* feat(cli): check catches audio the render would lose or play as silence
check gains an Audio section, read from the media list the render mixes:
- error: a clip's source has no audio the render can read (its mix fails,
the film ships without sound)
- warning: a clip starts past the end of its file, or the part it plays
is silent
- info: the film has no sound at all
The bundle and media list are now built once and shared with the HDR
inspection; the audio pass runs while the browser pass does.
Fixes#2775
* fix(cli): check reports an unreadable audio source the way render handles it
A source with no audio track is refused by render's own media-type rule, now exported from the producer and called by check; a source that does not decode as audio fails the mix and stops the render.
* perf(cli): check samples a long clip at a few spots before reading all of it for silence
Sound at any spot ends the decode; a clip is only called silent after its whole played part is read.
* chore(cli): drop a comment the shared finding helper's name already says
* feat(cli): hyperframes <dir> opens the project in the app
* refactor(cli): one command-word lookup and one rewritten command line for the folder shortcut
* refactor(cli): shorten the folder shortcut comments to fit the comment ratchet
* fix(producer): deduplicate scene font faces before embedding
* fix(producer): address font deduplication review
* docs(help): document render font-face deduplication
The troubleshooting guide this section originally targeted was folded
into docs/help.mdx on main, so the section now lives under the render
troubleshooting entries there.

* docs: light mode in the studio app's palette
Light mode takes the Studio app light palette (packages/desktop index.css)
instead of the hyperframes.dev beige ground: paper, cards, ink levels and
the light accent ink for links. Plain code text uses the page ink.
Dark mode (Night) is unchanged.
* docs(examples): film rows move by hand and remix shelves stack
The Inspiration film rows drift by a script, as on the homepage
(HyperFramesShowcase): drag, a sideways swipe or shift+wheel moves a row,
and keyboard focus centres a card. Remix shelves are columns that each
stack their cards, so cards of different shapes leave no holes.
* feat(cli): skipContrastInMotion moves to HF_TOOL_CONTEXT check-review
The --skip-contrast-in-motion flag and HYPERFRAMES_CHECK_SKIP_CONTRAST_IN_MOTION
env give way to a check-review capability in HF_TOOL_CONTEXT, so only a harness
turns it on. The skill text and manifest go back to main.
* feat(cli): check-review findingFrames saves one plain frame per finding time
With HF_TOOL_CONTEXT check-review.findingFrames, every error/warning finding in
layout or contrast with a real bbox gets frameTime (the middle sample of its
longest held run, by the heldMs gap rule) and frame (the absolute path of an
unannotated full frame shared by every finding at that time). One seek and
screenshot per distinct time, capped at 60 times with errors first, into the
run's snapshot folder; not listed in snapshots, history or events. Without the
capability, output is unchanged.
* docs(cli): finding-frame comments name the check-review capability, not a flag
* fix(cli): validate finding frame times and preserve cancellation
* fix(cli): count finding frame progress toward the check deadline
* feat(cli): check-review inspect attaches the inspector's report to each framed finding
With findingFrames on, the finding-frames page is served with the
inspector's GSAP hooks. After each frame is captured, every finding framed
at that time is inspected by its data-hf-id, else its selector, and the
inspector's own report is attached as the finding's inspect field. A failed
inspection becomes that finding's { error } and never fails the check.
Without the capability nothing changes.
Drops the unused @types/mime-types devDependency that the dependency audit
flags once packages/cli/package.json is touched.
* fix(cli): stop finding inspections after cancellation
* fix(cli): reject ambiguous finding inspection targets
* fix(ci): build inspector before Windows CLI smoke
* fix(cli): parse viewport HTML with explicit server parser
* docs(examples): the inspiration page, with films and remixes to start from
The Examples page becomes Inspiration: two rows of films made with
HyperFrames, then 41 remixes of popular videos, each crediting and linking
the original post, with how to remix it in the Studio app. The rows play
one film at a time, since a second playing film drops the page from 120 to
30 fps, and they get a Pause button. The block and template tables stay.
* docs(examples): remixes honour reduced motion; one film while the dialog is open
Remix previews now follow reduced motion (read on the first render,
stopped if it turns on), and each film is a button that plays it on
purpose with sound. The film rows stop their previews while a full film
plays in the dialog, so only one film plays at a time. Two remixes get
the credit handles the app lists for them.
* docs(examples): a motion setting change keeps remix cards as they are
The shelf keeps the reduced-motion setting in a ref, so a change no
longer re-renders it and remounts every card: a playing remix, its
focus and its open instructions stay.
* docs(examples): one film at a time across the whole Inspiration page
The dialog paused only the film-row previews, so a chosen remix kept
playing behind it. Any video that starts with sound now makes each remix
card stop its own, and the film rows rest their previews while a film
with sound plays anywhere on the page.
* docs(examples): remix cards and film-row controls in the docs palette
The remix cards used Tailwind zinc greys and white, the film rows the old
green focus ring and fixed tints; they now use the palette tokens, so
they sit on the beige ground and in the Night theme like the rest.
* feat(cli): skipContrastInMotion moves to HF_TOOL_CONTEXT check-review
The --skip-contrast-in-motion flag and HYPERFRAMES_CHECK_SKIP_CONTRAST_IN_MOTION
env give way to a check-review capability in HF_TOOL_CONTEXT, so only a harness
turns it on. The skill text and manifest go back to main.
* feat(cli): check-review findingFrames saves one plain frame per finding time
With HF_TOOL_CONTEXT check-review.findingFrames, every error/warning finding in
layout or contrast with a real bbox gets frameTime (the middle sample of its
longest held run, by the heldMs gap rule) and frame (the absolute path of an
unannotated full frame shared by every finding at that time). One seek and
screenshot per distinct time, capped at 60 times with errors first, into the
run's snapshot folder; not listed in snapshots, history or events. Without the
capability, output is unchanged.
* docs(cli): finding-frame comments name the check-review capability, not a flag
* fix(cli): validate finding frame times and preserve cancellation
* fix(cli): count finding frame progress toward the check deadline
* docs: an FAQ, a free-agents page, and 30 Days as a numbered list
The FAQ answers the questions people ask the docs assistant most, each
linking to its page. Make videos with a free agent shows OpenCode's free
models in the Studio app, local models through Ollama, and how open models
scored in Code2Video. 30 Days of HyperFrames becomes one numbered row per
lesson with its film on hover, and drops a link to a section that no
longer exists.
* docs: 30 Days previews honour reduced motion and have a play button
Hovering a lesson started its film even with reduced motion on, and
keyboard and touch visitors had no way to play it. Hover previews now
follow the setting (read on the first render, and stopped if it turns
on), and each film is a button that plays and pauses on purpose.
* docs: 30 Days plays one chosen film at a time
Choosing a lesson film pauses the one chosen before, so every button
matches its film, and other rows do not preview while a film plays.
* docs: one film at a time across the whole 30 Days page
The page mounts three lesson lists, and each only paused its own films.
A chosen film now plays with sound, and any unmuted start on the page
makes every list stop its own films and drop its choice; previews stay
muted and wait while a film with sound plays.
* docs: 30 Days list in the docs palette
The lesson list used fixed black and white tints; its rules, numbers,
lines and film backgrounds now use the palette tokens, so they match the
beige ground and the Night theme.
* feat(cli): skipContrastInMotion moves to HF_TOOL_CONTEXT check-review
The --skip-contrast-in-motion flag and HYPERFRAMES_CHECK_SKIP_CONTRAST_IN_MOTION
env give way to a check-review capability in HF_TOOL_CONTEXT, so only a harness
turns it on. The skill text and manifest go back to main.
* fix(cli): satisfy comment ratchet for check capability
* docs: one Troubleshooting page, four tabs, and the start pages folded
* docs: keep how Studio app updates arrive on the help page
Folding the Studio app troubleshooting page into /help dropped its
"How updates arrive" section: the update button, Settings > Updates
and the Mac menu route, the Automatic updates toggle, and what to do
when an update stalls or cannot check. It is back word for word; every
label is still in the app.
* docs: the docs in hyperframes.dev's and the Studio app's colours
Light mode takes hyperframes.dev's look: a still of its beige light
ground, a frosted header, its ink, black pill buttons, heavy TT Norms
headlines and a light-weight description. Every other colour comes from
the Studio app: Mintlify's gray scale on the app's warm hue, article
text and catalog greys on the same tokens, and code in the browser
editor's own syntax colours. Dark mode is the app's Night palette.
* docs: code in the browser editor's colours on the hosted build too
Mintlify's hosted build ignores a custom code theme (the preview kept
GitHub's colours), so the code-theme setting goes and each colour of the
default themes (GitHub light, VS Code dark) is mapped by role to the
browser editor's colour for that role. Code blocks and the fade under the
copy button use the code token in both modes.
* docs: map the dark control keywords to the editor keyword colour
* docs(studio): the browser editor in six pages, named the browser editor
* docs(studio): mute where the editor has it, and no solo control
The audio pages still described a solo control and a group-row mute that
the editor does not render. Muting is the speaker button on an audio
track (Mute track / Unmute track), the same toggle on a selected clip,
and the Muted switch; a group is silenced through its members' tracks.
The audio reference drops its solo section for the same reason.
* feat(cli): opt-in check flag that leaves out contrast measured mid-animation
`hyperframes check --skip-contrast-in-motion`, or
HYPERFRAMES_CHECK_SKIP_CONTRAST_IN_MOTION=1, leaves out a contrast failure
measured while a GSAP tween on the text or an ancestor is running, or while
the text's cumulative opacity is below 1. Repeating tweens and tweens of 4 s
or longer (camera drifts) do not count as motion. Text no GSAP tween targets
is reported as before. With neither set, check is unchanged.
The motion state is read at the same contrast sample, with no extra seek or
screenshot.
* fix(cli): read contrast motion on current GSAP clocks
* fix(cli): keep infinite timeline motion ambient
* perf(cli): lambda deploy warms the video function so the first render does not wait for its image
A freshly deployed container-image function loads its image on first use, which added about 12 s to the first render's plan on some deploys. Deploy now invokes the function's warm action once after the stack is up (default on, --no-warm skips it). A failed warm-up prints a warning and the deploy still succeeds.
* chore(cli): move the deploy warm-up to its own file, regenerate the skills manifest
Regenerates skills-manifest.json for the lambda reference change, keeps runDeploy under the complexity gate by pulling the warm step into a helper, and leaves sam.ts untouched.
* fix(cli): the deploy warm-up asks the aws CLI for JSON output whatever the profile sets
A profile configured for text or yaml output made the reply unparseable, which printed a spurious warm-up warning.
* refactor(cli): split the reserved-concurrency notice and warm-up gate out of runDeploy
* docs(prompting): the Prompt Guide as six topic pages
* docs(prompting): call the skill the way each agent does
The overview told every own-agent user to start with /hyperframes; Codex
uses $hyperframes, and other agents have their own way. The line now
names both and keeps the caveat the old page had.
* docs(guides): media pages titled by the task people search for
* docs(guides): background fixes as a visible section; list color grading as an agreed deletion
snapshot uploaded every frame to Gemini whenever GEMINI_API_KEY or
GOOGLE_API_KEY was set, even with no flag. Frames now stay local unless
--describe is passed. A bare --describe uses the default prompt (it used
to send an empty one), --describe "question" asks a custom one, and
--describe false still works.

* chore: prepare conflict resolution against current main
* docs(aws-lambda): align long-video planning guidance with current extraction limits
* docs(aws-lambda): identify the timeout example construct
* fix(core): a self-closed audio group no longer hides the clips after it
HTML does not close a custom element on `/>`, so `<hf-audio-group id="sfx" />` takes in every
later sibling, and the runtime's inert style (`display:none`) hid them in preview, snapshot and
render. The style is now `display:contents`: an empty group still makes no box, and anything
inside one renders as written. A lint warning names the elements a group holds, and the docs and
mixing reference show the group closed.
* style(core): cut the audio group comments to the comment length limits
* fix(core): a muted audio group still hides what sits inside it
A muted bus (`data-hidden`) is hidden by an inline display:none that the bus rule outranked, so
clips inside a muted self-closed bus kept painting while their audio and video frames dropped.
* fix(producer): --workers N is a ceiling, drawElement renders keep their single worker
* docs(producer): keep the inversion predicate's doc as short as before
A sub-composition file with a <template> is mounted from the template alone, so a <style>
in its <head> (or a stylesheet link in its body) never applies in preview, snapshot or render.
Warn on it, with the fix in the message: move it inside <template>.
* fix(cli): a long video copy reports progress, resumes in 15 s pieces and stops only when stalled
* perf(core): a video copy's size box follows the stage within a fifth, not a half
* docs(cli): shorten two comments to the line limit
* fix(cli): the copy heartbeat drops a finished copy; size budgets follow the stall and progress code
* chore: size budgets rise by this change's measured bytes
