* fix(engine): say why WSL renders fall back to software and how to get the GPU
Under WSL the GPU check often falls back to SwiftShader and the only output
was the probe line, with Docker passthrough advice for --browser-gpu. Print
one note that says what was checked (can this user open the render node),
the exact fix, and the native Windows alternative. The CLI's WSL detector
moves to the engine so both use one.
Part of #5548
* fix(engine): keep WSL GPU notes true to the probe result and render mode
The WSL note now prints only when auto mode really selects software, and
says whether the GPU check found no GPU or could not finish. Explicit
--browser-gpu keeps its unverified and Chrome-install advice and adds the
WSL checks. The render-node check verifies group membership before
suggesting usermod.
Use parseEncoderOptions from @hyperframes/studio-server in /render and
/render/stream so the producer server takes the same crf, videoBitrate,
videoFrameFormat and hdrMode as the studio render route, with the same
rules and messages. crf and videoBitrate are forwarded to the render job
and are ignored for mov; a bad value is a 400 (an SSE error event on the
stream route). The studio-server package gains an encoder-options subpath
export so the producer imports the helper instead of copying it.
An hdrMode that disagrees with outputDynamicRange is still rejected, as
before, so there is no precedence to resolve between the two.

#4564 routes SDR colour through `format=gbrp`. Without accurate_rnd,
swscale's yuv-to-gbrp conversion leaves the last 8 columns black when the
width is 16n + 8 (1000, 1080, 1112...), so every 1080x1920 portrait MP4
since 0.8.81 has had an 8 px black strip on the right. The same step in
SDR jpg frame extraction blanked the right edge of footage at those widths.
Set accurate_rnd on the yuv-to-gbrp scale in both chains. It is also the
more accurate rounding: on a testsrc2 frame, worst luma error against a
float reference drops from 1.85 to 0.90 codes.
Fixes#5551

The opt-in `cfr` step in assemble() re-encoded every mp4 at libx264
medium / CRF 18 regardless of how the chunks were encoded, so a render
asked for at CRF 12 (or quality "high", or a target bitrate) came out at
CRF 18 whenever cfr was on. It now reads quality / crf / bitrate from
meta/encoder.json and applies the same rate control the chunks used:
crf, else bitrate, else the quality preset's CRF. Default (standard, no
override) is unchanged: medium / 18.

* feat(studio-server): accept a crf override on the render route
The Studio render route only forwarded draft/standard/high, so a Studio or
desktop export could not ask for a specific CRF the way `hyperframes render
--crf` can. Film-grain finishing passes need CRF 12 to keep the grain.
The route now takes an optional integer `crf` (0-51 for mp4, 0-63 for webm),
rejects an out-of-range value with 400 instead of dropping it, ignores it for
mov, and both Studio adapters pass it to the render job.

* feat(studio-server): accept videoBitrate, videoFrameFormat and hdrMode on the render route
Same options `hyperframes render` already takes (--video-bitrate,
--video-frame-format, --sdr/--hdr), so Studio callers are not limited to
the quality presets. crf and videoBitrate are an either/or, matching the CLI;
an invalid value is a 400. Parsing moves to helpers/encoderOptions.ts.

The summary overstated snapshot retention, history turns, and video state.
It also left out the new artifact paths and nullable keyframe times.
* feat(cli): save check, snapshot and render artifacts per revision
* fix(cli): keep clean --snapshots inside the project
A symlinked .hyperframes or artifacts folder was followed, so the command
deleted snapshot and check files outside the project.
* test(cli): keep check, snapshot, and render successful when recording fails
A held history or a corrupt output registry warns and leaves the command result alone.
* fix(cli): drop snapshot records when a replaced run is not recorded
A reused --output rewrites the files even when history is busy.
Those records are removed so the old revision does not keep the new pixels.
The preview checkpoint stops waiting after five seconds.
A bad PNG header no longer fails the snapshot.
* fix(studio-server): keep the video-state comment share from rising
The forget helper's doc comment pushed the file above its base share.
* fix(cli): post the preview checkpoint and keep cleanup inside artifacts
A preview checkpoint with no body was sent as GET, so Studio never ran it.
Cleanup now requires the real path to stay under the artifacts folder.
A failed follow-up drop does not warn twice.
The studio-server unpacked budget covers the record-dropping helper.

* fix(keyframes): report unresolved GSAP timing instead of guessing rest poses
* fix(keyframes): drop later times when a delay cannot be resolved
Boolean(null) treated an unreadable delay as no delay,
so the next cursor-relative tween kept a guessed start.
* fix(keyframes): keep a staggered rest pose in Studio
The parser stops are what Studio holds, so a staggered from keeps its rest
pose there. The CLI reports that pose as unresolved, and an unread position
no longer seeds the next tween at zero.
onnxruntime's 1DS telemetry, on by default in its macOS wheels, can abort the
Python process at exit when an upload response races teardown. execFileSync
then throws for a line whose WAV was already written, and the audio skill drops
it as non-fatal.

* feat(cli): guard history turns with --exclusive, --who and --if-open
* fix(cli): make exclusive history turns atomic
Re-read the open turn only after acquiring history ownership so
concurrent exclusive begins cannot both claim the same project.
Cover the race with a deterministic two-process regression test.
* fix(cli): refuse a second exclusive turn while a preview is open
The preview's begin window now rejects another agent's live turn, and an
idle turn no longer blocks exclusive begin. The two-process test waits on
pids collected from claim drafts instead of seeing both files at once.
A title or body edit fires ci, regression and windows-render again on the
same head commit. When the previous run of that workflow on the commit
passed, Detect changes now reports no changes, so the check jobs skip and
their required checks still pass. Base changes, first runs and runs whose
predecessor failed, was cancelled or is unfinished still run everything.

* fix(core): a render keeps a fromTo's from-values when a frame lands just after its start
The frame redraw steps to 1 ms below the frame and back. When a tween starts
inside that 1 ms, the step down reverts its from-values and the step up does
not reapply them, so a wipe bar whose opacity comes only from its from-vars was
never drawn. Reapply them for every tween whose start the step crossed, as
#5125 does for a tween starting exactly on the frame.
Adds the gsap-redraw-start-and-overlap producer fixture, which also pins that a
slow drift resumes after a short move on the same property, as in playback.

* feat(cli): HF_TOOL_CONTEXT artifact events and project lock for agent harnesses
* fix(cli): serialize stale project lock takeover
Use a short-lived break lock so only one waiter can remove a dead
holder's lock. Cover the contention path with six real processes.
* fix(cli): hold snapshot lock through finalization
Keep the project lock while contact sheets, artifact events, and frame
descriptions read captured files so another snapshot cannot replace them.
* fix(cli): recover a project lock after the breaker crashes
A killed takeover left project.lock.break in place, so later commands
waited out the timeout even though both holders were dead. Reclaim that
file only when its recorded process is dead, and compare artifact paths
after the platform resolves them.
* fix(cli): accept a killed breaker process with no signal name
Windows ends the process without reporting SIGKILL, so the regression
was failing before it checked that the leftover breaker can be reclaimed.
* fix(cli): leave a killed project-lock breaker in place
Reclaiming a dead breaker unlinks a name another process may just have
created, so two commands can hold the lock. The timeout names that file
and its pid and says to delete it to continue.
* feat(cli): scope check to a time range or a set of components
* fix(cli): keep ranged check gates truthful
Refuse ranged caption and frame gates when none of their seek times
falls inside the requested range. Make ranged motion reporting,
overlap timestamps, filtering tests, and scope documentation match.
A GSAP tween that outlives a later tween on the same target and property by a
moment takes the property back for that tail and leaves its own end value on
screen. A banner word whose drift ended 20 ms after its exit stayed in the
middle of the frame for the rest of the scene, in playback and in renders.
hyperframes check now reads every tween off the live timelines and warns on
that shape (tail up to 0.25 s), with the fix: end the earlier tween first, or
add overwrite: "auto" to the later one. Longer tails, like a slow drift that
resumes after a short move, are left alone.

* feat(inspector): element map, live inspection engine and Node runtime
* fix(inspector): reject preview reload races

query and reject mismatches. Rearm browser cleanup for failures before a
page operation starts, and cover reloads across all three live operations.
* feat(inspector): query timelines and inspect the live preview
* fix(inspector): align live timeline contracts
Keep realm-safe target detection through the restack and align
floating-point interval boundaries. Update the live group fixture and
make the private runtime entry build itself before use.
* fix(inspector): declare generated build inputs
* fix(producer): stop JPEG frame capture adding colour noise to graded footage
Standard and high renders captured page frames as JPEG at quality 95 (the
probe session and distributed chunks at 80). Chrome's encoder turns graded
colour and grain into 8x8 chroma blotches at those settings, and they survive
the final encode. Capture now uses quality 100 for standard and high, from one
owner that the in-process render, the probe session and distributed chunks
all read. Draft keeps 80. The disk estimate for JPEG frames doubles to match
the larger files.
* fix(producer): key resume and disk estimate on the capture quality
Segment resume now fingerprints the capture jpeg quality, so a resume
across a quality change re-renders instead of splicing old-quality
segments. The disk estimate allows for larger frames at any jpeg quality
above draft's 80 instead of only at exactly 100.
* fix(producer): keep segment manifest comment share at base
* fix(producer): fit capture quality comment in four lines
A sub-composition that links a shared stylesheet with a plain path like
assets/fonts.css was only looked up next to its own HTML file, so lint
reported font_family_without_font_face for fonts that stylesheet declares.
The ../ spelling is rejected by invalid_parent_traversal_in_asset_path, so
no spelling passed.
Lint still looks next to the sub-composition first and now falls back to
the project root, which is where the preview and the bundler load the link
from. Links that start with / or contain a .. segment keep their old lookup.
A folder with the stylesheet's name is skipped instead of throwing EISDIR.

* fix(media-use): transcript-cut video renders without repeated frames or a keyframe warning
transcript-cut wrote each kept range to a temporary .mkv, and ffmpeg
writes Matroska timestamps in whole milliseconds. A 30 fps frame that
belongs at 2/30 s ended up at 0.067, the final copy kept it there, and
the renderer showed the previous frame wherever a timestamp was late.
The temporary files are now .mov, which holds the frame times exactly
and still carries PCM audio, so the audio is encoded once, as before.
The cut also gets a keyframe every second. x264 on its own left them
several seconds apart, and the renderer warned about the footage this
script had just written.
Fixes#5417

* fix(media-use): transcript-cut ranges start on their first frame with any ffmpeg
ffmpeg 7 and later start a kept range that begins between two source
frames one frame late, and .mov rounds that lead-in to the millisecond,
which put the frames off the grid again. ffmpeg 6 did not do this, so
the tests passed locally and failed in CI.
Each temporary file is now written at a constant frame rate, so the
first frame of a range is at zero whichever ffmpeg runs it.

* fix(media-use): keep frame precision on transcript-cut seek boundaries
Fixes#5416.
A kept range whose boundary sits on a frame got rounded to the millisecond
twice on its way to ffmpeg, and at 29.97/30/60 fps that is enough to land just
past the frame: frame 386 at 30 fps is 12.866666 s, and -ss 12.867 starts that
segment on frame 387 instead. ffmpeg's accurate seek drops the frame, so the cut
came out a frame short from that join on and the picture drifted behind the
sound.
cutlist.mjs rounded the emitted range bounds to 3 decimals, so fmt() in
transcript-cut.mjs never saw more precision than that in the first place; fixing
only fmt() leaves the bug in place. Both now keep frame precision -- 6 decimals
in the cut list, full precision for the -ss/-to actually handed to ffmpeg --
while the 3-decimal fmt() is kept for the times that are only printed.
Measured at 30 fps: a cut of 0-1,1.0666666-3 produced 87 frames before and 88
after (frames 0-29 plus frames 32-89), with no timestamp gap at the join. 25 fps
is unaffected, as the issue notes.

* fix(media-use): honor telemetryEnabled: false from shared config in optedOut
The CLI's 'hyperframes telemetry disable' writes telemetryEnabled: false to ~/.hyperframes/config.json, but the media-use scripts' optedOut() only checked env vars, so transcribe.mjs, transcript-cut.mjs and audio-duck.mjs kept sending PostHog events for users who had opted out through the CLI.
optedOut() now also returns true when the shared config has telemetryEnabled === false, reusing the readSharedConfig() helper already in the same file. Applied byte-identically to both copies of telemetry.mjs (skills/media-use/scripts/lib and packages/cli/src/media-use/lib, per the copy-parity rule), with tests in both test files.

The WAAPI and CSS adapters wrote currentTime and then called pause().
On a running animation pause() is pending until the next animation
frame, and Chromium then sets the hold time to the time at that frame,
16.7 ms past the sought time. Pause first: writing currentTime while a
pause is pending completes it with the sought time.
An animation created after the runtime's discover seek is still running
when a render worker makes its first seek, so the first frame of each
worker chunk after the first was drawn 16.7 ms late.
* fix(registry): clamp filmed-screen's curve and vignette
Post-merge review of #5499:
- curve is clamped at 0: a negative value samples outside the frame and
folds over below about -0.32.
- the vignette factor is clamped at 0: above vignette ~1.11 it went
negative in the corners.
- README: a "previous look" line with the pre-#5499 values, noting that
the LED fade-in threshold and the trace of fringing on the focused
element are hard-coded.
The demo renders the same: at the defaults neither clamp is reached.

under a "Recorded preview" caption, with no video, whatever the visitor's
flags. The manifest now names the CDN video and poster the way the
liquid-glass blocks do; the regenerated page carries video= and poster=
instead of needsFlag.
