally follows. The
rule is that the query language and the video language are unrelated:
describe the move in English, write the on-screen copy in whatever the
video needs.

Both skills that own `catalog --query` carry it, and those are the only
two that mention the command at all.

* fix(catalog): fail a non-English query instead of returning nothing

The message explaining an unsearchable query went to stdout and the
command exited 0. An agent that checks the exit code, which is most of
them, read that as "searched successfully, the catalog has nothing" and
went off to hand-author a move that is sitting in the registry. The
explanation only helped a human who happened to be reading the terminal.

It is bad input, not an empty shelf, so it now behaves like one: the
guidance goes to stderr and the command exits 1, matching what an invalid
--type already does. A genuine empty result, where the query parsed fine
and the catalog simply has nothing, still exits 0 -- that distinction is
the whole point, and both halves are pinned by tests.

The wording now also says what to do rather than only what happened:
search in English, and let the on-screen copy of the video stay in
whatever language it needs. That was the part agents were getting wrong,
since a Japanese project makes a Japanese query feel natural.

Test plan: 3 new tests covering the exit code, the wording, and the
genuine-empty case that must stay at 0. Also asserts the gap-report line
is absent, since nothing was searched and a report there is noise in the
one signal that tells us what to build. catalog.test.ts 32 passed;
commands + registry suites 887 passed with the 2 pre-existing transcribe
failures unchanged. Verified against the real CLI: a CJK query exits 1, a
genuine miss exits 0.

Miguel Ángel 0285a711e9 feat(core): expose pretext text measurement on window.__hyperframes (#3302)
## What

Exposes the `pretext` text-measurement API on `window.__hyperframes`, so the API our agent-facing docs already describe actually exists.

Adds `pretext.prepare`, `.layout`, `.prepareWithSegments`, `.measureLineStats`, `.measureNaturalWidth`.

## Why

`skills/hyperframes-core/references/determinism-rules.md` is required reading for any agent authoring a composition. Line 59 tells them to call `window.__hyperframes.pretext.prepare(text, font)` then `pretext.layout(prepared, maxWidth, lineHeight)` for text measurement without a DOM reflow.

That object did not exist. The runtime exposed exactly `fitTextFontSize` and `getVariables`. Any composition following the documented recipe threw at runtime.

Deleting the doc line was the smaller change, but reflow-free measurement is genuinely the right tool for sizing text per frame, and `fitTextFontSize` is already built on it. Making the docs true is the better fix.

## How

- New `packages/core/src/text/pretext.ts` assembles the exposed surface in one place, with the include/exclude rationale next to it.
- `entry.ts` attaches it alongside the existing helpers. Sub-compositions inherit it for free: the scoping shim builds its scoped variant with `Object.assign({}, base, { getVariables })`, so anything added to the base object is carried through.

Two deliberate decisions:

**Wider than the doc named.** `layout()` returns only `{ lineCount, height }`. The doc's own "shrinkwrap containers" use case needs a width, which is impossible with just `prepare` + `layout`. `measureNaturalWidth` and `measureLineStats` make that claim achievable; `prepareWithSegments` is their required input.

**`clearCache` and `setLocale` withheld.** Both mutate state shared across compositions. Exposing them would let one composition change how a later one measures, making a render depend on what ran before it.

**Doc correction.** The reference called this "pure arithmetic, ~0.0002 ms per call". Not quite: `prepare` measures fonts through a canvas and throws outside a browser. Only the steps after a prepared string are arithmetic. Reworded, and documented the width helpers and the omissions.

## Trade-off

The runtime bundle grows **4,903 bytes (+1.30%)**, from 377,865 to 382,768. That ships inline in every composition. Measured by building the artifact with and without the change.

## Test plan

- [x] Unit tests added/updated
- [x] Manual testing performed
- [x] Documentation updated (if applicable)

`packages/core/src/text/pretext.test.ts` guards the shape of the published surface: the two documented names exist, the width helpers exist, and the two stateful functions are absent. Behaviour is deliberately not asserted there. `prepare` needs a canvas, and mocking it (as `fitTextFontSize.test.ts` must) would assert nothing real.

Real behaviour was verified by rendering a composition that calls the documented API:

```
lines=2  height=216  naturalWidth=1785
```

Self-consistent: natural width 1785 exceeds the 1600 container so it wraps to 2 lines, and 2 x 108 line-height is exactly the reported 216. The frame was inspected visually.

Also run:
- `packages/core` full suite from the package root: **903 passed, 46 files**
- `tsc --noEmit` and `tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.runtime.json`: clean
- `oxlint` / `oxfmt`: clean

## Follow-ups (not in this PR)

An audit of the wider attribute surface found several more doc/runtime mismatches, including `data-gpu-mode` documented as an HTML attribute when it is a config field, and `data-no-timeline` being real, load-bearing, and absent from the table agents read. Those are separate changes.

Miguel Ángel 37f8c48449 fix(catalog): survive an unreachable registry, and ask for the gap (#3299)
Serve an expired registry cache when revalidation fails, so one timeout against the registry host no longer reports the whole catalog as unreachable while a usable copy sits on disk.

Hand back the gap-report command at the moment a search comes back wrong: catalog --query prints it pre-filled on both tiers, and every --json search envelope carries it as report_gap. Report on either tier, since the on-device tier needs a consented download and every gap reported to date came from the word tier.

Document the gap channel in the registry skill, which owns hyperframes catalog and never mentioned it, and name the CLI commands no skill did.

focsuerandMiguel Ángel 67edb01bf4 docs(skills): fix anime.js v3 syntax in v4 adapter guidance (#3064)
* docs(skills): fix anime.js v3 syntax in v4 adapter guidance

The animejs adapter docs teach v3 syntax against a v4 build, so the examples
cannot run as written: every v4 bundle assigns a *namespace object* to the
global `anime`, making v3's `anime({ targets })` call form a TypeError. `easing:`
is now `ease:`, ease names lost their `ease` prefix, and `timeline.add()` takes
`(targets, parameters, position)`.

- Rewrite `skills/hyperframes-animation/adapters/animejs.md` for v4:
  `anime.animate()` / `anime.createTimeline()`, `ease:` names, targets-first
  `add()`, position shorthands, and a note that the producer fixtures pin
  4.0.2 (`lib/`) while 4.1+ moved bundles to `dist/bundles/`.
- Fix the same v3 `anime.timeline({ targets })` snippet in
  `skills/hyperframes-keyframes/references/keyframe-patterns.md`.
- Stop advertising `anime.running` auto-discovery as a safety net. No v4 build
  exports `running` (checked 4.0.2 and 4.5.0), so `discover()` returns
  immediately and any instance a composition forgets to push onto
  `window.__hfAnime` is silently never seeked. Marked v3-only/inert in the
  skill page and the adapter docstring; explicit registration is now stated
  as mandatory.
- Add render-safety notes the page lacked: `createSeededRandom()` as the
  deterministic replacement for `Math.random()`, and why
  `autoplay: onScroll(...)`, `createDraggable`, and pointer-driven
  `createAnimatable` cannot work under headless seek rendering.
- Regenerate skills-manifest.json.

Runtime behaviour is unchanged: the `packages/core` edit is comment-only, and
the seek path already works on v4 (registered instances expose
seek/pause/play). The now-dead `anime.running` branch in `discover()` is left
in place — it is guarded and try/caught, and removing it is a behaviour change
that belongs in its own PR.

Vance IngallsandClaude Sonnet 5 d6c4774ef4 feat(studio): instrument the audio FX rack, including work an agent did (#3229)
* fix(studio): close the typecheck and fallow gaps wa-18b-reschedule opened

useAutomationLanes.ts's write() assumed gesture-scoped coalescing and a
preview-only commit that useDomEditAttributeCommits.ts never grew — backported
that option support from its own later commit so the two sides of the API
agree. The paste path and its tests were missing the box selection's v0/v1
bounds a sibling commit added to AutomationSelection. The FX panel's carve
controls still edited the six mechanism numbers (maxCutDb, bands,
intelligibilityBias) after carveProfile() collapsed authoring to one Strength
knob, so those fields no longer existed on HfCarveSettings; UI now edits

PR's diff: extracted automationLaneDragMath.ts (pure group/point-move math)

useAutomationLaneGestures.ts, pulled a couple of render-loop ternaries and a
resolver into named functions, dropped an export nothing outside its file
used, and shared a step-simplifier between audioCarve's two envelope
builders.

The edge-stretch vs. box-select priority test in TimelineAutomationLane.test
was still pinning the pre-box-select rule (edge wins over a point sitting on

* fix(core): cap the via conic's weight so an edge-clamped via point can't NaN

A via point pulled out past the segment (viaX: 5, viaY: -3) clamps to
(0.999, 0.001) — exactly on the steady region's edge, where edge - viaX is 0.
viaConic divided by that zero to get an infinite weight, and shapeVia turned
Infinity into NaN a few steps later (Infinity - Infinity in the quadratic
coefficient). NaN reaching setValueCurveAtTime silences the automated
parameter for the rest of the render.

Capped the weight at 1e6 instead of leaving it unbounded — past that point
the arc already reads as touching the via point, so nothing visible is lost.
Also hardened shapeVia's existing denominator guard (`<= 0`) to `!(> 0)`,
since NaN fails the original comparison and fell through it.

* fix(studio-server): fingerprint the proactive waveform cache key too

The route already keys the waveform cache on the asset's size and mtime as
well as its path, so a rebuilt-in-place file gets fresh peaks instead of
stale ones. generateWaveformCache — the proactive path that runs on upload —
still called buildWaveformCacheKey with the path alone, so it wrote to a
different key than the route reads from (making the pre-generated cache
never found) and kept the exact collision bug this fingerprint exists to fix
on its own path.

* fix(core): stop \b from missing underscore-separated names, guard clipsOverlap's negative duration

\b treats `_` as a word character, so \bbed\b never matched bed_01,

an underscore-separated bed classified as "unknown" and could end up offered
as its own carve source. Replaced the short hints with a boundary that
actually excludes letters and digits on both sides.

clipsOverlap computed end = start + duration without guarding sign, so a
negative duration put end before start — an interval that does not describe
anything, and one specific case showed it silently dropping a real overlap
(a shorter, earlier broken end rejected a clip that genuinely contained the
point). Duration clamps to zero instead: a clip cannot un-play time, and a
zero-length clip at its start is the sane reading of "duration nobody wrote

Two auto-apply effects both fire when sourceOptions.length === 1: the
multi-candidate effect only guards length === 0, so a single candidate
passes it too, and the single-candidate effect passes its own guard right
after — both compute the same sources list and both call setCarve, so the
common case (one narrator, one bed) triggered two decodes, two FFT runs, and
two concurrent attribute writes for one decision.

The multi-candidate effect now defers to its sibling for exactly one
candidate, which already has its own detailed handling for that case.

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always (#3212)

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always dynamically

A bed usually runs under a whole sequence — a narrator, an interview answer, a
second presenter — and carving against one of them left the others fighting it.
`source` becomes `sources`, and `mixCarveSources` sums every voice onto the BED's
clock before anything is measured. That is what keeps one analysis sufficient: the
chain is fixed, so there is no per-voice filter to switch between, and bands drawn
from all the speech there is with envelopes that rise wherever any of it happens
answer the actual question — where and when is speech masking this bed.

Summed rather than averaged: two people talking at once mask more than either
alone. Audio before the bed starts is dropped rather than folded in at zero, since
it plays over nothing and shifting it would put a cut where there is no voice.

`dynamic` is gone. A fixed depth thins the bed through every pause, and once both
have been heard there is no reason to want it, so every carve follows the speech.

Two helpers the panel and the headless script now share instead of each carrying a
copy — two definitions of "what does this name suggest" drift, and then the two
disagree about which track is the voice:

- `classifyAudioName` reads a track's kind from its id and filename together.
  `unknown` is deliberately common: treating an unrecognised name as "not a voice"
  would hide the one track somebody needs to pick.
- `clipsOverlap` keeps out a voice that never plays while the bed does. An unwritten
  duration counts as unbounded, not zero — refusing a clip whose length the
  composition leaves to the media would drop the commonest case there is.

Files written before this still load: a single `source` reads as a one-voice list,
a stored `dynamic` is ignored, and an absent attribute means the defaults whole.

* fix(studio): port the carve UI off the removed source/dynamic fields

#3212 (accidentally squash-merged into this branch instead of main) changed
HfCarveSettings from a single `source` + `dynamic` toggle to a `sources`
list with dynamic mode removed outright — the multi-voice UI consumer that
goes with that shape lands in the very next PR, so this branch was left with
a type that no longer matched its own code.

Minimal port, not the multi-voice redesign that PR does properly: the
"Listen to" picker and analyse() treat sources[0] as the one voice this UI
still understands, and every dynamic-mode branch (the automated envelope
lanes, the toggle, the checkbox) is gone along with the field — a carve is
now always the static value the analysis computes, matching what the type
change made permanent. Test suite trimmed the same way: the automation-lane
and toggle tests covered behavior that no longer exists.

* refactor(studio): break up the FX rack's largest functions and files

Fallow flagged 9 complexity findings and 2 file-size violations after the
telemetry stack landed. Extracts FxPresetRun, FxAddMenu, FxRackChain,
FxNodeOpenBody, FxNodeParams, and useFxAudition/useFxCarve/useFxLevelling/
useFxChainObserved out of propertyPanelFxSection.tsx and
propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx, splits propertyPanelFxNodeRow.tsx's open-face
rendering into its own component, and dedupes a clone in studioTelemetry.ts.
Pure structural move — no behavior change; full test suite still green.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 d18cbcb7f3 feat(studio): the carve is one module in the rack (#3213)
* fix(ci): allowlist the build-script consolidation in the no-main-deletions guard

build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts were merged into
build-inline-artifact.ts to kill a fallow duplication finding; the deletion
guard flagged that as an accidental loss since main still has both originals.

* fix(core): dedupe the wet/dry mix math between delayFeedback and chorusLfo

Both effect builders set wet.gain to the mix and dry.gain to its complement
in identical two-line blocks; fallow kept re-flagging it as a 10-line clone
on every unrelated change. Extracted setWetDryMix.

* fix(core): remove the build-audio-fx-runtime.ts stray resurrected by a main merge

An earlier merge with main brought this deleted file back (git's merge/delete
handling on an unchanged-on-one-side file); package.json already points at
build-inline-artifact.ts, so it sat unreachable and duplicating that file's
config, both of which fallow flagged.

* fix(studio): pull TimelineLanes under the 600-line cap

TimelineLanes.tsx hit 620 lines. Extracted the three per-clip pointer
gestures (resize-start, pointer-down move-arm, click/razor-split) into
createClipGestureHandlers — one factory call per rendered clip instead of
~120 lines of inline handler bodies in the render loop. 529 lines now.

* fix(studio): split the extracted pointerdown handler under the CRAP threshold

Moving the ~120-line gesture logic into timelineClipGestureHandlers.ts
concentrated it into two functions fallow flagged (onPointerDown at CRAP
63.6, onResizeStart at 31.6). Split the decision logic (which gesture a
pointerdown implies) into a pure resolvePointerDownAction, then split
its own intent-blocking check into isIntentBlocked. onResizeStart's guard
moved into canStartResize. Every function now scores under 30.

An automated parameter has two values: the number sitting in the chain, which is
only the seed a lane replaced, and the number the envelope is on right now. The
second is the true one, so the panel shows it — on the carve rack's readouts and
on every effect's own fader and number field. A rack that showed the seed stood
still while the carve was audibly working.

Off the clip it keeps sampling rather than falling back to the stored number: a
lane holds its first value backwards and its last forwards, so before the clip
starts it already knows what it will open on, and the stored seed is a value
nothing will ever play. Showing it made the fader jump the moment the clip came
under the playhead.

The playhead comes off the liveTime channel, throttled to 30 Hz — the RAF loop
deliberately keeps frames out of the store, so a panel watching only the store
would sit still for a whole take. PropertyPanel had that subscription inline;
it is now one shared hook with two callers.

Readouts reserve the width their parameter can need rather than what its current
value takes, because an updating value one character narrower shunted everything
after it sideways 30 times a second.

The carve's effects are presented as one module: an author switched on a carve,
and the peaking filters plus the level stage are how it is built, not six things
to remove one at a time. Opening it lists every member's settings as readouts,
since strength is what sets them. No carve control is offered on a track another
track already carves against — that track is the voice, not the bed.

* fix(studio-server): key the waveform cache on the file, not just its path

Two takes written to the same path returned the first one's waveform, so a
re-recorded track drew the shape of the audio it replaced. The key now carries
size and mtime, which is enough to notice the bytes changed.

* feat(engine): render audio FX in an OfflineAudioContext

Reads `data-fx-chain` off an audio element and runs the chain over the trimmed
WAV before volume automation is baked in — effects should see the raw signal,
and the envelope belongs on their output.

The processing happens in an OfflineAudioContext inside the headless browser
the engine already drives, running the same graph builders the studio previews
with. That is the point of the approach: one implementation per effect, so the
render agreeing with the preview is a property of the architecture rather than
a tolerance to police. Reimplementing each effect as an FFmpeg filter would
mean two implementations to keep in step, and for the dynamics processors and
modulated delays there is no filter that behaves the same way.

`build:audio-fx-runtime` bundles the graph builders into an injectable IIFE,
following the same pattern as the existing runtime artifacts, so the browser
runs exactly the code the studio does.

The page loads from a file:// URL rather than about:blank because AudioWorklet
is only exposed in a secure context — the compressor, limiter, gate and
bitcrush processors would otherwise fail to register with an opaque error.
file:// qualifies and needs no listening socket.

The chain is serialised into the attribute the way colour grading carries its
config, so there is no side-car file to resolve or lose.

An FX failure is fatal for the whole mix rather than a per-track soft failure.
Every other audio failure mode degrades gracefully — the track drops, siblings
continue — but substituting the dry signal for a processed one ships a render
that sounds plausible and is not what the author set up. Since the per-element
work races under Promise.all, an internal AbortController chained off the
caller's signal aborts in-flight siblings before workDir is removed.

* feat(core): voiceover carve analysis

Finds the bands a voice occupies so a music bed can be dipped there, letting
the voice sit in front without ducking the whole track.

Carve is a relationship between two tracks rather than an effect on one, so it
stays out of the FX chain. What it emits is an ordinary chain of peaking
filters, so a carve composes with whatever else is on the track and needs no
separate rendering path.

Selection is weighted toward intelligibility rather than raw voice energy.
Ranking purely by power lands on the fundamental almost every time, because
that is where a voice is loudest — but the masking that actually hurts a
voiceover happens higher up, and dipping 160 Hz mostly just thins the bed. The
bias is a control, not a constant: at 0 it follows raw energy, at 1 it weights
toward 1-3 kHz.

Ranking happens in dB, which matters more than it looks. Speech spreads 20-30 dB
across these bands — it falls off roughly 6 dB per octave above the fundamental
— so a weighting has to be on that scale to move anything at all. A
multiplicative weight of `1 - bias + bias * shaped` is bounded below by
`1 - bias`, capping its influence at 10*log10(1/(1 - bias)): 5.2 dB at the 0.7
default, 3 dB at 0.5. That is no influence against a real voice — every bias
short of ~0.95 would rank exactly like bias 0 and carve the fundamental, the
outcome the bias exists to prevent, while looking decisive against a fixture
whose bands sit 2 dB apart. So the bias is a dB penalty, zero at 2 kHz and worth
up to 30 dB at full strength, and relative cut depths come from a dB difference
rather than a ratio of weighted linear powers.

The bias reweights ranking without overriding the spectrum — a band the voice
has no energy in is not worth carving, and scores -Infinity rather than
competing — so a strongly low-pitched voice can still select low at full bias.
What the tests hold is that biasing never selects lower than the unbiased
ranking, that the DEFAULT bias reaches the presence region on a voice with a
realistic tilt, and that bias 0 still follows raw power exactly.

Includes a radix-2 FFT rather than a dependency; one Welch-style averaged
spectrum over third-octave bands does not justify pulling in a DSP library.

* fix(engine): keep the FX render 16-bit, stereo, and correctly sized

Three defects in the offline FX path, none of which any test could see.

**Float output silently disabled sample-accurate volume automation.** The writer
emitted 32-bit IEEE float; the very next mixer step bakes the volume envelope
into the samples and accepts only 16-bit PCM, returning null otherwise. So
enabling any effect downgraded that track to the ffmpeg expression path — capped
at 32 straight segments, quantising a curved envelope, and on a dense one falling
back to base volume. It now writes 16-bit PCM, clamped rather than wrapped so a
limiter at 0 dB or a resonant filter cannot turn overshoot into a click. A test
asserts the baker accepts the writer's own output and actually fades it.

**Everything was folded to mono.** `prepareAudioTrack` goes out of its way to
emit stereo — its pan filter exists to dodge ffmpeg's 3 dB mono-to-stereo
rematrix — and this folded it, then wrote one channel. So adding a single peaking
EQ collapsed a bed's width and cost ~3 dB in the render, while preview stayed
stereo. Channels now travel as one plane each, through an OfflineAudioContext of
the same width, and come back interleaved.

**Small results decoded the wrong length.** `new Float32Array(buf.buffer)`
discards byteOffset and byteLength, and Node pools small allocations: a 400-byte
payload sits at offset 8 inside an 8 KiB pool, so a clip under ~1024 samples
decoded as 2048 samples of unrelated memory — and the empty-result guard could
not see it. The reader has the mirror-image fix: a float data chunk on an odd
boundary (ffmpeg's pcm_f32le writes fmt(18) + fact, landing `data` at 58) now
copies instead of throwing RangeError on an unaligned view.

The tail limitation is now stated rather than mis-stated: the context is exactly
as long as the input, so a reverb or delay still ringing is cut there. The old
comment claimed the opposite. How far a tail may run past a clip's end changes
the clip's length in the mix, so it is a product decision, not one to make here.

* fix(producer): report an FX render failure as an audio error

`processCompositionAudio` reports per-track failures in its result, but an FX
failure it cannot degrade past — a browser that will not launch, a chain that
will not build — rejects instead. `runAudioStage` had no try, so that rejection
escaped to the orchestrator as an unclassified pipeline exception, losing the
stage/owner/retryable classification this stage exists to attach, and skipping
its abort check on the way out.

It now lands in `audioError` alongside every other cause, while an abort still
keeps its own shape rather than being reported as an audio problem.

Not done here: committing the generated `audio-fx-runtime-inline.ts` so a fresh
clone typechecks packages/engine without building first. The bundle is built from
the stub, and the stub changes three times across this stack — so the artifact
differs per branch and would conflict on every restack. Its model,
position-edits-render-inline.ts, is committed only because it is stable. Building
before testing is this monorepo's existing contract (studio's tests need core's
dist too), so the gap is not specific to audio FX and is better closed by a build
ordering gate than by committing a per-branch artifact.

* test(engine): skip the browser FX render cases when there is no browser

CI's `Test` job was red on this PR with four failures, all the same cause:

  Failed to launch the browser process: spawn
  /home/runner/.cache/hyperframes/chrome/chrome-headless-shell

The job installs ffmpeg and no browser, deliberately — every other suite
that needs an external binary already guards on it
(`describe.skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`). These cases were the only ones assuming
a Chrome, so they failed on an absent dependency rather than on anything
about the code.

Guards on `resolveHeadlessShellPath()` — the same resolver
`acquireBrowser` launches through, so the check cannot drift from the
thing it guards the way a hard-coded cache path would. A configured path
that does not exist throws; that is caught and read as "cannot run here".

Checked both directions rather than just the green one: with a browser all
11 cases run and pass, and with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed at a
missing binary exactly 3 skip and the other 8 still run. A guard that
silently skipped everything would have looked identical in CI.

They keep their value where it exists — every developer machine, and any
job that has run `hyperframes browser ensure`.

Not touched: the CodeQL failure on this PR is a run from 2026-08-07, five
days and several force-pushes stale. None of the 17 open repo alerts are
in files this PR changes; it re-runs on this push.

* chore(engine): suppress the temp-file alert with the reason it is safe

CodeQL flags `writeWav`'s `writeFileSync` as js/insecure-temporary-file
(high) — the one new alert on #3021, and the reason its CodeQL check is
red.

It is a false positive, and the comment says why rather than just silencing
it: `path` is always inside a directory made by `mkdtempSync`, never a
name assembled directly under `tmpdir()`. Both callers are covered — the
browser host page writes into `mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "hf-fx-host-"))`,
and the render output goes to the producer work dir, itself
`mkdtempSync(join(tempRoot, "producer-project-"))`. mkdtemp picks the
random suffix and creates the directory 0700 in one syscall, so the
predictable filename inside it cannot be pre-created or symlinked by
another user, which is the attack the rule is about. The analyzer sees the
dataflow reach `tmpdir()` and not the mkdtemp in between.

Suppressed inline rather than dismissed in the UI, so the justification
lives next to the code and the rule stays live for anything added later in
this file. Matches the repo's existing convention — `planV2.ts:222`
carries an `lgtm[js/insecure-temporary-file]` for a different reason on
the same rule.

Correcting myself: I first reported this alert as not real, having
intersected the PR's files against the default-branch alert list, which
does not contain PR-ref alerts. Querying ?ref=refs/pull/3021/merge returns
it straight away.

* test(engine): probe ffmpeg and Chrome instead of assuming them

Two failures on #3021's Test job, both about the environment rather than
the code under test.

**Bare `ffmpeg` is not on PATH in CI.** The 16-bit fixture shelled out to
`execFileSync("ffmpeg", ...)` and died with ENOENT. The job does provide
ffmpeg, through `prepare-ffmpeg-bin`, which is what `getFfmpegBinary()`
resolves — every other ffmpeg-dependent suite in this package already goes
through it. Now this one does too, and the case is `skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG)`
so a contributor without ffmpeg skips rather than fails.

**The browser guard trusted the wrong thing.** It asked
`resolveHeadlessShellPath()` and treated a returned path as "a browser is
here". CI's cache holds a chrome-headless-shell that resolves and then
fails to spawn — a partial download is indistinguishable from a working
one by `existsSync`, which is all that resolver checks. So the three
browser cases ran anyway and failed on the launch.

It now runs `--version` and requires exit 0, which is the same probe the
ffmpeg suites use: ask the binary, do not infer from the filesystem.

Checked both directions rather than just the green one. With a working
browser all 11 cases run and pass; with `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` pointed
at a binary that exits non-zero — CI's exact situation — exactly 3 skip
and the other 8 still run. A guard that quietly skipped everything would
have looked identical on the CI summary.

* feat(core): register the audio-fx-rack canary at 0%

Lands the rollout switch dark, per the registry's own procedure: "Start at
percentage: 0 and merge that — a canary at 0 is dead code you can land
safely and ramp without a code review."

Declared at the bottom of the stack so every branch above can read it. The
gate itself goes in at wa-4-fx-panel, where the rack first appears.

Scope is deliberate and stated in the description: it gates the AUTHORING
surface only. A composition that already carries `data-fx-chain` still
plays and renders it. A canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not
make an attribute somebody already wrote silently inert — an agent that
writes a chain through the skill would otherwise produce a file whose audio
processing vanishes with no error.

* feat(studio): audio FX panel generated from the registry

Controls for the whole chain: add, remove, reorder, bypass, and every knob each
effect declares.

Nothing in the panel knows what a compressor is. The registry supplies each
parameter's range, step, unit and scale and the panel renders what it finds, so
adding an effect or a knob upstream needs no change here, and the panel cannot
offer a value the renderer would reject — a typed-in figure is clamped into the
declared range on the way through.

Frequency and time controls span three or four decades, so those declare a log
scale and the slider maps exponentially; a linear slider would spend most of
its travel somewhere useless.

Reorder is a first-class control because chain order changes the sound: a
reverb before a compressor is not the same as after.

Carve gets its own block rather than an entry in the add menu, with a picker
for the voice track to listen to. It processes this track based on another one,
which is how a sidechain control works — it lives on the track that changes,
and names the source.

* feat(studio): show the Audio FX section on audio tracks

Adds `audioFx` to the editing-affordances contract and renders the FX panel in
the inspector when an `<audio>` element is selected.

The section is audio-only. A `<video>` carries its sound on a separate
`<audio>` element, so an FX chain on the video would have nothing to process.

Chain and carve settings are written straight back onto the element as
serialised attributes, the way colour grading carries its config, so
persistence is an ordinary attribute write and needs no new server route. A
chain that cannot be parsed renders as empty rather than breaking the panel,
and the attribute is left untouched until the user changes something.

The collapsed group summarises what is on the track ("2 effects + carve") so
the state is visible without expanding it.

Wired into PropertyPanelFlat rather than PropertyPanel: STUDIO_FLAT_INSPECTOR_ENABLED
defaults to true, so the flat inspector is what actually renders.

* refactor(studio): lift audioFxSummary out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` is 612 lines here against the repo's 600-line cap,
so the required File size check is red — the sole reason this PR is
blocked. The review says as much: "mechanical fix (~5 min), not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `audioFxSummary` to `audioFxSummary.ts`, the same file a later
branch creates for it. Deliberately the smallest cut that clears the cap
rather than the whole `AudioFxGroup` extraction: every later commit in the
stack edits AudioFxGroup, so moving it here would collide with each of
them, while almost nothing touches this function.

595 lines.

* feat(core,studio): hear the FX chain in preview, and run the carve analysis

Splices an element's FX chain into the playback graph so preview stops being
silent about effects, and wires the carve button that was previously inert.

The chain goes between the decoded source and its gain stage: effects see the
raw signal and volume automation rides on their output, matching the order the
offline render uses. Since preview and render call the same graph builders,
what is heard while scrubbing is what gets written.

The splice lives in the transport rather than on the `<audio>` element. The
transport plays each track from a decoded AudioBuffer and mutes the element to
avoid doubling, so capturing the element with createMediaElementSource would
have processed a stream nothing is listening to — it looked like it worked
because the call succeeded, and the audio was unchanged.

A chain that cannot be built plays dry rather than silencing the track, which
is the right failure in preview: the author keeps working and hears the source.
The render still refuses, because shipping the dry signal there would be wrong.

Carve now analyses for real: it decodes the chosen voice track, ranks its bands
and writes the resulting peaking filters onto this track. Generated nodes are
tagged `fromCarve`, so re-running replaces the previous carve instead of
stacking another set on top of hand-added effects.

Known limitation: the graph is built when a source is scheduled, so a knob
turned mid-playback takes effect on the next play or seek rather than
immediately. Live re-parameterisation needs the transport to hold the handle
and forward updates.

* fix(studio,core): stop parameter drags from restarting playback

Dragging a knob wrote the chain through the persisting attribute path on every
input event. That path refreshes the preview, which reloads the composition and
reschedules audio — so a single drag reloaded dozens of times and playback
stuttered the whole way.

Drags now go through `onSetAttributeLive`, the same path colour grading uses for
scrubs: it coalesces undo entries and sets `skipRefresh`, so no reload happens.
The persisting write fires once, when the gesture ends — pointer-up or blur for
a slider, Enter or blur for a typed value. A select commits immediately since
there is no drag to wait for.

While dragging, the control is driven from local state. Waiting for the value to
round-trip through the element attribute made the knob lag behind the pointer.

For the change to be audible without a reload, the graph now follows the
attribute: the chain installed by the transport observes the element and
re-parameterises itself in place, so a value change lands on the next
128-sample quantum. A shape change (effect added, bypassed, pole count) cannot
be patched into a running graph, so it still waits for the next schedule rather
than cutting the audio mid-play.

The regression test drags a slider through several values and asserts the
persisting handler is untouched until release.

* feat(studio): put the audio FX rack behind its canary

Gates the rack on `isCanaryEnabled("audio-fx-rack")`, which is registered
at 0% — so the whole 47-PR stack can land without showing anyone a feature
that has not been measured yet.

The gate sits on the AUTHORING surface and nowhere else. The runtime and
the render still honour a `data-fx-chain` already on an element, so a
composition written through the skill or by `carve.mjs` keeps its
processing rather than going silently dry for anyone outside the cohort. A
canary should stage who can REACH a feature, not make an attribute somebody
already wrote stop working with no error.

Gated at the panel rather than in `resolveEditingSections`: the affordance
resolver is a pure function in core describing what an element CAN support,
and rollout state is not a property of an `<audio>` tag.

Pinned the 0% with a test, and checked it fails at 25 — a ramp should have
to break something that says "this ships dark" out loud.

One gap, stated rather than papered over: the gate itself has no unit test.
I wrote one and deleted it, because `PropertyPanel.test.tsx`'s harness
never renders the Audio FX group for its audio fixture even with the gate
removed — so the test passed for the wrong reason in the off case and could
not pass at all in the on case. A test that cannot fail for the right
reason is worse than none. Verifying the gate needs the panel harness to
mount that section first, which is its own change.

* fix(core): register FX worklets before building nodes that need them

An AudioWorkletNode cannot be constructed before its processor is registered —
it throws, and the surrounding chain is lost with it. `attachElementFxChain`
built the chain first and only then called `ensureAudioFxWorklets`, so every
worklet-backed effect (compressor, limiter, gate, bitcrush) threw on
construction and the track fell back to dry. Instrumenting the preview showed
`hf-compressor: InvalidStateError` with addModule never called at all.

When the module has not landed yet the track now plays dry and the graph is
swapped in once registration resolves, so the effect arrives a moment late
instead of never.

Registration is also tracked per context rather than in one module-level
promise. A processor registered on one AudioContext does not exist on another,
so the shared promise made every context after the first believe it was ready
when it was not — the studio's transport owns its own context, which is exactly
that case.

With the worklets actually running, the compressor's per-sample log10 and pow
became real audio-thread work. Samples below the knee have a gain of exactly
unity and need neither, so the envelope is now compared in the linear domain
and the transcendentals only run for samples that are actually being
compressed.

* refactor(studio): split the FX node row out of FxSection

Clears the health findings the FX stack left behind: the chain-node render
callback was a 70-line closure over half of FxSection's state, and the two
reorder arrows were the same button written twice.

Also drops two exports with no consumers, and registers the audio FX runtime
stub as an entry point — it is bundled by file path, so nothing imports it.

* feat(core): automation envelope model for audio tracks

Adds the data model behind Ableton-style automation lanes: breakpoint
envelopes over track volume or one knob of one effect in the track's FX
chain, stored on the element as `data-automation`.

Times are clip-local, so an envelope travels with the clip when it moves —
the clip-envelope model rather than arrangement automation.

`sampleAutomationLane` is the single interpolator. The lane drawing, the
preview scheduler and the render bake all call it, so the picture and the
sound cannot disagree about the curve. Log-scaled parameters interpolate in
log space, matching what their own knob already promises.

FX nodes gain a stable `id`, minted by count rather than randomly so the
document is the same on every machine. Lanes address nodes by id, so
reordering a chain never re-points a lane at a different effect, and a lane
whose effect was deleted is dropped rather than left to reattach.

Also warns when a track carries both a volume lane and a GSAP volume tween,
since only the lane is heard and the tween silently does nothing.

* refactor(studio): lift the audio FX group out of PropertyPanelFlat

`PropertyPanelFlat.tsx` was 672 lines against the repo's 600-line cap, so
the required File size check was red — the sole reason #3014 and #3022 are
blocked. Both reviews say the same thing: "mechanical fix, not a design
problem. Code itself is LGTM."

Moves `AudioFxGroup` and `audioFxSummary` into
`propertyPanelAudioFxGroup.tsx`, which is where a later branch puts them
anyway — done here so the file is under the cap from the point it first
crosses it, rather than ten branches later.

533 lines now. The four audio imports it no longer needs go with it.

Not fixed here: three `FxSection carve` tests fail on this branch with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toFixed')". Confirmed
pre-existing by stashing this change and re-running — that is the separate
`Test` failure the review also flags.

* feat(core): expose the AudioParams behind automatable FX knobs

Marks the knobs an automation lane can drive and has each graph builder hand
back the AudioParam behind them, so a scheduler can write to a running effect
without knowing what the effect is.

A knob is not always one AudioParam. A wet/dry mix is two gains moving in
opposition, and a knob in milliseconds drives a delay time in seconds, so
each target carries the mapping out of the knob's own declared unit.

What stays unautomatable is stated where it is decided: a WaveShaper curve, a
convolution impulse and a one-pole filter's coefficients are all rebuilt
wholesale rather than scheduled, and the four worklet effects take values by
postMessage rather than through AudioParams.

The registry flag is written by hand, so a test builds every effect and
checks the exposure both ways — nothing flagged is missing, nothing exposed
is unflagged. A flag that lied would offer a lane that silently did nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(core): play automation envelopes in preview

Schedules each lane onto the AudioParams behind its knob using native ramps
and value curves. Nothing evaluates the envelope per frame: it is handed to
the audio thread once, so it stays sample-accurate however busy the main
thread is, and the offline render will schedule it the same way.

Timing comes from the transport, so an envelope survives seeking into the
middle of a clip, a clip that has not started yet, and a playback rate that
compresses clip seconds into context seconds.

A straight line is only scheduled as a ramp when nothing bends it — no
curvature, a linear parameter scale, and no unit mapping. Log-scaled
parameters and mapped ones are sampled instead, since a delay knob in
milliseconds and a wet/dry pair moving in opposition are not linear in the
parameter they drive.

Lanes with nowhere to write are skipped rather than reported: a one-pole
filter exposes no frequency param, and the worklet effects expose none at
all. Editing an envelope mid-playback re-aims it at the live playhead rather
than restarting the track.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): make the volume lane audible in preview

The envelope was scheduled onto the transport's gain AudioParam, but the
runtime rewrites that gain every tick from `data-volume` and the GSAP-seeked
value — so it was erased within a frame. Volume automation was correct in the
render and inaudible while previewing.

The lane now feeds the per-tick path where the probed volume keyframes already
sit, checked ahead of them so the two cannot fight, and the transport no
longer schedules volume at all: one mechanism instead of two racing.

The cost is honest — in preview the level steps per tick rather than per
sample, exactly as the existing keyframe path does. The render still bakes it
into the PCM sample-accurately, and FX parameters are still scheduled on their
own AudioParams, since nothing rewrites those.

Parsed lanes are cached by attribute text: the runtime asks once per tick per
track, and parsing there would run the JSON parser 60 times a second for a
value that only changes on an edit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(engine): bake automation envelopes into the render

The offline render schedules FX lanes with the same scheduler preview uses,
inside the OfflineAudioContext that already runs the same graph builders. The
input WAV is the clip's own audio from its first sample, so clip-local time
is offline time and the envelope needs no offset.

Volume lanes take the existing PCM bake rather than a second mechanism: the
lane is converted to keyframes, so a straight fade stays two of them and only
a bent segment is sampled — the baker interpolates linearly and would
otherwise quietly straighten the curve. A volume lane supersedes keyframes
probed from the timeline, which `lint` already warns about.

A browser test sweeps a lowpass from below a 2 kHz tone to well above it and
measures both ends. Parsing the envelope is not the same as scheduling it,
and only running the real thing tells the two apart.

* fix(core): apply chain edits to the running graph

A structural edit — an effect added, removed, bypassed, or a filter's pole
count switched — was dropped. `buildFxChain`'s update reports false when the
change is not merely new values, and the attribute observer ignored that, so
the edit only took hold when the persisting write reloaded the composition.
That reload restarted every playing track, which is what was heard as the
audio chopping.

The graph is now swapped in place: the old effects are detached, the new ones
built and connected between the same source and gain, and any lanes
re-scheduled onto the new nodes. The source node is never touched, so playback
does not restart.

A track with no chain is watched too, rather than wired through and forgotten,
so adding its first effect is heard the same way. That means the function
always returns a disposer instead of null for the empty case.

* fix(studio): drop the FX panel's dead __testables export

Fallow audit flagged it — no test imports the module.

* fix(core,studio): clear the remaining Fallow audit findings on the FX panel

- Split FxSection's per-node row into FxNodeRow + FxNodeControls so the
  CRAP score (31.6, threshold 30) splits across two smaller units instead
  of moving wholesale with one extraction.
- Dedupe the repeated "open the add menu, read its items" block in
  propertyPanelFxSection.test.tsx into openAddMenuItems().
- Merge build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts into
  one build-inline-artifact.ts, config-selected by CLI arg — the two
  scripts were a byte-for-byte clone save for names.
- Exempt canary.test.ts's rawFnv (a deliberate independent
  reimplementation used to cross-check canaryBucket, per its own
  docstring) and the property-panel test files' shared renderInto/mount
  scaffolding (pre-existing across 9 files, 2 outside this stack) in
  .fallowrc.jsonc, consistent with this file's existing exemptions for
  the same class of intentional/pre-existing duplication.

* fix(ci): allowlist the build-script consolidation in the no-main-deletions guard

build-audio-fx-runtime.ts and build-position-edits-render.ts were merged into
build-inline-artifact.ts to kill a fallow duplication finding; the deletion
guard flagged that as an accidental loss since main still has both originals.

* fix(core): dedupe the wet/dry mix math between delayFeedback and chorusLfo

Both effect builders set wet.gain to the mix and dry.gain to its complement
in identical two-line blocks; fallow kept re-flagging it as a 10-line clone
on every unrelated change. Extracted setWetDryMix.

* fix(core): remove the build-audio-fx-runtime.ts stray resurrected by a main merge

An earlier merge with main brought this deleted file back (git's merge/delete
handling on an unchanged-on-one-side file); package.json already points at
build-inline-artifact.ts, so it sat unreachable and duplicating that file's
config, both of which fallow flagged.

* fix(studio): pull TimelineLanes under the 600-line cap

TimelineLanes.tsx hit 620 lines. Extracted the three per-clip pointer
gestures (resize-start, pointer-down move-arm, click/razor-split) into
createClipGestureHandlers — one factory call per rendered clip instead of
~120 lines of inline handler bodies in the render loop. 529 lines now.

* fix(studio): split the extracted pointerdown handler under the CRAP threshold

Moving the ~120-line gesture logic into timelineClipGestureHandlers.ts
concentrated it into two functions fallow flagged (onPointerDown at CRAP
63.6, onResizeStart at 31.6). Split the decision logic (which gesture a
pointerdown implies) into a pure resolvePointerDownAction, then split
its own intent-blocking check into isIntentBlocked. onResizeStart's guard
moved into canStartResize. Every function now scores under 30.

* fix(studio): drop the unused DomEditSelection import in PropertyPanelFlat

CI caught it on PR #3026 (wa-12-panel-params); a later refactor in the
stack removed the last use of the type here without removing the import.

* fix(studio): close the typecheck and fallow gaps wa-18b-reschedule opened

useAutomationLanes.ts's write() assumed gesture-scoped coalescing and a
preview-only commit that useDomEditAttributeCommits.ts never grew — backported
that option support from its own later commit so the two sides of the API
agree. The paste path and its tests were missing the box selection's v0/v1
bounds a sibling commit added to AutomationSelection. The FX panel's carve
controls still edited the six mechanism numbers (maxCutDb, bands,
intelligibilityBias) after carveProfile() collapsed authoring to one Strength
knob, so those fields no longer existed on HfCarveSettings; UI now edits
strength, and analyseCarveBands is called with carveProfile(strength).

Also closes fallow's complexity, dead-code and duplication findings on this
PR's diff: extracted automationLaneDragMath.ts (pure group/point-move math)
and useAutomationRangeDrag.ts (the marquee-select gesture) out of
useAutomationLaneGestures.ts, pulled a couple of render-loop ternaries and a
resolver into named functions, dropped an export nothing outside its file
used, and shared a step-simplifier between audioCarve's two envelope
builders.

The edge-stretch vs. box-select priority test in TimelineAutomationLane.test
was still pinning the pre-box-select rule (edge wins over a point sitting on
it) that a sibling commit deliberately reversed — a point inside the box is
now selected content, so grabbing it drags the group instead. Updated the
test to the shipped rule instead of the old one.

* fix(core): cap the via conic's weight so an edge-clamped via point can't NaN

A via point pulled out past the segment (viaX: 5, viaY: -3) clamps to
(0.999, 0.001) — exactly on the steady region's edge, where edge - viaX is 0.
viaConic divided by that zero to get an infinite weight, and shapeVia turned
Infinity into NaN a few steps later (Infinity - Infinity in the quadratic
coefficient). NaN reaching setValueCurveAtTime silences the automated
parameter for the rest of the render.

Capped the weight at 1e6 instead of leaving it unbounded — past that point
the arc already reads as touching the via point, so nothing visible is lost.
Also hardened shapeVia's existing denominator guard (`<= 0`) to `!(> 0)`,
since NaN fails the original comparison and fell through it.

* fix(studio-server): fingerprint the proactive waveform cache key too

The route already keys the waveform cache on the asset's size and mtime as
well as its path, so a rebuilt-in-place file gets fresh peaks instead of
stale ones. generateWaveformCache — the proactive path that runs on upload —
still called buildWaveformCacheKey with the path alone, so it wrote to a
different key than the route reads from (making the pre-generated cache
never found) and kept the exact collision bug this fingerprint exists to fix
on its own path.

* style(docs): run oxfmt on the /hyperframes-audio skill docs

Table column widths had drifted out of alignment with oxfmt's own rules,
failing format:check and blocking the Preflight gate every downstream
branch inherits. Whitespace only, no content change.

* fix(studio): widen PropertyPanel's resetModules render timeout again

The 20s margin (already once widened for the same reason) is timing out in
CI's full-monorepo Test run — the resetModules()+fresh-import render this
test needs is uncached and competes with every other package's test suite
for the same worker pool, and the same test passes in well under 2s
standalone. Went to 45s rather than re-tuning to whatever number happens to
clear the current CI load, since that number moves every time CI gains a
package.

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always (#3212)

* feat(core): carve against every voice over a bed, always dynamically

A bed usually runs under a whole sequence — a narrator, an interview answer, a
second presenter — and carving against one of them left the others fighting it.
`source` becomes `sources`, and `mixCarveSources` sums every voice onto the BED's
clock before anything is measured. That is what keeps one analysis sufficient: the
chain is fixed, so there is no per-voice filter to switch between, and bands drawn
from all the speech there is with envelopes that rise wherever any of it happens
answer the actual question — where and when is speech masking this bed.

Summed rather than averaged: two people talking at once mask more than either
alone. Audio before the bed starts is dropped rather than folded in at zero, since
it plays over nothing and shifting it would put a cut where there is no voice.

`dynamic` is gone. A fixed depth thins the bed through every pause, and once both
have been heard there is no reason to want it, so every carve follows the speech.

Two helpers the panel and the headless script now share instead of each carrying a
copy — two definitions of "what does this name suggest" drift, and then the two
disagree about which track is the voice:

- `classifyAudioName` reads a track's kind from its id and filename together.
  `unknown` is deliberately common: treating an unrecognised name as "not a voice"
  would hide the one track somebody needs to pick.
- `clipsOverlap` keeps out a voice that never plays while the bed does. An unwritten
  duration counts as unbounded, not zero — refusing a clip whose length the
  composition leaves to the media would drop the commonest case there is.

Files written before this still load: a single `source` reads as a one-voice list,
a stored `dynamic` is ignored, and an absent attribute means the defaults whole.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(core): stop \b from missing underscore-separated names, guard clipsOverlap's negative duration

\b treats `_` as a word character, so \bbed\b never matched bed_01,
music_bed_loop, or theme_song, and \bvo\b/\bvox\b/\btts\b had the same gap —
an underscore-separated bed classified as "unknown" and could end up offered
as its own carve source. Replaced the short hints with a boundary that
actually excludes letters and digits on both sides.

clipsOverlap computed end = start + duration without guarding sign, so a
negative duration put end before start — an interval that does not describe
anything, and one specific case showed it silently dropping a real overlap
(a shorter, earlier broken end rejected a clip that genuinely contained the
point). Duration clamps to zero instead: a clip cannot un-play time, and a
zero-length clip at its start is the sane reading of "duration nobody wrote
down as positive."

* fix(studio): port the carve UI off the removed source/dynamic fields

#3212 (accidentally squash-merged into this branch instead of main) changed
HfCarveSettings from a single `source` + `dynamic` toggle to a `sources`
list with dynamic mode removed outright — the multi-voice UI consumer that
goes with that shape lands in the very next PR, so this branch was left with
a type that no longer matched its own code.

Minimal port, not the multi-voice redesign that PR does properly: the
"Listen to" picker and analyse() treat sources[0] as the one voice this UI
still understands, and every dynamic-mode branch (the automated envelope
lanes, the toggle, the checkbox) is gone along with the field — a carve is
now always the static value the analysis computes, matching what the type
change made permanent. Test suite trimmed the same way: the automation-lane
and toggle tests covered behavior that no longer exists.

James RussoandLance Curtis d3a4e90370 fix(skills): stop embedded-captions shipping author-only paths; dedupe slideshow (#3225)
* fix(skills): stop embedded-captions shipping author-only paths

The skill is distributed via `hyperframes skills` (--copy, so the installed
bundle matches the published tree), but three shipped files pointed at
directories that only exist on the original author's machine.

- references/test-set.md: deleted. Nothing in the skill referenced it (zero
  inbound links across all 140 files), and its corpus lives at
  ~/Downloads/heygen_relevant_videos/, so it was neither reachable nor runnable.
- SKILL.md / dna/README.md: the retired 54-template archive was stated as
  living at a ~/Downloads path. Keeps the fact, drops the false location.
- themes/PORTING.md: marked maintainer-only. It authors new theme DNAs rather
  than using the skill, nothing links it, and its inputs (the cap_fx3 demos,
  the frame corpora, CONTRACT.md) are not distributed. The paths stay as the
  author's original layout, now explicitly labelled as names for the inputs.

The 10 references to ~/Downloads/hyperframes are untouched: those are the
documented last resort in a real chain (HYPERFRAMES_ROOT -> in-repo -> that
path), and every file carrying it also carries the env var.

Regenerates skills-manifest.json, which hashes the whole skill directory.

Closes #3219

— Rames Jusso (James's assistant)

* fix(skills): delete themes/PORTING.md instead of marking it internal

Nothing in the skill referenced it, its inputs are not distributed, and git
history keeps it recoverable. Marking a dead procedure still ships the dead
procedure.

— Rames Jusso (James's assistant)

* fix(skills): remove duplicated media-cleanup block in slideshow

The media-cleanup and global-nav-mute sections appeared twice in
skills/slideshow/SKILL.md. The two copies were not identical: the later one
was missing the paragraph requiring custom media controls to sync through
media events. Deletes the incomplete copy, keeps the complete one.

Originally authored in #3218. Carried here re-signed because the org requires
signed commits and both changes regenerate skills-manifest.json, which would
otherwise conflict between the two PRs.

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 9734578e60 feat(registry): bring back the video-primitive moves (#3169)
Restores the 208 catalog items reverted after their previews 404'd in
production, this time on the payload mechanism rather than the .html files
that caused the outage.

The generator no longer writes a preview document to docs/public. That writer,
and the machinery under it, existed only to produce files the docs host
discards, so it is gone rather than bypassed. Items now embed the composition
itself via a payload, which is what the previous change already does for the
items that were already in the catalog.

The variables explorer is parked, not restored: it drove its preview through
the same unpublished .html path, so it would have shown an empty frame. Items
that declare variables get the live player plus the static variables table, and
reconnecting the explorer to payloads is a follow-up.

Miguel Ángel 3b53bfd2f7 feat(registry): the video-primitive moves, documented and customisable (#3090)
* feat(registry): add the video-primitive moves, and rebuild the catalog around them

Adds the motion primitives: 277 new components and the blocks that go with
them, plus the ui-primitives, themes and generators they are produced by. The
registry index goes from 176 items to 454, and the search catalog is rebuilt so
the set that is ranked is the set that can be installed.

Additive on purpose. An earlier pass of this port used rsync --delete, which
removed 101 files that exist on main because the incoming set is not a superset
of the current one: beat-freeze-cut and camcorder-hud among them. Whether the
re-port replaces those or sits alongside them is a product decision and not one
a sync flag should make, so nothing is removed here. If any of them are meant
to go, that belongs in its own commit where it can be seen.

The generator is ported too. Main's version only scans examples, so running it
without this change silently rewrote the index down to nine items. It also
rewrites example manifests from templates.json and will overwrite hand-edits;
those were reverted here after each run, and the diff is worth reading rather
than trusting.

Not covered. The 445 moves are not individually reviewed in this commit; the
machinery that ranks and installs them landed separately so it could be read on
its own. The internal evaluation corpus is deliberately absent: it is 1,400
files of briefs, gold labels and verdicts, and this repository is public.

* docs(catalog): publish the primitive and component pages

Adds the Mintlify pages for the moves this PR ships: 163 component pages, 13
primitive pages, and the navigation that lists them. Without these the moves
land installable and undocumented, which is the worse half of a catalog.

Three things left out deliberately.

The 78 MB of docs/public. Nothing references it: every page loads its preview
from static.heygen.ai, so those bytes would be weight in a public repo with no
reader. Checked rather than assumed, by grepping the pages for the path.

Pages for the thirteen moves that were specified and never built. They had
documentation but no registry item, so a reader would have followed a page to a
`hyperframes add` that fails. Their nav entries are pruned with them, and every
one of the 309 remaining catalog and primitive nav entries was verified to point
at a page that exists.

Spike and scratch files that sit alongside the real docs on the source branch:
qa-gallery.html, experiment pages, bundled player javascript. They are working
artifacts, not documentation.

Not covered: the pages are generated output and have not been read individually.
The nav is verified to resolve, and the previews load from a CDN this commit
does not control, so a broken image would show up in review rather than here.

* docs: list the primitive and component pages in the site navigation

The pages this PR adds were unreachable: nothing in docs.json pointed at them.
This appends a Motion primitives group to the existing Catalog tab and a
Primitives tab, both built from main's navigation rather than replacing it.

Copying the source branch's docs.json wholesale was the first attempt and was
wrong. That file describes a different site, tabs Documentation / Catalog /
Primitives / Packages / SDK / Reference against main's Guides / Studio /
Catalog / Developers, and it references pages only that branch has, so the
preview server reported six dead links.

Verified by running the preview and resolving every entry: 484 page refs, 0
dead, no warnings. Group-relative refs are why a flat existence check is the
wrong validator here: cursor resolves through catalog/components and mcp
through guides, so checking docs/<ref>.mdx flat pruned 22 entries that were
fine.

* fix(registry): restore what the port took from main's components

Two regressions this branch introduced into items main already ships. Both were
found by the repo's own gates in packages/cli, not by reading the diff, and
neither is visible to the no-deletions check: no file was deleted, the contents
of files were changed.

The four liquid-glass blocks stopped installing their library. main lists
lib/liquid-glass.iife.js as a second file on each; the port wrote the older
manifest over main's and dropped that entry. The file is still in git and still
on disk, it simply stopped being something `hyperframes add` writes, so the
installed composition's <script src="lib/liquid-glass.iife.js"> would have
resolved to nothing. Every one of the 294 registry-item.json files this branch
touches was then audited against main: these four lost a file entry, and no
item lost a top-level key.

Fourteen caption components gained an empty <video>. The port added
`<video id="wp-video" ...></video>` — no src, no <source> — to each component
and its demo. It renders nothing and the registry linter rejects it as
media_missing_src. Removed rather than given a placeholder, because main's
version of each of these composes over whatever the host composition provides,
so the element only ever added a broken node; a made-up src would ship a
reference to footage that does not exist.

The removal is deliberately surgical. Four of the fourteen also carry a
substantial rewrite from the port, and only the media element and the rule that
styled it are touched, so a blunt revert cannot take the rewrite with it.

Verified: 2540 CLI tests pass, `bun run lint` exits 0. Before this, three tests
failed.

* docs(catalog): play the real composition, and show what can be changed

Four changes to generate-catalog-pages.ts, so all 445 pages stay consistent
rather than 445 files being edited by hand.

The preview plays the composition instead of pointing at a video. Every new
page pointed at static.heygen.ai/<name>.mp4 and every one of those answered
403, so the reader got a black box where the whole point of the page is to
show them the thing. The objects were never uploaded and rendering 445 of them
would have to happen again on every change. The player is already the thing
being documented, so the page embeds it: the item's directory is copied under
docs/public and an iframe loads it through a small wrapper. 444 of 445 pages
play; the remaining one is a texture item that uses its own preview panel.

The iframe is not decoration. Compositions set styles on `body`, so dropping
the element straight into the MDX would put a composition's global CSS in the
same document as the documentation around it.

Three things this got wrong first, all found by opening the page rather than
reading the output:

  - The wrapper loaded itself. `../<dir>/<name>.html` from inside preview/<dir>/
    resolves back into preview/<dir>/. The player embedded the player and the
    frame went black with a second set of controls shrinking into the corner.
  - Copying only demo.html was not enough. Most demos are a mount shell whose
    child carries data-composition-src="./<name>.html", so the sibling has to
    come with it. Every URL answered 200 and the frame was still empty.
  - `autoplay` and `loop` are not player attributes. Writing them did nothing
    and every preview sat paused on frame 0 — which is blank for any
    composition that animates in. The wrapper drives play() and loops on
    `ended` instead.

The Variables table. generateParams reads `params`; every item ported from the
video-primitives work declares `variables`, a richer schema with a type, a
default and a range. 112 items carry one and not a single page showed it, so
the most useful thing on the page was the one thing missing.

Nav groups. `if (entry.type === "component") return "Effects"` was the
catch-all, so Effects held 267 of 445 pages: an alphabetical wall. Rules keyed
on tags that already exist in the manifests split it; the largest group is now
73.

An install command with a visible copy button. A plain code fence renders one
on hover only, and it was absent from the accessibility tree entirely. This is
the one line every reader comes to take. navigator.clipboard is unavailable on
insecure origins, which is exactly the local preview these pages are written
against, so the fallback path is load-bearing and is what was exercised in
testing.

Verified: 888 preview URLs fetched, 0 failures. Regenerating three times in a
row produces no change, after a first attempt where "Variables" was added to
GENERATED_HEADINGS with a capital V — the set is compared lowercased, so each
run carried the previous section forward and appended a new one.

Not covered: the 445 pages were not read individually. Coverage here is that
every preview resolves and that a page from each of the block and component
paths was opened and watched.

* docs(catalog): put the code on the page

A reviewer with no stake in the work compared these pages against shadcn/ui's
component pages and motion.dev, and returned one gap: the pages carry almost no
code, so they are pointers to a file the reader does not have yet. Its sharpest
example was the Variables table — names, defaults and accepted values, headed
"set the ones you want to change on the element", on a page that never shows an
element or the syntax for setting anything on one.

Two additions, in the generator so all 445 pages get them.

A snippet under the Variables table: the real mount element with
data-variable-values filled in from the item's own defaults, so it is
copy-and-run correct before it is edited. That is the syntax the demos actually
use, not an illustration written for the page.

The item's source, in a collapsed Accordion. These files run 99 to 463 lines,
so inlining them raw would bury everything else; collapsed, the code is on the
page and one click away. Accordion is already what these docs use for this.

A second reviewer, fresh, confirmed the change landed: it called the table and
snippet actionable rather than filler and said the collapsed source earns its
place.

Also here: the preview retries play() until the clock moves. `ready` can flip
before the runtime the player injects for a mounted sub-composition has finished
wiring up, and a play() landing in that window silently does nothing.

Both reviewers additionally reported every preview frozen at 0:00 and called it
fatal. It is not. The player's clock runs on requestAnimationFrame
(direct-timeline-clock.ts), browsers suspend rAF in a hidden tab, and the
reviewing tab was hidden: document.visibilityState read "hidden" while the
player reported ready and not paused, and a one-second rAF loop never completed
a single tick. Seeking the same composition by hand renders it correctly at any
offset. So the retry stops after ~15s instead of spinning forever, and the
comment says why an automated check of a background tab will always read 0.

Not covered: the reviewers' other standing finding, that only some items carry
variables at all, so the pages do not have one shape. 125 of the 206 items
tagged as a primitive declare none, and giving them variables means authoring
them into each composition, not editing metadata.

Verified: lint exits 0, the no-deletions gate passes, nav resolves 598 refs with
0 dead, and regenerating three times running changes nothing.

* feat(registry): give 55 primitives variables that actually do something

The catalog pages listed variables for 112 of 454 items and nothing for the
rest, so most pages could show a reader what a piece looks like but not what
they could change about it. This adds them to 55 more, taking the count to 167.

These are not metadata. A variable is only real if the composition reads it, so
each one is declared on the root, validated in the composition's own script, and
wired to something visible: travel distance, blur radius, direction, density,
accent family, tone, label text. Declaring a knob the code ignores would put a
table in the published docs that lies about the piece, which is worse than
having no table.

Every one falls back to its declared default when the incoming value is missing
or unrecognised, so a bad override degrades to the shipped look rather than to a
broken frame. With no overrides at all, each item renders exactly as it did
before: that was checked per item against `git show HEAD:` in a real browser,
comparing computed styles rather than eyeballing.

Four things this ran into that are worth writing down.

An apostrophe anywhere in a description terminates the single-quoted
data-composition-variables attribute and breaks the HTML parse. Every
declaration in the registry now parses; that is checked, not assumed.

Where a timeline drives GSAP's own y/scale/filter, GSAP writes inline styles
that beat any CSS custom property, so those knobs cannot be won from the
composition. Most of these items keep their motion in a user-owned "Timeline
integration" comment rather than in code, so no timing variables were declared
for them at all. A direction knob on a wipe can still be wired honestly, by
remapping clip-path inset sides through multipliers whose defaults reproduce the
original exactly.

Colour tokens that only reach a :focus-visible outline, or an element sitting at
opacity 0 at rest, render identically in a video. Those were skipped rather than
shipped as knobs that appear to do nothing.

CSS shorthand defaults need care: `border: var(--x, 0 solid transparent)` moves
computed border-color off currentColor even at zero width. Defaults were chosen
to reproduce the original computed style, not merely to look equivalent.

Not covered: 72 primitives still have no variables, and the UI-primitive demos
that scripts/sync-ui-primitives.ts mirrors are now stale for the converted
items. Nothing runs that script in CI today.

Verified: every declaration parses and deep-equals its manifest array, every
declared id is read by the composition, no demo.html changed, and lint exits 0.

* feat(registry): variables for 16 more primitives, and stop the snippet clipping

Takes the count from 167 to 183 of 454. Same contract as the last batch: each
variable is declared on the root, validated in the composition's own script,
and wired to something visible, because a knob the code ignores would put a
table in the published docs that lies about the piece.

The snippet under each Variables table was clipping. Its data-variable-values
payload is one long line and the code block cut it off mid-value, with no wrap
and no scrollbar, so the one line on the page that exists to be copied could not
be read. The fence now carries `wrap`. Worth noting how that survived: the
generated markdown was correct and every mechanical check passed. It only failed
in a browser, which is where it was eventually seen.

Two techniques this round that are worth keeping.

Where an accent has a themed token family, the knob sets a new custom property
consumed by that one surface, with a fallback to the existing token, rather than
overriding the shared accent. Default therefore sets nothing, so an externally
themed accent is not clobbered, and the non-default options still follow the
theme in both light and dark.

Where GSAP owns the property outright and no CSS multiply can win — number-wheel
animates `y` inline — the knob is wired at build time instead: extra revolutions
lengthen the digit strip and move the target, so travel changes while the resting
frame stays identical. That is a real answer rather than a skipped knob.

Motion knobs that multiply a timeline-driven custom property collapse to identity
at rest, so every one of them was verified with that property pinned to a
mid-flight value rather than at t=0, where all options look the same by
construction.

Not covered: 56 primitives still have no variables.

Verified: every declaration parses and deep-equals its manifest array, every
declared id is read by the composition, no demo.html changed, lint exits 0, and
the wrap fix was confirmed on the rendered page rather than in the markdown.

* feat(registry): variables for 21 more primitives

Takes the count from 183 to 204 of 454. Same contract: declared on the root,
validated in the composition script, wired to something visible, defaults
reproducing the pre-edit render exactly.

Three kinds of knob were turned down this round rather than faked, and the
reasons are worth keeping.

A knob that contradicts its own motion. The sheet panel could be moved to the
left, but the recipe drives GSAP x from the right, so the panel would slide in
from the wrong side while the control claimed otherwise.

A knob that needs two defaults. A separator length means width horizontally and
height vertically, so one token would be wrong half the time.

An option that is not an option. Two components were given a green accent that
probed byte-identical to their default, because the theme accent already is that
token. A row in the docs table that does nothing is worse than a missing row, so
it was replaced with one that differs.

Accent knobs set a new property with a fallback to the shared token rather than
overriding it, verified by rendering with an external accent in place and
confirming the default still yields to it. Motion knobs multiply a
timeline-driven property so they never fight the inline styles GSAP writes;
because those collapse to identity at rest, each was checked twice, once at rest
against HEAD and once with the driven property pinned mid-flight.

Verified: every declaration parses and deep-equals its manifest array, every
declared id is read, defaults match HEAD on computed styles and on a pixel hash
of the rendered element, no demo.html changed, lint exits 0, and the
no-deletions gate passes.

* feat(registry): variables for 4 more primitives, and make manifests agree with their compositions

Takes the count to 207 of 454.

Four items carried a different description for their exit variable in
registry-item.json than in their own data-composition-variables. The catalog page
renders the manifest, so the published table described the knob one way while the
composition header described it another. The composition wins: it is the file
that implements the variable and the declaration is what the runtime reads.

The skill docs no longer describe a hosted tier, since the CLI now ships the two
local tiers only, and skills-manifest.json is regenerated to match.

* feat(registry): variables for 4 more primitives

Takes the count to 211 of 454.

Two knobs are worth calling out because they touch things the timeline also
touches. skeleton-block slide multiplies the driven row offset, so it is
identity at rest and only bends the middle of the move. slider value sets the
resting fill together with the readout text, aria-valuenow and aria-valuetext,
so all three agree; a composition that tweens the fill takes over from there and
owns the readout, which the comment header states plainly rather than hiding. A
multiplier was rejected there because a 0 to 1 tween would push the fill past
the end of the track.

Knobs on elements that sit at opacity 0 at rest were kept only where the shipped
recipe reveals them, and verified with the reveal forced on as well as at rest.
Skipped: an aria-label string knob that never renders, and an accent token
declared in one item CSS that nothing consumes.

* refactor(registry): drop the UI primitives, this is a video catalog

Removes 66 items tagged ui-primitive: accordions, buttons, inputs, dialogs, a
calendar. They are a shadcn-style interface component set that happens to be
expressible as HTML. None of them animate anything, so in a catalog whose job is
to offer moves for video they widen the surface without making it more useful,
and each one is a page a reader has to skip past to reach something that moves.

Every one is new on this branch. None exists on main, so nothing main ships is
being taken away; that was confirmed against origin/main before deleting rather
than assumed, and the no-deletions gate still passes.

Removed with them: registry/ui-primitives, the Operator Black token and contract
files only these items consumed, and the tooling that maintained them
(sync-ui-primitives.ts and scripts/lib/ui-primitives). No other registry item
declares a dependency on any of the 66, so nothing else loses a piece. The now
empty UI Primitives navigation rule goes too.

Generated output is pruned with the sources. The page generator writes files but
never removes ones whose source has gone, so a stale page would have survived and
404d its own preview. Verified: 0 orphan pages, 0 orphan previews, and the
navigation resolves 532 references with none dead.

This does discard variables authored for 54 of them earlier on this branch. That
work is in the history if these ever come back, and it is the right trade: they
should not have been in a video catalog to begin with.

The catalog is now 388 items. Lint exits 0 and 2522 CLI tests pass.

* feat(registry): every motion and transition primitive is now customisable

The last 16 primitives get variables, so none is left without them. 173 of 388
items now declare variables; the rest are blocks and showcases, which are whole
scenes rather than parameterised moves.

Same contract throughout: declared on the root, validated in the composition
script, wired to something visible, and falling back to the declared default on
missing or unrecognised input. With no overrides every item renders exactly as
it did before, verified per item against the pre-change render in a real browser
at rest and at pinned mid-flight states, comparing computed styles and rects and
in most cases a screenshot hash.

This round refused several knobs rather than shipping ones that only look real.

A tilt-card depth knob was written, measured, and thrown away: the card sets
overflow hidden, which forces transform-style flat, so the authored translateZ
is already inert and every option probed identical. It ships a glow knob
instead, which drives inset and visibly changes at rest and under the drift.

slot-machine-roll has no free travel knob because the roll is exactly one row
height and any multiplier lands the reel off-register; size scales row height
and roll distance together, which is the only honest version. soft-blur-in
offers up and down but not left and right, because the shipped tween resets y
and not x, so a horizontal offset would never animate away.

Two pre-existing bugs surfaced while checking honestly, both left alone as out
of scope but worth recording. zoom-through-transition and tracking-in each tween
a custom property that is never set, so CSS reads it as zero and the move starts
from zero rather than from its authored value. The depth and tracking knobs are
scoped around that and their headers say so, rather than pretending the tween is
what it appears to be.

Verified: 388 items, 0 primitives without variables, 0 items where the manifest
and the composition disagree, 0 declared-but-unread variables, nav resolves 532
references with none dead, no demo.html changed, lint exits 0, and the
no-deletions gate passes.

* feat(registry): raise the catalog quality bar, and add eight primitives

Cuts 37 components, adds 8, and writes down the standard both decisions were
made against.

The 37 removals are all new on this branch and absent from main, so nothing
shipped is withdrawn. Each was audited with two pieces of evidence: source
identity after name normalisation, and a composition-level contact sheet
showing the members animate identically.

The largest group was 13 files byte-identical apart from an h3 and one
sentence. Nothing marqueed, panned, zoomed, deployed or dragged. An honesty
tiebreak decided survivors: frosted-glass-wipe has no backdrop-filter,
spring-scale-in has no spring, masked-slide-reveal has no mask,
short-slide-right travels up, and three-particle-ribbon differs from
three-orbiting-cards by one number while having neither particles nor a
ribbon.

Two independent audits agreed 10 out of 10 on a shared calibration sample,
in both directions, including three items a first pass wrongly condemned.

The rubric is the durable part. Fatal criteria are separated from fixable
ones, because no-timeline alone hits 97 items including some of the best;
promoting it would have cut 97 and left a worse catalog. It also records the
harness rules that make a verdict reproducible: render from the composition
rather than the demo, since demos carry content the installed item does not,
and mount sub-compositions rather than inlining them, since inlining renders
black frames indistinguishable from a dead item.

The eight additions target measured gaps. Camera language ranked first
because PSNR across 30 reference demos showed the most impressive
environments barely move: they are sets, not shots.

camera-shake carries nine lens-accurate profiles, amplitude scaled by focal
length so a wide lens shakes differently from a telephoto. rack-focus splats
each light through the aperture shape, so a defocused point becomes an image
of the iris, with flux conserved so highlights survive defocus.
camera-dolly-zoom solves focal length from distance, holding subject size to
0.000 percent drift while the background grows 53 percent. Plus
oscilloscope-trace with history-free phosphor persistence, bar-chart-race,
split-flap-board, spiral-galaxy and vfx-anamorphic-flare.

Each is verified by rendered frames and a seek-equals-playback check rather
than by check passing, which is not a visual gate.

* fix(registry): let the split-flap board finish flipping on screen

The board declared 8s but every flap had settled by 3.5s, so more than half the composition was a still frame and the catalog preview opened on it.

* fix(registry): keep the thread-message-stack payload parseable

A line wrap had put literal newlines inside the JSON string literals of the blocks data-hf-primitive-data payload, so JSON.parse threw in the browser and the composition never ran. The preview script hid it: it rewrote the payload in the temporary copy it captured from, so the catalog picture looked right while every installed copy stayed broken. That repair pass is gone and the payload is fixed where it ships.

Its two tests could not have caught this. Both were written against vitest in a directory the repo runs with node:test, so neither was in test:scripts and neither had ever run. They are converted and registered, along with a new one that JSON.parses every payload in the registry, and that one was checked against the re-wrapped shape before being kept.

* fix(registry): close the apostrophe that truncated a variables declaration

chromatic-aberration-wipe described its accent as "the incoming scene's gradient" inside a single-quoted data-composition-variables attribute, so the attribute ended mid-JSON and the tag never closed. The formatter refused to parse the file, which is how it surfaced, but the runtime would have read a truncated declaration.

Also formats the 159 registry and docs files the branch had left unformatted, regenerates the skills manifest, and drops docs/primitives: those 13 pages import /snippets/PrimitivePlayer.jsx and read docs/public/primitives/, neither of which is on this branch, so mint failed the build on them. Nothing links to them and they ship whole on feat-video-primitives.

CI ran test:scripts before building core, so the preview test added here failed on a missing dist rather than on anything it checks. It now runs after the builds.

* fix(registry): make the review findings real fixes

Ten items declared variables on their composition root but had no variables key in the manifest, so their generated pages shipped no explorer at all. Their manifests now mirror the root. Two more disagreed only in description text, and the root was the truthful side: both compositions paint an inset ring, not the slabs or colour pair the manifest described.

The caption <video> removal left 24 CSS rules addressing elements that no longer exist. Removed, excluding the four ids that were already orphaned on main.

thread-message-stack could not stay fixed: oxfmt reflows a divs contents and lands a newline inside a JSON string literal, so the payload broke again on the next format. A script tag is not an option because the runtime strips every script out of the mounted clone. The reader normalizes HTML whitespace instead, which is what makes it survive any reflow, and the guard test now asserts that contract rather than the byte layout.

downloadFile had lost its 30s timeout, DownloadOptions, and the mid-pipeline error plumbing in a rewrite that was only meant to fix redirects. Five callers were left with no stall guard. Restored, redirect handling kept.

warnUnknownEnumValues re-did the parse readDeclaredDefaults had already done. Both now share one readDeclarations, and the rest splits into compositionLabel, declaredOptions and unknownEnumValue. 1909 core tests unchanged.

Deletes build-qa-gallery, theme-gate and generate-primitive-pages: nothing invokes them, two read a coverage map four directories above the repo root, and the pages the third generates are no longer on this branch. Wires check-no-main-deletions, which is the opposite case, real and tested and never run.

* fix(registry): stop shipping a stale copy of the catalog-search work

This branch carried re-authored copies of the CLI search commits rather than the ones on their own PR, so merging it would have rolled back six later fixes: the vector cache that refuses a half download, the 0o700/0o600 modes, the rebuilt-from-registry index generator, the coverage gate and its CI job, and the scripts typecheck. Those files now come from that branch.

registry.json still listed 64 items whose directories the UI-primitive removal deleted, so hyperframes add would resolve a name and then fail on missing files. Regenerated from disk: 358 searchable items, 358 vectors, gate green.

Also drops an internal provenance block from thread-message-stack, along with the type and the two JSON schemas that existed only to describe it. It published an artifact id, a version id and a heygenverse:// URI, none of which mean anything to someone installing a block, and a public registry is the wrong place for them.

Typechecking scripts/ for the first time surfaced 45 errors in this branch. Fixed rather than suppressed: the geometry test reads positions through one accessor that names a missing index instead of letting NaN reach a tolerance compare, and the null-returning shape helper is asserted at its call sites, except in the test whose subject is the null.

* refactor(scripts): split the page builder into its numbered sections

generateItemMdx had grown to cyclomatic 26 across 196 lines while its own comments already named the seams. previewSection, usageSection and footerSection now own one each, taking it to 13. Regenerating all 358 pages afterwards produces a byte-identical tree, which is the check that matters for a generator.

* fix(cli): repair what the cross-branch file take broke

Taking files wholesale from the catalog-search branch reverted the downloadFile timeout restored one commit earlier, so five callers were back to no stall guard at HEAD. Restored on both branches this time, since that branch never had it either.

It also took that branch test:scripts line without the vitest it depends on, so the script exited 127 and the CI Test job would have failed on a missing binary rather than a test. vitest is a root devDependency now, and the run is scoped to scripts/catalog/ with the slash: without it the prefix also matched catalog-preview-temp.test.ts, a node:test file with no vitest suite in it. Both branches had that one.

Four registry items and their docs copies carried absolute paths from a working directory. A public registry is the wrong place for them and history is permanent, so the sentences now name the source without the path.

Skill docs came from before the code they describe: the catalog command reports unindexed and applies installability after ranking, and both SKILL.md files now say so.

Also drops a double type assertion and ten dead ?? NaN coalesces from the geometry test, the second of which reintroduced exactly the NaN-into-a-tolerance-compare that the checked accessor exists to prevent.

* fix(ci): resolve core from source and take only item directories

The scripts typecheck failed on generate-registry-items importing @hyperframes/core by package name. It resolves on a machine with a warm node_modules, which is why it passed locally, and not in CI. Every other script in the directory already imports core from source and says why in a comment.

The preview job derived its item list with a sed that needs a trailing slash, so registry/components/CATALOG.md never matched, survived as a full path, and was handed to the renderer as an item name. The grep now requires a directory component. Simulated against this PR: 219 items, none of them a path.

* refactor(registry): load gsap from the cdn like every other item

store-badge-lockup vendored gsap 3.14.2 as a 4,200 line minified file and installed it into the users project, while 540 other items load that exact version from jsDelivr. Repointed, the copy deleted and the manifest entry with it, so hyperframes add store-badge-lockup no longer writes a second copy of gsap into someone elses compositions directory. Re-rendered and re-generated: the preview still draws.

* feat(registry): swap in the detailed device models

Replaces the iPhone and MacBook models in the three device blocks. The old assets were untitled meshes with no keyboard on the laptop; these name every part and model the keycaps, speaker grilles, antenna bands and camera plateau.

Not a drop-in. The compositions found the screen by side effects, the material that happened to carry an emissiveMap for the phone and a mesh literally called matte for the laptop, and neither exists now. They select front-glass and display instead.

Both panels ship UVs authored for a tiling material, the laptop runs u -6.3 to 6.3, so one screen image clamped and smeared across the panel. Planar UVs are derived from each panel bounds at load.

The old phone display sat at the model minimum Z and the timeline spins assume a screen facing -Z. These face +Z, so the model is aligned by reading which of its own parts is front rather than re-timing the animation.

Removes the hand-drawn Apple logo from two blocks: the replacement ships apple-logo meshes, and the drawn one used coordinates read off the old lid, so it floated beside the device.

The preview copy only took top level files, so models/, lib/ and assets/ never reached docs/public and 38 items rendered there without their assets. That is the source of the non-blocking 404s in the preview job. It recurses now, which also brings vendored bundles across, so the generated tree is out of the lint scope.

The html-in-canvas notice is a Danger callout: without the flag the preview is a black rectangle, which is a prerequisite rather than a caveat.

* chore(registry): rebase onto the merged catalog search

This branch carried its own copy of the catalog-search work so that merging it in either order could not regress the other. That copy is now the older one: main has the consent fix, the contributor path for someone without the embedding model, the restored download test and the corrected gate message. Every file main owns is taken from main, and the three duplicated CLI commits are dropped rather than replayed.

Regenerated afterwards, because the registry it describes has changed: registry.json, the vector index, the catalog pages and the skills manifest.

* fix(scripts): stop the rebase reverting the preview pipeline

Resolving the rebase in favour of this branch took three files whose newer versions had already merged, so the branch quietly reverted them.

generate-catalog-previews.ts lost encodeForWeb, which exists because publishing masters directly put 25 Mbps files on the docs CDN and one 20-second preview was 60 MB. It also lost the ffmpeg transcode, so a jpeg capture was being written straight to a .png path while the comment above still said it transcoded, and it lost openOpaqueCapture, re-creating the second copy of a capture setup that was extracted precisely to stop there being two. This PR renders previews for over 200 items, so all three shipped at scale.

scripts/tsconfig.json regained exclusions that hole the gate, and generate-template-previews.ts went back to importing the producer by package name, which is the CI failure that import was changed to fix.

All three are taken from main. Also drops an alignScreenToMinusZ copied into the laptop block, which has no front and back to compare and never called it, and makes the preview copy lstat so a symlinked directory cannot send it outside the repo.

* fix(registry): clear the five items this PR added that the linter rejects

The registry linter is not wired into CI, so five items this PR adds were shipping with real render defects nobody would have seen fail.

caption-camera-follow and grade-split-reveal styled their root by its own class. Sub-composition CSS is scoped to [data-composition-id=...] <selector>, so a selector whose leftmost part is the root class becomes a descendant selector and stops matching the root: the scene renders unstyled at render time while looking correct in every static check and in preview. Both now key off the attribute the scoper already adds.

logo-brand-close tweened letterSpacing, which the browser snaps to integer device pixels, so the ease-out tail stutters under seek-by-frame capture. It is a scaleX now.

terminal-simulator named SFMono-Regular, which the renderer cannot resolve, so the text silently fell back.

oversized-cursor was a false positive: the rule scans raw source for head tags and a literal one written inside a JS comment paired with the real closing tag. Confirmed against a render, nothing leaks into frame, so the comment says head element rather than the tag.

Also stops generate-registry-items.ts dropping catalogArtifact.revision. build-local-vectors.ts stamps it so the CLI and the coverage gate can tell whether the published vectors still describe this registry; regenerating the item list erased it, and the gate then failed until someone rebuilt the index.

41 items still fail the linter, every one of them pre-existing on main.

Miguel Ángel 6de29f5bea feat(media-use): derive provider cost tier from the registry (#3155)
The provider registry already declares whether a provider is local, free over
the network, or paid over the network via its A/N/P constructors, but nothing
downstream could read that, so anything needing to know whether resolving
through a provider can spend the user's credit had to re-derive it by
string-matching provider names.

Expose it as providerTierFor(name) over the same table and carry the derived
value on the resolve event alongside the provider it came from. Sparse: absent
when the record carries no provider or the name is not declared. A name declared
under two media types must carry one tier; the index throws at import rather
than silently picking one.

Covered by unit tests on the lookup and by end-to-end cases that spawn the real
CLI and read the value off the payload a local server receives, one per tier.

Miguel Ángel 68205dbbc1 feat(cli): search the catalog by meaning, on this machine (#3089)
* feat(cli): search the catalog by meaning, in three named tiers

Browsing the registry means matching names and tags, which fails whenever the
author's wording differs from yours. "make the pace feel faster" finds nothing
when the move is described as "velocity-driven blur". This ranks by meaning
instead.

Three tiers, and the command always says which one answered:

  words       shared vocabulary, free, offline, no account
  on-device   bge-small, free, offline, one opt-in download
  hosted      Gemini, free for signed-in HeyGen users

The tier is stated because a quietly worse answer looks exactly like a good
one. --json carries it as a token alongside dropped, shown, total and
top_score, so an agent reads provenance as data rather than matching English
that is written to be reworded.

Two consents, asked once each, and never conflated. Sending a query is a
privacy question, so the prompt says the query is sent. Downloading a model is
a disk and bandwidth question, so that prompt talks about size. Neither fires
without a terminal: an unattended run sends nothing and downloads nothing
unless a flag records that a person agreed.

The catalog is derived from registry-item.json rather than from a separate
document, so the set that is ranked and the set that can be installed are the
same object by construction. Only the on-device vectors are committed; the
hosted vectors are nine megabytes and belong on the server.

top_score is reported and never acted on. A "nothing matched" threshold looked
clean on long briefs and collapsed on the short queries people type: "a logo
appears" scores 0.6181 and keyboard mash scores 0.6417, so any cut that catches
the noise rejects the real query. The measurement is in the evals directory
rather than in this branch.

Not covered here. The published recall figures were measured against a separate
hand-written document, not against registry text, so they should not be quoted
for this catalog until re-measured. The offline tier needs a normal install: a
single-file build cannot load the native ONNX runtime, which the command now
reports instead of silently degrading. And the drop-detection path has never
been observed firing outside its author's tests.

* fix(cli): make this branch pass the repo's own gates

Three things `bun run lint` and `fallow audit --base origin/main` rejected.
CI runs both, so none of this branch would have gone green. Found by running
them, not by reading the diff.

process.exit in catalog.ts, twice: an invalid --type and a cancelled picker.
check:cli-process-ownership reserves that for cli.ts, and the rule is not
cosmetic — process.exit tears the process down where it stands, so anything
cli.ts has queued to run on the way out is dropped. finishCommand throws a
CliResultSignal that cli.ts turns into the exit code, which is what init.ts
already does for a cancelled prompt.

Three exports with no consumers. normalize keeps its body and loses its export;
localEmbedder is the only caller. modelsDirectory goes entirely, having no
caller inside its file or out. The WordPieceConfig re-export goes, and with it
the import it existed to forward: the type is exported from wordpiece.ts, where
its consumers already take it from.

Complexity. prepareOnDeviceTier is lifted out of run(), which took run from 64
cyclomatic and CRAP 948 to 54 and 684. That block is one decision — can the
offline tier run, and if not, why not — and its only product is a list of
warnings, so it reads and tests as a unit, which it could not do inline.

The rest is suppressed rather than refactored, each with its reason on the line
above. Finishing run() means extracting its three output paths, and that is a
refactor of a command this branch already changes for other reasons: a separate
initiative, not something to absorb here. Every suppression says what shape the
function has and why; a bare marker on a function nobody can justify is how a
threshold stops meaning anything.

Verified: `bun run lint` exits 0, fallow reports no issues across 27 changed
files, and 2540 CLI tests pass.

* feat(cli): ship the local search tiers only, drop the hosted one

Search now has two tiers, both local: shared-vocabulary word matching, and the
opt-in on-device model. The hosted tier, which sent the query to a HeyGen
endpoint and ranked it with a hosted model, is removed.

This is a scope decision, not a defect. The endpoint works and its own change is
reviewed and green; it is simply not what we want to ship first. Landing local
only means the feature has no backend dependency, no auth requirement, and
nothing leaves the machine unless someone opts into downloading a model.

Gone: registry/smartSearch.ts and its test, the --smart and --no-smart flags,
the outcome plumbing through the command, the remote branch of applySearch, the
remote tier, and the hosted-only JSON fields (ranking, catalog_version,
top_score). Also the smartSearchEnabled consent field in telemetry config, which
was the persisted storage behind the hosted consent and would otherwise have
been left as dead configuration surface.

Kept exactly as they were: both local tiers, the --on-device and --yes flags,
the download consent prompt, and the runtime check that happens before the
download rather than after it. The --json envelope still reports query, tier,
tier_detail, shown, total, dropped, warnings and results, so an agent can still
tell which tier answered and why. tierToken now distinguishes on-device from
words.

Verified: lint exits 0, fallow reports no issues, 2522 CLI tests pass, and the
command was exercised directly. A query answers on the on-device tier where the
model is installed and falls back to word matching where it is not, reporting
that fallback in warnings rather than silently. An unknown --type still exits 1
with a readable message, and --smart is now rejected as an unknown flag.

* fix(cli): count only moves this registry cannot install as dropped

The dropped count was computed against the list left after the user's own
--type and --tag filters, so every move the user excluded was reported as one
the registry is missing. Filtering made the number go up: the same query
reported 277 unfiltered and 302 with --type block.

The count exists so a caller can tell "nothing matched your words" apart from
"the ranker suggested things this project cannot install". Conflating it with
user filtering destroys exactly that signal, and worse, genuine index skew and a
self-inflicted filter printed a byte-identical line with opposite remedies --
one means refresh the shelf, the other means drop a flag, and refreshing does
nothing.

Now counted against the registry rather than the filtered view. The manifest is
already fetched whole and narrowed in memory, so keeping the unnarrowed name set
costs no extra request, and item loading still runs only on the filtered subset.

Verified against ground truth rather than by eye: the vector artifact holds 411
names, the registry holds 168 installable items, and 134 of those names exist in
both, so 277 are genuinely uninstallable. The count now reads 277 unfiltered,
277 under --type block, 277 under --type component and 277 under --tag, and the
skew it reports is real -- the artifact predates dropping the UI primitives and
still ranks moves that are no longer on the shelf.

Reported by Vance Ingalls, who also noted this closes an item the status doc
listed as unverified. Two earlier sweeps could not make the count fire because
neither combined a filter with a query.

Tests pin the three cases: a genuinely absent name counts, a filter-excluded
name does not, and a fully installable ranking reports zero.

* fix(cli): tell the user when meaning search cannot see the catalog

The on-device index was fetched once and never revalidated: the only
freshness check was two existsSync calls. A move added after that fetch was
invisible to meaning search permanently, not down-ranked but absent from the
candidate set. The registry manifest on the same command carries a 24h TTL,
so the two halves of one feature disagreed about staleness.

The dropped count reported over-coverage only, names the index has that the
registry lacks. Under-coverage was never computed, so the harmless direction
was instrumented and the costly one was silent. Reproduced with an index
truncated to 120 of 168 moves: dropped read 0, perfect health, while 48
moves were unreachable.

Counts under-coverage from the name list the artifact already carries, so no
extra request. Warns only when non-zero, and names the remedy.

The remedy had to be made true: --on-device could not refresh a stale index
because hasLocalVectors short-circuited the fetch. That flag now refetches
when the index is absent or no longer covering.

Two defects the reproduction surfaced. A failed refresh reported the tier
unavailable while the old vectors were still on disk and still ranking. And
the fetch wrote its two files one at a time, so failing between them paired
a new name list with an old matrix, a hard load error rather than stale
data. It now writes both or neither, which matters more once refresh runs on
staleness.

top_score returns, scoped to the on-device tier and set to the score of the
best result actually shown rather than the ranking head, which can describe
a row the caller never received.

Also: scripts/ is now typechecked. It never was, which is how a build script
that crashes after the paid embedding call, and two scripts whose imports do
not resolve at all, went unnoticed. 43 errors fixed, no suppressions.

And the docs stop describing a --smart hosted tier that was deleted, an
item that does not exist, and a registry refresh that cannot fix a stale
vector index.

* ci: fail when the search index stops covering the registry

The catalog vector artifact is regenerated by hand. Nothing in CI, in
package.json or in a hook rebuilds it, because embedding needs the 32 MB
model. So adding a registry item silently makes it invisible to meaning
search until someone remembers to regenerate.

The failure is asymmetric, which is what makes it easy to miss. Removing an
item is self-healing: the ranker still scores the dead vector, then filters
the name before display, so a user is never offered something they cannot
install. Adding one is not: the item is absent from the candidate set
entirely, not ranked low.

Comparing the two name lists needs neither the model nor a network call, so
the gate runs in seconds. CI checks rather than fixes, for the same reason
it cannot regenerate.

Scoped to blocks and components. Examples are starter projects a user
scaffolds, never something catalog ranks, and the artifact carries no vector
for them, so demanding one would keep this gate permanently red and it would
be ignored within a week.

Verified in both directions rather than assumed: adding an unindexed item
exits 1 and names it, restoring the registry exits 0.

* fix(catalog): rebuild the search index from the registry

build-local-vectors.ts read registry/catalog-artifact/catalog.json, a file no script in this repo writes and which is not committed, so the documented regeneration command failed on a missing path. That is why the index could drift from the registry with nothing to run to fix it.

It now reads registry/blocks/* and registry/components/* through catalogFromRegistry, the existing helper that already produced the right shape but had no caller. Rebuilding reproduces the shipped 168 rows byte for byte.

A lefthook catalog-index command regenerates and re-stages both artifact files whenever a staged registry-item.json changes, mirroring the skills-manifest pattern, so adding or removing an item keeps the index in sync without anyone remembering to. Verified end to end: staging a new item took the artifact 168 to 169 rows and staged it in 0.80s.

* fix(cli): refuse a half-downloaded vector cache

The two artifact files have to agree on how many rows there are, and until now nothing checked that before writing them. A truncated or wrong-model response landed in the cache and only failed at load, on every later search, until someone cleared it by hand. The pair is now checked first and refused as a unit, and the cache is created 0o700 with 0o600 files rather than inheriting the umask of a directory the caller may have pointed anywhere.

Also lifts the capture setup the two preview generators had drifted into sharing into scripts/preview-capture.ts, and splits the vector builders batching and packing out of main. Both were findings the audit attributed to this branch.

* fix(cli): keep the catalog vitest run with the tests it runs

Restacking took the base package.json wholesale, which dropped the vitest dependency and the scripts/catalog run this PR adds. Both belong here rather than under it.

* fix(cli): stop the declined model download from happening anyway

Answering no to the on-device download offer recorded no and warned, then carried on. The guard below it is localModelConsent() !== false, which the decline had just made false, so it was skipped rather than taken: control reached recordLocalModelConsent(true), overwrote the answer with yes, and fetched the 32 MB model the user had refused. Next run it never asked again.

No test could catch it. The stub pinned localModelStatus to ready, so the prompt never fired, and recordLocalModelConsent was a no-op that recorded nothing.

Two tests now cover the offer, and they need three things the old stubs did not model: the run has to look like a terminal, because off one the command treats --on-device as the consent and never asks; the ONNX probe has to answer true, or an accepted offer returns at the runtime guard before it can download; and the status has to follow the recorded answer, or the second offer later in the run fires as well. Removing the return makes the decline test fail.

* fix(catalog): let someone without the model still add a component

The pre-commit hook rebuilds the search index, and rebuilding needs the 32 MB embedding model. An outside contributor adding a registry item does not have it, so their commit died inside the ONNX loader on an ENOENT naming a path they never set, and the CI gate then told them to run the command that had just crashed.

The model is an opt-in for search, not a build dependency, so nobody is charged for it to contribute. The builder checks first and explains itself, exiting 3 for cannot as distinct from 1 for failed. The hook treats 3 as skip and lets the commit through. The gate now names both paths: regenerate if you have the model, leave it if you do not and a maintainer will.

Verified both ways: with no model the builder explains and the hook exits 0; with the model it still regenerates byte-identically.

* docs: say that anyone can add a registry item, and stop hand-editing a generated file

Two defects, one of them the reason 64 stale entries survived in registry.json.

The checklist told contributors to add their item to registry/registry.json. That file is generated from the item directories, so an entry added by hand survives until the next regeneration and then vanishes, and one left behind for a directory that no longer exists is worse: hyperframes add resolves the name and then fails on missing files. Both CONTRIBUTING.md and the agent-facing skill reference now run the generator instead.

Nothing said contribution was maintainer-only, but nothing said it was not either, and two steps do need assets an outside contributor has no reason to install. Those are now named in a table with what happens if you do not have them, matching how the preview image was already handled. The search index is the new one: the model behind it is a 32 MB opt-in for search, not a build dependency.

ukimsanov 08fadcef41 style: format the house-narrator note in tts.md, resync manifest
Preflight failed on skills/media-use/audio/references/tts.md — the section I added
was not oxfmt-clean. Formatted, and regenerated skills-manifest.json since the
media-use hash changed.

The other files oxfmt flags (package.json files, several skill .md files,
studio/parsers sources) are not touched by this branch and fail on main too — a
pre-existing whole-repo format debt, not introduced here.

ukimsanov bb7b0c899f docs: write down the house narrator, and stop the videos sounding like two products
Every user-journey film on the docs site is narrated by ElevenLabs River
(SAz9YHcvj6GT2YYXdXww) at 145-155 wpm with music about -31 LUFS under it. That
was recorded in one launch project's notes and nowhere an agent would look.

So when I briefed six new docs videos I asked for "a music bed plus SFX" and said
nothing about voice. Two fell back to local Kokoro (am_michael, bm_george) and one
used an unspecified ElevenLabs take. Three films, three narrators, none of them
the one the rest of the site uses. Being re-voiced now.

The rule is in skills/media-use/audio/references/tts.md, next to the provider
table an agent already reads before generating a voiceover, including the reason:
falling back to a local voice because a key was not to hand produces a film that
sounds wrong beside the others. If ElevenLabs cannot be reached, say so and stop
rather than substituting.

Also on this branch: the superseded Huly film is gone from the product-launch
page, and three pages that ended up with two hero videos stacked now lead with
one. Where the older clip still showed something different — a finished motion
graphic, the same edits done in Studio — it moved below under its own heading
instead of being deleted.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 1664fe6ad7 fix(core,producer,skills): unicode paths, non-Error rejections, shell callers
Three R3 findings.

The redactor's segment classes were ASCII `\w`, so `/数据/客户/秘密视频.mp4` and
`/data/客户/secret.mp4` went out verbatim — and the generic redactor also feeds
CLI telemetry and producer observation messages, where no known-path list
compensates. Segments are now defined by their delimiters instead of an
alphabet, which is correct for every script by construction rather than
requiring Unicode classes to be kept correct. The bare-relative lookbehind had
the same ASCII assumption and let a match start mid-token, redacting
`客户/秘密/视频.mp4` to `客户[path]`; it is now a token boundary, and
bare-relative runs before absolute so it claims the whole token.

sanitizeProbeFailure cast the rejection reason to Error and read `.message`.
An injected probe can reject with anything, so `Promise.reject("failed")` gave
`undefined` and threw inside the redactor — converting a returned failure
result into a rejected promise. Normalized at the boundary, and
redactKnownPaths no longer throws on a non-string.

The contract only admitted .ts/.js/.mjs/.cjs, so it missed shipped shell and
Python callers. frame_strip.sh passed a user-controlled path as ffprobe's last
positional with no terminator; render-and-composite.sh had four more. Both
fixed, and the sweep now covers .py/.sh. Python list argvs are bracket
literals so they get the same position check; shell command lines get a
separate presence check, because checking position there needs a shell parser
— stated as the weaker guarantee it is rather than implied to be equal.

Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 255cf92915 fix(skills,producer): terminate ffprobe options in shipped skill scripts
The contract test only walked packages/*/src and only .ts, so it could not see
the shipped agent tools under skills/**, which are .mjs/.cjs. 19 call sites
there and in package tests were still missing `--` immediately before the
input while the suite reported the bug class closed — a dash-prefixed filename
is parsed as an option and fails the same way.

Sweeps packages/, skills/ and scripts/ now, including .mjs/.cjs and test
files (dither.test.mjs was one of the broken sites). Excludes only the
contract test itself, which documents the contract with example argvs
including a deliberately misordered one.

Two guards were fixed while widening: the terminator must never be inserted
after `-i`, which consumes the next token (a blind pass hit an ffmpeg input
and a base64 -i), and comment prose describing a spawn is not a spawn.

Also routes every audioPadTrim probe failure through one sanitizer at the
boundary. runFfprobeJson scrubbed its own stderr, but
defaultProbeVideoFrameInfo threw `no video stream in ${videoPath}` raw into
the public PadTrimAudioResult.error, and an injected probe can throw anything.
The redaction unit tests all passed with the caller wiring deleted; the new
public-path regressions fail without it.

WaterrrForever 2efbfd4758 docs(prompting): document the intent interview and align pages with skill contracts (#2872)
* docs(prompting): correct workflow one-liners against skill contracts

general-video leads with its positive identity and companion mode;
faceless-explainer keys on invented visuals instead of TTS;
talking-head-recut uses the 'graphic overlays' trigger term;
motion-graphics gains its input side and overlay output;
music-to-video stops implying images are required.

* docs(prompting): make vocabulary video grids readable

Replace the 4-5 column table hack with a 3-column CSS grid,
switch demo clips to autoplay muted loops (no black poster frame,
no player chrome over tiny videos), and align cells at 16:9.

* docs(prompting): document the opening interview and run-shape questions

The guide taught prompt shapes but never prepared readers for the
conversation that follows: the intent interview, the two run-shape
questions (storyboard, automation vs companion), the just-build-it
skip, and BRIEF.md as the resumable artifact. Add that section to the
overview, a disambiguation note on the storyboards page, and free up
'companion' as a reserved term in media-and-audio.

* docs(guides): make BRIEF.md the pipeline's Step 3 artifact

Step 3 (Strategy & Messaging) listed no output while describing
exactly what BRIEF.md now captures. Name the artifact in the step
table, project tree, step body, gate, and iterating list, and fix
SCRIPT.md's step label in the tree (Step 4, not 3).

* docs(quickstart): realign the setup surface with the skills catalog

The quickstart drifted from docs/guides/skills.mdx, CLAUDE.md, and the
prompting overview — it had never been updated when those surfaces were:

- `--full-depth` on both install commands, with the reason inline. Without
  it `skills add` fetches the skills.sh registry blob, which lags `main` by
  hours, so a reader following the quickstart installs stale skills.
- `check` in the `/hyperframes-cli` row, and a validate step in the manual
  dev loop, which went preview → render with no gate at all. The prompting
  overview calls `check` "the step people skip and regret" and states both
  `lint` and `check` must pass before rendering.
- `/hyperframes-keyframes` in the core-skills table (8 rows → 9).
- `/figma` in the optional-workflow list (10 → 11).


* docs(skills): close the catalog drift class and complete the music-to-video input

Follow-up on the two review nits from #2872.

`/music-to-video`'s SKILL.md names three inputs — an audio file, a video to
pull audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief. Every compressed copy
of that description carried only the first two, and the third is the one that
makes "a complete video needs zero assets" true. Fixed on all eight surfaces
that state it, so no surface is now more correct than its siblings: the
prompting overview and quickstart setup tables, docs/guides/skills.mdx, the
README catalog, root CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md, both CLI project templates, and the
router's own routes/music-to-video.md Input line (whose Interview must-haves
already listed all three).

The drift was structural, not accidental: the sync set declared in
docs/guides/skills.mdx and in CLAUDE.md's "Skill catalog maintenance" named
four surfaces and never the two setup tables, so those two were free to rot
while the declared four stayed correct. Both declarations now name them, and
both say the set applies to a *changed contract* — a reworded description —
not only to an added or renamed skill.

skills-manifest.json regenerated for the touched route file.

* docs(claude): point the routing-surface rule at routes/, not the moved stubs

Item 3 of "Skill catalog maintenance" still sent readers to
`references/workflow-catalog.md` for a workflow's input/output/trigger
contract and `references/route-briefs.md` for its interview entry. Both are
now "moved" stubs — the contract and the interview entry live together in
`references/routes/<workflow>.md`, one read per candidate route.

Same failure class the previous commit fixed at item 1: a maintenance rule
outliving the layout it describes. Swept the tree for other pointers at the
two stubs; there are none, so this closes it rather than fixing one instance.

* fix(capture,audio): three defects found running product-launch-video end to end

Found while running the full product-launch-video workflow twice against a real
site (linear.app) to verify PRs #2880/#2881/#2882. All three are independent of
those PRs.

**Scraped SVGs were unusable as files.** `assetDownloader` wrote an inline
`<svg>`'s `outerHTML` straight to `assets/svgs/*.svg`. An inline SVG inherits its
namespace from the HTML parser, so `outerHTML` omits `xmlns` — valid pasted back
into HTML, but not a standalone document, and `<img src="logo-abc.svg">` renders a
broken-image icon. That is exactly how these assets get consumed. `toStandaloneSvg`
now declares the namespace on the way to disk (plus `xmlns:xlink`, but only when an
`xlink:` attribute is actually used). The filename hash moved to the bytes that
land on disk so it still cannot drift from content.

**`sfx: none` became a cue named "none".** `fetch-sfx` split the storyboard's
`sfx:` list and dropped only empty strings, so the absence marker reached the
engine as a real cue that could not resolve. The absence spellings are part of the
storyboard vocabulary; drop them.

**`bgm_pending` was lost translating neutral meta to product-launch meta.** A
detached Lyria/MusicGen generate leaves `bgm: null, bgm_pending: true` until the
track lands. `toProductLaunchMeta` returned only `{bgm, voices, sfx}`, so "not
ready yet" became indistinguishable from "silent by design" — and because
`fetch-sfx` rewrites `audio_meta.json` from the sidecar, a still-generating bed was
snapshotted away with nothing to signal it. The flag now survives, and `fetch-sfx`
warns when it snapshots a pending bed instead of leaving a silent film that the
storyboard claims has music.

Not included, deliberately: `assemble-index.mjs` rewrites `index.html` wholesale
and so discards the block `transitions.mjs inject` wrote, meaning any Step 6 rework
silently loses transitions. Fixing that means deciding whether assemble preserves an
injected block or inject becomes re-appliable — it touches both scripts and the
Step 5/6 ordering in SKILL.md, so it deserves its own change.

* feat(capture): re-add the full-page plate a scroll shot needs, at 1x

`product-launch-video` tells a scroll shot to animate a viewport over a full-page
capture. No such file existed: capture emits 15 viewport-sized scroll-position
tiles, and a plate is not substitutable by tiles — a viewport travelling down one
continuous image is the whole point.

An earlier `full-page.png` was dropped in 62b55171e because 1/8 agents read it and
the contact sheet covered the same ground. That measured it as a *comprehension*
artifact, on an eval where nothing was building scroll shots. The scroll shot is a
different consumer, so this brings the plate back — but not as it was, because two
things have to hold for it to be worth having:

- **Taken last.** After the scroll traversal, so lazy images have loaded and
  scroll-triggered reveals have fired. A plate shot on arrival is full of blank
  bands, which is a good reason for an agent to look once and never again.
- **Sticky chrome neutralised.** `fullPage` bakes a fixed header in at one
  position, freezing a nav across the middle of the plate. The viewport tiles keep
  sticky on purpose (natural browsing state); the plate cannot. Positions are
  recorded and restored in a `finally`, so the extraction passes that run afterwards
  see an unmodified DOM.

**1x, deliberately.** 2x is what you'd want to push in without softening text, but
doubling a long marketing page passes Chrome's 16384px screenshot cap precisely on
the pages that most want a scroll shot (linear.app: 10962 CSS px → 21924 at 2x). At
1x a 1920-wide plate is pixel-exact for a 1920x1080 viewport. A frame that needs
headroom captures its own region at 2x instead. Pages over the cap get no plate
rather than a silently clipped one, and the caller falls back to the tiles.

Validation: `vitest run src/capture` — 90 pass (5 new) · oxlint/oxfmt clean ·
`tsc --noEmit` clean

* docs(product-launch-video): point the scroll shot at the plate, make handoff fields binding

Two follow-ups from the same end-to-end runs, now that #2880 and #2881 have landed and
their sentences exist to edit.

**The scroll shot pointed at an artifact that did not exist.** #2881 said "use a 2x
full-page capture and animate the viewport over it". Neither half held: capture emitted
no full-page image, and 2x on a long marketing page passes Chrome's 16384px screenshot
cap precisely on the pages that most want a scroll shot. Both runs watched the agent go
looking, not find it, and improvise — once by re-capturing 2x strips per section, once by
using the native 1920x1080 tiles full-bleed. This PR's capture commit adds the 1x plate,
so the sentence can now name something real: the plate, its absence on pages too tall to
capture in one piece, the tile fallback, and why pushing in past 1:1 still wants a region
capture of its own.

**A constant field was being read as an absent one.** #2880 asks for x/y, scale, opacity
and direction/speed on every handoff. Across two runs on the same model, `opacity` went
0/12 then 12/12 — when the value never changes, leaving it out is a reasonable reading of
the instruction. But downstream an omission and "there is no handoff here" are the same
thing, so the field set has to be stated as binding even when constant. Same clause added
to the worker's side of the contract.

Validation: `bun run lint:skills`

* fix(capture,audio): close the three contract gaps raised in review

Review on #2892 (Rames, Magi) found the fixes correct inside the changed files but
incomplete at the contract level. All three hold up against source; two of the three
were reachable in production, and the plate one was self-inflicted by this PR.

**The plate guard checked a stale height.** `scrollHeight` was measured before the scroll
traversal and handed to the guard, but the plate is deliberately shot *after* it so lazy
content has loaded — and lazy loading grows the document. The guard's input therefore read
low on exactly the long pages it exists for, letting the check pass and a clipped plate
through, undetectable downstream because the skill only teaches the tile fallback when the
file is *absent*. `captureFullPagePlate` now measures the height itself at call time, and
verifies what Chrome actually produced by reading the PNG's IHDR before writing, since the
capture can trigger another round of loading. Over the cap, nothing is emitted.

**Assembly dropped the flag again.** `bgm_pending` survived into `audio_meta.json` but
`assemble-index.mjs` rebuilt its audio object from three named keys, so at the step that
actually builds the film "not ready yet" still looked like "silent by design" — this PR's
own framing of the defect, one layer further down. The flag rides along now, and a pending
bed with no file raises an anomaly instead of quietly assembling a silent cut against a
storyboard that promises music.

**The sibling adapters had both audio bugs, and there were two of them.** The review named
`faceless-explainer`; `pr-to-video` carries the same file. Its own test asserts the two are
byte-identical ("intentionally identical across the reusing skills"), so fixing one alone
broke that test — which is what caught the second copy. Both now carry the absence-sentinel
filter and the surviving `bgm_pending`, and `faceless-explainer` gets the same five
regression tests.

Also from review (Miga): the sticky-restore in `finally` is wrapped, so a page that broke
mid-capture cannot replace the real error with a cleanup one.

* fix(capture,audio): meet the two review asks I under-delivered on

Follow-up to 194fb6995. Re-read Magi's review body rather than working from the summary,
and two of the three blockers were addressed in spirit but not to the letter.

**The plate probed before neutralisation, not after.** 194fb6995 moved the measurement off
the caller's stale value and into the function, but took it before forcing fixed/sticky
elements to `static`. The review called this out specifically and is right: dropping those
elements back into flow grows the document, so the probe could still read under the cap on a
page that is over it once neutralised. The probe now runs after neutralisation and before the
shot, inside the same `try` so restoration still happens on the early return. Added the exact
case asked for — initial height under the cap, final height over it — asserting no
screenshot is taken, no file is written, and the page is still handed back unmodified.

**Assembly warned where the review asked it to refuse.** An anomaly in a list is not
enforcement: assemble is re-run on Step 6 rework, long after the audio step's warning
scrolled past, and a warning still lets a silent film out the door over a snapshot whose own
JSON says the bed is generating. `assemble-index.mjs` now dies on `bgm_pending && !bgm`, with
`--allow-pending-bgm` as the deliberate escape for previewing mid-generate. Pinned with three
tests in a new `assemble-index.test.mjs`: refusal writes no index.html, the escape assembles
and says so, and a film that is silent *by design* still assembles untouched — the
distinction the flag exists to make.

Validation: `vitest run src/capture` — 96 pass (6 new) · product-launch audio 13 pass ·
assemble-index 3 pass (new file) · faceless-explainer audio 10 pass ·
`bun run lint:skills` · oxlint/oxfmt clean · `tsc --noEmit` clean

* fix(audio): carry the bgm_pending gate into the sibling assemblers

The remaining blocker, and one this PR created: the previous commit made all three copies of
the audio adapter *emit* bgm_pending, but only product-launch-video's assembler *reads* it.
So faceless-explainer and pr-to-video would do exactly what this PR set out to stop — parse
an audio_meta.json that says the bed is still generating and assemble the silent film without
a word. Producer fixed in three places, consumer in one, is worse than neither: before this
PR there was no flag to drop.

Both siblings now get the same three changes product-launch-video got — the flag carried
through the audio object, `die` on `bgm_pending && !bgm`, and `--allow-pending-bgm` as the
deliberate escape — plus the same three tests: refusal writes no index.html, the escape
assembles and says so, and a film that is silent *by design* still assembles untouched. That
last one is the one worth having; it proves the flag restored a distinction rather than just
adding a gate.

Applied as three separate patches rather than a file copy: these assemblers have diverged
(pr-to-video validates a bare `<template>` fragment where product-launch takes a `<div>`
root, which its fixture reflects).

`music-to-video` has the fourth copy of this assembler and is deliberately untouched: it has
no audio producer, and its assembler reads `{ voices: [] }` with no bgm path at all, so the
flag can never reach it.
