* docs: align render, fps and transcribe docs with the CLI
- docs/guides/rendering.mdx: default render quality is `looks` (CRF 16),
not `standard`.
- docs/packages/cli.mdx, render --help (render.ts): default --output is the
timestamped `renders/<project>_<YYYY-MM-DD>_<HH-MM-SS>.<ext>`.
- skills/hyperframes-cli/references/preview-render.md: local --fps accepts
1-240 or a rational and defaults to the root data-fps, else 30; only
lambda and cloudrun are limited to 24, 30, 60.
- skills/hyperframes-cli/references/lint-validate-inspect.md: snapshot
--range is documented as START,END like every other reference.
- skills/media-use/references/audio.md, skills/media-use/audio/references/
transcribe.md, skills/hyperframes/references/captions.md: name the entry
point for each transcription default (transcribe.mjs prefers Parakeet;
`hyperframes transcribe` uses Parakeet when installed, else the small.en
whisper model).
- transcribe --model help text and docs/packages/cli.mdx: list `small` and
`medium`, which the CLI already accepts.
- skills-manifest.json: regenerated hashes for the three skills touched.
— Jerrai
* docs: lambda and cloud run also accept 25 fps
Distributed renders accept 24, 25, 30 and 60 fps (DISTRIBUTED_FPS in
packages/core/src/distributedFps.ts).
- skills/hyperframes-cli/references/preview-render.md: the --fps note
lists 24, 25, 30, 60 for lambda and cloudrun.
- skills/hyperframes-cli/references/lambda.md, cloudrun.md: --fps lists
include 25.
- packages/cli/src/docs/rendering.md (`hyperframes docs rendering`): --fps
said 24, 30 or 60 and --quality defaulted to standard; local render takes
1-240 or a rational, default root data-fps else 30, and the default
quality is looks.
- skills-manifest.json: regenerated hyperframes-cli hash.
— Jerrai
* chore(skills): regenerate skills manifest after formatting
The format hook rewrote skill markdown after the manifest hook had hashed
it, leaving the hyperframes-cli hash stale.
— Jerrai
- skills/hyperframes-cli/references/upgrade-info-misc.md: the "Remaining
harness usage" section (heading plus three paragraphs) appeared twice in
a row; removed the second, byte-identical copy (8 lines).
- skills-manifest.json: regenerated the hyperframes-cli content hash, as the
manifest check requires after a skill file changes.
No wording changed.

* feat: check names the filter fallback, the render log names the tier, Studio stops opting out
hyperframes check reports motion_blur_filter_fallback (info) with the reason capture could not
run and the way back to it. The engine's per-session log line gains tier=, and its pixel test
covers the fallback over a WebGL page. Studio no longer sends previewMotionBlur: every Chrome
can preview blur now, through the fallback where it lacks html-in-canvas; the server still
accepts false from an older Studio.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(core): blur picks the cheaper filter tier when every mover only translates
The scan now notes whether any mover turns or scales (the linear part of its transform chain
changes) and whether it already forms a stacking context while it moves. When every mover only
translates, the filter tier draws as well as capture and costs about what no blur costs: on an
8 s bench shot a render took 7.0 s against 9.9 s with capture and 7.3 s with no blur. Anything
that turns or scales, or moves without a transform, stays on capture.
data-motion-blur-tier="capture" or "filter" forces a tier. The report says which one drew
and why (translation-only, tier-attribute); hyperframes check stays quiet for those two, which
are choices, not fallbacks. The pixel tests run the shared assertions through both tiers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(motion-blur): the two tiers, the tier attribute, and what changed in limits
The guide described blur turning off for WebGL, a root transform and similar. It now says the
filter tier draws instead, how the tier is chosen and forced, what each does with a turn or a
zoom, the measured cost of each, and which findings check emits. The skill note drops the
off-for-WebGL advice and the 1.7x figure.

* feat(core): blur defaults match a 240 degree shutter and at least 32 samples
The shutter opens 240 degrees by default (was 180) and each mover gets at least 32 taps (was
sized to the smear alone, down to 2), growing with the smear as before. These are the settings
the shutter blur Jake built uses; on the card whip the default render is now 51 dB from his
(34.6 dB at the old defaults). The guide's attribute table says so.

* refactor(skills): fold six domain skills into hyperframes and media-use guides
hyperframes-core, -animation, -keyframes, -creative and -studio move to
skills/hyperframes/{core,animation,keyframes,creative,studio}/, and
hyperframes-audio moves to skills/media-use/mix/. Each moved SKILL.md becomes
a frontmatter-free GUIDE.md so installers that scan recursively for SKILL.md
no longer see them as skills; the published list goes from 21 to 15.
Relative links, code paths and skill-name mentions are rewritten to the new
locations, the catalog surfaces, marketplace core-skills list, fallback core
set, module-copy targets and skills-manifest.json follow, and
`hyperframes skills update` now removes the retired skills (RETIRED_SKILLS)
when they are still installed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): slim the core entries and give media-use a HeyGen and a free path
The four entries every run opens are rewritten to what an agent cannot infer:
hyperframes 21.8 KB to 7.7 KB, hyperframes-cli 24.8 KB to 6.9 KB,
hyperframes-registry 9.9 KB to 4.3 KB, media-use 9.7 KB to 4.9 KB. Detail moved
whole into references (routing close calls and creator edits, CLI pin upgrades,
catalog search tiers, CLI conventions and feedback reports).
- hyperframes: state table, routing, the render contract, a terminal work loop
(check, snapshot, preview before render), the desktop-app hand-off, and a
table of the folded guides.
- media-use: one table of HeyGen versus free local tools per need; HeyGen
sign-in, credits and the CLI's video-agent, avatar, clone, lipsync, translate
and clipping commands; every free path works with no account.
- scripts/check-core-skills.mjs holds entries and descriptions to budget and
checks every taught `npx hyperframes` command and path; runs in lint.
- Core entries are exempt from the formatter: its table padding cost ~1.5 KB
per entry on every run.
- Content tests follow the text to its new home.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): align the entry with the Studio skills and keep the workflows' measured facts
The entry drops routing and the intent interview and carries the contract, the
editable-project rules and the work loop. Studio's format, runtimes, motion,
look and captions references come over for terminal use, frame presets move to
assets/, media-use gains Studio's mixing and local-command references, and
film.md and overlays.md keep what the workflow skills measured.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills)!: retire the workflow skills and folded guides; publish seven knowledge skills
The skill pack now publishes exactly seven skills - hyperframes,
hyperframes-cli, hyperframes-registry, media-use, figma, slideshow and
remotion-to-hyperframes - carrying knowledge, not process. The eight
workflow skills, the folded domain guides and the routing/interview
references are deleted; their measured facts already live in the
hyperframes references (format, runtimes, motion, look, captions, film,
overlays) and media-use's mixing reference.
- bake-basemap.mjs and locate.mjs move to skills/hyperframes/scripts/
(bake-basemap gains --help); extract-audio-data.py moves to
media-use/audio/scripts/ for the caption motion reference.
- skills update: the eight workflows join RETIRED_SKILLS so existing
installs prune them (by lock attribution only, since their names are
generic); naming a retired skill reports where its knowledge went and
succeeds instead of failing as unknown.
- Capture prompts point at the hyperframes skill's references/film.md;
the live-map warning names the new bake-basemap path.
- Content tests that pinned knowledge are retargeted to the kept
references; tests of deleted workflows, scripts and process go.
- Catalog surfaces, templates and docs describe the seven skills.

* build(cli): raise the CLI size budget for the skill references it bundles
The CLI bundles skills/hyperframes, which now carries the folded domain guides and
frame presets (155 KB to 1.08 MB in git). Budgets are the CI-measured size plus 5%:
packed 7526634, unpacked 22593213.

* test: keep repo-sweep guards meaningful after the workflow skills left
The last shell ffprobe caller and most root index.html examples lived in retired
skills. The shell detector is now pinned on a literal command line, and the
structure-rule sweep needs more than 5 roots (11 remain) rather than 30.

* feat(skills): slim figma, slideshow and remotion to the Studio shape; restore the storyboard board
slideshow 33.5 KB to 4.9, figma 18.2 to 6.2, remotion-to-hyperframes 11.0 to
4.9, each keeping the facts only it holds (the figma motion helpers, verify gate,
storyboard decoding and usage beacons; present and hand-off; the Remotion lint,
SSIM check and API map). The board page format from the storyboard recipe comes
back as hyperframes/references/storyboard.md: the desktop app's Storyboard tab
reads boards/storyboard.html by its frame, title and time classes. The entry and
the init template now say to snapshot the moments an edit changed before
replying, which the terminal eval found skipped in 22 of 38 runs.

Review follow-ups on #5651:

docs, mixing.md and two Studio comments point there.
- code-editorial's FRAME.md says to copy its bundled WOFF2s and add the
@font-face blocks, instead of promising the retired build-frame.mjs.
- media-use states the host rule before the HeyGen sign-in steps.
- storyboard-format marks transition_in as a note the agent builds itself.
- Two stale citations (creator-editing-recipes.md, sub-compositions.md).

* feat(skills): films that tell a story start from three storylines; maps use real imagery
Opus 5.5 arm D read motion.md and applied it, but its launch film was a
feature list (pain, three feature cards, proof, logo): film.md left story
to the model. And the map case never opened film.md, so it drew Natural
Earth outlines instead of baking satellite tiles.
- references/story.md: the generic half of Studio's moment-film story and
craft (one thing, three storylines with world and device, the hook,
beats, worlds, copy, brand, tells of a generated film). The person picks
a storyline, or the agent takes its recommendation when asked for the
file or for no stops.
- The entry's work loop names the storyline step for films over ~15 s; the
references table routes stories to story.md and maps to film.md.
- film.md points at story.md and gives maps and real places a section.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): story.md follows the entry: no voiceover unless asked
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): bake-basemap starts from a globe and stops waiting out its idle timeout
The Opus 5.5 map run spent 13 of its 38 minutes on parallel bakes that
stalled and 15 more recording 300 frames, after rewriting the script because
it could only start on a flat map.
- PROJECTION=globe with a seeded starfield and atmosphere, and FROM/PAN to
turn the globe to CENTER before the dive.
- Each frame polls for loaded tiles instead of waiting for an "idle" event
that had often already fired: 30 frames went from 198-219 s to 10-13 s
locally with byte-identical frames.
- Progress prints seconds a frame and minutes left; film.md shows the globe
call and says to run one bake at a time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): render in the foreground; wait on a detached render's log, never pgrep -f
Both Opus 5.5 explainer runs started a detached render, then waited with
`until ! pgrep -f "hyperframes render"`, which matches its own loop: each
render took 88-117 s and the wait sat for the tool's full 10 minutes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): route each kind of film; storylines carry look and sound; add review and sound
The entry routes by request (launch, explainer, music, data, vertical, 3D,
character) to a self-contained file under references/types/, and a film
over ~15 s now gets music and sounds on its visible actions unless the
person asked for silence. Each storyline names its look and its sound, so
picking one picks both; STORYBOARD.md frames carry `reads` and `sound`.
review.md is the whole-film pass: the check warnings, the review sheets,
seven questions to look for, P0/P1/P2 notes and REVIEW.md. motion.md gains
eases by role, six title entrances, a reading-time rule and nine measured
transitions; look.md a design plan before the first scene, with presets
kept for decks and named picks. story.md adds the second default that
generated design falls into, with what to do instead.
The blank template and format.md no longer teach the fade-and-slide-up
entrance on a dark canvas.

* feat(cli): check warns on unread lines, dead stretches, small type, empty frame 0 and silence
A coding agent cannot watch its film, so check now measures what a viewer
notices over time. A new `craft` section holds warnings only (exit 0
unless --strict), sampled on the dense 8 fps grid the overlap pass
already seeks, skipped for --range checks:
- line_unread: a reading-size line (>= 30 px tall at 1080) on screen
under 0.4 s for 1-2 words, else under 3/4 of 0.5 s + 0.3 s a word;
the film's last line needs 2 s. Short lines are re-measured between
samples to ~0.01 s before judging. Captions-track and
data-layout-ignore text are exempt.
- dead_stretch: more than 3 s where the keepsMoving liveness signature
does not change, outside the final 3 s and any data-hold element;
quiet when sweep_static fires or a whole-composition keepsMoving
assertion owns the limit.
- text_below_floor: text under 2.6% of the short side (28 px on 1080)
held 0.5 s, one finding per file listing every element.
- first_frame_empty: frame 0 paints only the background.
- film_silent: over 15 s with no unmuted audio or audible video.
Each message names the fix and the skill reference to read. keepsMoving
now also leaves the film's last 3 s (a still end card) out of its
static runs, so the two agree.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(cli): snapshot --review captures a beat sheet, seam strips and a phone sheet
snapshot --review picks the frames that show a film over time instead of
evenly spaced ones, in the same single browser session:
- review-beats.jpg: one settled frame per scene at its start + 0.3 s,
plus one per timed data-beat="name" element, labelled time and id.
Scenes are the composition's top-level timed clips and sub-composition
hosts, read like `timeline` reads rows (captions and audio excluded)
and timed by the runtime's start resolver over the live page.
- review-seam-NN.jpg: frames at -0.2, -0.1, 0, +0.1, +0.2 s around
every cut (each scene start, and any scene end no scene starts at).
- review-phone.jpg: the beat frames at 360 px wide.
--composition scopes the review to one sub-composition; with fewer than
two scenes the beats spread evenly and a note says so. snapshot also
gains --json: one envelope with every frame's path and time and, under
--review, the scenes, beats and seams behind the sheets; progress moves
to stderr.

* fix(cli): craft warnings stay out of --strict; a hold gets a real next action, not a caret
Craft findings (unread lines, dead stretches, small type, an empty first
frame, silence) are judgment calls a film may break on purpose, so
--strict keeps gating defects only. The check reference no longer
suggests a blinking caret to keep a still frame moving.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): review spreads beats when every scene starts together; map credits skip the type floor
A map film whose basemap and overlay both start at 0 s got one beat
frame; the even spread now keys on distinct scene starts. film.md tells
agents to mark the imagery credit data-layout-ignore and back it, since
the new type floor flagged it on the first real run.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): review frames each scene at its middle too, not only 0.3 s in
On the first real explainer, 0.3 s into a scene showed a bare colour
field before its title entered. Each scene longer than about a second
and a half now adds a frame at its middle, so the sheet shows what the
scene builds.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): a film is built from a numeric SPEC.md, with defaults banned by name and a look test
Studied in full: flxrnc's Motion Lab (vague vs directed prompt), 0xMovez's
course, EianLu's riso skill, agentchengfeng's style samples and the two
Opus 5.5 guides. Their common point: adjectives are where the default look
lives, so the agent now writes SPEC.md before any scene (GOAL, OUTPUT,
TIME, LOOK, MOTION, SHOTS, BANNED, QA), with a number for every adjective.
spec.md bans the defaults by name, unless the brand or reference uses
them (a dark void with small things floating, glow and particles, the
cream-serif-mono-label look, fade-and-slide-up, corner brackets), and
grows that list after the first render. Each storyline gets a 3 s test of
its hero shot before the pick; a look is written as the rules of one
medium. Composition numbers: the hero fills 40% of the frame, one hero
move per shot, the shot's information in within 2.5 s then a held poster.
motion.md adds springs by damping ratio, shorter exits, overlap, stagger
and the beat grid; review.md reviews as a harsh director and grows BANNED;
vertical.md takes the riso skill's measured safe band; explainer.md the
shapes of information.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): story before look; every object reads as itself; posters only for info cards
The first spec-driven C02 swapped the dark default for a flat Swiss
poster, and the story went with it: two black bars nobody read as mirrors,
slogans instead of cause and effect, a storyline picked for its picture.
The spec now serves the story: a storyline is picked for the story a
stranger would follow, the look test asks first whether a stranger
understands what they see, and SPEC.md gains an OBJECTS line giving each
thing the material and details that make it read without a label. The
2.5 s held-poster rule is limited to information cards; in a story film
every shot causes the next. Explainers start from a person or situation
the viewer knows. Review names every object as a stranger would and
treats one that needs explaining as a P0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): storylines are three films in words, each with a device and a form
The three storylines are pitched as text and the person picks from them;
nothing is built for a storyline before the pick, so the 3 s hero-shot
look test is gone. Ideas pair a device with a form, five or more first,
keeping the three that differ most, and the one stop states the rest in
an assumption line that names every paid item beside its free option.

* fix(core): keep the audio preset comment within core's size budget
The comment's new citation to media-use's mixing reference made the published
package 14 bytes larger than its budget, which sits at main's exact size.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): craft keeps its own 8 fps grid; comments back within the checks
Review on #5651 found that the merge moved craft onto the overlap pass's
times, which main caps at 180, so a brief line in a long film fell between
samples and line_unread missed it. Craft now builds its own grid at 8 fps up to
600 samples, as before the merge, and a 60 s film with a line shown for 0.2 s
pins it.
The Comments check passes again: REVIEW.md and STORYLINES.md join the files a
skill writes into a project, the comment lines this branch added come back
under each file's share at the merge-base, and the audio preset comment drops
a word the check reads as history.

is still fetched in one request. A failed part cancels the others and the
existing output is kept, as before.

* feat(cli): judge text behind a transparent video by its decoded alpha in check
The layout audit treated every <video> as opaque over its whole box, so a
caption between footage and a remove-background cutout always failed
text_occluded and needed data-layout-allow-occlusion, which also hid a word
the subject's head fully covered.
check now draws the video's current (seeked) frame into one reused,
downscaled scratch canvas, once per sample and only for a video a text probe
lands under. A fully opaque frame keeps today's behaviour. A frame with
transparency is judged per rendered word against its alpha: partial cover is
an info finding carrying the most covered word's share, and a word 80% hidden
or two neighbouring words each half hidden is an error. A frame that cannot
be read falls back to opaque with a video_alpha_unread info note.

* fix(cli): check finds words under narrow, mirrored or backed cutouts
Review follow-ups on #5657:
- A matte the probe walk passes over, even at clear-alpha points, now triggers
the per-word check, so a feature between two probe columns (an arm, a mic
stand) still fails the word it hides.
- Mirrored videos and images map viewport points through the flip; a rotated,
skewed or 3D-transformed video falls back to opaque with video_alpha_unread.
- A video with an opaque CSS background keeps its whole box occluding.
- cli.mdx lists every unread cause and why a fully transparent frame is one.

* feat(cli): audio answers beats, downbeats, bpm, sections and describe through a provider ladder
Beats and downbeats try api, apple-mu, beat-this, then signal; sections try api, apple-mu,
then signal; describe tries api, then apple-sound. bpm is read off whichever provider placed
the beats. Each provider says whether it can run here and why not, and the ladder warns
when it passes one over.
The signal rung is a TypeScript tracker: log-band spectral flux, autocorrelation tempo with
a log-normal prior, Ellis dynamic-programming beats with a windowed local tempo, a low-band
bar phase, and Foote novelty sections snapped to beats. It reports no steady beat when the
onsets do not repeat.
The api rung posts the audio to HYPERFRAMES_AUDIO_API_URL with HYPERFRAMES_AUDIO_API_KEY and
moves each answered time onto the nearest signal beat within a quarter beat, reporting what
moved and what did not. beat-this runs Beat This! from a configured Python and local weights
and never downloads. apple-sound runs macOS's sound classifier through a Swift helper.
apple-mu reports that Music Understanding needs macOS 27.
words are no longer accepted: they come from hyperframes transcribe.
* docs(cli): audio's beats, downbeats, bpm, sections, describe and their provider ladder
* feat(cli): beats tracks the music with the TypeScript beat tracker, without Chrome
hyperframes beats and Studio's beat detection now share analyzeMusicFromSignal: band energies,
then the spectral-flux tracker in audioRhythm.ts, then each beat's loudness for its strength.
The CLI decodes with the same ffmpeg path as hyperframes audio, so beats no longer launches
headless Chrome. Studio still decodes in the browser and passes every channel.
The old analyzer averaged bpm-detective's tempo with an energy-peak tempo it had only compared
after folding both into one octave, and phased a rigid grid from noisy peaks. On 22 real tracks
with exact script grids it found the tempo 18% of the time with beat F 0.437; this finds it
91% of the time with F 0.887, and refuses the other two rather than guess.
Below a tracker confidence of 0.2 no beats are reported, so ambient or rubato music gets no
invented grid and the CLI still writes nothing. bpm-detective, the energy-peak grid, the
headless analyzer and its prebuilt bundle are gone.
* fix(core): tempo reads 96 BPM off beats on 10 ms frames, not 95.2
The tracker places beats on 10 ms frames, so a 625 ms beat lands 620 or 630 ms apart and the
median interval reported 95.2 or 96.8 BPM. Tempo now averages the intervals within 10% of the
median: as robust to a skipped or doubled beat, without the frame-sized step. Both
hyperframes audio and hyperframes beats read it.
* fix(cli): remove redundant audio context comment
* fix(core): remove redundant tempo interval comment
* fix(ci): record beat analyzer removals and browser evidence

* fix(history): read and release snapshot leases through verified handles
* test(history): run lease races in Node and check released markers
* fix(studio): verify snapshot leases from open descriptors
* fix(cli): report spend usage for Claude plans without rate windows
Spend-metered Claude plans (for example Enterprise) return null five_hour
and seven_day windows from the OAuth usage endpoint and put their allowance
in spend / extra_usage instead. The parser rejected every such response as
invalid_usage_response, so `hyperframes usage` always reported unknown.
- Read spend.percent (falling back to extra_usage.utilization) into a new
`spend` window on known results; over-limit spend caps at fully used.
- Report `no_usage_windows` instead of `invalid_usage_response` when a
well-formed response simply has no window.
- Document the `spend` field in the hyperframes-cli skill.

* fix(cli): keep clean --snapshots inside the project
A symlinked .hyperframes or artifacts folder was followed, so the command

A held history or a corrupt output registry warns and leaves the command result alone.

* fix(media-use): transcript-cut video renders without repeated frames or a keyframe warning
transcript-cut wrote each kept range to a temporary .mkv, and ffmpeg
writes Matroska timestamps in whole milliseconds. A 30 fps frame that
belongs at 2/30 s ended up at 0.067, the final copy kept it there, and
the renderer showed the previous frame wherever a timestamp was late.
The temporary files are now .mov, which holds the frame times exactly
and still carries PCM audio, so the audio is encoded once, as before.
The cut also gets a keyframe every second. x264 on its own left them
several seconds apart, and the renderer warned about the footage this
script had just written.
Fixes#5417

* fix(media-use): transcript-cut ranges start on their first frame with any ffmpeg
ffmpeg 7 and later start a kept range that begins between two source
frames one frame late, and .mov rounds that lead-in to the millisecond,
which put the frames off the grid again. ffmpeg 6 did not do this, so
the tests passed locally and failed in CI.
Each temporary file is now written at a constant frame rate, so the
first frame of a range is at zero whichever ffmpeg runs it.

* fix(media-use): keep frame precision on transcript-cut seek boundaries
Fixes#5416.
A kept range whose boundary sits on a frame got rounded to the millisecond
twice on its way to ffmpeg, and at 29.97/30/60 fps that is enough to land just
past the frame: frame 386 at 30 fps is 12.866666 s, and -ss 12.867 starts that
segment on frame 387 instead. ffmpeg's accurate seek drops the frame, so the cut
came out a frame short from that join on and the picture drifted behind the
sound.
cutlist.mjs rounded the emitted range bounds to 3 decimals, so fmt() in
transcript-cut.mjs never saw more precision than that in the first place; fixing
only fmt() leaves the bug in place. Both now keep frame precision -- 6 decimals
in the cut list, full precision for the -ss/-to actually handed to ffmpeg --
while the 3-decimal fmt() is kept for the times that are only printed.
Measured at 30 fps: a cut of 0-1,1.0666666-3 produced 87 frames before and 88
after (frames 0-29 plus frames 32-89), with no timestamp gap at the join. 25 fps
is unaffected, as the issue notes.

* fix(media-use): honor telemetryEnabled: false from shared config in optedOut
The CLI's 'hyperframes telemetry disable' writes telemetryEnabled: false to ~/.hyperframes/config.json, but the media-use scripts' optedOut() only checked env vars, so transcribe.mjs, transcript-cut.mjs and audio-duck.mjs kept sending PostHog events for users who had opted out through the CLI.
optedOut() now also returns true when the shared config has telemetryEnabled === false, reusing the readSharedConfig() helper already in the same file. Applied byte-identically to both copies of telemetry.mjs (skills/media-use/scripts/lib and packages/cli/src/media-use/lib, per the copy-parity rule), with tests in both test files.

* feat(audio): composition master bus (data-fx-chain on the root)
A clip can belong to only one audio group, so there was no way to put one
effect, such as a limiter, across the whole mix. The data-fx-chain on the
top-level composition root now runs once over the sum of every clip and every
group, after each group's own chain and fader. No new attribute: a sub-composition
root's data-fx-chain was never applied to anything and still is not.
Render: when a master chain exists, mixAudioTracks writes a float WAV instead
of AAC, applyAudioFxChain runs the chain over it, and ffmpeg encodes AAC last,
so the chain reads unclipped samples. An unreadable chain is a mix failure, as
for a group. Preview: the transport splices the chain between the clips' sum and
the monitor, re-anchored per play generation and watched for edits.
Only the top-level root is read. No master automation: the root's data-automation
is not read as the bus's. No lint rule: data-fx-chain is valid on clips, groups
and roots, and the one place it does nothing (a sub-composition root) has always
been silent.
— Jerrai
* fix(core): preview routes every audible video through the master bus
A root data-fx-chain is attached only inside the Web Audio graph, but a plainly
audible <video> joined that graph only for its own chain, group, automation or a
volume over 1. So preview limited the music and left the talking head dry, and a
composition whose only audio is video got no master chain at all, while export
sums every audible element into the master. A master chain on the top-level
composition root is now a reason to join, the same as a video's own chain.
Elements under a root with no chain keep native output. Sub-composition roots
are still ignored.
— Jerrai
* fix(audio): master bus review round 2 (temp dir, tests, docs, Studio meter)
- audioMixer: a fatal FX error in the master pass or a group bus left the
work directory (the full float sum, about 1.4 GB an hour) on disk. The
final mix now runs in try/finally and the group rethrow removes it first.
- Tests: the "once over the sum" case now uses a limiter then a gain, so a
per-clip chain (-10.4) and a doubled one (-18) both fail it; a new case
proves the sum stays float until the chain reads it; the fader case uses
a group volume of 0.5 so the fader's position is exercised; the work-dir
removal is covered for both paths.
- Docs: "Three rules exist" (the master-bus lint rule is gone), a bad master
chain stops the render with audio_processing_failed, a sub-composition
file opened on its own has its root chain as the master bus, and a seek
clears a group or master limiter.
- Studio: TimelineElement.masterChain carries the root's data-fx-chain, so
the program meter shows for a video-only composition whose only audio
routing is the master chain, as preview now plays it.
- Comment blocks over four lines cut; webAudioTransport.setRate split so
its CRAP score is under the Fallow threshold.
— Jerrai
* fix(audio): master chain reaches tracks the render adds; honest plain-limiter copy
- Master chain: it was carried on each parsed AudioElement, so a track the
producer adds itself (appendAutoDetectedVideoAudio, the browser-discovered
audio in probeStage) never had it, and a composition whose only audio was
such a track exported with no master chain, no ceiling and no warning. It is
now a composition property: parseMasterFxChain(html) at compile, carried on
CompiledComposition and CompositionMetadata, passed to processCompositionAudio
by runAudioStage (in-process and distributed plan). AudioElement.masterFxChain
is removed so there is one source. Each forward (compile stage, local
orchestrator, distributed plan) has a test that fails when it is dropped.
- Plain limiter: it follows the level with no lookahead and Level after is
applied past the ceiling, so it cannot promise "nothing gets past" or "never
clips". Studio copy (description, panel text, knob label, summary) and the
hyperframes-audio skill now say a fast or inter-sample peak can pass it and
point to the true-peak limiter for a delivery limit. A copy test guards it.
— Jerrai
* fix(producer): keep master bus comments within the ratchet; run the plan test with the ffmpeg tests
Drop three one-line field comments that raised their files' comment share,
and list plan.masterBus.test.ts with the integration tests because plan()
reads the ffmpeg version.
— Jerrai
* chore(ci): repin the producer test-classification source in the reachability map
The reachability map pins the hash of test-classification.mjs, which now
lists one more integration test. The map's producer lane command already
covers every test under src, in both the unit and integration matrix lanes.

* fix(cli): media-treatment applies one treatment to every matched image or video

* fix(cli): media-treatment patches each match by its stable id so one write cannot redirect another
* fix(cli): media-treatment sets every match in one parse instead of re-finding elements
* fix(cli): media-treatment refuses media that is not an HTML element, as before
* chore(skills): refresh the media-use manifest hash for the treatment reference edit
* feat(core): add a lookahead true-peak limiter FX (truepeak)
The existing limiter is an envelope follower with no lookahead and no
inter-sample detection, so a -14 dB ceiling can leave the true peak several dB
over. truepeak estimates the true peak on a 4x polyphase interpolator, takes the
minimum required gain over a lookahead window and smooths it with a boxcar of
the same length, so the gain is already down when the peak leaves the delay
line. Release is exponential and can only lower the gain further; channels
share one gain.
The offline render lengthens the OfflineAudioContext by the chain's latency and
drops the lead-in, so a limited clip stays sample-aligned with its source.
Preview plays the lookahead (about 3.3 ms at the default).
— Jerrai
* docs(audio): truepeak ceiling is a 4x estimate; measure it with an ideal interpolator
The unit test's meter was a 96-tap Kaiser sinc, which rolls off near Nyquist and
reads full-band noise about 0.5 dB low, so the PR reported a 0.3 dB broadband
overshoot. Against an ideal 16x interpolation (zero-padded FFT, cross-checked with
a 16x soxr resample) hot full-band white noise ends 1.2 to 1.7 dB over the ceiling
(median 1.4 over 28 runs of 10 to 30 s). ffmpeg's ebur128 true peak is also a 4x
meter and reads the same files 0.1 dB over.
- The test meter is now the FFT interpolation. Tolerances are what it measures on
each fixed signal: tones 0.01 dB (they land on the ceiling), the dense program
0.5 dB (reads 0.445, the old 0.4 passed only because the meter read low), and a
new full-band noise case at -1, -6 and -14 dBTP with 1.35 dB (reads 1.09 to 1.31).
- audio-effects.mdx and the hyperframes-audio skill say the ceiling is a 4x
estimate, give the measured overshoot and recommend a 2 dB margin under a hard
delivery limit.
- skills-manifest.json regenerated.
— Jerrai
* fix(core): truepeak UI copy no longer promises a hard ceiling
The registry description and the rack summary said the true peak is never above
the ceiling. The limiter holds a 4x estimate, and full-band noise can land up to
about 1.7 dB above it, as the docs now say. The summary reads "held near", the
description names the estimate and the overshoot, and the rack blurb says "holds
... to a ceiling". No skill file changed, so the skills manifest is unchanged.
— Jerrai
* fix(core): Studio truepeak copy states the 4x-estimate margin
The ceiling control was labelled "Never exceed" and the module said the mix
"must not clip", so a Studio user never saw that dense full-band content can end
up to about 1.7 dB above the ceiling. The label is now "Target ceiling" with a
hint that names the 4x estimate and the headroom to leave, the blurb says
"toward a target ceiling", the rack summary says peaks are pulled down toward the
value, and the registry hint no longer says "highest true peak allowed". The
audio skill's "hard dBTP ceiling" wording is gone and the skills manifest is
regenerated. A copy test keeps the promise out.
— Jerrai
* fix(core): truepeak clears on a seek, and the review nits (fallow, comments)
- Unexport TRUE_PEAK_OVERSAMPLE, TRUE_PEAK_DETECTOR_DELAY and
truePeakLookaheadSamples: nothing imports them (Fallow audit).
- A persistent group bus keeps its chain across a seek, so the limiter's
delay line and held gain carried over. The worklet takes __hfReset, the
graph exposes FxChainHandle.reset(), and reanchor() calls it.
- The processor-loading harness is shared by the truepeak and worklet tests
(it was a 12-line clone); the test FFT no longer repeats audioCarve's
bit-reversal; two test bodies are under the CRAP threshold.
- Comment blocks cut to four lines or fewer (Comments check).
- Docs state the preview delay in ms.

* feat(media-use): reach HeyGen through a host app's gateway (HEYGEN_API_BASE)
- The audio engine sends every HeyGen call to $HEYGEN_API_BASE when set, as the heygen CLI does; plain HTTP needs
$HEYGEN_ALLOW_HTTP=1, the CLI's own rule. A host gateway (that base with its own key) wins over a host OAuth token.
- The skill says: inside a host that gives HeyGen access, no CLI install or sign-in, prefer the host's own HeyGen
tools, relay a refused call's message as written and do not switch providers on your own.
HyperFrames Desktop sets these variables when a HeyGen API key is saved in its Settings, so media-use's TTS, catalog
search and avatar calls are paid by that key.

- The "use the host's own tools first / no CLI sign-in" guidance is now conditional on HEYGEN_API_BASE alone, so an
agent outside such a host (Claude Code with a HeyGen MCP connector, say) keeps today's media-use journey. The
compressed copies in README, CLAUDE.md, the prompting overview, general-video and the capability menu are back to
main's wording.
- A base outside heygen.com gets no stored or host OAuth credential, only a key set for it (review on #5181).

* fix(media-use): a project's .env cannot set the HeyGen base or allow HTTP
loadEnvFromDir copied HEYGEN_API_BASE from a project file into process.env, and the host gateway path then sent the
person's shell HEYGEN_API_KEY to that host. A host app sets HEYGEN_API_BASE and HEYGEN_ALLOW_HTTP in the environment
it spawns, never in a project file, so the .env loader skips both.
