Add aq-mode=3 (auto-variance adaptive quantization) to CPU H.264/H.265
encoding. This redistributes bits from bright/textured areas to dark flat
areas where color banding is most visible in 8-bit yuv420p output.
- standard/high presets: aq-mode=3 + aq-strength=0.8 + deblock=1,1
- draft (ultrafast): aq-mode=3 only (deblock too slow for ultrafast)
- GPU and VP9 encoders unaffected (have their own AQ implementations)
Adds 6 regression tests verifying the params are emitted correctly.
Fixes color banding on dark gradients (eval issue #3, prompts 3,5,10,14).

## Summary
Addresses all 8 issues from the QA report to improve agent and user experience.
### P0 — Must Fix
- **Blank template broken captions**: Removed `compositions/captions.html` and its reference from the blank template. Every agent (10/10) hit 404 errors during render.
- **Inner-wrapper example**: Added a clear structural comment in the blank template showing the correct `class="clip"` + inner wrapper pattern.
- **Sub-composition introspection**: `hyperframes compositions` now reads external HTML files referenced via `data-composition-src` and shows their real duration/element count instead of `0.0s / 0 elements`.
### P1 — Fix Soon
- **Font mapping warnings**: Now lists all mapped fonts, suggests alternatives (use a mapped font, add @font-face, install locally), and links to docs.
- **Browser 404s**: Non-font "Failed to load resource" 404s now prefixed with `[non-blocking]` instead of `[Browser:ERROR]`.
- **Render concurrency**: Default workers increased from `cores/2` (max 4) to `cores*3/4` (max 6). Added `--concurrency` alias.
### P2 — Nice to Have
- **Transform conflict fix suggestion**: `gsap_css_transform_conflict` now suggests exact GSAP property replacements (e.g., `xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`).
- **Upgrade --yes**: Now actually runs the install instead of just printing the command.
## Before / After
### Font mapping warning
**Before:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
```
**After:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
Mapped fonts: arial → inter, courier → jetbrains-mono, ...
To fix, pick one:
1. Use a mapped font name instead (see list above)
2. Add a @font-face block in your HTML with a local or hosted font file
3. Install the font locally on the render machine (Docker: add to Dockerfile)
4. Add an alias to FONT_ALIASES in deterministicFonts.ts (for contributors)
```
### Browser 404s during render
**Before:** `[Browser:ERROR] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
**After:** `[non-blocking] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
### Transform conflict lint
**Before:** `Fix: Remove the transform from CSS and use tl.fromTo...`
**After:** `Fix: Remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%) from CSS and replace with GSAP properties: xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`
### Compositions command
**Before:**
```
overlay 0.0s 1920×1080 0 elements
```
**After:**
```
overlay 8.0s 1920×1080 2 elements ← compositions/overlay.html
```
## Test plan
- [x] All 422 core tests pass
- [x] TypeScript compiles cleanly (all 4 packages)
- [x] Full monorepo build succeeds
- [x] `hyperframes init --template blank` ships without broken captions reference
* fix(engine): suppress font-loading 404 noise in render console output
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(engine): downgrade resource 404s to buffer-only instead of suppressing
Address review feedback: instead of silently dropping "Failed to load
resource" errors (which could hide real asset failures), keep them in
browserConsoleBuffer for diagnostics but don't print to stdout. Real
asset 404s are still caught by the file server's own logging.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(engine): narrow 404 filter to font CDN domains and woff2 files only
Address review: filter was too broad and could suppress real asset
failures. Now only suppresses 404s matching fonts.googleapis,
fonts.gstatic, or .woff2 file extensions. Missing images, scripts,
and videos will still surface as [Browser:ERROR] in render output.

## What
Move the id-less media fix into the shared timing compiler so producer can resolve durations for sub-composition videos before inlining, then carry the merged result through engine parsing, regression coverage, and the regression Docker image used in CI.
This PR now does five concrete things:
- assigns stable ids to id-less media in core `compileTimingAttrs()` so unresolved duration injection can target them
- keeps the engine-side `parseVideoElements()` support for `video[src]` plus the newer `data-duration` / natural-duration fallback from `main`
- makes producer prefer sub-composition media metadata over the later inlined-document parse when the same media id appears in both places
- makes `sub-composition-video` a runnable regression test by fixing its metadata and checking in the missing `output/compiled.html` snapshot
- removes the stale `pnpm-workspace.yaml` copy step from `Dockerfile.test`, so regression CI builds the Bun-based test image from the current workspace layout
## Why
- media without an explicit `id` could not participate in unresolved-duration resolution early enough
- producer could lose the resolved sub-composition timing by overwriting it with the later inlined parse
- the regression fixture intended to cover this case was not actually running in CI because its `meta.json` was incomplete and the required compiled snapshot was missing
- the regression image definition still expected a deleted `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, so GitHub Actions failed before the test shard could start
Putting the id-generation step in core makes the behavior reusable instead of relying on producer-only HTML patching.
## How
### Shared compiler
- core `compileTimingAttrs()` now auto-assigns stable ids to id-less `video` / `audio` tags
- those generated ids are returned in `unresolved`, so `injectDurations()` can add `data-duration` and `data-end` to the same media element later in the pipeline
- added core tests that cover auto-id assignment and duration injection for generated ids
### Producer
- when producer combines `subVideos` / `subAudios` with the media re-parsed from the final inlined HTML, it now lets the sub-composition metadata win
- this preserves the resolved/clamped timing already computed for nested media instead of overwriting it with the later parse
- `sub-composition-video` now has valid regression metadata and a checked-in `output/compiled.html` snapshot so CI actually executes it
### Engine
- resolved the merge conflict in `videoFrameExtractor` by keeping the broader `video[src]` parsing from this branch and the `data-duration` / natural-duration fallback that landed on `main`
- added a focused engine unit test for videos without ids
### CI image
- `Dockerfile.test` now copies only `package.json` and `bun.lock` at the workspace root before `bun install --frozen-lockfile`
- this matches the current monorepo layout and removes the obsolete pnpm-era dependency on `pnpm-workspace.yaml`
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/core test`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer test --update --sequential sub-composition-video`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer test --sequential sub-composition-video`
- [x] Browser check with `agent-browser` against the compiled fixture page (`http://127.0.0.1:8123/compiled.html`)
- [x] Clean tracked-only Docker build of `Dockerfile.test` with the PR version of the file applied
## Notes
- Latest regression workflow is green on `main`, but before this PR the `sub-composition-video` fixture was being skipped by the harness rather than exercised end to end.
- The CI Docker fix was validated from a tracked-only export to avoid local untracked worktree artifacts affecting the result.
Add @chenglou/pretext dependency and fitTextFontSize() utility that uses
canvas measureText to compute the largest font size that fits text within
a given width. Replaces character-count heuristics with actual font-aware
measurement.
- New fitTextFontSize() in @hyperframes/core/text, exposed on window.__hyperframes
- Generalized for all text elements (captions, titles, etc.), not just captions
- Unit tests (mocked pretext) + browser integration test (real Chromium canvas)
- Updated captions skill docs with usage, exit guarantee, and self-lint patterns

## Summary
- **Lint rules** catch media elements missing `id` (renderer silently skips them), missing `src`, `preload="none"` (blocks renderer), and video nested in timed divs (freezes playback). Upgraded `video_nested_in_timed_element` from warning to error.
- **Compiler** strips `preload="none"` from media during compilation. Runs parallel, cached keyframe interval analysis via ffprobe — warns on sparse keyframes (>2s) that cause seek failures and audio/video desync. Suggested ffmpeg command preserves audio (`-c:a copy`).
- **Pre-render lint** lints `index.html` + all `compositions/*.html` sub-compositions before render via shared `lintProject()` helper. Warns by default; `--strict` blocks on errors, `--strict-all` blocks on errors + warnings.
- **Render orchestrator** logs a hint to retry with `--workers 1` when parallel capture times out on video-heavy compositions.
- **Refactor**: extracted `runFfprobe()` + `parseProbeJson()` helpers to deduplicate ~80 lines of spawn boilerplate across 3 ffprobe functions. Extracted `shouldBlockRender()` so strict flag tests exercise production code. Shared `lintProject()` used by both `lint` and `render` commands.
## Context
Discovered during a real composition build session where:
1. `<audio>` without `id` rendered silently (preview worked fine because runtime queries `[data-start]`, but renderer queries `[id][src]`)
2. `<video>` inside timed `<div>` froze on first frame
3. `preload="none"` caused 45s renderer timeout
4. YouTube clips with sparse keyframes from `yt-dlp --download-sections` caused audio/video desync
5. Parallel workers timed out on video-heavy compositions
## Test plan
- [x] Core: 365/365 tests passing (5 new lint tests)
- [x] Engine: 24/24 tests passing
- [x] CLI: 14/14 tests passing (7 lintProject + 7 shouldBlockRender)
- [x] Lint + format hooks pass
- [ ] Manual: create a composition with `<audio data-start="0" src="test.wav">` (no id) — verify `npx hyperframes lint` catches it
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict` with lint errors — verify it blocks
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict-all` with lint warnings — verify it blocks
npm's sigstore provenance verification requires package.json
repository.url to match the GitHub repo. Without it, publish
fails with E422 "expected to match https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes".
- Use static import for copyFileSync (was unnecessary dynamic import)
- Shallow-copy config before mutating forceScreenshot (prevents
caller-provided config from being permanently modified)
- Consolidate isWebm/isWebmRender/outputFormat into single early
declaration in renderOrchestrator
- Fix debug output extension for WebM (was hardcoded .mp4)
- Log unexpected audio extraction errors instead of silently swallowing
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Force screenshot capture mode for WebM (beginFrame doesn't support
alpha channel in chrome-headless-shell)
- Set Emulation.setDefaultBackgroundColorOverride once during session
creation (matching experiment-framework's approach)
- Fix acquireBrowser to pass executable path in screenshot mode on
Linux (was setting undefined, causing puppeteer-core to fail)
- Add Page.captureScreenshot params: fromSurface, captureBeyondViewport,
optimizeForSpeed (matching experiment-framework)
- Fix regression harness extractMonoPcm16 for videos without audio
- Add getEncoderPreset unit tests
- Add webm-transparency regression test with golden baseline
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New regression test `webm-transparency`: minimal transparent composition
rendered to WebM, validates VP9 codec and visual quality at 100
checkpoints against golden baseline
- Extend regression harness: `renderConfig.format` field ("mp4" | "webm"),
format-aware output paths and snapshot filenames
- Fix `extractMonoPcm16` to gracefully handle videos without audio
streams (WebM without audio was throwing instead of returning empty)
- Unit tests for `getEncoderPreset()`: VP9/yuva420p for WebM,
h264/yuv420p for MP4, preset mapping, quality preservation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Support rendering compositions with transparent backgrounds via
`--format webm`. VP9+alpha is the standard format for overlayable
video (captions, lower thirds, overlays).
Changes by layer:
- CLI: `--format mp4|webm` flag on render command
- Producer: threads format through RenderConfig, switches to PNG
capture and VP9 encoding when webm
- Engine: getEncoderPreset() returns VP9 config with yuva420p;
transparent page background via CDP when capturing PNG;
mux uses Opus audio for WebM; VP9 flags from production:
-row-mt 1, -auto-alt-ref 0, alpha_mode=1 metadata
- Frame capture: Emulation.setDefaultBackgroundColorOverride a=0

pnpm converts workspace:^ to ^X.Y.Z during publish, but workspace:*
was left unconverted in the registry. This caused install failures
for external consumers.
