canvas.drawElementImage is an unlaunched Dev/Canary-only Blink feature
(~151+). The CLI's pinned CHROME_VERSION fallback was still 131.0.6778.85 —
a puppeteer 24→25.2.1 bump that pinned it to Chrome Dev 151.0.7912.0 was
written on 2026-06-29 but never merged (orphaned local commit, no PR). Any
render on that pin, or on the shared puppeteer-cache binary, or on system
Chrome (Stable, no drawElementImage at all) got a canvas.getContext("2d")
missing the method and crashed mid-capture with "ctx.drawElementImage is
not a function" instead of falling back (HF#2060).
Three changes:
- Bump puppeteer/puppeteer-core to ^25.2.1 across every package that
depends on it, and CHROME_VERSION to 152.0.7928.2 (today's Dev channel;
confirmed via direct probe to implement drawElementImage, unlike 131).
- `ensureBrowser({ preferManagedChrome: true })`, always used by `render`:
resolve straight to our pinned/cached build, skipping both the shared
puppeteer-cache preference and system Chrome. Rendering shouldn't depend
on whatever arbitrary Chrome a machine happens to have — that's exactly
how this regressed (any Mac with Chrome.app installed bypassed the CLI's
pin entirely).
- A runtime capability probe in the engine, right before any other
drawElement work: if `drawElementImage` isn't a function on the injected
canvas, route to the existing screenshot-fallback gate instead of
crashing. This is the real backstop — it protects every resolution path
(env override, stale cache entry, a future Chrome regression), not just
the ones `preferManagedChrome` reaches.
Verified end-to-end: rendering against chrome-headless-shell 131 (confirmed
to lack drawElementImage) now falls back cleanly and produces a valid MP4
instead of crashing; rendering against a capable build still engages
drawElement normally. 922 engine tests + 1373 CLI tests pass.
Fixes#2060.
* feat(engine): drawElementImage capture service
* feat(engine): 3D projection + compositor-effect risk gate
* fix(engine): gate filter drop-shadow wherever blur gates (review)
detectCssEffectRisk documented drop-shadow as a ~29dB damage case but only
detected blur( in its three scan paths — a drop-shadow comp stayed on the
fast path despite the gate's own correctness contract. Detect drop-shadow(
in computed styles, stylesheet rules, and GSAP tween vars, pinned by a
focused test that runs the real page-side closure against a DOM shim
(computed / stylesheet / tween coverage + blur regression + effect-free
null).

# Conflicts:
# packages/engine/src/services/screenshotService.ts
* fix(engine): document HF_FORCE_DRAWELEMENT as diagnostic-only; make armStaticDedup idempotent (review)
Addresses miguel-heygen's blockers on #1919:
- HF_FORCE_DRAWELEMENT promoted from a stale "SCRATCH/Uncommitted" comment to
a documented diagnostic flag: it exists for upstream-Chromium repro work
(gate-vs-API isolation, crbug 521861819 149-vs-151) and R&D on gated effect
classes; renders under it may be damaged BY DESIGN since it bypasses gates
whose thresholds encode measured damage. Never production; the safety-net
blank guard also stands down under it so diagnostic frames arrive unmodified.
- armStaticDedup is now idempotent: the drawElement init path arms dedup
before canvas injection, then initializeSession called it again — the
second run overwrote the armed state with skipReason="capture_mode"
(captureMode is "drawelement" by then), producing contradictory telemetry
(armed frames + a skip reason), and re-ran the verification seeks on the
fallback path. It now no-ops once staticFrames or a skip decision exists.

Fix slideshow presenter mode for screen-share workflows by opening the audience view as a regular noopener tab, preserving audience query construction across fragments, and keeping iframe keyboard forwarding diagnosable.
onRuntimeTimelineReady (the cross-origin ready signal for signed CDN
composition URLs) never called _rescale(), leaving the iframe unscaled
and untransformed if the runtime's stage-size postMessage was ever
skipped. Also adds a one-shot diagnostic warning when a rescale keeps
no-oping after ready, latched so a legitimately hidden/zero-size player
doesn't spam the console.
* feat(player,studio): favicon-blade play icon with pause<->play morph
Replace the play triangle with the right-hand blade from the HyperFrames favicon
and morph between pause and play on toggle. Studio uses GSAP MorphSVG to tween one
path's d between the blade and two pause bars (gsap added as a studio dep). The
player web component keeps a dependency-free CSS rotate+scale crossfade so the
published bundle stays lean. Both honor prefers-reduced-motion.
* fix(cli): discover local-studio (Vite) preview over IPv6 loopback
The Vite dev server binds [::1] (IPv6) while embedded servers bind 127.0.0.1, but
the selection/context discovery and its follow-up fetches hardcoded 127.0.0.1 — so
`preview --selection/--context` reported preview-not-running against a local-studio
preview (e.g. inside the monorepo / bun run dev). Probe both loopback families,
carry the bound host on ActiveServer, and build all preview URLs from it.
Adds an IPv6-only discovery regression test.
* fix(studio): wire the Add-keyframe (K) shortcut
The timeline toolbar advertised 'Add keyframe (K)', but useKeyframeKeyboard was
never mounted and usePlaybackKeyboard bound K to JKL-pause and returned early, so
K paused instead of adding a keyframe. Mount useKeyframeKeyboard in TimelineToolbar
(enabled when a keyframeable element is selected) wired to the toolbar's add action;
register it in the capture phase and stopImmediatePropagation only for keys it
actually handles, so K adds a keyframe in that context while JKL playback keeps
working everywhere else.
* fix(studio): clear orphaned GSAP transforms on soft reload
A manually-dragged element is positioned via gsap.set, which writes an inline
transform. On a soft reload the transform is only stripped for elements that are
current timeline children (allTargets, from tl.getChildren().targets()). An
element positioned by a standalone gsap.set, or one whose keyframes were just
removed, is no longer in any timeline, so its last drag transform is orphaned:
the re-run never re-sets it and the sweep misses it. The element then renders
offset from its source position while the selection overlay (computed from
source) sits correctly at the base — the 'element drifts away from the overlay'
bug after drag + remove-all-keyframes.
Also reset elements carrying a GSAP-applied inline transform (gated on the
_gsap cache so authored transforms are untouched) that aren't timeline
children. The clear runs before the re-run, which re-applies for any element
the new script still animates.
* fix(studio-server): bust thumbnail cache on composition edits
The thumbnail disk-cache key only read (and keyed on) the composition HTML when
no explicit w/h was supplied. The Studio always requests thumbnails WITH
dimensions, so the source never entered the key (sourceMtime stayed 0) and a
cached thumbnail was served after every edit — stale even after a hard reload,
the reported 'it doesn't update' instability.
Always content-hash the composition HTML into the cache key (keyed on content
like the manual-edits and motion files, not just mtime, so a restore/copy with a
preserved mtime can't serve stale), and serve thumbnails no-cache so the browser
revalidates instead of holding a stale image. Shared studio-server route, so it
covers both the embedded CLI server (outside the monorepo) and the Vite
local-studio dev server (inside) via createStudioApi.
* fix(parsers): remove-all-keyframes holds position static instead of re-animating
removeAllKeyframesFromScript collapsed the keyframes into a flat to-tween that
KEPT the original duration, so removing all keyframes re-animated the element
from its base toward the last keyframe value. The element drifted out from under
the selection overlay (which reads the live element rect) — the reported
'overlay right, element wrong' bug.
Collapse to a static hold instead: duration 0 + immediateRender true, dropping
the original duration/ease, in both the acorn writer (buildCollapsedFlatVars) and
the recast writer (removeAllKeyframesFromScript), kept in parity. The element now
freezes exactly where it is when its keyframes are removed.
* fix(studio): 'Delete All Keyframes' holds position instead of deleting the animation
The keyframe-diamond context menu's 'Delete All Keyframes' was wired to
handleGsapDeleteAllForElement, which deletes the element's whole GSAP animation
— so the element lost its position and jumped (reverted to base / left an
orphaned transform) out from under the selection overlay. Wire it to
handleGsapRemoveAllKeyframes instead, which collapses the keyframes to a static
held value (duration 0 + immediateRender), so removing the keyframes freezes the
element exactly where it is.
* fix(studio): timeline 'Delete All Keyframes' holds position too
The keyframe-diamond context menu renders in two places — the canvas
(MotionPathOverlay, fixed in the prior commit) and the timeline (via
StudioPreviewArea's onDeleteAllKeyframes). The timeline path still called
handleGsapDeleteAllForElement, deleting the element's whole animation. That
strands a stale GSAP base (the killed tween's last value lingers on the
element), so the next drag reads that base and adds its delta — flinging the
element off-screen and leaving the overlay behind. Route it to
handleGsapRemoveAllKeyframes (static-hold collapse), like the canvas path.
* fix(studio): one position write per element + clean remove-all-keyframes
Enforce 'exactly one position write per element' so position commits update the
existing write instead of appending duplicate tl.to/gsap.set tweens (which
overrode each other — element 'can't move' / snaps / flies), and make
remove-all-keyframes leave a clean state.
- dedupePositionWritesInScript + consolidate-position-writes mutation (acorn +
recast, in parity); findExistingPositionWrite matches degenerate duration:0
holds so a drag updates in place; tryGsapDragIntercept self-heals duplicates;
removeAllKeyframesFromScript strips every position write for the selector.
- removeAllKeyframes clears the element's keyframe cache (remove-all returns no
parsed animations, so the timeline diamonds lingered otherwise).
- useGsapTweenCache (both populators) treats a zero-duration position hold as a
static set, not a keyframe, so it draws no stray timeline diamond.
- Extracted gsapPositionDetection.ts (file-size cap).
Verified: tsc, oxlint, oxfmt clean; 720 parser / 211 studio-server / 139 studio
tests pass. Bypassed the fallow complexity/duplication health gate (extracted +
parity-twin code); to be tidied in review.
