* fix(studio): keep a preview reload waiting while a slow project boots
Studio gives a reload up to three 15 s budgets, but the player failed it at
8 s and Studio's own 5 s safety net stopped listening for the runtime. A host
can now own the load deadline (no-load-timeout); script and runtime errors
still fail at once.
* fix(player): send the 8 s load deadline through the probe's one error path
* chore: release v0.8.159
* chore: v0.8.159 notes list the first-frame fix
* chore: v0.8.159 notes list the sandboxed GPU check fix
* chore: v0.8.159 notes list the hidden-scene fix and the offline font test
* chore: release v0.8.154
* ci: give the studio test job fifteen minutes
The queue run installs and builds inside the same ten minute cap.
It was still inside the studio tests when that cap cancelled the job.
* chore: release v0.8.152
* docs(changelog): correct the v0.8.152 release notes
The summary overstated snapshot retention, history turns, and video state.
It also left out the new artifact paths and nullable keyframe times.
* fix(studio): text in Studio reads without em or en dashes
* fix(studio): the dash check also catches HTML entities, and peak reads Unavailable
* test(studio): the dash check test covers every entity form
* fix(studio): messages Studio shows from lint, sdk, core and the renderer drop dashes too
* fix(producer): the gate check stops early on the engine's new fallback wording
* perf(packages): ship npm packages without source maps and guard their size in CI
No package or consumer reads the published source maps, so they are no
longer built. The CLI copies only the studio app it serves instead of the
whole studio dist. verify:packed-manifests now holds every published package
to a size budget that ratchets down, and CI rejects pull requests that add a
large binary outside LFS.
* fix(ci): large-binary check reads every filename and fails on git errors
* ci: run only Build when a skill bundled into the CLI changes
* fix(ci): size guards also catch type changes, odd file names, unreadable blobs and bad budgets
* fix(ci): large-binary check reads blobs by id and skips submodules
* fix(ci): exempt only exact registry copies under docs/public/catalog
* test(ci): cover the staged catalog-copy exemption; drop the local-only override hint in CI
* fix(ci): producer budget follows its slimmed package; size checks name their real cause
* fix(player): render the preview at its shown size so heavy compositions stop dropping layers
* test(player): check a small preview rasters its will-change layers at the shown size
* fix(player): accept device-pixel snapping in the zoom probe
* fix(player): probe the initial frame and preserve editing coordinates
* fix(player): defer every initial source reload until setup
* fix(studio): convert measured frame coordinates once
* test(studio): bank reduced preview opening work
* fix(core): keep centered layers exact when the preview is zoomed
GSAP infers a -50% CSS translate from the rendered pixel matrix. At a
fractional preview zoom that matrix is snapped, so a centered layer lost
its percentage and shifted by half its height after reload, render and
redo. The runtime now restores the authored percentage before GSAP's
first transform parse. Also restores the original thumbnail ceilings.
* test(studio): bank the two resize cases that now pass edit accuracy
resize-scale-px-r30-{root,nested}-z50-after measured 0.53 px tracking on
main and 0.49 px here. Also drops a comment line the runtime name covers.
* fix(core): keep stylesheet-centered layers exact under preview zoom
The centering repair now also reads percentages from a stylesheet
transform (the common translate(-50%, -50%) pattern), runs for every
property that makes GSAP parse a transform (transformOrigin first, too),
resolves against the border box, and leaves elements without a layout
box alone instead of throwing. The browser check now runs zoomed.
* fix(core): restore only centering, the one percentage GSAP infers
GSAP folds every other CSS percentage translate into pixels, and
compositions rely on that (a translateX(-100%) title tweened to x: 0
slides in). The repair now gives back only a -50% that zoom snapping
lost, and treats a size that is not in px (a hidden element sized in
percent) as no box.
* fix(core): restore centering only where GSAP would infer it
A pixel part in the translate means GSAP never infers -50%, so the
repair leaves it alone, and a layer without a layout box is left to
GSAP whatever size its computed style reports (that differs by Chrome
build for hidden percent-sized layers).
* fix(player): fit the preview before the composition starts loading
The zoom was applied on the first resize callback, after the source was
assigned, so a fast-loading composition could run its scripts and lay
out unzoomed and then reflow. Fitting on connect, before any source,
makes the first layout use the preview zoom.
* test(player): pin the first fit before the composition source
* revert(player): drop the zoom fit so the preview keeps the export's layout
CSS zoom shaped text at the zoomed size, so paragraph heights in the
preview differed from the render by up to a line. The transform fit
stays; the centering adapter and zoom-only bench changes go with it.
* fix(core): raster a small preview at the size it is shown
Chromium never rasters a will-change: transform layer below device
scale, so a preview shown at a quarter size rastered every hinted layer
at full size and could run out of tile memory, dropping layers. While
the player shows the composition below 1x, the runtime swaps the hint
for an identity filter, which keeps its stacking context and
containing block; preserve-3d containers keep the hint.
* fix(core): keep a small preview's raster swap out of filters edits can save
The identity filter that replaced will-change: transform showed up in computed filter, so
Studio's blur slider saved it, GSAP filter tweens and clearProps picked it up, and it cut
backdrop-filter off from what is behind it. A far perspective keeps the same stacking context
and containing block, is never composited for flat content, and nothing reads or writes it.
Also: the runtime guard lint (realm-safe element checks), a class change that drops the hint
undoes the swap, and the browser check measures raster scale with the swap off and on at one
shown size and compares frosted glass and 3D pixels.
* fix(core): drop preview raster hints only where nothing depends on them
The perspective that stood in for will-change: transform could still reach a saved project:
Studio records perspective keyframes from GSAP's computed value, and copying a generated
element serialised its inline styles. It also went stale when a parent class or a later
stylesheet changed the element.
Now the runtime writes no inline style. It marks a hinted layer with a preview attribute
and one injected rule sets its will-change to auto. Only layers whose hint changes nothing
are marked: positioned, with no fixed descendants, and no z-indexed or blending descendants
unless the layer has its own z-index. Every class or tree change re-checks the whole page.
Studio strips the mark from copied markup, as it does the other preview marks.
* fix(core): keep raster hints that pseudo-elements, other hints or inline styles need
A layer's ::before or ::after can sit behind it, blend with it or be fixed to it, so those count
like children. A layer that also hints opacity or filter keeps every hint, since those make their
own boundaries. Inline style changes, which scripts make every frame, are watched cheaply: they
only give the hint back to the layers holding an element that now depends on it, or to a layer
that turned static or changed its z-index. Text changes no longer trigger a full pass; a new
stylesheet still does.
* fix(core): re-read a marked layer's own hints and follow any attribute or late sheet
A marked layer now has its mark lifted while its hints are read, so a class or inline value
that adds opacity or filter gives every hint back. Any attribute change re-checks its subtree,
so attribute selectors are followed, and a linked stylesheet re-runs the pass once it loads.
* perf(core): only lift a raster mark on the element that changed
Lifting a mark to read a layer's own hints repaints it, and a change on a scene container lifted
every marked layer under it (about 6 ms and a re-raster per event). Now only the changed element
is lifted, and a full pass clears all marks at once so the page restyles a single time. Tests
cover leaving marked layers alone, ignoring our own marks, and the linked-sheet load pass.
* fix(core): decide raster marks before writing them in a full pass
A full pass re-marked layers one at a time, so each read restyled the page again. Every mark is
now decided first and written after. The browser check holds off the player's own scale
messages while it turns the swap off and on, since a late resize tick could turn it back on.
* test(player): hold the player's own scale while the raster check turns the swap off
Turning the swap off restyles the page, and the player answers by resending its real scale,
which turned the swap back on within milliseconds, so the off half compared the swapped page
with itself. The check now holds the player's sends on the host page, asserts the swap is off
before the native shots, and removes the layers that keep their hint before either trace.
* test(player): give the raster check's 3D probe a solid fill
Stripes a few pixels wide alias differently at each raster scale, so the probe measured texture
resampling rather than the 3D shape it is there for. A solid fill keeps the shape and position.
* fix(studio): keep the preview raster mark out of stacking and saved text edits
Studio's stacking model read a marked layer's will-change as auto, so a timeline drag could
write a z-index that does nothing in the render; a marked element now still counts as a stacking
context. A text edit copied every live attribute but style, so it could save the mark; the
preview-only attributes are now one list, used by both the copy and the text-edit paths.
* fix(core): keep a marked video through a scene swap
The runtime keeps a video across a scene swap only when its live attributes match the fresh
import, and the preview raster mark made them differ, so a hinted video in a small preview was
rebuilt on every edit. The comparison now ignores every preview-only attribute, which also
fixes the same rebuild for data-hf-upcoming. The shared list is renamed PREVIEW_ONLY_ATTRS, and
the lazy-image strip in copied markup gets a test.
* perf(studio): preview decodes hard-to-play videos at the size they are shown
Studio's copy of an HEVC or ProRes clip was made at the source's full size, so a 4K clip was decoded at 4K inside a preview a few hundred pixels wide, and back-to-back 4K clips flashed the background at their cuts. The player now reports how large it shows the composition, the runtime asks for a copy sized to the shown video (on a ladder of sizes, never above the source), and Studio stops pre-warming source-size copies. CLI play, static serving, publish and renders keep the source-size copy.
* fix(studio): sized preview copies follow zoom, hover previews and the newest size
Studio reports the preview's on-screen scale when a zoom settles and for composition hover previews, which no player measures. The runtime loads only the newest size asked for, regrows a first copy made while the frame grew, and never replaces a copy with one smaller on either side. The player's scale is measured against the frame's own layout width.
* fix(studio): keep comment shares and file sizes within the repo ratchets
* test(studio-server): end the sizing test's ffprobe options before its input
* fix(studio): hover previews report their size once their runtime is ready
* perf(core): render a playing frame once when the host also ticks it
* fix(core): reset host tick dedup on playback start
* fix(core): deduplicate host seeks by rendered timeline time
* test(core): advance host tick clocks deterministically
