Brand-loop live test (SDS duplicate, plans/figma/brand-loop-test-plan.md)
proved the recolor chain end-to-end and surfaced three gaps:
- runtime now defines every declared composition variable as a CSS
custom property (document root at init + scoped sub-comp hosts in the
loader), so imported var(--slug, literal) fills resolve live — without
this the frozen literal always won and variable-driven rebranding
could not propagate. Slug kept byte-compatible with the figma
importer (parity test). render --variables overrides win.
- figma component --name: variant frames are often all named
'Platform=Desktop' and slug-collided across imports.
- imported fragments carry data-hf-snippet and the project linter skips
composition-root rules for them.
- /figma skill documents the field-tested non-Enterprise tokens path
(MCP get_variable_defs joined with REST boundVariables ids).
Shared-helper extractions (injectScopedStyles, flattenedRoot module,
parseHostVariableValues, rasterizeFallback, shapeCss) satisfy the
dedup/complexity audit the runtime changes tripped.
Validated live: brand-loop renders purple from the attribute alone (no
manual :root); 118 figma + 662 runtime/compiler + 331 lint tests green.

## What
Extends `getVariables.test.ts` with T8 from the SDK migration test plan: override-set merge semantics.
## Tests (4 new)
- **last-write-wins** — calling `setOverrides` twice; second value wins
- **sparse override** — override one key, unmentioned declared defaults survive intact
- **batch override (brand kit)** — setting all keys at once via a single override object
- **manual override after batch** — replacing one key from a kit batch; others untouched
## Scope note
Tests are labeled **"flat-merge, current behaviour"** — `getVariables` does `{...defaults, ...overrides}`. Dotted-key path resolution (`"headline.color"` as `id.prop`) is a future SDK concern; these tests validate the flat-merge contract that exists today, not the future path-resolution semantics.
## Stack
Stacked on T1 (#1240). Prerequisite for T11 (#1242), T4 (#1243).
Building on PR 1's getVariables() helper, this PR routes per-instance
values into the correct sub-composition. Same composition source can
now be embedded N times with different content via data-variable-values
on each host element.
How it works:
- compositionLoader, before injecting wrapped scripts, layers the host
element's data-variable-values JSON over the sub-comp's declared
defaults (its own data-composition-variables) and writes the merged
object to window.__hfVariablesByComp[compositionId]. Skipped when
both sides are empty so the table only grows for instances that
actually carry values.
- compositionScoping's wrapper IIFE now takes a fourth parameter
__hyperframes alongside the existing scoped document/gsap/window.
The scoped __hyperframes shadows getVariables() to read from
__hfVariablesByComp[__hfCompId], returning a fresh object each call
so script mutations don't leak into the shared table.
- Top-level scripts (not wrapped by compositionScoping) keep using the
unscoped window.__hyperframes.getVariables(), which reads
data-composition-variables defaults plus the CLI override
(window.__hfVariables) — same path as PR 1.
- readDeclaredDefaults is exported from getVariables.ts so the loader
reuses the exact same defaults-extraction logic the helper uses for
the top-level path.
Inline templates (no separate <html> document root) get host overrides
only — no declared defaults — since there's no separate <html> to read
data-composition-variables from. External sub-comps fetched via
data-composition-src get the full declared defaults + host overrides
merge.
Tests: 3 new compositionScoping tests covering scoped getVariables
invocation, missing-entry fallback, and mutation isolation. 5 new
compositionLoader tests covering merge order, declared-only path,
empty-skip, invalid-host-JSON resilience, and per-instance scoping
across two hosts sharing a source. 3 new getVariables tests covering
the newly-public readDeclaredDefaults. All 622 core tests green.
Docs: docs/concepts/compositions.mdx switched its sub-comp example from
hand-rolled JSON.parse(host.dataset.variableValues) to the new
__hyperframes.getVariables() pattern. data-attributes.mdx clarifies
per-instance scoping behavior.
This is PR 2 of a 4-PR stack. PR 3 adds schema validation + lint;
PR 4 ships skill / scaffold updates.

Adds the parametrized-render primitive from hf#592 by reusing the existing
data-composition-variables schema as the source of declared defaults.
- Runtime helper window.__hyperframes.getVariables() (also exported from
@hyperframes/core) reads data-composition-variables defaults from the
document root and merges window.__hfVariables (CLI override) on top.
Returns Partial<T> for typed access; supports a generic for editor
ergonomics. Same code path runs in dev preview and at render time.
- CLI render --variables '<json>' / --variables-file <path> populates the
override. Mutually exclusive; fail-fast on conflicting flags, missing
file, unparseable JSON, or non-object payloads. parseVariablesArg is
exported as a pure function so validation paths stay unit-testable.
- Engine injects window.__hfVariables via evaluateOnNewDocument before
any page script runs, so the helper sees the merged values on its
first call. Empty payloads are skipped to avoid pointless init scripts.
- Producer threads variables through RenderConfig and into the engine's
CaptureOptions; Docker mode forwards --variables to the in-container
CLI invocation via dockerRunArgs.
Composition authors declare variables once on the root <html> element:
<html data-composition-variables='[
{"id":"title","type":"string","label":"Title","default":"Hello"}
]'>
and read them in any composition script:
const { title } = window.__hyperframes.getVariables();
A render with `--variables '{"title":"Q4 Report"}'` overrides the default
without modifying the composition source. Missing keys fall through to
the declared defaults, so dev preview and CLI renders without --variables
behave identically.
This is PR 1 of a 4-PR stack. Sub-comp per-instance scoping (carrying
host data-variable-values through the inlined sub-comp's getVariables()
call) lands in PR 2; schema validation and lint in PR 3; skill / scaffold
distribution in PR 4.
Tests: 9 new unit tests for getVariables() (jsdom), 11 new CLI tests
covering parseVariablesArg validation paths and Docker passthrough,
2 new dockerRunArgs assertions for the --variables flag. All existing
tests green (core 611, cli 208, engine 519).
