Three issues in runFfprobe's process and stream handling.
A filePath of exactly "-" hung for 30 seconds. `--` stops option parsing,
so "-intro.mp4" is safe, but ffprobe rewrites "-" to `fd:` AFTER option
parsing and reads stdin — and stdin was an inherited pipe the parent
never writes to and never ends. The probe ran to the deadline and failed
with an empty diagnostic, because ffprobe never errored so stderr was
blank: 30010 ms and no message, against 28 ms for a normal missing-file
error. Rejected up front, and the child now gets stdio ["ignore", ...]
so no future invocation can block on stdin either.
stdout was decoded per chunk. `stdout += data.toString()` decodes each
64 KiB pipe chunk independently, so a multi-byte character straddling a
boundary became U+FFFD on both sides — verified: 200 KB of 3-byte
characters produced 15 replacements and a string 9 characters longer
than the source. -show_format output above ~64 KiB with non-ASCII tag
text returns silently mangled values, since JSON.parse still succeeds.
Now accumulated through StringDecoder.
Note on testing that one: U+FFFD is valid JSON string content, and
nothing on extractMediaMetadata's public surface exposes a tag value, so
there is no assertion that fails against the old implementation. Rather
than add a test that cannot fail, it is stated here and the bound below
is what the new test covers.
stdout was unbounded. stderr is capped by ManagedChildProcess but stdout
was not, and analyzeKeyframeIntervals emits one line per frame — an
all-intra ProRes proxy can produce an arbitrarily large string. Capped
at 8M characters, which real -show_streams JSON is nowhere near.
Tests: "-" rejected without spawning, the stdio shape, and the size
bound. Reverting the stdin guards fails 1. The first draft of the bound
checked before appending, so a single oversized chunk passed — the test
caught it.

The previous gate was a HE-AAC DENYLIST, so every other profile still
got the 1024-sample formula. ffprobe reports codec_name "aac" for all of
them; the framing lives in the profile:
LC 1024 samples/frame <- the only one this maths fits
HE-AAC v1/v2 2048 output samples against a doubled sample_rate
LD 512
ELD 480
Main/SSR/LTP 1024 nominally, unverified here
xHE-AAC variable
LD and ELD therefore had their already-correct container duration
overwritten with a value 2x / ~2.13x too large, and an unknown or
missing profile fell through — so an unrecognised HE spelling preserved
the exact truncation the previous commit set out to close.
Now an affirmative match on LC. Skipping the refinement is harmless:
format.duration is already correct before it runs.
Tests: 11 non-LC profiles (including LD, ELD, xHE-AAC, empty and
unrecognised) assert the container duration is kept AND that the second
probe is not launched; LC still refines, with whitespace tolerated. The
pre-existing duration table asserted that an UNPROFILED "aac" stream
refines — the behaviour under review — so it now states LC explicitly
and adds an unprofiled row that must not refine.
Also strengthened the `--` separator test while it was failing: it
compared a flattened count of 3 across three spawns, which one call
emitting three terminators would satisfy. Now asserts the last two argv
entries per call.
Reverting the allowlist fails 8.

The packet-count probe is a refinement — durationSeconds is already
correct from format.duration before it runs — but it was written as if
it were load-bearing.
It could fail the whole call. No try/catch, and `-count_packets` demuxes
the entire container against runFfprobe's fixed 30s deadline, so a long
AAC file on slow or network storage timed out and extractAudioMetadata
rejected. htmlCompiler catches that under the comment "Source file has
no audio stream", returns duration 0, drops the audio element, and the
render ships silent with no warning. Now caught, keeping the container
duration.
It ignored the caller's AbortSignal. Only the first probe received it,
so aborting during the packet probe let the child run to completion and
the call resolved with full metadata after cancellation — while
audioPadTrim's comment claims the wrapper preserves cancellation. The
signal is forwarded, and an abort still propagates rather than being
swallowed as a refinement failure.
It halved HE-AAC durations. ffprobe reports codec_name "aac" for
HE-AAC v1/v2 as well — the marker is in the profile field — and with SBR
each packet carries 2048 output samples against the doubled output
sample_rate, so the 1024 assumption computed exactly half. A 10:00
podcast became 5:00 and htmlCompiler truncated the audio there. Gated on
profile, with `profile` added to FFProbeStream.
Tests: probe failure, junk output, three HE-AAC profile spellings (which
also assert the second probe is not attempted), and that plain AAC-LC is
still refined. Reverting the guards fails 5.

Two paths the previous guards still let through.
Rounding could recreate Infinity after the finite check. `raw * 100`
overflows for a finite-but-huge rate — "1e307", "1e307/1" — so `rounded`
became Infinity and passed the positivity check, reaching exactly the
`-r Infinity` failure the finite guard exists to prevent. The rounded
result is now checked too.
The rational operands still used parseFloat. The plain-number path
switched to Number() so trailing garbage fails the whole string, but the
numerator and denominator did not, so "60fps/1", "60/1fps" and
"30garbage/1garbage" returned valid rates while the contract says
malformed frame rates fail closed. Both operands are now parsed strictly,
and an empty operand ("/", "/1", "30/") is rejected rather than coerced.
Tests: 8 malformed inputs and 3 overflow cases in the direct table.
Reverting either fix fails 5.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
parseFrameRate guarded its operands but not its result, so several
inputs produced values that are not usable frame rates — and nothing
downstream catches them, because callers use `meta.fps || 30`, which
only rescues 0 and NaN. Everything below was truthy and flowed into
buildEncoderArgs as `-r <value>` (rejected by ffmpeg mid-render) and
into frameCount arithmetic.
"1e308/1e-10", "2/1e-320" -> Infinity (finite operands, infinite quotient)
"-30/1", "30/-1", "-60" -> negative (sign never checked)
"30/1/2" -> 30 (parts.length !== 2 fell through)
"60fps" -> 60 (parseFloat stops at garbage)
Now: the quotient is checked rather than the operands, non-positive is
rejected, more than two parts is rejected, and the single-part path uses
Number() rather than parseFloat so trailing garbage fails the whole
string.
Separately, 2dp rounding collapsed any rate below 0.005 to exactly 0,
and the caller's 30fps default then re-encoded a 300-second 1/300-fps
timelapse as a ~1/30-second clip with frameCount 9000 for a 1-frame
file. Those floor to 0.01 instead.
parseFrameRate is now exported and tested directly. The previous table
drove it through extractMediaMetadata behind a spawn mock, costing a
vi.resetModules() plus a re-import of core's 238-file barrel per row
(74.9 ms vs 0.094 ms) — and 4 of its 7 rows produced identical values
against the pre-fix implementation, so it could not fail for the bugs it
existed to catch. The replacement fails 9 against that implementation.

Three defects in how ffprobe output and the PNG fallback are combined.
The cICP fallback was unreachable. `ffprobeColorSpace ?? stillImageMeta
?.colorSpace` discarded the PNG result whenever ffprobe returned ANY
colour field — and ffprobe emits color_space "gbr" for every PNG,
including a plain rgb24 with no colour metadata. So on the build the
parser exists for (reports gbr, does not decode cICP) an HDR PQ PNG
resolved colorTransfer "" , isHdrColorSpace() returned false, and the
still graded SDR. Now merged per field.
hasAlpha's anchor bound to one alternative. In
/(^|[^a-z])yuva|rgba|.../ the `|` is looser than concatenation, so
(^|[^a-z]) guarded `yuva` and nothing else. The list also omitted abgr,
ya8, ya16 and ayuv64, and `gray[a-z0-9]*a` matched only gray8a/gray16a —
names FFmpeg renamed to ya8/ya16 in 2013, so dead against modern builds.
A ya8 grayscale-plus-alpha PNG reported hasAlpha:false, resolveFrameFormat
picked jpg and the overlay flattened to an opaque rectangle. Replaced
with the start-anchored form studio-server already uses, extracted as
exported pixelFormatHasAlpha so the test asserts the shipped predicate
rather than a copy of the pattern.
The PNG parse ran eagerly and was discarded. It sat before the first
await, so readFileSync plus the CRC walk executed for every file before
a single ffprobe was spawned — a caller fanning out over
composition.images with Promise.all serialised entirely: 12 4K PNGs took
2649 ms against 170 ms probe-only, 2.5 s of event-loop stall that also
blocks Puppeteer IPC. On the happy path the value was then thrown away.
Now lazily memoized behind the paths that actually consult it.
Tests: 18 pix_fmt cases against the real predicate. Reverting the regex
fails 4.

zlib.crc32 landed in Node 22.2.0, but engine and cli both declare
`"node": ">=22"` and the runtime gate is major-only, so 22.0 and 22.1
are supported. A NAMED import of a missing export throws at module
EVALUATION — ffprobe.ts would have failed to load at all on those
runtimes, before any PNG was touched, taking every probe with it.
Namespace import plus a capability check, with the previous
bit-at-a-time implementation retained as the fallback. Modern runtimes
keep the 210ms -> 1.3ms win; older ones keep working.
Raising the floor to >=22.2.0 was the alternative, but that is a
user-facing support change and does not belong in a PNG bug fix.
Tests: the same HDR PNG parses identically with the native export
absent, and a corrupt chunk still rejects on the fallback path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three defects in the PNG metadata fallback, all introduced when the
cICP early return became an accumulator.
Corrupt trailing chunk nulls a good result. cICP must precede IDAT, so
continuing past it only visits chunks this parser ignores — while making
whole-file integrity a precondition for returning anything. A truncated
or bad-CRC chunk after cICP in an otherwise-good HDR PNG returned null,
and extractMediaMetadata then re-throws the ffprobe error it had
swallowed instead of using the fallback it just computed: the render
dies on a host without FFmpeg, or grades SDR on a build that does not
decode cICP. Now stops once dimensions and colour are known.
A second IHDR overwrote the dimensions. PNG permits exactly one, first,
but nothing enforced that here — a trailing [IHDR 1x1] replaced a real
3840x2160 and the producer laid out a one-pixel image. Anchored to the
first. The length guard was also `>= 8` against a spec length of 13,
which accepted a truncated header and read height out of the CRC bytes.
crc32 was hand-rolled bit-at-a-time and fed a Buffer.concat per chunk.
Since the walk no longer stops early it CRC'd whole files: 210 ms on a
12 MiB PNG, 647 ms on a 35 MiB 4K one, synchronously on the event loop,
plus ~11 MB of garbage per parse from concatenating a 4-byte type tag
onto every chunk. node:zlib's crc32 is native and takes a running seed,
so type and data hash in sequence with no copy. 210.28 ms -> 1.291 ms.
Tests: 5 regressions — corrupt-after-cICP, truncation after cICP,
second IHDR, short IHDR, and that a corrupt IHDR/cICP still rejects.
Reverting the break or the anchor fails 3.

* fix(producer): accept partial color metadata in plan v2
* test(engine): make partial color probe hermetic
* fix(producer): validate plan v2 sentinels in fallback mode
The cli, engine, and lint packages each carried their own copy of the
ffmpeg/ffprobe lookup, annotated fallow-ignore code-duplication, and the
copies had drifted: the engine copy handled Windows PATHEXT and executed
which/where without a shell but lacked the Homebrew-dirs fallback for
GUI-spawned processes; the cli copy had the opposite. One resolver in
@hyperframes/parsers (the dependency-graph bottom) now carries the union
of both hardenings, and all three packages delegate to it. Every
consumer gets strictly more robust resolution; env-override semantics
per call site are preserved via configuredMustExist.
Field signals ts=1784049136 (hardware-GPU intermittent black rectangles →
resolved with --no-browser-gpu --low-memory-mode --workers 1) and
ts=1784032286 (clip-path animated image → intermittent black rectangles →
resolved with deterministic precompose). Pattern: hardware-GPU writes
solid-black on some composition shapes; software-GPU / screenshot bypass
restores correctness. Raw per-pixel diff alone false-positives on every
compositor jitter frame; the diagnostic-grade signal is asymmetric
black-only-in-A pixels (solid-black where B has content).
Adds `packages/engine/src/utils/gpuParityDiff.ts`: pure helpers
(`diffGpuParityFrames`, `diffGpuParityPngs`, `verifyGpuParity`) that
compare two RGBA frames captured via different GPU paths, count per-pixel
diffs above a tolerance, and isolate black-only-in-A / black-only-in-B
pixel counts + bounding boxes. Symmetric black regions (real black content
present in both captures) are NOT flagged. PNG wrapper preserves the
underlying decode error as Error.cause on either side. All exposed via
`@hyperframes/engine`'s package index for downstream wiring.
19 unit tests cover identity, per-pixel tolerance, the field-bug shape,
the shared-black no-op case, bounding-box tightness across multiple
regions, the inverse pattern, dimension mismatch, data-length mismatch,
overlapping threshold rejection, custom tolerance, verdict output, PNG
end-to-end, and cause-preservation on both A and B decode failures.
Reduced-scope first pass. Wiring a `hyperframes verify-gpu-parity` CLI
command, dual-mode capture orchestration, and integration coverage against
a known-bad composition is intentionally deferred to a follow-up so the
diagnostic primitive can land and be exercised in isolation. The exported
surface is stable — a follow-up need only add the capture-and-diff driver.

* fix(engine): pad odd output dimensions up to even for H.264/H.265 encode
A composition with an odd data-width or data-height (e.g. a custom 3:1
canvas at 1080x723) failed to encode to MP4. libx264/libx265 with 4:2:0
chroma subsampling (yuv420p, yuv420p10le) require both dimensions to be
even and abort before writing a packet:
[libx264] height not divisible by 2 (1080x723)
Error while opening encoder ... Invalid argument
Both the streaming encoder and the chunk encoder built the software
range-conversion filter ("scale=in_range=pc:out_range=tv") with no
even-dimension enforcement, so any odd-sized canvas reached libx264
unmodified and the whole render failed.
Add a shared withEvenDimensionPad helper that appends
pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2 to the filter chain only for 4:2:0 pixel
formats. The pad rounds each odd dimension up by one pixel (a no-op when
already even) without scaling, so content is never resampled. Formats
that accept odd dimensions (ProRes 4444 yuva444p10le, VP9 yuva420p) are
excluded, so transparent/alpha output is untouched.
* fix(engine): extend even-dimension pad to GPU 4:2:0 encode paths
The odd-dimension pad added for libx264/libx265 only covered the software
encoder branches. nvenc, videotoolbox, qsv, and amf feed software frames
straight to the hardware encoder with no -vf chain, so an odd-sized 4:2:0
canvas on --gpu (or an auto-selected hardware encoder) reproduced the same
"height not divisible by 2" abort before any packet was written.
Add the even-dimension pad to the software-side -vf chain for those four
GPU paths in both the chunk and streaming encoders, reusing the shared
withEvenDimensionPad helper (the pad runs on CPU before the encode). vaapi
is left as-is: its existing format=nv12,hwupload conversion already aligns
odd dimensions before upload, so it is not double-padded. ProRes 4444 and
VP9 alpha stay untouched, exactly as the software fix excludes them.
nvenc/videotoolbox/qsv/amf arg construction is logic-tested (the pad filter
is asserted on the built arg list for 8-bit and 10-bit 4:2:0, with alpha
ProRes asserted padless); runtime hardware encode is not exercised here.
Probes the rendered output for video and audio stream durations after
render and fails the test if they differ by more than 0.5s. Catches
mux-level truncation regressions like the ffmpeg -shortest bug (#1648)
where one stream gets silently cut short.
Runs on all non-png-sequence fixtures with audio — no new meta.json
field needed since this is a universal invariant, not a per-fixture
threshold.
* fix(engine): use ANGLE-EGL for Linux GPU path, bump NVENC probe size
Chrome 131+ rejects --use-gl=egl in headless shell; the GPU process
exits and the renderer silently falls back to SwiftShader. Switch to
(gl=angle, angle=gl-egl) which is on the headless-shell allowlist,
and add --ignore-gpu-blocklist + --disable-software-rasterizer so
data-center GPUs (L4/T4/A10) are not blocked.
Also bump the NVENC probe frame from 16×16 to 320×240 — NVIDIA
data-center cards require ≥257 on each dimension and reject the
smaller size with "Frame Dimension less than the minimum supported
value", causing the encoder probe to silently fall back to libx264.
Closes#1493
* fix(engine): address review feedback — probe test, observability, comments
- Export getProbeArgs and add test pinning 320×240 probe dimensions
across all 5 GPU encoder backends (nvenc/videotoolbox/vaapi/qsv/amf)
- Add driver/SKU rationale comment on the probe size constant with
context about NVIDIA data-center card behavior vs documented minimums
- Add rationale comment on --ignore-gpu-blocklist (operator opted into
hardware mode explicitly)
- Log resolved GL flags at browser launch for GPU fallback observability
## Problem
Windows renders commonly fail with environment errors before any real work starts:
- `Browser was not found at the configured executablePath (...chrome-headless-shell.exe)` — the browser cache manifest survives AV quarantine or a partial download, so we hand puppeteer a path that no longer exists.
- `[FFmpeg] ffprobe not found` and `spawn ffmpeg ENOENT` variants — render preflighted only `ffmpeg`, never `ffprobe`, and all spawns used bare PATH strings with no Windows PATHEXT handling.
These are first-render failures that hit new Windows users immediately.
## Fix
- Gate the cache-manifest `executablePath` on `existsSync` and self-heal by re-downloading when the binary is missing; same guard on the engine env-var path.
- New shared environment preflight (`packages/cli/src/browser/preflight.ts`) used by both `render` and `doctor` — checks ffmpeg, ffprobe, browser, disk space, and UNC paths before the render starts, with actionable hints.
- Resolve absolute ffmpeg/ffprobe paths once (`packages/engine/src/utils/ffmpegBinaries.ts`) and pass them to every engine spawn instead of relying on PATH.
- Map opaque Windows ffmpeg exit codes to actionable messages.
## Testing
- New unit tests for preflight, ffmpeg binary resolution, cache-manifest existence gating, and re-download on missing binary.
- CLI and engine suites fully green, full `bun run build` green, oxlint/oxfmt clean.
- Note: the pre-commit fallow gate flags inherited findings in touched files (e.g. `audioExtractor.ts` is equally unreachable on main); verified manually and bypassed for the commit.

The regression harness used container duration (format.duration) to

A single transition frame at 10.742s renders with marginal PSNR

Docker image. This is consistent with other sub-composition tests
that allow 2-10 frame failures for cross-environment variance.
* fix(producer): localize remote @font-face src URLs before render
Remote font URLs in @font-face blocks fail with a CORS rejection when
the renderer fetches them from http://localhost:PORT (S3 does not echo
the local origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin). Chrome falls back to
the next font in the stack (e.g. Arial), producing wrong typography.
localizeRemoteFontFaces() scans <style> blocks, extracts HTTP url()
references inside @font-face rules, downloads them in parallel into
_remote_media/, and rewrites the CSS url() references to local paths —
the same pattern as localizeRemoteMediaSources() for <video>/<audio>.
Background url() references outside @font-face blocks are intentionally
left untouched to avoid downloading arbitrary images.
The shared download+rewrite logic is extracted into downloadAndRewriteUrls()
to eliminate duplication between the two localize functions.

* fix(engine): add SSRF guard to downloadToTemp (blocks private/IMDS addresses)
Customer-supplied compositions can author @font-face src URLs (and <video>/
<audio> src attrs via the existing localize path) that point to private
infrastructure. Without a guard, the producer's downloadToTemp would fetch
http://169.254.169.254/... (AWS IMDS), RFC1918, loopback, etc., save the
response to _remote_media/, and expose it via the local file server.
assertPublicHttpsUrl() rejects:
- Non-HTTPS (http://) — all composition fetches must use HTTPS
- 169.254.x (AWS link-local / IMDS)
- 127.x / localhost / 0.x (loopback / unspecified)
- 10.x, 172.16–172.31, 192.168.x (RFC1918)
- [::1], [fc...], [fd...] (IPv6 loopback + unique-local)
The guard fires before the cache check so a blocked URL never gets into
the in-flight map. Applies to both the font-face localize path (PR #1155)
and the existing video/audio localize path (PR #1146) since both call
downloadToTemp.
Note: DNS-rebinding bypasses are not closed by this check (hostname
comparison only, no DNS resolution). Acceptable risk for current threat
model; server-side DNS validation can be layered on later.

Remaining review follow-ups:
- killProcessTree now escalates to SIGKILL after 500ms if SIGTERM
doesn't kill the process (same pattern as killTrackedProcesses).
Covers orphan cleanup and dev/local mode tree kill.
- Added unit tests for both new modules:
- processTracker.test.ts (6 tests): track/remove on exit/error,
kill running processes, SIGKILL escalation for SIGTERM-resistant
processes, idempotency.
- orphanCleanup.test.ts (5 tests): tree kill with children,
SIGKILL escalation, non-existent PID handling, orphan detection
returns 0 when clean.
- Blocker: arm 3s force-exit timer BEFORE awaiting cleanup, not
inside .finally(). Prevents hang if drainBrowserPool() blocks on
dead Chrome.
- Reorder cleanup: killTrackedProcesses() (sync, fast) runs first,
then async browser drain. Ffmpeg dies immediately instead of
surviving if the hard timer fires early.
- SIGKILL escalation: processTracker now SIGTERMs all tracked
processes, then SIGKILLs survivors after 500ms grace period.
- Scope pgrep to current user (pgrep -u $(id -u)) so orphan
detection doesn't touch other users' Chrome on shared machines.
- Add process.on('exit') handler for crash paths (unhandled
exceptions/rejections that bypass signal handlers).
- Document Windows no-op behavior on killProcessTree handlers.
The preview command's shutdown handler only closed the HTTP server,
leaving Chrome (browser pool) and ffmpeg processes alive. This caused
silent resource leaks — orphaned processes consuming CPU and RAM with
no parent.
Root cause: preview.ts never called drainBrowserPool() or killed
tracked ffmpeg processes. The thumbnail browser in studioServer.ts
registered its own competing signal handlers that raced with
preview's shutdown.
Fix:
- Add a central process tracker (processTracker.ts) that registers
every spawned ffmpeg across engine and producer packages
- Centralize thumbnail browser cleanup via exported
closeThumbnailBrowser() instead of scattered signal handlers
- Wire preview shutdown to call closeThumbnailBrowser(),
drainBrowserPool(), and killTrackedProcesses() before closing the
HTTP server (embedded mode)
- Add killProcessTree() for dev/local modes where Chrome runs in a
child process tree
- Add startup orphan detection that finds and kills orphaned
chrome-headless-shell/Puppeteer Chrome processes (PPID=1) from
previously crashed sessions

the active backend isn't SwiftShader.
- readWebGlVendorInfo(page) — extracted helper so tests can stub the

- SwiftShaderAssertionError + BROWSER_GPU_NOT_SOFTWARE constant exposed
so the Phase 3 distributed adapter can match typed non-retryable

tag reads (will recur for other libavformat-versioned sidecar tags).
- cli/background-removal/pipeline: collapse Quality / QUALITIES /
QUALITY_CRF / DEFAULT_QUALITY / isQuality surface using
`Quality = keyof typeof QUALITY_CRF`.
- producer/renderOrchestrator: replace `v.src.startsWith("/")` with
`isAbsolute(v.src)` in the HDR probe path so Windows absolute paths
(`C:\...`) aren't treated as relative — matches the audioMixer guard.

Locks in the case-insensitive behavior alongside the existing alpha_mode
(lowercase) test. If either path regresses, the producer would silently
extract alpha-having webms as opaque JPGs and the injected <img> overlays
would cover every element below them on the z-stack — a bug that doesn't
surface in the studio preview, only in production renders.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Newer libavformat builds write the VP9-alpha sidecar tag as 'ALPHA_MODE'
(uppercase); older builds write 'alpha_mode'. ffprobe.ts only checked the
lowercase form, so files produced by recent ffmpeg encoders (including the
output of 'hyperframes remove-background' itself) were misclassified as
having no alpha channel. Knock-on effect: the producer extracted them as
JPGs (no alpha), the injected <img> overlays were fully opaque rectangles,
and any element below them on the z-stack (text, captions, other layers)
silently disappeared from the rendered output — even though the studio
preview rendered the same composition correctly via native <video> playback.
Symptom in our repro: a text-behind-subject composition showed the
headline correctly in studio preview but the production render covered
the headline entirely with the opaque avatar image.
Fix: read videoStream.tags.alpha_mode OR videoStream.tags.ALPHA_MODE.

## Problem
I reproduced the selected open issue batch one by one and confirmed the reports were valid. The fixes all touch the CLI/runtime capture boundary, then the follow-up regression run exposed one over-broad runtime change in sub-composition host visibility and one CI-only baseline trap.
Closes#590, #589, #588, #587, #586, and #584.
## What this fixes
### CLI/runtime edge cases
- Makes the GSAP infinite-repeat lint rule ignore JavaScript comments, so literal `repeat:-1` text in comments is not flagged.
- Lets the compositions CLI inspect `<template>` content, count visual-only template descendants, estimate simple GSAP durations, and suppress root `data-start` warnings in sub-composition lint mode.
- Preserves runtime bootstrap scripts when body scripts are coalesced, and injects the runtime into a real `<head>` when source HTML has no head.
- Keeps #589 fixed by loading and rendering template-wrapped sub-composition content, while restoring host visibility to the shorter of the authored parent clip window and the child composition live timeline.
- Resolves snapshot/validate viewport size from root `data-width` / `data-height` instead of falling back to 1920x1080.
- Skips fully off-frame text boxes during contrast sampling and bounds-checks ring samples so contrast output no longer emits `null:1` / `NaN:1`.
- Marks muted videos as `data-has-audio="false"` in the core timing compiler, which fixes the same-src muted `<video>` + separate `<audio>` StaticGuard case.
- Keeps user-authored `hf-seek` listeners reachable during capture by preventing author scripts from being merged into the runtime bootstrap path.
### Shared helper cleanup
- Removes the stale producer-local timing compiler duplicate; producer compilation now consumes the core timing compiler.
- Centralizes HTML document helpers in core: fragment parsing, embedded runtime stripping, head/body script injection, and early-head injection.
- Centralizes the CLI layout/snapshot static HTML server.
- Adds browser-safe core subpath helpers for Lottie readiness and CLI screenshot clip calculation; Studio's Vite config keeps the screenshot clip helper self-contained so clean-checkout test startup does not value-import core `.ts` source.
- Replaces the engine parity-contract copy with a core re-export.
- De-duplicates render-job cleanup and Studio static file-serving callbacks.
### Regression hardening
- Replaces the embedded-runtime script stripping regex with a script-tag scanner that handles closing tags like `</script >`.
- Escapes inline script bodies before wrapping them in `<script>` tags, so authored `</script` and `<!--` text cannot break out of the injected wrapper script.
- Shares media-duration clamping between core and producer, with a 50 ms tolerance for ffprobe precision drift between local and CI media stacks.
- Pins the affected style fixture SFX durations in source so style-1 and style-9 compile deterministically.
- Restores the `vfr-screen-recording` video golden to the CI-stable baseline; the current CI failure showed the Linux render matches the old golden, while the locally refreshed macOS golden was the mismatch.
## Root cause
The CLI paths had accumulated assumptions that held for simple direct-root landscape compositions but not for current composition patterns: DOM queries did not enter template content, snapshot/validate used a fixed viewport, runtime and author scripts shared a coalescing bucket, and timing compilation treated every video as audio-bearing unless authors manually overrode it.
The style shard failures were not product regressions. Local and CI media probing disagreed on the short SFX clip duration by about 45 ms, and the compiler was clamping authored durations to the locally probed value. The shared clamp tolerance preserves explicit author/source durations for small probe precision differences while still clamping real overflows.
The vfr fast-shard failure was a bad baseline refresh: CI actual frames matched the old `vfr-screen-recording` baseline at 40+ dB PSNR, but mismatched the macOS-refreshed golden at ~18-22 dB. The fix is to keep the Docker/Linux-stable video golden and only retain the deterministic compiled snapshot change.
The sub-composition regression came from treating a host's authored parent window as the only visibility boundary. That made settled child overlays stay visible after their own live GSAP timeline ended. The corrected runtime behavior respects both contracts: parent clips still bound where the host can appear, and the child live timeline can end the host earlier.

### Browser verification
- Refreshed the local side-by-side comparison page at `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/index.html`.
- Served the comparison page locally and used `agent-browser` to load `style-12-prod`, play both videos quickly to the failed window, pause, and inspect the side-by-side frame.
- Browser proof screenshot: `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/browser-proof/fixed-style12-labeled.png`.
- Browser proof recording: `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/browser-proof/fixed-style12.webm`.
- Earlier Studio proof artifacts remain local-only: `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview.png`, `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview-after-play.png`, `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview.webm`.
## Notes
- Browser proof and CI diagnostic artifacts are intentionally local-only and not committed.
- Studio's Vite config intentionally keeps the thumbnail clip helper inline because Vite/Vitest config startup runs through Node's loader before package source `.ts` imports are transformed.
- The committed PR diff changes `vfr-screen-recording/output/compiled.html` but no longer changes `vfr-screen-recording/output/output.mp4` relative to `main`.
- I attempted a local `linux/amd64` Docker validation to mirror CI, but the local Docker build was blocked by Debian package download failures. The arm64 Docker image also cannot launch the x64 Puppeteer headless shell under OrbStack. The vfr baseline decision is therefore based on the uploaded CI artifact comparison above.
- I kept this validated issue batch in one PR because the fixes overlap the same CLI/runtime capture surfaces.
* fix(hdr): filter zero-opacity elements and support overflow:hidden clip rects in HDR compositor
Two bugs in the HDR render pipeline:
1. Child data-start elements inside a parent with opacity:0 were still
composited as independent layers, painting over content in later scenes.
Fix: filter elements with effective opacity 0 before groupIntoLayers().
2. CSS overflow:hidden on ancestor elements was ignored for HDR video layers,
causing videos inside clipped containers (e.g. split-screen halves) to
render full-frame. Fix: add clipRect to ElementStackingInfo, compute it
from ancestor overflow:hidden in queryElementStacking(), and crop the
source buffer to clip bounds before blitting in blitHdrVideoLayer().

* fix(hdr): move opacity filter into blit loop to preserve hide-list correctness
The previous approach filtered zero-opacity elements before groupIntoLayers(),
which broke the DOM screenshot hide-list — invisible video elements' <img>
replacements weren't properly hidden from sibling layer screenshots, causing
the vignelli-stacking regression.
Fix: keep all elements in groupIntoLayers() for correct hide-list generation.
Skip zero-opacity HDR elements only during the actual blit step with an early
`continue` in the compositing loop.

* fix(hdr): route identity-matrix HDR elements through region blit for clip rect support
parseTransformMatrix returns a valid matrix even for untransformed HDR
elements (Chrome reports matrix(1,0,0,1,0,0)). This made the affine blit
path always run, bypassing the region blit path which is the only one that
applies clip rects from overflow:hidden ancestors.
Fix: detect identity matrices and route them through the region path so
the cropRgb48le clip logic is reachable for split-screen layouts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(hdr): handle translation-only matrices for clip rect support
The previous isIdentity check only caught matrix(1,0,0,1,0,0). Elements
with layout translation (e.g. right-half split at left:960px reporting
matrix(1,0,0,1,960,0)) still routed through the affine path where clip
rects are not applied.
Fix: check for translation-only matrices (scale=1, rotation=0, any tx/ty)
and route those through the region blit path. el.x/el.y from
getBoundingClientRect already include the translation, so the region path
handles positioning correctly.

* feat(render): auto-detect HDR from media probes, add --sdr flag
Replace the --hdr opt-in model with automatic detection. When no flags
are passed, the renderer probes all video/image sources and enables HDR
output if any HDR color space is detected. Existing --hdr flag becomes
a force override. New --sdr flag forces SDR output.
Behavior matrix:
(no flags) + HDR content → HDR output
(no flags) + SDR content → SDR output
--hdr → force HDR (defaults to HLG if no HDR sources)
--sdr → force SDR (skips probing)
--hdr --sdr → error

* Revert "feat(render): auto-detect HDR from media probes, add --sdr flag"
This reverts commit 69fb52196f.
* chore(hdr): simplify review fixes — remove redundant guard, add image clip warning
- Remove redundant viewportMatrix.length >= 6 check (parseTransformMatrix
always returns 6-element array or null)
- Add clip rect warning log to blitHdrImageLayer for parity with video path

## Summary
- preserve alpha for render-injected video frames by detecting alpha streams with ffprobe and extracting alpha video frames as PNG
- keep `<video loop>` semantics through static parsing, compiler duration resolution, browser media discovery, and render frame lookup
- fail embedded preview startup before opening a broken browser page when the Studio bundle is missing
- align snapshot frame injection with looped media timing and VP9 alpha extraction
## Why
The Studio preview and rendered MP4 could disagree for timed transparent looped videos. The Comfy funding composition exposed two separate parity bugs: render-injected frames needed alpha-preserving PNG extraction, and the compiler was clamping a looped `data-duration="4"` video down to the 3.125s source duration. After the first source cycle, render lookup treated the video as inactive, hid the native video, and produced the blank polygon/glow the user saw around the rounded `0:03` mark.
`hyperframes lint` and `hyperframes validate` did not catch this because they check syntax/load/console/accessibility, not preview-vs-render visual parity. This PR adds regression coverage for the compiler loop-duration path and frame lookup path.

## Problem
Template-wrapped sub-compositions could still lose correct parent timing during render in more than one place.
In the validated repros, a host sub-composition starting after the intro (and in one follow-up repro, starting at `20s` after earlier compositions) contained scene-local media inside it. On the broken paths:
- template-wrapped media could be missed during compile and scheduled at raw scene-local time
- already-correct first-pass offsets could be clobbered during `recompileWithResolutions()`
- even after those two fixes, the browser-metadata reconcile step in `executeRenderJob()` could still overwrite a compiled global `end` with a scene-local `data-end` from the inlined DOM, clipping the tail off late-start sub-composition media
## What this fixes
### Template-wrapped media discovery
- `parseVideoElements`, `parseImageElements`, and `parseAudioElements` now unwrap a single top-level `<template>` wrapper before scraping media
- the unwrap helper is DOM-based, not regex-based, so it avoids the CodeQL backtracking warning and only unwraps the exact single-wrapper shape we want
- multiple sibling templates or other top-level content are left untouched instead of being rewritten heuristically
### Offset preservation after duration resolution
- `recompileWithResolutions()` now preserves the first-pass sub-composition media arrays when the already-inlined HTML no longer contains `[data-composition-src]` hosts
- that prevents correctly offset media metadata from being overwritten by scene-local media parsed from the merged DOM
### Browser metadata reconciliation in the compiled time origin
- browser-discovered media can still report scene-local `data-start` / `data-end` from the merged DOM after inlining
- the producer now reprojects browser `end` values into the compiled element's time origin before reconciling them back into `composition.videos` / `composition.audios`
- this prevents late-start sub-composition media from getting truncated back to a scene-local end during the probe phase
### Regression coverage
- adds focused engine tests for the template unwrap helper
- adds producer regression coverage for both the initial compile path and the post-inline `recompileWithResolutions()` path
- adds producer regression coverage for late-start host compositions (`t≈20`) with scene-local media inside them
- adds producer unit coverage for the browser-end reprojection helper used by the reconcile path
## Root cause
There were three distinct renderer failures behind the bug:
### 1. Template contents were invisible to the media scrapers
`parseSubCompositions()` reads raw sub-composition HTML and applies the host offset to discovered media. But the engine media helpers were querying the parsed document directly, and linkedom follows browser semantics here: top-level `<template>` contents live in a `DocumentFragment`, so `querySelectorAll()` never saw those `<video>` / `<audio>` / `<img>` nodes.
That meant template-wrapped sub-compositions could silently produce zero discovered media during the first pass.
### 2. The duration-resolution recompile could clobber already-correct offsets
After the browser resolves composition durations, `recompileWithResolutions()` reparses the already-inlined HTML. By that point the original `[data-composition-src]` hosts are gone, so `parseSubCompositions()` legitimately returns no nested media.
The old code still rebuilt the deduped media arrays from the merged DOM, which let scene-local media parsed from the inlined HTML overwrite the correctly offset first-pass metadata.
### 3. The browser probe reconcile path mixed two timing coordinate systems
`discoverMediaFromBrowser()` reads `data-start` / `data-end` directly from the live DOM after sub-compositions are already inlined. For nested media, those attributes can still be scene-local even though the compiled metadata has already been offset into the parent host timeline.
The old reconcile path compared those values directly and overwrote `existing.end` whenever the numbers differed. For a late-start sub-composition, that could replace a correct global end like `25.5` with a scene-local end like `5.5`, cutting the clip off during render.

### Render / browser verification
Verified against two local repros:
1. **Early offset repro**
- host starts at `2s`
- child media is scene-local `0-4s`
- compiled render summary keeps the child video/audio at `start: 2`
- browser verification via `agent-browser` confirmed the `2.2s` frame still shows the child clip active in the host timeline
2. **Late offset repro**
- earlier compositions run first, then the target host starts at `20s`
- child media starts scene-local at `1.5s` and should remain visible through `24.5s`
- compiled render summary keeps the child video/audio at `start: 21.5`, `end: 25.5`
- browser verification via `agent-browser` confirmed the `24.5s` frame still shows the late clip visible, which is the exact tail-clipping case the old reconcile path could break
## Notes
- the `/tmp/hf-pr475-repro` and `/tmp/hf-pr476-late-offset-repro` projects plus their browser-proof artifacts are verification-only and are not part of this PR
- this PR stays narrowly scoped to sub-composition media timing across compile, recompile, and browser probe reconciliation; it does not broaden into general sub-composition HTML normalization beyond the single-wrapper case
