Miguel Ángel d7688f9943 fix(docs): load the player from latest, not a pinned minor (#3320)
* fix(docs): load the player from latest, not a pinned minor

The catalog pages pinned the player CDN URL to a minor line, and that pin
sat one line behind after the last release. Every page kept rendering, on
the older build, so nothing surfaced it: the only symptom was that a fix
published to npm never appeared on the docs.

The generator derived its pin from the player's package.json, which is
correct only if every page is regenerated on the release that moves it.
That is the step that did not happen, and it has to happen across 175
generated pages plus three hand-written files for the pin to be true.

A version carried in step across 178 places will be stale, and stale here
is silent. Ask for latest instead and there is nothing to carry.

This costs the ability to hold the docs back from a bad player release.
Paid deliberately: the pin did not buy that either, it only delayed the
good releases too.

A test asserts no pinned version comes back, and fails if it stops finding
the references at all, so it cannot pass by matching nothing.

* refactor(scripts): list tracked files instead of walking the tree

The pin guard hand-rolled a recursive directory walk with its own skip
list and size cap, which the audit flagged: helpers living in a test file
earn no coverage, so their complexity lands straight on the CRAP score.

git already knows which files to read, and ignores node_modules and build
output for us, so one call replaces the walker and both findings go away.

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.

ukimsanov fed2baf278 docs: correct composition offset rationale; pin nav fix; label-in-name
- html-schema: the previous clause claimed a composition host's data-media-start is
  never read. It is: readElementPlaybackStart (media.ts:16) resolves
  data-playback-start ?? data-media-start and timeline.ts calls it on composition
  clips. Rewrote to the accurate reason both reviewers gave — composition hosts are
  only inspected by the playback-start-first readers, media-start works as a
  fallback, but playback-start is what Studio writes/normalises to.
- motion test: pin the HoverVideo click-suppression (preventDefault +
  stopPropagation). Removing it left the gate 12/12; now it fails. This is the bug
  that escaped static review and only surfaced by driving the live preview.
- replica-compare: fold the visible 'Sound off/on' text into the aria-label so the
  accessible name contains it (WCAG 2.5.3, Rames).

Round-5 findings from Magi and Rames.

ukimsanov 83db94e75e docs(examples): stop the sound control from following the card's link
Grid cards with a public source are wrapped in an <a>; the sound/play button
lives inside it, so a click — mouse or keyboard — bubbled up and navigated to
GitHub instead of toggling sound. preventDefault + stopPropagation on the control.
Found by driving the live preview (self-review).

ukimsanov f3d1d531d1 docs(examples): reset control state on offscreen release; precise a11y labels
- replica-compare: the offscreen teardown now resets muted (element + React state),
  matching HoverVideo — a pair unmuted before it scrolled away no longer returns
  reading 'Sound on' over a paused, sourceless pair (Magi blocker).
- Both controls' aria-labels now follow the mode: under reduced motion the button
  plays/pauses the whole comparison, and when a preview is already autoplaying
  muted the action is 'unmute', not 'play with sound' (self-review + Rames).
- Hardened the motion-suite assertion to scope 'startBoth' to toggleSound's body
  (a defined-but-unused helper no longer satisfies it) and pin the offscreen
  muted-reset transition (Rames mutation-test gap).
- html-schema: 'hyperframes validate' inspects <audio> only; note that no
  media-start-only reader inspects a composition host, so the kind rule strands
  nobody (Rames).

ukimsanov 630c8900f5 docs(examples): reduced-motion play starts both films; precise media-start layers
- replica-compare: the voluntary control now starts and pauses BOTH films (not
  just the reference), and the replica-sync effect attaches in view regardless of
  the preference, so a reduced-motion visitor who presses play sees the whole
  synchronized pair. Added a focused source-level assertion to the motion-check
  suite (the repo has no React runtime harness for snippets).
- html-schema: describe each layer precisely instead of grouping the CLI —
  timing compiler, HTML parser, producer audio, and 'hyperframes validate' read
  only data-media-start; runtime, Studio and 'hyperframes snapshot' read
  data-playback-start first (Studio also writes it).

ukimsanov c9fd7465c9 docs(examples): allow voluntary playback under reduced motion; a11y parity
Both snippet players now keep a source assigned whenever in view (preload='none'
so nothing downloads until asked), gating only autoplay on reduced motion — so a
reduced-motion visitor can press play/unmute instead of being left with an inert
poster. HoverVideo renders a control on hasAudio={false} cards too (a play/pause
toggle), and ReplicaCompare no longer calls play() on a source it just removed.
Gave ReplicaCompare's button the same aria-pressed + focus-visible as HoverVideo.

ukimsanov aa077e000d docs(examples): intersection-gate the recreate pair too

ukimsanov 0467bc8129 docs(examples): make hover-audio accessible, lazy-loaded, and guard-complete
HoverVideo now: (1) exposes a focusable button that toggles/plays sound by
keyboard, touch and pointer — hover is an enhancement, not the only path;
(2) gates the source behind an IntersectionObserver so offscreen cards no longer
download/decode, releasing the buffer on exit; (3) still blocks autoplay under
reduced motion while allowing voluntary playback via the button. Routed all 30
Thirty-Days cards through it (hasAudio={false} for the 12 silent ones) so no raw
<video autoPlay> bypasses the motion guard. Flagged by Magi (P1 #4/#5/#6).

ukimsanov f742084fa8 docs: put the ten workflows in one place, and connect the two tracks
There are ten creation workflows. The Workflows nav group held eight of them plus
`guides/export-and-share`, which is not a workflow at all — there is no such
skill, it is a finishing task. The tenth, the Remotion port, sat under
Developers > Composition, design & animation, a different tab entirely.

So: export-and-share moved to Build the project where the other task pages live,
the Remotion page moved into Workflows, and the chooser gained a tenth route. The
chooser rendered `<video>` unconditionally, which would have drawn a black
rectangle for a route with no clip — it now renders a neutral tile instead, and
custom.css styles it to the same box.

**The Prompt Guide and the workflow guides did not know about each other.** Level 1
is organised one page per workflow, and five of its six pages linked to no guide
at all. A reader learning to prompt for motion graphics never discovered
/guides/motion-graphics, and the traffic went nowhere in both directions. Each
Level 1 page now names its workflow and says what that page adds.

Four links pointed at redirects rather than the real page — /guides/claude-design,
/guides/common-mistakes, /guides/website-to-video, /guides/media-overlays. Seven
files now link to the destination directly.

Checked after: 0 broken links, 0 links via redirect.

ukimsanov 60f09dfcfd docs: give every click-to-play video an audio track
Ten videos on the docs site played in silence. The player is click-to-play, so a
reader deliberately starts them and gets nothing — which reads as broken rather
than as a stylistic choice.

The music is from HeyGen's own catalogue, pulled through the media-use skill's
resolve path with the account already authenticated on this machine. That matters
more than convenience: the launch projects on disk carry a `launch-music-trimmed.mp3`
with no licence, no attribution and no metadata, and three Pixabay tracks. Neither
belongs on the official docs CDN, where objects cache immutably for a year.

Mixed at roughly -22 to -24 dB mean so it sits under the picture. Getting there
took two corrections worth recording: proportional fades, because a 1.2s fade-out
on a 5s clip eats half the audio; and seeking 11s into the bed, because its first
ten seconds are a quiet intro that dragged every short clip down to -27 dB.

The three Examples tiles are left silent on purpose — they are muted autoplay
loops, so an audio track would only be weight.

Verified: every video referenced anywhere under docs/ that is not a muted
autoplay tile now has an AAC stream, checked against the live CDN URL rather than
the local file.

Ular Kimsanov edfe66a953 docs: add the shared page components and the Reference Project (#2977)
* docs: add the shared page components

Adds the six React snippets the rebuilt documentation pages compose against,
plus the styles they need. Nothing imports them yet, so this lands with no
user-visible change and no navigation churn.

- DocsVideo / ShowcaseWall — the film player and the Showcase grid
- LiveReferenceProject — embeds the Reference Project via <hyperframes-player>
- WorkflowChooser, AgentAction, and the two grid snippets

The scrub indicator is a timecode bubble rather than a thumbnail. Mounting a
second <video> with the same src to drive a preview frame made every page
carrying a film download the whole file twice, which is not worth a thumbnail.

* docs: add the Reference Project example

One real 10-second project the documentation can point at instead of describing
a hypothetical one: a live capture of example.com, synthesised narration, and
caption timings measured from that narration. It passes its own gates —
`hyperframes lint` clean, `hyperframes check` passed, 28/28 text checks WCAG AA.

No page imports it yet, so this lands without touching navigation.

Only the two WAV masters exceed the repository's 500 KB non-LFS limit, so only
those go through LFS. The MP3 stings and the capture PNG stay plain, which keeps
the example usable after a clone without `git lfs pull`.

`bun run docs:bundle-reference` regenerates the single-file embed the
Introduction page loads from the CDN.

* docs: keep the Reference Project verification report

The Examples page links this file twice — as "What changed after review" and
as "The real verification report" — in the section that makes the project's
brief, source, revision notes, and checks public end to end. It is a published
artifact, not leftover scaffolding.

* docs: state the Reference Project embed's isolation contract

The composition is fetched from the CDN and handed to the player as a blob:
URL, which inherits the docs origin, and <hyperframes-player> sandboxes its
iframe with allow-scripts + allow-same-origin. So the embedded composition runs
with script access to this origin.

That is a consequence of how the player works — it drives seeking through the
iframe's document, which a cross-origin frame does not expose — not something
this component can fix. Serving the CDN URL directly would isolate the frame
and break playback.

The guard is therefore the source, so the comment says so out loud: src must
stay a first-party path we publish, never user- or community-supplied HTML.

* fix(docs): resolve reduced-motion on the first render, and the embed's dep gap

Both defects from Rames Jusso's review on #2977. Neither is visible today
because nothing imports these files yet, which is what makes them cheap now.

**Reduced motion resolved one paint too late, in all three grids.**
`useState(false)` plus a `matchMedia` read in an effect meant the first
committed render always emitted `<video src autoPlay loop>`; a reduce-motion
visitor had 6 + 8 + 4 tiles already fetching before the attributes came off.
`autoPlay` also overrides `preload="metadata"`, so those were the files, not
metadata probes — and dropping `src` with no following `load()` is not a
reliable abort. A lazy initializer knows the answer on the first render.

**LiveReferenceProject never sent the initial variables.** The sending effect
read `playerRef.current`, assigned by the effect above it on the commit where
`compositionSrc` lands — a commit with nothing in the sending effect's dep
array. So it ran once against a null ref and never again. It looked correct
only because the three defaults match what the composition already renders.

Also from the same review:

- The object URL could outlive its revoke: once the body resolves, `abort()`
  no longer stops the chain, so the blob could be minted after cleanup ran with
  `objectUrl` still undefined. Same `cancelled` guard the effect above uses.
- `postMessage` targeted `"*"` while the isolation comment argues the frame is
  same-origin. Naming `window.location.origin` turns that prose guard into an
  enforced one.
- Nothing reached a terminal state when the player script never arrived:
  `whenDefined()` does not reject, and a later mount reuses the tag without its
  error listener. A CSP rule or content blocker never fires `error` at all.
  A deadline covers every path instead of sitting on "Loading…" forever.
- `loadFailed` was never cleared, so one transient failure stuck.
- The README claimed a clone works without `git lfs pull`. It does for the
  visuals; both WAVs are pointers and they are the bed and the voiceover, so
  the captions would play over silence. Says so now.
- The bundler stripped trailing whitespace document-wide while inlining the
  runtime, which reaches inside script template literals where those spaces are
  data. It also assumed a literal `<head>` and would silently ship an embed with
  no `<base>`. Strip removed, anchor asserted.

Copilot's five "missing hook imports" comments are wrong — Mintlify pre-injects
the hooks, and `TemplateCard.jsx`, cited as the counter-example, uses the
`export function` form the same page says is unsupported.

* fix(docs): stop preview loops when Reduce Motion is turned on mid-session

Miguel's changes-requested on #2977. He is right about the mechanism: dropping
`src` and `autoPlay` through React props neither pauses a playing element nor
aborts its selected resource, so a visitor who turned Reduce Motion on with the
page already open kept every tile running.

Measured in a browser rather than argued from the spec, same clip, same
sequence:

  playing                 paused=false  t=2.90  readyState=4  networkState=1
  React props only        paused=false  t=3.90  readyState=4  networkState=1
  + pause/removeAttr/load paused=true   t=0     readyState=0  networkState=0

The middle row is the bug: time still advancing, resource still held.

Rames' follow-up asked for a remount-to-poster instead, because a video that
ends with `src` removed holds its last frame and `poster` only paints before
playback begins. `load()` covers that too — it drops readyState to
HAVE_NOTHING, which is precisely the state that paints the poster. Confirmed
side by side on screen: the React-props-only tile sits on an arbitrary mid-clip
frame, the pause/load tile shows the poster again. So no remount is needed.

The guard cannot be shared as code — Mintlify compiles each snippet in
isolation and forbids one importing another — so it is copy-pasted into all
three grids. A duplicated invariant is the kind that rots, and a rendering test
would mean adding React to a repo that only carries it inside packages/studio,
plus mocking Mintlify's hook-injection contract with a mock that can stay green
while the page breaks. `scripts/check-docs-snippet-motion.mjs` asserts the
source instead, wired into `bun run lint`, with unit tests covering both edges.

That gate immediately found `docs/snippets/TemplateCard.jsx`: autoplays with no
reduced-motion handling at all. It is imported by zero pages, and it uses the
`export function` form Mintlify's constraints page says is unsupported, so it
would not work if it were. Deleted rather than fixed.

* refactor(scripts): split the motion guard into named predicates

fallow flagged findMotionGuardViolations at CRAP 42 — a finding this branch
introduced, so it gets fixed rather than suppressed, same as the catalog
generator earlier in the stack.

The two conditions are now their own predicates behind a small requirements
table, which drops the branch count under the threshold and makes each rule
readable on its own line. Same output, same tests.

* fix(docs): move the stop effect above ShowcaseWall's early return

Rames' changes-requested on `e1a03c63`. The effect I added in the previous
commit landed below `if (open) return`, so `ShowcaseWall` called five hooks on
the grid render and four once a tile was open. That is a conditional hook:
clicking a tile — the component's primary interaction — threw "Rendered fewer
hooks than expected".

Worth naming why it landed in one of three. `workflow-chooser` and
`advanced-path-grid` have no early return, so the same paste position was fine
there. `ShowcaseWall` is the only one with a conditional return and it got the
same copy. That is the duplication cost this script's own header warns about,
showing up in the commit that added the script.

**The bespoke gate could not have caught it, and now the generic one does.**
`.oxlintrc.json` already loaded the `react` plugin and never excluded `docs/`
— only `.prettierignore` does, which is why formatting is not a finding here
but linting reaches these files. Naming the two hook rules in an override
scoped to `docs/snippets/**` reports this bug directly, and also reports the
`compositionSrc` dependency gap from round one that was found by reading.
Verified both ways: reintroducing the conditional hook produces
`react-hooks(rules-of-hooks)`, and `bunx oxlint .` is clean repo-wide, so
nothing lit up in `packages/studio`.

**Two holes in the script itself, both from the same review.**

It matched whole files while the invariant is per component, so a second
unguarded grid in `docs-video.jsx` would have ridden in on `ShowcaseWall`'s
guard. It now splits by component. That immediately surfaced the distinction
between a component that decides to autoplay and one that forwards its caller's
`autoPlay` prop — `DocsVideo` only ever plays because a reader clicked, so it
does not owe a preference check.

And `readsPreferenceLazily` never tied its halves: any lazy initializer plus
the media-query string anywhere in the file passed, which is the original bug
satisfying the check written to prevent it. The query now has to sit inside the
initializer's own expression.

Both holes have tests. fallow is clean at 0 introduced.

* fix(scripts): close the two silent gaps in the motion gate

Both from Rames' approval pass on #2977, and both found by running these
functions rather than reading them. Both fail the same quiet way: a component
`autoplays` misses is filtered out before any requirement runs, so the gate
reports zero problems instead of a violation.

`autoplays` had become narrower than the version it replaced. Excluding the
`autoPlay={autoPlay}` passthrough was right, but the replacement only matched
`autoPlay={` or `autoPlay` alone on a line, so `<video autoPlay muted />` on one
line slipped through. Restored the old breadth. Two things are stripped first
rather than one — the passthrough, and the prop's own default in the signature,
which is a declaration and not a use. Without the second strip, `DocsVideo` is
asked to own a decision it only forwards.

`splitComponents` anchored on `^export`, so anything not exported folded into
the previous exported component and inherited its guard. Same hole as the
whole-file match, narrowed from file scope to non-export scope. The anchor no
longer requires `export`.

Ten tests now, including his exact examples for both.

* docs: remove the live-composition embed and its build apparatus

The Introduction no longer carries the embed (removed in #2979), and nothing
else used any of this: the 200-line snippet, 26 CSS rules, the bundler that
built the single-file HTML for the CDN, its npm script, and the README section
explaining how to regenerate it.

The Reference Project itself stays — Examples, Developers, and Go further all
link to it as the worked example; only the interactive embed of it is gone.

This also retires the isolation contract I documented two rounds ago. That
comment existed because the embed handed CDN HTML to a same-origin blob; with
the embed gone there is no such surface to reason about, which is a better
outcome than a comment explaining why it was acceptable.

* docs: remove the AgentAction snippet

Its only consumer is gone. The Quickstart now shows the agent instruction in a
plain fence instead, because this component rendered a Copy button and never
displayed the request — a reader copied text they could not read, which is the
wrong shape for the one affordance a non-technical visitor depends on.

Mintlify fences already carry a copy button and show their contents.

James RussoandClaude Opus 4.7 4ae5c0340f chore(docs): migrate docs/images/ media to static.heygen.ai CDN (#301)
Move all preview mp4/png/gif assets under docs/images/ out of the repo
and serve them from https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/
(backed by s3://heygen-public/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/, CloudFront).

Drops ~49MB from the working tree and, more importantly, ~49MB from every
future Mintlify build checkout. Combined with the (already-LFS-tracked)
producer snapshots, the remaining bloat in 'npx skills add heygen-com/
hyperframes' (see #300) is LFS smudge during clone — separate fix needed
in the skills CLI to pass GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1.

Changes:
- Delete docs/images/** (103 files, ~49MB). Files are uploaded to S3 already.
- Rewrite /images/* references in 44 MDX files, TemplateCard.jsx, and
  catalog-index.json to absolute CDN URLs.
- Update README.md img src to CDN URL (renders correctly on GitHub).
- Add docs/images/ to .gitignore so regenerated previews aren't committed.
- Add scripts/upload-docs-images.sh to sync docs/images/ → S3 after running
  the preview generators.
- Wire up bun run upload:docs-images and bun run generate:catalog-previews
  scripts in package.json.
- Update generator script docstrings to point at the upload step.

External contributors can still regenerate previews locally (mintlify dev
reads the CDN URLs, so broken previews appear only for newly added items
pending a maintainer upload). Maintainers run:
  bun run generate:catalog-previews --only <name>
  bun run upload:docs-images

James Russo 08fb1de61f feat(cli): add command + hyperframes.json (#256)
## What

PR 5/17 of the catalog system rollout. Adds the `hyperframes add` verb for installing blocks and components from the registry into an existing project, plus the `hyperframes.json` project config that tells `add` which registry to use and where to drop files. Stacks on #255.

- **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts`** — new `hyperframes add <name>` command. Resolves an item, validates target paths, installs files in parallel, builds an include snippet, copies it to the clipboard. Exposes a testable `runAdd(opts)` function; the citty default wraps it with console output + exit handling
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.ts`** — read/write/normalize `hyperframes.json`. Tolerant to missing and partial configs
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/clipboard.ts`** — minimal cross-platform clipboard (pbcopy / clip.exe / wl-copy / xclip / xsel). Zero deps. Gracefully no-ops in headless environments
- **`packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts`** — write `hyperframes.json` during scaffold if not already present
- **`packages/cli/src/cli.ts`** + **`help.ts`** — register `add` under Getting Started (directly below `init`)

Design doc: [Hyperframes Catalog System](https://www.notion.so/heygen/Hyperframes-Catalog-System-Design-Plan-341449792c69813f899dcd53b4c0383a).

## UX

```bash
# Scaffold a project (now writes hyperframes.json too)
npx hyperframes init my-video --example blank
cd my-video

# Add a block — files land, snippet copied to clipboard
npx hyperframes add claude-code-window
#  ✓ Added claude-code-window (hyperframes:block)
#    compositions/claude-code-window.html
#
#  Include snippet:
#    <iframe src="compositions/claude-code-window.html" data-start="0" data-duration="6"></iframe>
#
#  Copied to clipboard — paste into your host composition.

# Add a component effect
npx hyperframes add shader-wipe

# Headless / CI — no clipboard, JSON output for tooling
npx hyperframes add shader-wipe --no-clipboard --json
```

Running `hyperframes add warm-grain` (an example) errors clearly pointing to `init --example`.

## Docs (bundled in this PR per the tracker principle)

- `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — new `add` subsection under Commands (flags, examples, trigger rules) + new `hyperframes.json` section describing the config file shape

## Tests

- **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.test.ts`** — 11 tests:
  - `remapTarget` / `buildSnippet` pure helpers (5 tests)
  - `runAdd` integration against a mocked `fetch` registry: block install lands files + returns snippet, component install respects `paths.components` remap, example-typed names throw `AddError` with code `example-type`, unknown names throw `AddError` with code `unknown-item` (4 tests plus 2 covering block default path and non-default path preservation)
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.test.ts`** — 9 tests:
  - Write/read round-trip, partial-config normalization, corrupt-file handling, absent-file fallback to defaults, custom paths preserved
- **CLI suite:** 92 passed (was 72 on #255, **+20**). Same 4 pre-existing failures unchanged

## Scope decisions

- **`init.ts` full port to new resolver deferred.** The original plan bundled a removal of the `packages/cli/src/templates/` compat shim. That's ~300 more lines and isn't required for `add` to work. The compat shim from #254 still functions; a separate cleanup PR handles it
- **No ajv runtime schema validation.** Manifests are trusted as schema-valid. Full validation lands when third-party registries arrive (PR 14/15). Path safety is still enforced by the installer's `assertSafeTarget` guard
- **Default project paths stay under `compositions/`.** Blocks → `compositions/<name>.html`; components → `compositions/components/<name>/<file>`. Users override via `hyperframes.json#paths`

## Breaking / migration

**None.** Pure additive — new command, new file types, no existing commands or flags change. `init.ts` now writes `hyperframes.json` but that's a new additional file, not a modification of existing output.

## Stacks on

#255 — base branch. When #255 merges, this rebases onto `main`.

## Next in stack

PR 6 — `feat(registry): seed block — claude-code-window`. First real registry item. Exercises the full `hyperframes add <name>` flow end-to-end against a committed item on `main`.
