Adds a Blocks tab to the Studio left sidebar with the full 78-item registry
catalog (58 blocks + 20 components). Users can browse by category, search by
title/description, preview CDN-hosted poster thumbnails with video-on-hover,
and install items on-demand with one click or drag-to-timeline.
Core changes:
- BlockCategory type + resolveBlockCategory() for 7 categories (Captions, VFX,
Transitions, Effects, Social, Data, Scenes)
- Registry API routes: GET /api/registry/blocks (catalog) + POST install
- StudioApiAdapter extended with listRegistryCatalog + installRegistryBlock
- Vite adapter reads from disk; CLI adapter fetches from GitHub (24h cache)
- BlockParam interface + params on 6 blocks for future parameter controls
Studio UI:
- 4th sidebar tab "Blocks" with responsive grid, category pills, search bar
- BlockCard: CDN poster thumbnail, video autoplay on hover, duration + WebGL badges
- On-demand install: blocks append as sub-compositions on timeline; components
overlay at start=0 spanning full duration with transparent background patching
- TIMELINE_BLOCK_MIME drag-and-drop to timeline
- BlockParamsPanel (Phase 3 scaffold) auto-opens for parameterized blocks
Registry manifests:
- All 58 blocks backfilled with preview: { video, poster } CDN URLs
- All 20 components normalized to object format + poster URLs added
- 6 blocks annotated with params (Liquid Glass/Background, Portal, Chart,
Logo Outro, Magnetic)
- flowchart-vertical preview generated and uploaded to CDN
hyperframes add now auto-detects whether the argument is a single
block name or a tag. No --tag flag needed:
hyperframes add html-in-canvas # installs all 7 html-in-canvas blocks
hyperframes add captions # installs all 5 caption blocks
hyperframes add vfx-shatter # installs one block
When the name doesn't match a registry item, the CLI falls back to
tag-based resolution and bulk-installs all matching blocks.
Also fixes tag assignments:
- VFX blocks tagged "html-in-canvas" (not "vfx")
- Caption blocks tagged "captions" only (no html-in-canvas)
All 12 blocks now share the 'html-in-canvas' tag, enabling:
hyperframes add --tag html-in-canvas
This installs all VFX + caption blocks in one command.
Add 12 new registry blocks across two new categories:
**VFX Blocks (7):**
- vfx-text-cursor: dramatic text reveal with cursor glow and chromatic shadows
- vfx-liquid-background: organic liquid simulation with vertex displacement
- vfx-iphone-device: real GLTF iPhone + MacBook with live HTML screens
- vfx-magnetic: magnetic field particle visualization
- vfx-portal: dimension breach portal transition
- vfx-liquid-glass: Voronoi glass fracture with parallax reveal
- vfx-shatter: glass shatter with physics-driven fragments
**Caption Blocks (5):**
- captions-slam: bold uppercase scale-pop with back.out overshoot
- captions-karaoke: word-by-word color reveal on frosted glass pill
- captions-minimal: clean Netflix-subtitle style fade
- captions-bounce: playful elastic bounce with colorful word pills
- captions-cinematic: elegant slow fade with letter-spacing animation
All blocks include registry-item.json and are registered in registry.json.
VFX blocks use experimental stability, caption blocks use stable.
