Add mintlify docs page for contributing blocks/components to the
registry catalog. Rename skill from contribute to contribute-catalog
for clearer intent.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a new docs page under Getting Started that links to the
heygen-com/hyperframes-launches repo — open-source HyperFrames
compositions behind HeyGen's product launch videos. Includes a brief
catalog of the 5 projects currently in there, framing on why these are
useful (multi-composition shape, real adapter mix, production-grade
timing), and the LFS-aware clone recipe.
Cross-linked from `docs/examples.mdx`'s Next Steps and from
`docs/community/adopters.mdx`.
Came from a Discord ask via blackNoir (forwarded by James) — users
landing on the docs want to see how the internal team builds their own
videos through HyperFrames; this surfaces that source in one click.
The producer already supports `format: "png-sequence"` end-to-end (see
RenderConfig in renderOrchestrator.ts), but the CLI's VALID_FORMAT
validator rejects it before the flag reaches the producer. Surface it
the same way `mov` and `webm` are surfaced.
Behaviour:
- `--format png-sequence` accepted alongside mp4/webm/mov.
- Auto-output path uses no extension (FORMAT_EXT["png-sequence"] = "")
since the producer treats outputPath as a directory of frame_NNNNNN.png.
- `printRenderComplete` sums the contained file sizes when outputPath
is a directory, instead of reporting the platform-dependent inode
size.
- DockerRenderOptions.format type extended; existing buildDockerRunArgs
is unchanged because it forwards the string verbatim.
Tests:
- renderLocal forwards `format: "png-sequence"` to createRenderJob.
- buildDockerRunArgs propagates `--format png-sequence` to the
container.
Docs:
- Rendering guide: format flag table, format comparison table, new
"PNG sequence (no encoding)" section, "How it works" extended.
- CLI package docs: format flag table updated.
## What
Adds a new guide at `docs/guides/deploy.mdx` covering the two official one-click deployment templates:
- [heygen-com/hyperframes-vercel-template](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes-vercel-template) (Vercel Sandbox + Vercel Blob)
- [heygen-com/hyperframes-cloudflare-template](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes-cloudflare-template) (Cloudflare Containers + R2)
Wires the new page into `docs.json` under Guides, slotted right after `guides/rendering` (logical follow-on: render locally → deploy to the cloud).
## Why
The two templates currently only exist as GitHub READMEs, so they're invisible to anyone reading the docs site. New users who want a hosted preview + render endpoint have no entry point in the docs to discover them.
## How
Single guide with:
- A comparison table (compute / storage / deploy button) so readers can pick at a glance.
- `<Tabs>` for per-platform details (deploy button, what you get, performance, pricing, "why this primitive").
- Shared architecture diagram and the common "pre-baked renderer" cost pattern.
- "Swapping the composition" steps that work for both templates.
- "When to use a template vs. roll your own" framing for queues, multi-tenant, self-hosted.
Single-page approach (vs. one page per template) chosen because content overlaps heavily — easier to discover and lower maintenance until more templates land.
## Test plan
- [x] No code changes — docs only
- [x] `bunx oxfmt --check` and `bunx oxlint` pass on changed files (no rules apply to `.mdx` / `.json` here)
- [ ] Render the docs site locally to verify nav placement and Mintlify components (`<Tabs>`, `<Steps>`, `<CardGroup>`, `<Note>`) render correctly
- [ ] Verify the Vercel and Cloudflare deploy buttons in the page open the correct template URLs
* feat(cli): add --composition flag to render specific compositions
Expose the existing entryFile config in the producer through
a new --composition / -c CLI flag. This lets users render
individual composition files without restructuring their project:
hyperframes render -c compositions/intro.html -o intro.mp4
The flag validates the file exists before starting the render,
threads through both local and Docker render paths, and is
documented in the CLI help, examples, and docs.
* fix(cli): address PR review — path traversal guard, forward tests, tripwire
- Add path-containment check mirroring hyperframeLint.ts: reject
--composition paths that escape the project directory
- Normalize leading ./ from composition paths for clean render plan output
- Improve error message: suggest .html file path instead of compositions command
- Add description note about <template> sub-composition constraint
- Add render.test.ts: entryFile forwarded to createRenderJob (forward + omit)
- Update dockerRunArgs tripwire test with entryFile coverage
Remove dollar amounts, render-time figures, and credit allowances from the
Vercel/Cloudflare tabs. These were sourced from the template READMEs but go
stale fast (pricing changes) and are load-bearing on a single composition's
quirks (perf isn't proportional to duration). Keep qualitative framing and
link out to the canonical pricing pages instead.

* docs: group VFX blocks under HTML-in-Canvas, captions under Captions in sidebar
* docs: add HTML-in-Canvas guide, Chrome flag disclaimer, remove captions
- Add docs/guides/html-in-canvas.mdx — comprehensive guide covering the
API, feature detection, re-capture patterns, and catalog blocks
- Add Chrome flag Warning banner to every HTML-in-Canvas block page
- Remove captions blocks from registry (will ship separately)
- Add html-in-canvas guide to docs navigation (top of Guides section)
* feat: update liquid glass, portal, shatter with HyperFrames branding
Replace generic placeholder content with HyperFrames-themed text:
- Liquid Glass: 'Ship videos 10x faster' with stats and gradient text
- Portal: 'Write HTML / Render Video' with HyperFrames nav
- Shatter: 'HTML is Video' with render speed/file size metrics
Re-rendered and uploaded preview videos to S3.
Merges main's refactored capture (CaptureSceneOptions, forceVisible,
stabilizeTransformedBoxShadows, foreignObjectRendering fallback) with
our HTML-in-Canvas drawElementImage capture path. The native capture
tries first and falls back to html2canvas on failure.
Emit an inverse-alpha background plate alongside the cutout in a single
inference pass. Same source RGB, alpha = 255 − mask. Dual-encoder pipeline
runs in parallel; both outputs share the same --quality preset.
This is a hole-cut plate (subject region transparent), not an inpainted
clean plate — composite something opaque under it to fill the hole.
Docs and skill cover when each is the right tool.

## Problem
The Blue Sweater intro HyperFrames project was only available as a standalone exported project zip. It was not installable from the public registry or visible in the Catalog Showcases group.
## What this fixes
Adds `blue-sweater-intro-video` as a registry block with its composition, avatar image, and sound mix asset. The block is exposed through the generated catalog page, `docs/public/catalog-index.json`, and the Showcases navigation.
The manifest and generated catalog page credit the creator as [Joe Sai](https://x.com/_blue_sweater_).
## Root cause
Catalog-visible blocks are driven by `registry/registry.json`, each block's `registry-item.json`, generated docs/catalog files, and CDN-hosted preview media. The exported project had a valid standalone composition, but it had not been converted into that registry/catalog contract or uploaded to the docs preview CDN.
## Verification
### Local checks
- `bun install`
- `bun run build`
- `bunx tsx scripts/generate-catalog-pages.ts`
- `bun run generate:catalog-previews -- --only blue-sweater-intro-video`
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts add blue-sweater-intro-video --dir /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test --no-clipboard --json` against a locally served registry
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts lint /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test` returned 0 errors and 3 static GSAP overlap warnings from the supplied timeline/parser path
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts validate /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test --timeout 5000` returned 0 runtime errors and 0 warnings, with contrast audit warnings only
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts inspect /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test --at 0.5,2.5,5.5,9.8,11.2 --json` returned 0 layout issues
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts render /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test --output /tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test/blue-sweater-intro-video-render.mp4 --fps 24 --quality draft --workers 3`
- `ffprobe` reported the installed render duration as `12.000000`
- `bunx oxfmt --check registry/registry.json registry/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video/registry-item.json registry/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video/blue-sweater-intro-video.html docs/docs.json docs/public/catalog-index.json docs/catalog/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video.mdx`
- `git diff --check`
- `bunx vitest run packages/cli/src/commands/add.test.ts packages/core/src/registry/types.test.ts`
### Browser verification
- Started a real local HyperFrames preview for the installed test project.
- Used `agent-browser` to open `http://localhost:5198/api/projects/hf-blue-sweater-install-test/preview` at 1920x1080.
- Verified the runtime registered `install-test` and `blue-sweater-intro-video` timelines.
- Sought the block to the final card and verified `@_blue_sweater_` and the following state were visible.
- Recorded an `agent-browser`-driven full animation pass; `ffprobe` confirmed a 1920x1080 WebM with 110 video frames.
- Checked the fresh `agent-browser` session for page errors after the direct preview flow: `errors: []`.
- Used `agent-browser` to load an HTML page with the exact generated CDN `video`/`poster` URLs; the browser reported `readyState: 4`, `videoWidth: 1920`, `videoHeight: 1080`, and `paused: false`.
### CDN upload
Uploaded the generated preview media with AWS CLI to the existing docs image bucket path:
- `s3://heygen-public/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/catalog/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video.mp4`
- `s3://heygen-public/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/catalog/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video.png`
Verified both public CDN URLs return `HTTP 200` with correct content type and immutable cache headers:
- `https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/catalog/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video.mp4` (`video/mp4`)
- `https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/images/catalog/blocks/blue-sweater-intro-video.png` (`image/png`)
## Notes
- Local-only browser proof artifacts:
- `/tmp/hf-blue-sweater-browser-proof/fresh-final-card.png`
- `/tmp/hf-blue-sweater-browser-proof/fresh-browser-flow.webm`
- `/tmp/hf-blue-sweater-cdn-check.png`
- Local-only installed render artifact:
- `/tmp/hf-blue-sweater-install-test/blue-sweater-intro-video-render.mp4`
The model removes background from any video with a person — we tested
with avatars because they were convenient, but anyone can bring a
talking-head clip, presenter footage, vlog, etc. Replace avatar-specific
filenames (avatar.mp4 / brandon.mp4) with neutral subject.mp4 (or
presenter.mp4 in the text-behind-subject example) and rephrase
copy that read as if avatars were the only use case.

Move tts/transcribe/remove-background guidance into a new
hyperframes-media sibling skill so the CLI skill stays focused on
the dev loop (init/lint/inspect/preview/render/doctor).
Two motivations:
1. Description bloat. The CLI skill listed every subcommand as a
trigger keyword, which made agents auto-load it for any mention
of audio, transcription, or backgrounds — even when the task
was just rendering a composition.
2. Body bloat. Voice tables, the .en-translates-non-English
whisper rule, and codec selection guidance all loaded on
every CLI invocation. With three preprocessing commands now
in the CLI (tts, transcribe, remove-background), this is only
going to grow.
The split keeps a single sibling (hyperframes-media), not three:
the commands share a workflow (preprocess asset → drop into
composition) and the same first-run-downloads-a-model pattern,
so they belong together. CLI skill now references hyperframes-media
from a one-paragraph "Asset Preprocessing" stub.
Doc references updated in README.md, CLAUDE.md,
docs/quickstart.mdx, and docs/guides/prompting.mdx.
## Problem
Two newly reported runtime issues break common local workflows:
- Fixes#615: `<hyperframes-player loop>` reaches the final frame, receives a paused runtime state, and stays paused instead of wrapping.
- Fixes#616: `hyperframes render` can finish writing the output and print `Render complete`, but still remain alive when a non-essential handle keeps Node's event loop open.
The catalog block also used old VPN branding and slug/file names that should now be neutral. Renaming registry items also exposed a catalog-preview CI bug where deleted registry paths were treated as still-renderable changed items.
## What this fixes
- detects player completion from the previous playing state before mutating the parent `_paused` cache from the runtime's final state
- wraps looping players back to `0` and immediately resumes playback even when the runtime posts `isPlaying: false` at the end frame
- keeps non-looping players dispatching the existing `ended` flow
- lets the CLI command path schedule a short unref'd `process.exit(0)` after a successful local or Docker render
- keeps `renderLocal()` importable for tests and internal callers without forcing process exit unless the CLI command explicitly opts in
- adds regression coverage for the player loop end-state and successful render exit scheduling
- renames the VPN catalog block to `vpn-youtube-spot` across registry, docs route, install command, composition filename, asset filename, composition id, and timeline key
- keeps visible block/app copy friendly and named `VPN`
- updates catalog-preview CI to ignore deleted registry paths when computing changed preview items
## Root cause
The player message handler updated `_paused = !data.isPlaying` before checking for end-of-composition loop behavior. The runtime's legitimate final-frame state has `isPlaying: false`, so the existing `currentTime >= duration && !paused` loop branch was skipped.
For render completion, the CLI returned after `printRenderComplete()`, leaving process lifetime entirely to Node's active handles. Most local renders in this checkout drain cleanly, but the reported npm flow shows a sleeping parent process after output is already complete. The CLI now schedules a short unref'd successful exit only from the command path after user-visible render work has completed.
The catalog block issue was content/metadata drift: registry/docs/code identifiers still used the old slug, so the catalog route, install command, composition id, file names, and source prompt did not match the requested neutral VPN naming. The preview workflow used plain `git diff --name-only`, which includes deleted paths during renames; it now filters to added/copied/modified/renamed live paths.
## Verification

### Browser verification
- Built the player bundle and served a real local reproduction using the built player, the built HyperFrames runtime, and GSAP.
- Used `agent-browser` to open the page, click `Seek near end`, and wait through the end-frame transition.
- Verified the browser state after playback: `stuck=false`, `looped=true`, and playback continued after wrapping from ~4s back to the start.
- Served `registry/blocks/vpn-youtube-spot/vpn-youtube-spot.html` locally, used `agent-browser` to seek the timeline, and verified `window.__timelines` contains `vpn-youtube-spot`, not `goonvpn-youtube-spot`.
- Served the docs locally with Mintlify, opened `/catalog/blocks/vpn-youtube-spot`, and verified the install command is `npx hyperframes add vpn-youtube-spot` with no old slug visible.
### Composition verification
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli dev lint /var/folders/3n/hxk3qmnd0tl284jtcy66w6dw0000gn/T/hf-vpn-renamed-w027if` returned 0 errors and 1 existing large-composition warning.
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli dev validate /var/folders/3n/hxk3qmnd0tl284jtcy66w6dw0000gn/T/hf-vpn-renamed-w027if --timeout 5000` returned 0 console errors; it reported existing non-fatal contrast audit warnings from the block styling.
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli dev render /var/folders/3n/hxk3qmnd0tl284jtcy66w6dw0000gn/T/hf-vpn-renamed-w027if --output /tmp/hf-vpn-renamed-proof.mp4 --fps 30 --quality draft --workers 1 --no-browser-gpu` completed successfully.
- `ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size -of default=noprint_wrappers=1 /tmp/hf-vpn-renamed-proof.mp4` reported `duration=7.000000`.
### Render verification
- Ran a real 1920x1080, 5-second render with `--gpu --workers 6 --quality draft --fps 24`.
- Verified the command printed `Render complete` and the parent process exited with code `0` in the wrapper: `RENDER_EXIT_PROOF code=0 signal=null sawComplete=true`.
## Notes
- I could not reproduce the exact indefinite #616 render hang on this checkout; both tiny and GPU/6-worker local renders exited cleanly before and after the patch. The CLI guard still addresses the reported leaked-handle failure mode because it fires only after successful render completion.
- Browser proof artifacts were local-only: `/tmp/hf-player-loop-proof-final.png`, `/tmp/hf-player-loop-proof-final.webm`, `/tmp/hf-vpn-code-rename-proof.png`, `/tmp/hf-vpn-code-rename-proof.webm`, `/tmp/hf-vpn-doc-route-rename-proof.png`, and `/tmp/hf-vpn-doc-route-rename-proof.webm`.
- The renamed composition render artifact was local-only: `/tmp/hf-vpn-renamed-proof.mp4`.
- The CLI exit guard is only enabled by the `render` command's top-level local/Docker calls. Direct test/internal calls to `renderLocal()` do not force process exit unless they pass `exitAfterComplete: true`.
Distribution PR for the variables feature stack: tells agents how to
declare, read, and override variables across the four authoring
surfaces.
skills/hyperframes/SKILL.md:
- Added data-variable-values + data-composition-variables to the
data-attributes tables (host element + <html> root respectively).
- New "Variables (Parametrized Compositions)" section right after
"Composition Structure". Three-step pattern (declare / read /
override), full worked example with enum variable, sub-comp
per-instance pattern with two hosts sharing a source, and rules
of thumb (always provide defaults; read once, not in frame loops;
use --strict-variables in CI; type validation behavior).
skills/hyperframes-cli/SKILL.md:
- Added --variables, --variables-file, --strict-variables to the
render flag table.
- Short paragraph below the table explaining the parametrized-render
pattern with a forward reference to the hyperframes skill.
docs/packages/core.mdx:
- Added a code snippet showing getVariables<T>() inside a composition
and validateVariables/formatVariableValidationIssue for tooling.
packages/cli/src/docs/compositions.md (the in-CLI `npx hyperframes
docs compositions` content):
- Replaced the hand-rolled JSON.parse(host.dataset.variableValues)
pattern with the modern getVariables() pattern.
This is PR 4 of the 4-PR stack. The openai/plugins mirror is a
separate follow-up.

Two lint rules + render-time validation built on top of the existing
data-composition-variables schema.
Lint rules (packages/core/src/lint/rules/composition.ts):
- invalid_variable_values_json — host's data-variable-values must parse as
a JSON object. Today the runtime swallows parse failures silently and
falls back to declared defaults, masking typos.
- invalid_composition_variables_declaration — root <html>'s
data-composition-variables must parse as an array of objects with
`id` (string), `type` (one of string/number/color/boolean/enum), `label`
(string), and `default`. Per-entry findings report which fields are
missing or invalid.
Both rules read attributes via a new `readJsonAttr` helper in lint/utils.ts.
The existing `readAttr` regex `["']([^"']+)["']` truncates JSON-in-attribute
values at the first internal quote (e.g. `data-variable-values='{"x":"y"}'`
captures only `{`); `readJsonAttr` alternates double-vs-single-quoted
branches with quote-specific char classes so JSON values round-trip cleanly.
A second helper `findHtmlTag` returns the actual <html> open tag (where
data-composition-variables lives) — distinct from `findRootTag` which
returns the first in-body composition element.
Render-time validation (packages/core/src/runtime/validateVariables.ts):
- validateVariables(values, declarations) returns a structured array of
issues: undeclared keys, type mismatches, enum-out-of-range values.
Pure / sync; works in any environment.
- formatVariableValidationIssue(issue) renders a one-line user-facing
string for CLI output.
- Both exported from @hyperframes/core for studio/tooling reuse.
CLI integration (packages/cli/src/commands/render.ts):
- New --strict-variables flag. Default behavior: print warnings and
continue. With --strict-variables: print warnings then exit 1.
- New `validateVariablesAgainstProject(indexPath, values)` helper:
reads the project's index.html, runs extractCompositionMetadata to
pull the declared schema, validates the CLI's --variables payload
against it. ensureDOMParser polyfill for Node-side parsing (same
pattern as compositions.ts).
Tests:
- 11 new validateVariables unit tests covering happy path, undeclared
keys, type mismatches (string/number/boolean/color/enum), enum range,
multiple-issue aggregation, and formatter output.
- 11 new composition.test.ts cases for both lint rules: parse errors,
shape errors, per-entry validation, unknown types, missing fields,
positive cases.
- 5 new render.test.ts cases for validateVariablesAgainstProject:
no-declarations, happy path, undeclared, type-mismatch, missing-file.
- All 646 core tests + 213 cli tests still green.
Docs:
- docs/packages/cli.mdx — added --strict-variables flag row.
This is PR 3 of a 4-PR stack. PR 4 ships skill/scaffold distribution.

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.

## What
Adds the parametrized-render primitive from [hf#592](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/issues/592) by introducing a `getVariables()` runtime helper plus a CLI `--variables` / `--variables-file` flag. Compositions declare variables once on the root `<html>` element (the existing `data-composition-variables` attribute, which already drives Studio editing UI), read them at runtime via `window.__hyperframes.getVariables()`, and CLI users override them at render time without touching the composition source.
This is **PR 1 of a 4-PR stack**:
1. **PR 1 (this one)** — runtime helper + CLI flag + engine injection (top-level renders).
2. PR 2 — sub-comp per-instance scoping (carry the host's `data-variable-values` into the inlined sub-comp's `getVariables()`).
3. PR 3 — schema validation + lint rules (warn on undeclared variable IDs, optional `--strict-variables`).
4. PR 4 — skill / scaffold distribution (SKILL.md, AGENTS.md scaffolds, openai/plugins mirror).
## Why
The existing `data-composition-variables` schema declares variable types and defaults but isn't readable from composition scripts and can't be overridden at render time. To produce N variations of a composition today, an agent has to fork the composition or edit the source HTML before each render. `--variables` collapses that into one render call per variation, matching Editframe's `--data` UX without copying their `getRenderData` framing — `getVariables()` is named for the codebase's existing "variables" terminology and works equally in dev preview and at render time.
## How
- **Runtime helper** (`packages/core/src/runtime/getVariables.ts`): reads `data-composition-variables` from `document.documentElement`, extracts `{id: default}` defaults, merges `window.__hfVariables` (override) on top, returns `Partial<T>`. Same code path in dev preview (no override) and at render (with override). Generic parameter for typed editor ergonomics. Exposed both as a named export from `@hyperframes/core` and on `window.__hyperframes.getVariables` for vanilla compositions.
- **CLI flag** (`packages/cli/src/commands/render.ts`): `--variables '<json>'` and `--variables-file <path>`. `parseVariablesArg` is split out as a pure function (returns a discriminated `{ ok: true } | { ok: false }` union) so all validation paths are unit-testable; the side-effecting `resolveVariablesArg` wraps it with `errorBox` + `process.exit`. Mutually exclusive with `--variables-file`; fail-fast on conflicts, missing file, unparseable JSON, or non-object payloads (string, number, array, null).
- **Engine injection** (`packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture.ts`): added an `evaluateOnNewDocument` step right after the `__name` polyfill that sets `window.__hfVariables` to the parsed JSON before any page script runs. Skipped when payload is empty so we don't add pointless init scripts. Plumbed through `CaptureOptions.variables` and `RenderConfig.variables`. Docker mode forwards the flag to the in-container CLI via `dockerRunArgs`.
- **Why a separate `__hfVariables` global** instead of writing into `__hyperframes.getVariables()` directly: the helper is an IIFE that has to be defined before composition scripts execute, but the *override* needs to land before *that*. `evaluateOnNewDocument` is the only reliable hook that runs before the runtime IIFE evaluates. Storing the raw value on `__hfVariables` and merging in the helper keeps both paths order-independent.
## Test plan
- [x] Unit tests added/updated
- 9 jsdom tests for `getVariables()` covering empty state, declared defaults only, override merge, override-wins, declared-only, invalid JSON, non-array payloads, non-object overrides, typed generic.
- 7 tests for `parseVariablesArg` covering all validation paths.
- 2 integration tests for `renderLocal` confirming `variables` reach `createRenderJob`.
- 3 new `dockerRunArgs` assertions for `--variables` passthrough (set / not-set / empty-object).
- All existing tests green: core 611, cli 208, engine 519.
- [x] Manual testing performed
- `npx tsx packages/cli/src/cli.ts render --help` shows both flags + the two new examples.
- [x] Documentation updated
- `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — added flags to the table and a "Parametrized renders" section with a worked example.
- `docs/concepts/data-attributes.mdx` — added `data-composition-variables` row.
## Backwards compatibility
Fully backwards compatible. Compositions without `data-composition-variables` work unchanged; `getVariables()` returns `{}` and the engine skips the injection step.

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).

## Problem
Users who want Tailwind utilities in a plain HyperFrames composition currently have to know which Tailwind browser script to add and where to place it. The first pass added `--tailwind`, but review caught three production-facing gaps: the CDN version was major-only, the insertion helper could silently no-op on compact HTML, and the render pipeline did not explicitly wait for Tailwind's async browser compilation before capturing frame 0.
There is also a version-specific agent risk: HyperFrames `init --tailwind` uses Tailwind v4.2 through `@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4`, while `packages/studio` still uses Tailwind v3. Without a dedicated skill, agents can easily mix v3 `tailwind.config.js` / `@tailwind` patterns into v4 browser-runtime composition HTML.
## What this fixes
- Adds `hyperframes init --tailwind`.
- Pins the Tailwind browser runtime to `@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4/dist/index.global.js` with SRI and `crossorigin="anonymous"`.
- Injects a `window.__tailwindReady` promise next to the browser runtime.
- Makes frame capture wait for `window.__tailwindReady` in both screenshot and BeginFrame capture modes before capturing frame 0.
- Inserts Tailwind support before `</head>` case-insensitively, including single-line/minified heads, and falls back to prepending when there is no head tag.
- Skips recursive Tailwind injection under `.git`, `dist`, and `node_modules`.
- Tracks whether init used Tailwind in the existing `init_template` telemetry event.
- Adds a first-party `/tailwind` skill for Tailwind v4.2 browser-runtime HyperFrames composition work.
- Updates README, docs, generated project agent files, CLI skill guidance, and plugin metadata so the Tailwind skill is discoverable.
- Documents the browser-runtime tradeoff and production/offline guidance.
## Root cause
`scaffoldProject()` copied the selected example and patched media placeholders, then immediately wrote project metadata and `package.json`. There was no optional post-copy step for framework-specific HTML support. The initial Tailwind post-copy step also treated the browser runtime like a static script, but Tailwind compiles utilities asynchronously after scanning the DOM, so the capture engine needed an explicit readiness contract.
On the agent side, the repo exposed HyperFrames, CLI, GSAP, registry, and runtime adapter skills, but had no Tailwind-specific instruction to separate the v4 browser-runtime composition path from Studio's v3 internal setup.

- Captured agent-browser-driven recording: `/Users/miguel07code/.codex/worktrees/pr-577-tailwind-comments/tmp/agent-browser-proof/tailwind-skill.webm`.
## Notes
- This still intentionally uses Tailwind's browser runtime rather than adding a generated Tailwind build pipeline. That keeps `hyperframes init --tailwind` small and compatible with the current no-install generated project workflow.
- The `/tailwind` skill cites official Tailwind v4 docs plus community skill references, but its instructions are HyperFrames-specific and tuned for the pinned v4.2 browser runtime.
- Browser proof artifacts are local-only under `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/` and `tmp/agent-browser-proof/` and intentionally not committed.
## Problem
HyperFrames already had `--gpu`, but that flag only controlled FFmpeg hardware encoding. The browser capture path still forced Chrome/WebGL through SwiftShader software GL via `--use-angle=swiftshader`, so WebGL-heavy local renders could leave the biggest bottleneck on the CPU path.
That made the existing flag naming easy to misread: `--gpu` sounded like it accelerated the whole render, but it did not change the browser frame-capture backend.
## What this fixes
- Enables host browser GPU acceleration automatically for local CLI renders.
- Adds `--no-browser-gpu` as the local opt-out for software Chrome/WebGL capture.
- Keeps `--browser-gpu` as an explicit local browser-GPU request.
- Adds `browserGpuMode: "software" | "hardware"` to engine config, with `PRODUCER_BROWSER_GPU_MODE` env support for lower-level producer users.
- Keeps Docker browser capture on the deterministic software path.
- Maps hardware browser GPU mode to platform-native Chrome backends:
- macOS: Metal-backed ANGLE
- Windows: D3D11-backed ANGLE
- Linux: EGL
- Blocks explicit `--browser-gpu --docker` with a clear error because Docker browser GPU passthrough is not cross-platform.
- Clarifies docs so `--gpu` means FFmpeg encoder GPU and browser GPU means Chrome/WebGL capture GPU.
- Keeps encoder backend selection auto-detected from FFmpeg capabilities:
- NVIDIA: NVENC
- macOS: VideoToolbox
- Linux: VAAPI
- Intel: QSV
## Why two flags
There are two separate GPU surfaces in the render pipeline:
1. Browser GPU controls Chrome frame capture.
- Affects WebGL, canvas, CSS rendering, compositing, and screenshot capture inside the browser.
- This is enabled automatically for local CLI renders.
- Use `--no-browser-gpu` when you want the software browser baseline.
2. `--gpu` controls FFmpeg video encoding.
- Affects the final encode step after frames have already been captured.
- The concrete encoder is auto-detected from the host FFmpeg build and hardware.
- It can be faster for some machines/codecs, but it is not equivalent to browser rendering acceleration.
The controls stay independent because users may want:
- `hyperframes render` for the fast local default with browser GPU capture.
- `hyperframes render --no-browser-gpu` for the software-browser local baseline.
- `hyperframes render --gpu` for browser GPU capture plus hardware FFmpeg encoding.
- `hyperframes render --no-browser-gpu --gpu` for software browser capture plus hardware FFmpeg encoding.
- `hyperframes render --docker` for deterministic browser capture.
## Why `--gpu` does not imply browser GPU
Keeping `--gpu` scoped to FFmpeg encoding avoids a semantic break and keeps the risk profile explicit:
- `--gpu` already means encoder acceleration. Expanding it to also change Chrome capture would silently alter behavior for users who only wanted hardware encoding.
- Browser GPU and encoder GPU have different portability. Encoder GPU can work in Docker when the host exposes the right devices; browser GPU passthrough is not cross-platform, so this PR intentionally blocks explicit `--browser-gpu --docker`.
- The Apple presentation benchmark shows why the controls should stay separate: browser GPU capture was the useful improvement, while macOS VideoToolbox via `--gpu` was slower and produced larger output for this `standard` H.264 run.
If HyperFrames later wants a single umbrella acceleration control, it should be explicit, for example `--acceleration browser|encoder|all` or `--gpu=browser|encoder|all`, rather than changing the meaning of the existing boolean `--gpu`.
## Root cause
`buildChromeArgs()` always injected `--use-gl=angle --use-angle=swiftshader`. `disableGpu` only appended `--disable-gpu`; it did not provide a hardware-GPU mode. That made the public `--gpu` flag look broader than it was, because render capture stayed software-backed even when encoder GPU was requested.

### Apple presentation benchmark
Rendered `/Users/miguel07code/Downloads/apple-presentation.zip` as supplied after extracting to `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/apple-presentation`.
Fixed settings:
- 1920x1080
- 30fps
- `standard` quality
- 4240 frames
- 141.32s duration
- 8-worker cap; render auto-calibration used 6 capture workers
- macOS host detected FFmpeg GPU encoder: `videotoolbox`
| Mode | Equivalent flags after this PR | Wall time | vs software-browser baseline | Speed | Capture | Encode | Output |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Software browser + CPU encode | `--no-browser-gpu` | 120.77s | baseline | 1.17x | 97.87s | 10.04s | 8.38MB |
| Browser GPU + CPU encode | default local render | 70.10s | 42.0% faster | 2.02x | 50.72s | 9.91s | 8.39MB |
| Software browser + encoder GPU | `--no-browser-gpu --gpu` | 133.16s | 10.3% slower | 1.06x | 103.58s | 18.31s | 25.43MB |
| Browser GPU + encoder GPU | `--gpu` | 74.12s | 38.6% faster | 1.91x | 46.69s | 17.93s | 25.45MB |
Result: browser GPU capture is the meaningful improvement for this WebGL/browser-capture-heavy presentation. VideoToolbox encoding was slower and produced larger files for this current `standard` H.264 path, so `--gpu` should stay separate and opt-in.
Why `--gpu` plus browser GPU was slower than browser GPU alone: the combined run captured about 4.0s faster than browser GPU alone, but VideoToolbox encoding was about 8.0s slower than CPU x264 encoding, so the encode loss outweighed the capture gain.
### VideoToolbox flag check
I also isolated the encode stage against the already-captured Apple frames to check whether macOS GPU encoding only needed special flags.
`ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_videotoolbox` does not expose a CRF/CQ-style quality option like x264. It exposes bitrate-oriented and VideoToolbox-specific options such as `-b:v`, `-realtime`, `-profile`, `-coder`, `-prio_speed`, `-power_efficient`, and `-allow_sw`. That means our current `-q:v` mapping is not equivalent to x264 CRF and can produce very different bitrate/size behavior.
Measured full-frame encode variants on this host:
| VideoToolbox variant | Encode wall time | Output size | Bitrate |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Current `-q:v 64 -allow_sw 1` | 18.76s | 25.31MB | 1.43 Mbps |
| Current without `-allow_sw 1` | 18.21s | 25.31MB | 1.43 Mbps |
| `-b:v 500k -maxrate 750k -bufsize 1000k -profile high -coder cabac -realtime 1 -prio_speed 1 -power_efficient 0` | 20.58s | 7.42MB | 0.42 Mbps |
| Same with `-b:v 1500k` | 20.84s | 16.70MB | 0.95 Mbps |
| `-b:v 500k -profile baseline -coder cavlc -realtime 1 -prio_speed 1 -power_efficient 0` | 18.11s | 8.94MB | 0.51 Mbps |
Conclusion: VideoToolbox can be made size/bitrate-predictable with explicit `--video-bitrate`, but the tested speed-oriented flags did not make it faster than CPU x264 wall time for this render. That reinforces keeping `--gpu` encoder acceleration explicit and separate from browser GPU capture.
Artifacts from the local benchmark:
- `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/results/cpu.mp4`
- `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/results/browser-gpu.mp4`
- `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/results/encoder-gpu.mp4`
- `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/results/full-gpu.mp4`
- `/tmp/hf-apple-profile/results/summary.json`
All four benchmark MP4s completed `ffprobe` and full `ffmpeg -f null` decode checks.
### Pixel comparison
Compared decoded MP4 output between software-browser and browser-GPU renders:
- Apple presentation:
- 4240 frames compared
- 636 exact matching decoded frame hashes
- 3604 different decoded frame hashes
- Average PSNR: 57.79 dB
- `css-spinner-render-compat` clean fixture:
- 120 frames compared
- 0 exact matching decoded frame hashes
- Average PSNR: 61.57 dB
Interpretation: browser GPU output is not strict hash/pixel-identical to the software-browser path after lossy H.264 encode, but the measured deltas are visually tiny. Above 50 dB PSNR is typically visually indistinguishable for normal video review. Use `--no-browser-gpu` or Docker when strict cross-run/cross-machine reproducibility matters more than local speed.
### Browser verification
- Started HyperFrames Studio preview for `packages/producer/tests/css-spinner-render-compat/src`.
- Used `agent-browser` to open `http://localhost:5191#project/src` and verify the composition loaded in Studio.
- Screenshots:
- `/tmp/hf-gpu-browser-proof/preview-loaded.png`
- `/tmp/hf-gpu-browser-proof/preview-playing.png`
- `/tmp/hf-gpu-browser-proof/preview-frame-60.png`
- Agent-browser recordings:
- `/tmp/hf-gpu-browser-proof/preview-playback.webm`
- `/tmp/hf-gpu-browser-proof/preview-seek.webm`
## Notes
- Browser GPU is enabled automatically for local CLI renders and disabled in Docker.
- `--no-browser-gpu` is the opt-out for software Chrome/WebGL capture.
- `--gpu` remains encoder-only and opt-in.
- The Apple presentation zip has existing lint errors around unmanaged nested videos and imperative media `play()` calls. The benchmark still compares the same supplied source across modes, but it should not be treated as a clean deterministic-composition fixture.
## Problem
The Catalog did not include the four prompt-matched Stronkter one-shot HyperFrames projects, and registry metadata only supported a plain author string, so there was no structured way to show creator attribution or the original generation prompt on generated catalog pages.
## What this fixes
- Adds four Catalog blocks matching the provided prompts, in order:
- `north-korea-locked-down`
- `apple-money-count`
- `nyc-paris-flight`
- `goonvpn-youtube-spot`
- Attributes each block to [Stronkter](https://x.com/Stronkter).
- Stores and renders the original source prompt for each generated catalog page.
- Adds a local realistic map plate for the North Korea block so rendering does not depend on live map tile requests.
- Extends registry item metadata/schema with `authorUrl` and `sourcePrompt`.
- Updates catalog page generation to read items from `registry/registry.json`, keeping generated docs aligned to the public registry manifest.
- Ignores normal browser media preload `net::ERR_ABORTED` request failures for media assets during `hyperframes validate`, while preserving failures for real missing assets.
## Root cause
The imported projects are Catalog-ready compositions, but the registry/docs pipeline did not have first-class source-prompt or linked-author fields to expose creator credit on generated MDX pages. The audio-backed compositions also surfaced a validation edge case: Chrome can report aborted media preload requests as `net::ERR_ABORTED` even when the audio file exists and playback is valid.

- `goonvpn-youtube-spot`
## Notes
- The zip also contained unrelated project directories, but this PR intentionally includes only the four prompt-matched Catalog blocks requested here.
- The imported one-shot compositions may trigger the existing large-composition lint warning, but there are no lint errors and runtime validation passes.
* 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

Add dynamic resolution to shader transitions and update Skeleton A
to use shaders on vertical compositions.
shader-transitions changes:
- webgl.ts: read dimensions from params instead of hardcoded constants
- capture.ts: accept width/height for html2canvas
- hyper-shader.ts: read data-width/data-height from composition root
skill + docs changes:
- Skeleton A now has 1 shader at hero reveal (s3→s4 midpoint)
- Removed "no shaders on vertical" limitation from docs
- Updated claude-design.mdx known limitations section
