Rendering, Performance, Deploy, Figma and Bring in a design.
**Figma is the one worth reading about.** The first attempt failed honestly — no
token, no file key, so it refused to fake an import and built a generic design
handoff instead, where both panels looked identical and nothing was demonstrated.
A real token and file key were sitting in bug-bash-figma-hf. With genuine access
it makes the actual point: the same cursor and the same clicks land on a PNG export
and on the imported HTML, and only the HTML responds — the field takes text, the
button runs through its states. One side is pixels, the other is a component. It
replaces the placeholder comment on Bring in a design too.
**Performance is measured, not asserted.** 25.0s against 9.8s as the median of
three runs at 1920x1080 over 300 frames, one CSS declaration responsible for the
whole gap, and a pixel comparison at 43.7 dB PSNR confirming the picture did not
change. Real numbers from real runs on this machine.
**Rendering** shows the loop end to end. **Deploy** shows the four places a render
can run and labels anything not executed live.
All four carry their own audio at about -19 dB. Each was checked on a contact
sheet and for dead frames before publishing.
Guides with nothing to look at: 15 at the start of this work, 5 now. The five
left are pages where a video would be decoration — authentication, feedback, a
decision table, a comparison that carries code, and 4K, which is a paragraph
about a flag.
Rewrites the pages that survive the restructure so they lead with what a reader
can accomplish, and points them at the sections added in the previous commit.
Page set and navigation are unchanged here; only content moves.
Keeps the skill count in README. CLAUDE.md's catalog-maintenance rule requires
the count to live in README and CLAUDE.md, and both now agree with the 19
directories under skills/.
The old setup section was one long token-minting flow with the MCP
connector as an afterthought — but motion/shaders/storyboards need
only the connector (no token at all), and even brand tokens are
easier via MCP on any non-Enterprise plan. A reader wanting only
motion had to wade past REST scope tables meant for a different path.
Restructured into a decision table (what you want → which credential)
followed by two equal, independent steps. Step A's scope list now
states the 3 boxes to check on a normal (non-Enterprise) account
up front, instead of a generic 4-scope table the reader has to
interpret themselves. Step B now states the MCP connector's actual
capability (variable reads work on any plan, rate-limited by tier —
6 calls/month on Starter) instead of "no scopes to configure," which
undersold what it can do.

Miga's re-review caught it: the new RATE_LIMITED row (client auto-
retries with backoff) landed alongside the old pre-retry row ("wait a
minute and retry; chunk batch renders"), leaving two rows for the same
code — one accurate, one stale. Keep only the current one.

Addresses @miguel-heygen's review on #2112:
- BLOCKER: docs/guides/figma.mdx now matches the shipped code/skill —
adds the Library content: Read-only scope row (+ corrects the
'falls back, expected' line that was false without it), and the
troubleshooting table now says bad PATs surface as 403 Invalid token
(not 401), names the scope in FORBIDDEN, and documents RATE_LIMITED retry.
- nit: the batch summary line no longer claims '1 figma request' when every
node was a cache hit — says 'all reused from cache — no figma request'.
- nit: index.md regen moved to a finally, so a mid-batch RENDER_FAILED
leaves index.md consistent with the nodes that did freeze.

Field feedback from a raw-API agent build (join-the-world-flow): the
catalog blurb's word 'animatics' encodes the PNG-slideshow architecture
the skill body explicitly forbids — an agent routing by the blurb
concludes the shipped behavior is frames-as-pictures. Reworded to
'reconstructed motion (frames read as states, not slides)' across all
catalog surfaces (skill frontmatter, CLAUDE.md, README, skills.mdx,
hyperframes router, figma guide).
Also codifies the stronger doctrine that build demonstrated as
storyboard rule 10: when every frame is the same product UI in
successive states, rebuild the app as live DOM (Phase-3 for stateful
parts, real pixels for static chrome — code what changes state, freeze
what doesn't) and perform frame deltas as interactions instead of
tweens. Spec §5.1 records the escalation + field origin.

* feat(skills): reroute /figma by capability - REST/CLI for phases 1-3, MCP for 4-5 (M4)
Rewrites the skill from MCP-first to the spec 2 split: asset/tokens/
component route through the hyperframes figma CLI (FIGMA_TOKEN), motion/
shaders stay agent-driven over MCP (no REST equivalent). Adds two-
credential guidance, Starter rate-limit tactics (recursive:true, raw-
response cache, opt-in screenshots), the 7.1 binding flow (tokens before
components, one ask per unknown library, never value matching), and the
shader manual-export default. Catalog blurbs updated in lockstep.

* fix(cli): register figma component subcommand

* feat(skills): add storyboard-to-animatic guidance to /figma
Field-tested against a real 26-scene storyboard section: the parsing
grammar (frame-sized nodes incl. loose rectangles = scenes, x-order =
time order, TEXT below the strip = director notes paired by x-overlap),
batched still export (chunk ~4 ids per render call - big frames timeout
past ~12), a note-verb -> transition vocabulary (EXPLOSION/SLIDE/MORPH/
CYCLE), and the stills-vs-component routing rule for within-scene motion
notes. Catalog blurbs updated in lockstep.

* feat(skills): storyboard frames are keyframes, not slides
Field-tested against a second real storyboard section: frames sharing an
element (matched by name, else geometry similarity) define that element's
states through time - tween the element between states, crossfade only
when pixels genuinely differ, enter/exit unmatched children, tween frame
backgrounds as a color track. Stills demoted to fallback for frames that
don't decompose. Validated live: a 4-frame logo-rise reconstructed as one
element with four keyframes.

* feat(figma): self-explanatory first-run experience + mintlify guide
- NO_TOKEN/BAD_TOKEN errors now carry the full one-time setup (mint URL,
read-only scope checklist, persist hint) instead of a bare pointer
- figma subcommands print clean guidance on typed client errors, not a
stack trace (shared withFigmaErrors boundary)
- CLI help gains component subcommand, FIRST-TIME SETUP and WHAT TO
EXPECT blocks
- /figma skill: preflight the token before the first CLI call and walk
the user through setup up front; narrate landed-artifact + next action
at every step
- new docs/guides/figma.mdx (setup, per-phase walkthroughs, provenance,
troubleshooting table) wired into docs.json nav

* fix(figma): review fixes — missing withFigmaErrors imports, 401/403 semantics, docs accuracy
- tokens.ts/component.ts called withFigmaErrors without importing it
(tsup doesn't typecheck, so every invocation shipped as an immediate
ReferenceError); imports added, tsc --noEmit now clean
- error boundary widened to all Errors so bad-ref/bad-format input
errors print their message instead of a stack trace
- 401 no longer claims 'missing scopes' (figma signals that as 403);
new FORBIDDEN code maps non-variables 403 to scope/access guidance
- docs: asset/component refs require a node id (bare fileKey is
tokens-only), example snippet matches real output, FORBIDDEN row
- skill: preflight counts a project-.env token as configured (CLI
auto-loads it); BAD_TOKEN/FORBIDDEN guidance split
