* fix(engine): suppress benign AbortError spam from frame-capture pageerror
Frame capture pauses → seeks → screenshots → plays audio/video many times
per second. HTMLMediaElement.play() returns a promise that rejects with
AbortError whenever another pause() lands before it resolves — which it
does, every frame. The rejection is benign (output frames and mixed
audio are unaffected) but the frameCapture pageerror handler was logging
it to stderr, producing dozens of identical lines per render:
[Browser:PAGEERROR] AbortError: The play() request was interrupted by
a call to pause(). https://goo.gl/LdLk22
Filter out exactly this pattern before console.error — still pushed to
browserConsoleBuffer so it's available in the failure-diagnostic dump.
* fix(engine): trim play-abort filter comment and drop unnecessary regex flags
The why-it-exists explanation belongs in the commit message and PR
description, not as a 12-line comment block at the call site.
Chrome's play()/pause() AbortError message is always lowercase, so
the case-insensitive flag implies uncertainty that doesn't exist.
Replace the two /play\(\)/i and /pause\(\)/i regexes with plain
String.prototype.includes — same outcome, less ceremony.
## 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
## Summary
Document why the `window.__name` polyfill in `frameCapture.ts` is necessary, expand the inline comment with the full per-runtime matrix, and add a regression test that surfaces transpiler behavior on the next failure.
Outcome of the Chunk 12 investigation: **keep the polyfill**.
## Why
`Chunk 12` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The polyfill had a vague comment and no test, so it was unclear whether it was still needed or could be deleted.
## Empirical findings
Probe in `/tmp/hf-name-probe`:
| Runtime / build | Injects `__name(fn, "name")` wrappers in `Function.prototype.toString()`? |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `bun` (TS loader) | No — verified for top-level and nested named functions / arrow expressions. |
| `tsx` (esbuild loader, `keepNames=true`) | **Yes** for nested named functions / arrows; observed crash mode in dev/test. |
| `tsc` (`noEmit` and emit) | No — does not inject the helper. |
| `tsup` for `@hyperframes/cli` (`noExternal: ["@hyperframes/engine"]`) | Polyfill *definition* is bundled, but `__name(...)` *call sites* are absent in `packages/cli/dist/cli.js` (grepped). |
**Root cause.** `@hyperframes/engine`'s `package.json` exports raw TypeScript (`main`/`exports` → `./src/index.ts`), so every consumer's transpiler decides whether to inject `__name`. Anything that runs through `tsx` (producer parity-harness, ad-hoc dev scripts, `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test` via Vitest's loader) will serialize wrapped function bodies into `page.evaluate(...)` and crash with `ReferenceError: __name is not defined`.
**Decision.** Keep the no-op `window.__name` shim. Cost is one `evaluateOnNewDocument` call. The alternative (rewriting every `page.evaluate(fn)` site to `page.addScriptTag({ content: "..." })`, like `packages/cli/src/commands/contrast-audit.browser.js` already does) is far more invasive and easy to regress.
## What changed
- Expanded the inline comment in `packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture.ts` to explain the per-runtime matrix above and point to the script-tag alternative.
- New `packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture-namePolyfill.test.ts` — a pure unit test (matches the rest of the engine package's no-browser-launch convention) that:
1. Asserts the polyfill is wired up via `evaluateOnNewDocument` and runs before the first awaited `browser.version()` call.
2. Probes the active Vitest transpiler for `__name(...)` injection so the next maintainer can see at a glance whether the upstream behavior has shifted.
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test` → 408/408 pass (3 new tests in this file).
- [x] `bunx tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean.
- [x] `bunx oxlint` and `bunx oxfmt --check` clean on edited files.
## Stack
Chunk 12 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Independent of all other chunks; closes out the investigation item.
## What
Adds a content-addressed cache for extracted video frames, keyed on the tuple `(path, mtime, size, mediaStart, duration, fps, format)`. Repeat renders of the same composition (studio edit → re-render, preview → final) skip the ffmpeg extraction entirely.
## Why
Video frame extraction is the dominant non-capture phase for video-heavy compositions. Studio iteration workflows extract the same frames over and over — each render burns ffmpeg time that adds no value.
Validated on `/tmp/hf-fixtures/cfr-sdr-cache`:
```
Cold (miss): extractMs=69, videoExtractMs=70, totalElapsedMs=2052
Warm (hit): extractMs=1, videoExtractMs=2, totalElapsedMs=1964
cacheHits: 0→1, cacheMisses: 1→0
```
The fixture is tiny (3s CFR SDR @ 30fps), so the wall-clock delta is small; the extraction-time delta (69→1ms, 98%) scales linearly with source length. For heavy-iteration workflows (a user rendering the same composition while tuning encoding params), extraction time goes to zero on every repeat render.
Depends on #444 (instrumentation surface) and #445 (segment-scope HDR preflight — otherwise cache keys would be unstable across renders on mixed-HDR compositions).
## How
- New `packages/engine/src/services/extractionCache.ts`:
- SHA-256 key over a stable JSON encoding of `(path, mtime_ms, size, mediaStart, duration, fps, format)`. Infinity duration is normalized to `-1` so unresolved natural-duration sources still produce stable keys.
- Truncates to 16 hex chars in the entry directory name — 64 bits of entropy is plenty at cache scale and keeps `ls` output short.
- `hfcache-v2-` schema prefix — bumping it invalidates old entries (callers own gc policy; the cache owns keys).
- `.hf-complete` dotfile sentinel. An entry dir without the sentinel is treated as a miss (covers crash-mid-extract and abandoned writes); the next render re-extracts over the partial frames with `-y`.
- `FRAME_FILENAME_PREFIX = "frame_"` shared with the extractor — future refactors only need to touch one place to rename frames.
- `EngineConfig.extractCacheDir` (env: `HYPERFRAMES_EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR`) gates the feature. Undefined disables caching — extraction runs into the render's workDir and cleanup removes it on render end, preserving the prior behaviour exactly. No default root is chosen by the engine; the caller (CLI, app, studio) owns the location policy.
- `ExtractedFrames.ownedByLookup` flag prevents `FrameLookupTable.cleanup` from rm'ing a shared cache dir at render end. Set to `true` on both hits and misses (misses own the directory they wrote into, but hand it over to the cache rather than deleting it).
- Phase 3 extractor flow:
1. Snapshot `(videoPath, mediaStart, start, end)` per resolved video BEFORE Phase 2a/2b preflight mutates them — so cache keys are stable across renders that use workDir-local normalized files (those files have fresh mtimes every render).
2. Compute key, `lookupCacheEntry`.
3. On hit: rebuild `ExtractedFrames` from the cache dir plus the Phase 2-probed `VideoMetadata` — no re-ffprobe.
4. On miss: `ensureCacheEntryDir`, extract with `extractVideoFramesRange(..., outputDirOverride)`, then `markCacheEntryComplete` (the sentinel write is the last step so a crash leaves the dir un-sentineled).
- `extractVideoFramesRange` gains an `outputDirOverride` parameter so cache-miss writes land directly in the keyed dir (no `join(outputDir, videoId)` wrapping).
## Test plan
- [x] 19 unit tests in `extractionCache.test.ts` covering key determinism, mtime/size invalidation, format/fps/mediaStart/duration invalidation, Infinity normalization, sentinel semantics, missing-file tolerance
- [x] 2 integration tests in `videoFrameExtractor.test.ts`:
- "reuses extracted frames on a warm cache hit" — asserts `cacheHits=1`, `extractMs<50ms` on second call against a CFR SDR fixture
- "invalidates the cache when fps changes" — different fps on second call forces a new miss
- [x] End-to-end validation with `HYPERFRAMES_EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR` set, two runs of the same fixture
- [x] Lint + format (oxlint + oxfmt)
- [x] Typecheck (engine + producer)
## What
Scopes the SDR→HDR preflight re-encode to the segment the composition actually uses, mirroring the existing VFR→CFR segment-scope fix.
## Why
`convertSdrToHdr` was re-encoding entire source files, so a 30-minute SDR screen recording contributing a 2-second clip in a mixed HDR/SDR composition ate multi-second preflight time that produced frames no one would ever read. Validated on a mixed 30s-SDR + 2s-HDR fixture: `hdrPreflightMs` drops **87%** (1162→148ms), `videoExtractMs` drops **82%** (1272→231ms), `tmpPeakBytes` drops **45%** (8.2MB→4.5MB).
Depends on #444 (phase-level instrumentation) for the measurement surface.
## How
- `convertSdrToHdr` gains `startTime` and `duration` parameters ahead of the upstream `targetTransfer` arg added by #370. New signature: `convertSdrToHdr(input, output, startTime, duration, targetTransfer, signal, config)`. `-ss $start -t $duration` is added to the ffmpeg args.
- Phase 2 now captures the full `VideoMetadata` per `resolvedVideos` entry (previously just `colorSpace`) so the caller can compute `segDuration` from `video.end - video.start` with a fallback to `metadata.durationSeconds - video.mediaStart` for unbounded (Infinity) clips — without firing another ffprobe.
- After a successful convert, `entry.video.mediaStart` is zeroed out via shallow-copy (doesn't mutate the caller's `VideoElement`) so downstream extraction seeks from 0 instead of the original offset. Mirrors what the VFR→CFR path already does.
## Test plan
Validation on `/tmp/hf-fixtures/hdr-sdr-mixed-scope`:
```
hdrPreflightMs: >1000 → 150 (gate: <300) ✓
videoExtractMs: 1272 → 237 (-82%)
tmpPeakBytes: 8.2MB → 4.5MB (-45%)
```
- [x] Unit test: new regression test synthesizes 10s SDR + 2s HDR fixture inline and asserts the converted file's duration matches the 2s used segment (pre-fix matched the 10s source)
- [x] Lint + format
- [x] Typecheck
- [x] Manual perf validation against synthesized fixture
## What
Adds per-phase timings and counters to `extractAllVideoFrames` and surfaces them on the producer's `RenderPerfSummary` as `videoExtractBreakdown` alongside a new `tmpPeakBytes` workDir size sample.
## Why
Phase 2 video extraction has five distinct sub-phases (resolve, HDR probe, HDR preflight, VFR probe, VFR preflight, per-video extract) and today they collapse into a single `videoExtractMs` stage timing. That makes every subsequent perf PR in this stack immeasurable — you can't tell whether a win came from cache hits, preflight scope reduction, or pure extraction speed.
This PR is foundational for PR #445 (segment-scope HDR preflight) and PR #446 (content-addressed extraction cache).
## How
- New `ExtractionPhaseBreakdown` type with `resolveMs`, `hdrProbeMs`, `hdrPreflightMs/Count`, `vfrProbeMs`, `vfrPreflightMs/Count`, `extractMs`, `cacheHits`, `cacheMisses`. Populated inline with `Date.now()` wrappers — overhead is sub-millisecond on every phase.
- Returned on `ExtractionResult.phaseBreakdown`.
- Producer extends `RenderPerfSummary` with `videoExtractBreakdown?: ExtractionPhaseBreakdown` and `tmpPeakBytes?: number`. `tmpPeakBytes` is sampled from the workDir right before cleanup via a new recursive-size helper that swallows errors (purely observational — a missing workDir must never fail the render).
No changes to the capture-lifecycle resource tracking — earlier versions of this instrumentation plumbed injector LRU stats through `RenderOrchestrator`, which conflicted hard with upstream #371 (`buildHdrCaptureOptions` refactor). Dropped that piece for a marginal observability loss.
## Test plan
Validation on `packages/producer/tests/vfr-screen-recording`:
```json
"videoExtractBreakdown": {
"resolveMs": 0, "hdrProbeMs": 0, "hdrPreflightMs": 0, "hdrPreflightCount": 0,
"vfrProbeMs": 0, "vfrPreflightMs": 166, "vfrPreflightCount": 1,
"extractMs": 97, "cacheHits": 0, "cacheMisses": 0
},
"tmpPeakBytes": 4578598
```
Total elapsed within noise of pre-PR baseline (2665 → 2673 → 3228ms across hosts).
- [x] Unit test: phase-breakdown assertion added to `videoFrameExtractor.test.ts`
- [x] Lint + format (oxlint + oxfmt)
- [x] Typecheck (engine + producer)
- [x] Manual perf validation against VFR fixture
## Summary
Extract the `frameDirMaxIndexCache` from a private module-scoped Map inside `renderOrchestrator.ts` into its own `frameDirCache.ts` module, then add a 11-test bun:test suite that pins the cross-job isolation contract added in Chunk 5B.
## Why
`Chunk 9E` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The cache lived as a private Map inside `renderOrchestrator.ts`, which made the cross-job isolation contract from Chunk 5B impossible to unit-test directly. Extracting it both makes the contract testable and reduces orchestrator complexity slightly.
## What changed
- New `packages/producer/src/services/frameDirCache.ts` exposes `getMaxFrameIndex` / `clearMaxFrameIndex` / `getMaxFrameIndexCacheSize` (plus a test-only `__resetMaxFrameIndexCacheForTests` helper). Behavior is unchanged: callers still get the same module-scoped sharing inside a job, and `renderOrchestrator`'s outer `finally` still clears every entry it registered so the cache cannot grow monotonically across renders.
- `renderOrchestrator.ts`: imports the new helpers, drops the unused `readdirSync` import, updates inline comments, and replaces two `frameDirMaxIndexCache.delete` sites with `clearMaxFrameIndex`.
- New `frameDirCache.test.ts` (bun:test, 11 tests) covering:
- Reading the max index from a populated directory.
- Ignoring filenames that don't match `frame_NNNN.png` (wrong ext, wrong prefix, wrong case, double extension, empty index group, same-named subdirectory).
- Empty- and missing-directory paths returning `0` and being cached.
- Intra-job invariant: subsequent readdir mutations not observed once cached.
- `clearMaxFrameIndex` forcing a re-read; returns `false` for paths that were never cached.
- Per-directory isolation when multiple directories are registered.
- The cross-job contract from Chunk 5B: cache empty between well-behaved jobs, doesn't grow monotonically across 20 simulated renders with 3 HDR videos each (steady-state cache size stays at 3), and a buggy job that forgets to clear leaks exactly its own entries rather than affecting unrelated jobs.
## Test plan
- [x] `frameDirCache.test.ts` 11/11 pass.
- [x] Existing producer tests unchanged.
- [x] Behavior preserved: same module-scoped sharing inside a job, same outer-`finally` eviction.
## Stack
Chunk 9E of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Test-driven extraction; complements Chunk 5B.
## Summary
Add unit tests that mock `child_process.spawn` to drive an in-memory "ffmpeg" through the success/failure paths used by the producer's HDR encoder and by Chunk 5A's defensive `close()` in `renderOrchestrator`.
## Why
`Chunk 9D` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The contracts the orchestrator's try/finally cleanup (Chunk 5A) and the abort path rely on were entirely uncovered. A regression in `spawnStreamingEncoder`'s lifecycle handling would surface as a leaked ffmpeg process or a hung render, both of which are hard to diagnose after the fact.
## What changed
`packages/engine/src/services/streamingEncoder.test.ts`: 7 new specs covering:
- Successful exit after explicit `close()`.
- Non-zero exit before `close()` returns a failure result (no throw).
- `ENOENT` on spawn returns a failure result (no throw).
- Abort signal triggers `SIGTERM` and a `"cancelled"` result.
- `close()` is idempotent and never throws on a second call.
- `writeFrame` returns `false` after the encoder has exited.
- `close()` detaches the abort listener so post-close aborts don't re-kill ffmpeg.
These contracts are what the `renderOrchestrator` try/finally cleanup added in Chunk 5A relies on, and what the ffprobe-unavailable test (Chunk 9B) hinted at for the encoder side.
## Test plan
- [x] All new specs pass.
- [x] No production code changes — pure regression coverage of existing lifecycle behavior.
## Stack
Chunk 9D of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Test-only change, complements Chunk 5A.
Guard buildHyperframesRuntimeScript() against missing entry.ts so it
returns null instead of crashing with esbuild stderr output. Add
getHyperframeRuntimeScript() that returns the pre-built IIFE as a
baked-in string constant — no esbuild, no file I/O, no import.meta.url.
Consolidate CLI runtime source resolution into a single module with
a clear priority chain: esbuild from source (dev) → inlined constant
(production) → pre-built artifact file (fallback).
Add CI smoke test that npm-packs the CLI, installs globally, runs
hyperframes preview, and asserts no stderr errors + runtime endpoint
returns JS.
Bump version to 0.4.16.
* fix(cli): resolve runtime fallback for globally-installed hyperframes
When hyperframes is installed globally via npm, the `loadRuntimeSourceFallback()`
path that dynamically imports @hyperframes/core and runs esbuild fails because
@hyperframes/core is inlined into cli.js and import.meta.url resolves to the
wrong location for the entry.ts source file.
Add a disk-based fallback that searches for the pre-built IIFE runtime artifact
in multiple locations:
- Alongside the bundled CLI (dist/hyperframe-runtime.js, dist/hyperframe.runtime.iife.js)
- Walking up from __dirname through node_modules
The esbuild path is tried first to preserve live-rebuild behavior in dev,
with the pre-built artifact search as a safety net for the bundled context.
Also adds the IIFE artifact name variant to resolveRuntimePath() in the
studio server so it checks both naming conventions.
* fix(cli): gate esbuild fallback on source availability
The previous fix still triggered esbuild's stderr output before the
catch could suppress it. Now check whether the runtime entry.ts source
file actually exists before attempting the on-the-fly build, avoiding
the noisy error in global installs entirely.
* fix(cli): remove noisy console.warn from runtime fallback
The caller already handles a null return — no need to warn about
something the user can't act on. If both paths fail, the /api/runtime.js
route returns a 404 which the studio handles gracefully.
* style(engine): fix oxfmt trailing blank line in chunkEncoder test
* fix(cli): guard against null/undefined from loadHyperframeRuntimeSource
Fall through to the pre-built artifact if the function returns a
falsy value without throwing.
* refactor(cli): consolidate runtime source resolution into single module
Replace the scattered path-probing logic with a single loadRuntimeSource()
that encodes the full priority chain: esbuild from source (dev only,
gated on entry.ts existence) → pre-built artifact alongside cli.js →
core/dist artifact → node_modules walk.
Rename loadRuntimeSourceFallback → loadRuntimeSource since it's now
the primary resolution function, not a fallback.
## Summary
Mock `node:child_process.spawn` to surface `ENOENT` and verify ffprobe's three callers behave correctly when ffprobe is missing.
## Why
`Chunk 9B` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The PNG cICP fallback in `extractMediaMetadata` was added to support environments without ffprobe, but no test pinned the behavior — silently regressing it would break HDR image support on any system without ffprobe installed.
## What changed
`packages/engine/src/utils/ffprobe.test.ts`: mocks `child_process.spawn` to surface `ENOENT` and asserts:
- `extractMediaMetadata` falls back to PNG cICP metadata for image inputs.
- `extractMediaMetadata` rethrows for non-image inputs lacking a still-image fallback.
- `extractAudioMetadata` + `analyzeKeyframeIntervals` propagate the install-hint error verbatim.
## Test plan
- [x] All new tests pass.
- [x] No production code changes — pure regression coverage of existing fallback behavior.
## Stack
Chunk 9B of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Test-only change, independent of all other chunks.
## Summary
Add four midpoint (`p=0.5`) regression invariants applied via a `describe` loop over `ALL_SHADERS`, so every existing and future shader transition automatically gets coverage at the most viewer-visible point in the animation.
## Why
`Chunk 9G` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Existing smoke tests cover only the endpoints (`p=0 ≈ from`, `p=1 ≈ to`), which miss a class of regressions that surface specifically at the midpoint and let shaders silently rot in CI:
- A shader becomes a no-op (returns input as-is)
- A shader prematurely completes (returns target at midpoint)
- A shader doesn't write to the output buffer at all
- A shader loses determinism (`Math.random` / `Date.now` / leaked state)
## What changed
`packages/engine/src/utils/shaderTransitions.test.ts`: a single `describe` loop over `ALL_SHADERS` that asserts at `p=0.5`:
1. `output ≠ from` — catches no-ops
2. `output ≠ to` — catches premature completion
3. `output` is non-zero — catches blank output
4. `output` is deterministic — catches accidental non-determinism
Uses two distinct uniform input colors (40000/30000/20000 vs 10000/10000/10000) so equality checks have distinct byte patterns to compare against. Even shaders that warp UVs (which would be no-ops on uniform input alone) produce `mix16(from, to, 0.5)` at every pixel, distinct from both inputs.
## Test plan
- [x] 60 new tests (4 invariants × 15 shaders), all passing.

## Summary
Add a 12-row reference table covering the full sRGB range with byte-exact 16-bit HLG and PQ signal values, plus three guard tests, locking down the `buildSrgbToHdrLut()` math.
## Why
`Chunk 9F` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The matrix-free fast path through `blitRgba8OverRgb48le` runs every DOM pixel through `buildSrgbToHdrLut()` (sRGB EOTF → linear → HDR OETF → 16-bit). Any drift in the EOTF/OETF math — constant changes, branch swaps, rounding-mode regressions — would silently corrupt every text / UI / overlay pixel composited onto an HDR frame.
Existing tests covered structural invariants (transparent passthrough, opaque overwrite, alpha blending, channel symmetry, HLG ≠ PQ) but no byte-exact reference values, so a uniform scale or constant tweak could pass everything.
## What changed
- 12-row reference table in `alphaBlit.test.ts` covering black, shadow, mid-grays, highlight, near-white, and white with exact 16-bit HLG and PQ signal values.
- Three guard tests:
- **Asymmetric R/G/B (HLG):** each channel hits the LUT independently.
- **Asymmetric R/G/B (PQ):** same, on the PQ path.
- **BT.2408 SDR-white invariant:** PQ caps sRGB 255 at 38055 (~203 nits), well below HLG's 65535. This is the load-bearing detail that makes PQ headroom work — locking the exact value prevents a future "fix" that would re-scale PQ to peak-at-SDR-white and clip every real HDR pixel.
Reference values mirror `buildSrgbToHdrLut()` exactly and were verified against the existing HLG mid-gray comment in the file.
## Test plan
- [x] All new tests pass against the current LUT.
- [x] Existing `alphaBlit.test.ts` invariants unchanged.

## Summary
Track `tests/*/src/*.png` via Git LFS to mirror the existing policy for golden videos and `.mp4` fixtures.
## Why
`Chunk 11C` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Without this rule, regression suites that grow PNG fixtures over time would bloat the working-tree history and slow shallow clones.
## What changed
- `.gitattributes`: add `tests/*/src/*.png` to the LFS-tracked patterns.
- Migrates the six existing PNG fixtures (1.6 MB combined: `hdr-photo-pq.png` plus `heygen-promo-preview-assets/` screenshots) onto LFS in the same commit so the rule applies retroactively.
## Test plan
- [x] `git lfs ls-files` includes the HDR PNG fixtures after commit.
- [x] Working tree size for these files goes from 1.6 MB to 6 × ~130 B LFS pointers.
## Stack
Chunk 11C of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Independent of all code changes.
hevc_nvenc uses the same p1..p7 preset vocabulary as h264_nvenc, so the
mapping in `mapPresetForGpuEncoder` applies to both codecs. The initial
regression suite only covered `codec: "h264"`, which left a gap: a
future refactor that split the H.264 and H.265 NVENC paths could
silently regress one codec without any test catching it.
Add three-case loops (ultrafast → p1, medium → p4, veryslow → p7) under
`codec: "h265"` to both `buildEncoderArgs` and `buildStreamingArgs`
test blocks. Each case also asserts that `-c:v hevc_nvenc` is selected
so the test fails loudly if the codec plumbing is broken, not just the
preset translation.
Follow-up to #442 per review comment from @jrusso1020.

NVENC rejects the libx264 preset vocabulary (ultrafast / medium / slow /
...) with AVERROR(EINVAL) ("Error applying encoder options: Invalid
argument"), which surfaces as a bare `FFmpeg exited with code -22` from
spawn(). Because ENCODER_PRESETS passes these names straight through to
h264_nvenc / hevc_nvenc, every `--gpu` render using the `draft` tier
failed; `standard` (medium) and `high` (slow) only worked coincidentally
on ffmpeg builds that happened to accept those aliases. QSV has the same
problem on a narrower set (ultrafast / superfast / placebo).
Add `mapPresetForGpuEncoder` in utils/gpuEncoder.ts that translates the
libx264 vocabulary to each encoder's native names:
- nvenc: libx264 -> p1..p7 (already-native pN values pass through);
unknown values fall back to p4 (medium)
- qsv: ultrafast / superfast -> veryfast; placebo -> veryslow;
everything else passes through
- videotoolbox / vaapi / null: unchanged
Both buildEncoderArgs (chunkEncoder.ts) and buildStreamingArgs
(streamingEncoder.ts) now route through the helper before pushing
`-preset` to the ffmpeg arg vector.
To make the next encoder-options failure diagnosable without re-running
ffmpeg by hand, \`formatFfmpegError\` in utils/runFfmpeg.ts now appends
the last 15 non-empty stderr lines to the error string. The four call
sites that previously swallowed stderr (encodeFramesFromDir,
muxVideoWithAudio, applyFaststart, and the streaming encoder exit
handler) have been updated.
Tested end-to-end on an RTX 4080 with ffmpeg 8.1 NVENC across
\`--quality draft|standard|high\` plus \`--video-bitrate\` and \`--crf\`
overrides; the 6 renders were visually equivalent to the CPU baseline.

## Summary
Two correctness fixes in the HDR transform & clipping pipeline: `parseTransformMatrix` now handles `matrix3d(...)` (GSAP's default `force3D: true`), and shader-transitions sets every non-first scene to `opacity: 0` at `t=0` so the engine doesn't over-composite at the start.
## Why
`Chunk 4` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Transform extraction and border-radius computation existed but were dead — an HDR video with `rotation: 45` rendered un-rotated, and 3-scene compositions ghosted at `t=0` because every scene defaulted to CSS `opacity: 1` and contributed to the first frame.
## What changed
**Matrix3d support in `parseTransformMatrix`.** `DOMMatrix.toString()` emits `matrix3d` whenever any ancestor in the chain has used a 3D transform — most importantly GSAP's default `force3D: true`, which converts `translate(...)` into `translate3d(..., 0)`. Without this, every GSAP-driven transform was silently dropped during HDR compositing because `videoFrameInjector.getViewportMatrix()` would return `matrix3d(...)` and the blit path would parse it as `null` and fall back to identity. The 16-value column-major form is converted to its 2D affine projection (indices 0, 1, 4, 5, 12, 13 → m11, m12, m21, m22, m41, m42); Z, perspective, and out-of-plane rotation components are dropped.
**Initial-state opacity in `initEngineMode`.** The browser preview branch uses a GL canvas overlay during transitions, so scene opacity at `t=0` doesn't matter visually. The engine branch reads scene opacity directly via `queryElementStacking()` to decide which layers to composite. Without an explicit initial-state tween, every scene defaulted to CSS `opacity: 1` and contributed to the very first frame, causing ghosting/overlap until the first transition fired. `tl.set()` at position 0 anchors the initial state in the timeline graph so reverse seeks from inside a later transition restore it correctly.
These two fixes together make `el.transform` and `el.borderRadius` (already wired in Chunk 7A's `compositeHdrFrame`) actually flow through the GSAP-animated case, and keep the engine's per-frame compositing aligned with what the user sees in browser preview.
## Test plan
- [x] 6 new `alphaBlit.test.ts` cases (identity matrix3d, translate3d, scale + translate3d, rotateZ, malformed arg count, non-finite values).
- [x] Existing `hdr-regression` Window H already CSS-sets `#scene-b { opacity: 0 }` as a fallback; the new `tl.set` is redundant for that case but harmless and removes the need for compositions to remember the CSS workaround.
- [x] Manual: rotated HDR video (`rotation: 45`) appears rotated; `border-radius: 50%` clips to circle; 3-scene composition has no overlap at `t=0`.
## Stack
Chunk 4 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Window F of the regression suite documents the bug; the next PR in the stack tightens the `maxFrameFailures` budget to 0.
## Summary
Four behavior-preserving refactors that reduce complexity in `renderOrchestrator.ts` and clarify the engine ffprobe utility surface. Lands after the correctness fixes (Chunks 1–5) so the refactored code is already correct.
## Why
`Chunk 7` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The HDR composite block had grown a ~200 LOC inline closure with 14 captured deps, a repeated capture-options spread, a `extractVideoMetadata` name that now also handles still images, and per-frame re-creation of debug helpers.
## What changed
**7A — Hoist `compositeToBuffer` into a module-scoped helper.** Extract the inline HDR closure into a top-level `compositeHdrFrame()` that takes an `HdrCompositeContext` struct. Construct the context once at the top of the HDR render block and pass it through. Removes a deeply-nested closure from the middle of the orchestrator.
**7B — `buildHdrCaptureOptions()` helper.** Factor the repeated `{ ...captureOptions, skipReadinessVideoIds: ... }` spread into a named helper at the call site.
**7C — Rename `extractVideoMetadata` → `extractMediaMetadata`.** Reflects that the helper handles still images (PNG/JPEG/WebP) in addition to video. Update all callers in engine + producer (`videoFrameExtractor`, `htmlCompiler`, regression-harness, producer ffprobe re-export, tests). Re-export the old name as a deprecated alias from `@hyperframes/engine` for backward compatibility, plus the producer re-export shim.
**7D — Hoist debug counters to module scope.** `countNonZeroAlpha` and `countNonZeroRgb48` are now module-scoped so they aren't re-created per frame and so the closure has fewer captures.
Also touches the `hdr-regression` and `hdr-hlg-regression` README + `meta.json` files reviewed during this refactor.
## Test plan
- [x] `bunx tsc --noEmit -p packages/producer && bunx tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine` clean.
- [x] Engine tests: 313 pass, 0 fail (1218 expect calls).
- [x] `bunx oxlint` + `bunx oxfmt --check` clean on 8 changed source files.
- [x] Diff is structural only — no behavioral changes.

## What
Replace the `choco install ffmpeg` step in `windows-render.yml` with a direct download of the upstream Windows GPL build from [`BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds`](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/latest) on GitHub Releases.
## Why
The `Render on windows-latest` canary started failing on every PR with:
```
[NuGet] Response status code does not indicate success: 504 (Gateway Timeout).
[NuGet] Response status code does not indicate success: 503 (Service Unavailable).
```
The Chocolatey community feed (`community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/ffmpeg/8.1.0`) is degraded for the `ffmpeg` package right now. The earlier 3-attempt retry I added wasn't enough — every attempt across multiple runs failed with 503/504, so retrying does nothing.
The Chocolatey path is also a bit indirect for what this job actually validates. The real point of the canary is the [PR #336](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/336) fix where `findFFmpeg()` / `where ffmpeg` discovery has to work on a fresh Windows runner. As long as `ffmpeg.exe` ends up on `PATH`, the underlying thing under test (the harness can find ffmpeg, capture frames, mux to MP4) is exercised exactly the same.
BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds is the canonical upstream nightly Windows GPL build (Chocolatey itself rebundles essentially the same artifact), so this is closer to the source, not further from it.
## How
- Download `ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl.zip` from the BtbN release with `Invoke-WebRequest` (3-attempt retry with backoff).
- Extract to `$env:RUNNER_TEMP/ffmpeg` and locate `ffmpeg.exe` recursively.
- Add the bin directory to `$env:GITHUB_PATH` so all subsequent steps in the job (the Bun-driven harness, `findFFmpeg()`, etc.) see ffmpeg on `PATH` exactly the same way as before.
- Print `ffmpeg -version` as a sanity check.
## Test plan
- [ ] CI: `Render on windows-latest` job goes green on this PR.
- [ ] Subsequent PRs no longer get blocked on `choco install ffmpeg` 503s.
## Summary
Five resource-management fixes in `renderOrchestrator.ts` and `fileServer.ts`: HDR encoder cleanup on non-abort errors, `frameDirMaxIndexCache` eviction, mid-transition abort responsiveness, pre-allocated transition buffers, and a path-traversal guard for the local file server.
## Why
`Chunk 5` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. These are independent leaks/hangs/security issues that had each been called out in prior PR reviews and never landed.
## What changed
**5A — HDR encoder + `domSession` cleanup.** The HDR streaming encoder and `domSession` were spawned outside any outer `try/finally`, so a non-abort error between encoder spawn and the inner cleanup leaked the FFmpeg process and held the browser page open. Wrapped the entire HDR (and SDR streaming) capture path in a `try/finally` with explicit `*Closed` flags, and defensively close both in the outer `finally` if they haven't been closed already. `StreamingEncoder.close()` and `closeCaptureSession()` are both idempotent, so double-close is safe.
**5B — `frameDirMaxIndexCache` + `hdrFrameDirs` eviction.** `frameDirMaxIndexCache` is module-scoped and grew monotonically: every render added entries that were never removed. Lifted `hdrFrameDirs` to the outer scope, drop the matching cache entry in the per-video `rmSync` block, and sweep any survivors in the outer `finally`. The on-disk frames themselves were already torn down with `workDir`; this just stops the in-process Map from leaking entries across renders.
**5C — Abort signal between scene A and scene B.** During a shader transition the orchestrator captures scene A and scene B back-to-back inside a single outer frame iteration. An abort that arrived while scene A was capturing wouldn't be noticed until the next outer frame — after scene B had already been fully composited and discarded. Added `assertNotAborted()` at the top of the inner `[transBufferA, transBufferB]` loop so abort is observed before the second scene's DOM seek + screenshot.
**5D — Pre-allocated transition buffers (already addressed).** The transition buffers (`transBufferA`, `transBufferB`, `transOutput`, `normalCanvas`) are pre-allocated outside the per-frame loop. The remaining `Buffer.from` copies sit in HDR transfer conversion (Chunk 8B territory) and image preload, neither of which is the per-frame hot path.
**5E — `fileServer` path-traversal guard.** `fileServer.ts` joined `compiledDir` / `projectDir` with the request path and only checked `existsSync` + `isFile`. `path.join` normalizes `..` segments, so `GET /../etc/passwd` would resolve to `/etc/passwd` and be served straight off disk if the file existed. Added an `isPathInside(child, parent)` helper that resolves both sides and compares prefixes with the platform separator appended (so `/foo` doesn't match `/foobar`), and rejects any candidate that lands outside its intended root.
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer typecheck` passes.
- [x] `fileServer.test.ts` 13/13 pass (4 existing + 9 new `isPathInside` cases covering same-path, nested, prefix-only siblings, escaping traversal, traversal that resolves back inside, trailing-slash handling, and relative-path resolution).
- [x] Manual: kill a render mid-flight with a non-abort error; no orphaned `ffmpeg` processes (5A).
- [x] Manual: two render jobs back-to-back; cache cleared between jobs (5B).
- [x] Manual: abort during a transition frame; stops promptly, not after scene B (5C).
- [x] Manual: `GET /../../../etc/passwd` against the local file server returns 403/404 (5E).
## Stack
Chunk 5 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`.
## Summary
Three independent fixes that share a common thread: HDR config flowing correctly from `EngineConfig` down through every encoder. The headline fix: disk-based HDR encodes via `chunkEncoder` were silently producing BT.709-tagged output despite `options.hdr` being set.
## Why
`Chunk 3` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The streaming encoder was correct but `chunkEncoder.buildEncoderArgs` hard-coded BT.709 color tags and the `bt709` VUI block in `-x265-params`, even when callers passed an HDR `EncoderOptions`. Today this is harmless because `renderOrchestrator` routes native-HDR content to `streamingEncoder` and only feeds `chunkEncoder` sRGB Chrome screenshots — but the contract was a lie, and any future caller that wired HDR through `chunkEncoder` would silently get SDR output.
## What changed
**3A — `chunkEncoder` respects `options.hdr` (BT.2020 + mastering metadata).** When `options.hdr` is set, the libx265 software path emits `bt2020nc` plus the matching transfer (`smpte2084` for PQ, `arib-std-b67` for HLG) at the codec level *and* embeds master-display + max-cll SEI in `-x265-params` via `getHdrEncoderColorParams`. libx264 still tags BT.709 inside `-x264-params` (libx264 has no HDR support) but the codec-level color flags flip so the container describes pixels truthfully. GPU H.265 (nvenc/videotoolbox/qsv/vaapi) gets the BT.2020 tags but no `-x265-params` block, so static mastering metadata is omitted — acceptable for previews, not HDR-aware delivery.
**3B — `convertSdrToHdr` accepts a target transfer.** `videoFrameExtractor.convertSdrToHdr` was hard-coded to `transfer=arib-std-b67` (HLG) regardless of the surrounding composition's dominant transfer. `extractAllVideoFrames` now calls `analyzeCompositionHdr` first, then passes the dominant transfer (`"pq"` or `"hlg"`) into `convertSdrToHdr` so an SDR clip mixed into a PQ timeline gets converted with `smpte2084`, not `arib-std-b67`.
**3C — `EngineConfig.hdr` type matches its declared shape.** The IIFE for the `hdr` field returned `undefined` when `PRODUCER_HDR_TRANSFER` wasn't `"hlg"` or `"pq"`, but the field is typed as `{ transfer: HdrTransfer } | false`. Returning `false` matches the type and avoids a downstream `undefined` check.
## Test plan
- [x] `chunkEncoder.test.ts`: replaced the previous "HDR options ignored" assertions with 8 new specs covering BT.2020 + transfer tagging, master-display/max-cll embedding, libx264 fallback behavior, GPU H.265 + HDR (tags but no x265-params), and range conversion for both SDR and HDR CPU paths.
- [x] All 313 engine unit tests pass (5 new HDR specs).
- [x] `ffprobe` an HDR composition rendered through the chunk encoder path: shows `bt2020nc` color matrix, `smpte2084` transfer, and mastering display metadata.
## Stack
Chunk 3 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Independent of Chunks 1/4 (touches separate code paths).
## Summary
Fix four interrelated bugs in the opacity pipeline. The headline fix: the HDR compositor was effectively ignoring direct-on-`<video>` opacity animation because the engine itself was clobbering inline opacity with `opacity: 0 !important` — switching to `visibility: hidden` resolves the bug at the root.
## Why
`Chunk 1` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. This was the most user-visible bug in the entire follow-ups list: a GSAP-controlled opacity tween directly on a `<video>` element under HDR rendered at full brightness instead of fading.
## What changed
**1A — Stop clobbering native `<video>` opacity.** `screenshotService.injectVideoFramesBatch` and `syncVideoFrameVisibility` were applying `opacity: 0 !important` to native `<video>` elements to hide them under the injected `<img>`. That stomp clobbered any GSAP-controlled inline opacity, so the next seek read 0 from computed style and the comp went black. Switched to `visibility: hidden !important` only. Visibility hides the element from rendering without changing its opacity, so subsequent reads (and `queryElementStacking`) see the real GSAP value on every frame. The `parseFloat(...) || 1` recovery hack at `injectVideoFramesBatch` was specifically there to compensate for this stomp; it's now replaced with a `Number.isNaN` guard that defaults to 1 only when parsing actually fails.
**1B — `Number.isNaN` guards in `queryVideoElementBounds`.** `parseFloat(style.opacity) || 1` silently coerced a real opacity of 0 into 1. Switched to explicit `Number.isNaN` checks so opacity 0 stays 0. Same fix for `parseFloat(style.zIndex)`.
**1C — `instanceof HTMLElement` instead of cast.** `resolveRadius` cast `el as HTMLElement` to read `offsetWidth`/`Height`. SVG and other non-HTML elements would have crashed at runtime. Replaced the cast with an `instanceof HTMLElement` guard, and made the numeric fallback `Number.isNaN`-safe.
**1D — Opacity walk starts from the element itself.** The walk in `queryVideoElementBounds` started from `el.parentElement` for HDR videos to skip past the engine's forced `opacity: 0` on the element itself. Now that the engine never sets opacity, the special case is unnecessary — always walk from `el`. Kept the `isHdrEl` lookup because transform/border-radius logic further down still branches on it.
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine typecheck` clean.
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test` — 308/308 passing.
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer typecheck` clean.
- [x] `oxlint` + `oxfmt --check` on both touched files.
- [x] `hdr-regression` Window C (the direct-opacity window) now passes against the regenerated golden — see follow-up PR in this stack which tightens the budget.
## Stack
Chunk 1 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Window C of the regression suite documents the bug; the next PR in the stack regenerates the golden and tightens its `maxFrameFailures` budget.
## Summary
Four small, mechanical type-safety cleanups across `engine`, `producer`, and `shader-transitions`. Zero behavior change — pure pre-cleanup so the rest of the stack ships against a tighter baseline.
## Why
`Chunk 6` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Several non-null assertions and a duplicate interface had accumulated as rebase artifacts and leftover work-in-progress; lands first because it touches files later chunks edit and removes friction during review.
## What changed
- `renderOrchestrator.ts`: replace `layers[layerIdx]!` with a `for (const [layerIdx, layer] of layers.entries())` so both index and element come from the iterator.
- `engine/types.ts`: drop the duplicate `HfTransitionMeta` interface (rebase artifact); the original definition above it is the documented one. The orphaned doc comment now precedes `HfProtocol`.
- `shader-transitions/hyper-shader.ts`: keep the local `HfTransitionMeta` declaration (the package ships as a standalone CDN bundle and must not depend on `@hyperframes/engine`), but add a sync comment pointing at the source of truth in `engine/src/types.ts`.
- `alphaBlit.ts` + `engine/index.ts`: drop `export` from `getSrgbToHdrLut` and remove its re-export. It was only ever called by the internal `blitRgba8OverRgb48le`; the public surface was dead code.
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine typecheck`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer typecheck`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/shader-transitions typecheck`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test` — 308/308 pass (no test changes; assertions removed in code only).
## Stack
Chunk 6 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Mechanical cleanup landed early per the suggested merge order.
## Summary
Replace the trivial `hdr-pq` and `hdr-image-only` tests with two consolidated, time-windowed regression suites that exercise the full HDR pipeline. These goldens are the safety net for every other PR in this stack.
## Why
The pre-existing HDR tests covered only a single full-bleed video or image with a static text label — none of the features that the HDR pipeline has to handle differently from SDR (opacity animation, z-ordered multi-layer compositing, transforms, border-radius clipping, shader transitions, multiple HDR sources, object-fit modes, mixed HDR+SDR layering, HLG transfer). This PR builds the missing safety net first so every subsequent fix can be proven correct.
## What changed
- New `packages/producer/tests/hdr-regression/` (PQ, BT.2020, ~20 s, 1080p, 8 windows A–H):
- A: static baseline (HDR video + DOM overlay)
- B: wrapper-opacity fade
- C: direct-on-`<video>` opacity tween (documents the Chunk 1 bug)
- D: z-order sandwich (DOM → HDR → DOM)
- E: two HDR videos side-by-side (pins PR #289)
- F: rotation + scale + border-radius (documents the Chunk 4 bug)
- G: `object-fit: contain`
- H: shader crossfade between HDR video and HDR image
- New `packages/producer/tests/hdr-hlg-regression/` (HLG, ARIB STD-B67, ~5 s, 2 windows A–B) — exercises the separate HLG LUT/OETF code path that previously had **zero** coverage.
- New `scripts/generate-hdr-photo-pq.py` synthesizes `hdr-photo-pq.png` with a cICP chunk for BT.2020/PQ/full.
- Removed `tests/hdr-pq/` and `tests/hdr-image-only/`.
- Updated `.github/workflows/regression.yml` HDR shard to run the new pair sequentially.
- All compositions follow the documented timed-element pattern (`data-start`, `data-duration`, `class="clip"` directly on each timed leaf — no wrapper inheritance).
## Test plan
- [x] Goldens generated with `bun run test:update --sequential`.
- [x] `ffprobe` confirms HEVC/yuv420p10le/bt2020nc/smpte2084 (PQ) and arib-std-b67 (HLG).
- [x] Suite green with `maxFrameFailures` budgets that absorb the documented Chunk 1 / Chunk 4 known-fails — tightened in follow-up PRs in this stack.
## Stack
Foundational PR for the HDR follow-ups stack (Chunk 0 of `plans/hdr-followups.md`). Every subsequent PR builds on this safety net.
* fix(engine): auto-normalize VFR video inputs to CFR before frame extraction
Screen recordings (macOS ScreenCaptureKit, QuickTime, phone videos) are
commonly variable-frame-rate. When such inputs hit the extractor's
`-ss <start> -i <video> -t <dur> -vf fps=N` pipeline, the fps filter
can emit fewer frames than requested — for a 4-second 30fps segment
starting mid-file, the output was ~90 frames instead of 120.
`FrameLookupTable.getFrameAtTime` returns null for out-of-range indices,
so the compositor held the last valid frame and the user perceived the
video as freezing. This matches the bug report from an X community post
where a user said "all of them freezes" on their screen recording scenes.
The engine already detects VFR via `metadata.isVFR` in ffprobe.ts but
never acted on it — the compiler only logged a warning. This change
mirrors the existing SDR→HDR normalization pattern: when a source is
detected as VFR, re-encode only the used segment with
`-fps_mode cfr -r <fps> -preset fast -crf 18` before extraction.
Scoping the re-encode to `[mediaStart, mediaStart+duration]` means a
30-second clip cut from a 60-minute screen recording pays ~1s of
transcode cost, not 18s. Benchmarked locally:
Baseline (current): 32-39% duplicate frames, 25% frame-count
shortfall on mid-file segments.
Tier 1 (flag changes only): ~same — fps filter issue is not flag-fixable.
Tier 2 (CFR preflight): 1.7-6% duplicate frames, correct frame
count in every scenario tested.
The compiler warning that previously told users to manually re-encode
is downgraded to `console.info` since the engine now handles it.
— Rames Jusso
* refactor(engine): clean up VFR normalization loop after review
- Drop the `vfrNormDirCreated` flag; `mkdirSync({recursive:true})` is
idempotent and cheap.
- Don't re-wrap the `VFR→CFR conversion failed` prefix — `convertVfrToCfr`
already throws a message with that label; adding it again in the catch
produced "VFR→CFR conversion failed: VFR→CFR conversion failed (exit 1)".
- Shorten the Phase 2b header comment; the function docstring above
`convertVfrToCfr` already explains the failure modes and rationale.
- Note which frame windows the VFR fixture's select filter drops so the
magic numbers are scannable.
No behavior change; 311/311 engine tests still pass.
— Rames Jusso
* test(engine): add VFR regression unit tests
Adds a describe block that synthesizes a VFR fixture via ffmpeg and asserts
the extractor produces the expected frame count (no shortfall) and no long
runs of duplicate frames — the user-visible "frozen screen recording"
symptom. Covers both a mid-file segment and the full-file case.
Guarded with describe.skipIf(!HAS_FFMPEG) because the CI Test job on
ubuntu-24.04 and the Windows test-windows job don't install ffmpeg. The
producer-level regression test in packages/producer/tests/vfr-screen-recording/
runs inside Dockerfile.test (which has ffmpeg) and is the primary CI signal
for this bug; these unit tests are supplementary coverage for local and
any ffmpeg-equipped CI environment.

mediaStart=1, then PSNR-compares against a committed output.mp4.
Fixture src/clip.mp4 (108 KB) is a 5-second excerpt downscaled to 480×332
with -fps_mode passthrough to preserve the VFR timestamps. Content is the
public hyperframes OSS repo root page — see NOTICE.md for provenance.
With the fix applied, all 100 PSNR checkpoints pass. With the fix reverted,
66 of 100 fail (PSNR drops from ~43 dB to ~20 dB in the duplicate-frame
windows). Tagged "regression,video,vfr" so it runs in the fast shard
of .github/workflows/regression.yml automatically.

* test(producer): regenerate vfr-screen-recording baseline in Docker
The committed golden output.mp4 was initially rendered on the host machine;
CI runs the renderer inside Dockerfile.test with a different Chrome +
ffmpeg build, producing pixel-level drift that failed PSNR at 54/100
checkpoints (~20 dB vs 41 dB in the VFR sparse-content windows). Both
renders are valid — the VFR source has inherent sampling ambiguity in
static segments, and different Chrome/ffmpeg builds make different valid
choices.
Regenerated the baseline via `bun run docker:test:update vfr-screen-recording`
so it matches the Docker environment CI actually uses. Matches the flow
the existing sub-composition-video, hdr-pq, etc. baselines were captured
with.

* docs: document that producer test baselines must be captured in Docker
Hit this 2026-04-21 with the vfr-screen-recording regression test:
host-generated output.mp4 baseline tripped 54/100 PSNR checkpoints in CI
because Chrome + ffmpeg drift between the host and Dockerfile.test.
Document the `bun run --cwd packages/producer docker:test:update <name>`
flow so future contributors don't repeat the mistake.

## Summary
This fixes a render-time audio correctness bug where Hyperframes applied a hidden post-mix gain to every rendered output, boosting audio by about +2.6 dB and causing clipping on normally leveled sources.
It also fixes a related mute bug where `data-volume="0"` was treated as falsy and silently converted back to full volume during audio track preparation.
Additionally, this PR fixes the Studio workspace typecheck path for `@hyperframes/player`, so local pre-commit/typecheck flows no longer depend on the Player package having been built first.
## Root Cause
The issue report measured a near-constant gain increase and suspected a hidden normalization step. After tracing the engine audio path, the root cause turned out to be explicit code, not FFmpeg behavior:
- `packages/engine/src/config.ts` defaulted `audioGain` to `1.35`
- `packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.ts` always appended a post-mix FFmpeg filter:
- `[mixed]volume=${masterOutputGain}[out]`
- with the default config, that meant every render got multiplied by `1.35`
That exactly matches the issue reporter's measured scalar boost.
While investigating the workaround, I also found a second correctness bug:
- `processCompositionAudio()` used `element.volume || 1.0`
- that coerced `0` to `1.0`
- so `data-volume="0"` did not actually mute the track in rendered output
Separately, the repo-level Studio typecheck could fail before any build step because:
- `packages/studio/src/player/components/Player.tsx` imports `@hyperframes/player`
- `packages/player/package.json` points TypeScript at built `dist/*` outputs
- in a fresh workspace, those built outputs may not exist yet
- Studio therefore failed type resolution for `@hyperframes/player` during pre-commit/typecheck
## What Changed
1. Set the engine default `audioGain` back to unity (`1`)
2. Preserve explicit zero volumes by changing `element.volume || 1.0` to `element.volume ?? 1.0`
3. Added regression coverage for both behaviors
4. Updated the producer-side config fixture to reflect the corrected default
5. Added a Studio tsconfig path mapping for `@hyperframes/player` to the local workspace source and widened `rootDir` so workspace typecheck succeeds without requiring a prior Player build
## Why These Changes Are Needed
This is not a UX preference issue; it is a correctness and API contract issue.
- The docs describe `data-volume` as a direct 0-1 control.
- Rendered output should preserve source levels unless the author explicitly changes them.
- Hidden global gain makes output non-deterministic from the author's perspective.
- `data-volume="0"` must mean silence, not full-volume playback.
- Local workspace typecheck should not require unrelated package build artifacts to exist first.
Leaving the current behavior in place means:
- voice recordings near normal peak levels can clip during render
- authors need undocumented manual compensation (`0.75`-ish scaling) to get unity output
- mute semantics in docs and code diverge
- local pre-commit/typecheck can fail for reasons unrelated to the actual diff being committed
## Testing
### Focused regression tests
Ran:
- `packages/engine/node_modules/.bin/vitest run packages/engine/src/config.test.ts packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.test.ts`
Result:
- `10 passed`
These tests specifically verify:
- default resolved `audioGain` is `1`
- a track with `volume: 0` stays `volume=0` in the FFmpeg filter graph
- the post-mix output filter stays at unity gain (`[mixed]volume=1[out]`)
### Broader package verification
Ran:
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine build`
- `packages/engine/node_modules/.bin/vitest run packages/producer/src/services/renderOrchestrator.test.ts`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer typecheck`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/studio typecheck`
- `bunx oxlint packages/engine/src/config.ts packages/engine/src/config.test.ts packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.ts packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.test.ts packages/producer/src/services/renderOrchestrator.test.ts`
- `bunx oxfmt packages/engine/src/config.ts packages/engine/src/config.test.ts packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.ts packages/engine/src/services/audioMixer.test.ts packages/producer/src/services/renderOrchestrator.test.ts packages/studio/tsconfig.json`
- `bunx lefthook run pre-commit`
Results:
- full engine test suite passed (`309 passed`)
- engine build passed
- touched producer test file passed (`7 passed`)
- producer typecheck passed
- studio typecheck passed
- oxlint passed with `0 warnings, 0 errors`
- formatting passed
- pre-commit hook no longer hits the prior `@hyperframes/player` module-resolution blocker
## Known Verification Limitation
There is no meaningful browser UI flow for this bug: the defect is in the engine/CLI audio render pipeline rather than an interactive browser surface. Because of that, verification was done at the renderer and test level rather than through an agent-browser flow.
## User Impact
After this change:
- rendered audio matches source level by default
- authors no longer need to compensate for a hidden +2.6 dB boost
- `data-volume="0"` correctly mutes rendered audio
- the documented volume contract matches engine behavior again
- local workspace typecheck no longer depends on prebuilt `@hyperframes/player` artifacts
Closes#361.
