handleDomZIndexReorderCommit no longer swallows per-entry save failures: it settles every
patch, and on any rejection rolls back the eager DOM z-index/position and the optimistic
store zIndex before rejecting, so a failed save cannot leave the UI showing a stacking order
that never persisted or let an ordered-after timing write proceed.
Also removes the dead targetTrack parameter threaded through the timeline edit helpers;
vertical placement is owned by the z-index intent.
Ninth PR of the template-variables stack: the promote-a-property gesture.
Select an element on the canvas/timeline, open the Variables tab, and the
panel offers per-property bind actions.
- "Bind selected" card in the Variables panel, built from the selection:
image/media source (img/video/audio), text, text color, background, and
font. Each action declares a variable whose default is the element's
CURRENT value (promoting never changes the render — computed rgb colors
convert to hex, the first computed font family becomes the font default)
and writes the declarative binding the runtime resolves: data-var-src /
data-var-text attributes or `<prop>: var(--id)` styles. Declare + bind
run as one batched schema edit (one undo step); binding to an
already-declared id skips the declare and just binds.
- guarded to selections from the composition the session models — a
selection in another source file never writes bindings into this one.
- core: extract readVariablesForElement into runtime/variableScope.ts,
shared by color grading and the declarative bindings (was duplicated).
- fix(studio-server): buildSubCompositionHtml's extractElementAttrs
rebuilt html/body attributes without HTML-escaping values, shredding
quote-bearing attributes — data-composition-variables (a JSON array)
came out as mangled bogus attributes, so getVariables() silently
returned {} on every /preview/comp/* page (no declared defaults, no
runtime bindings). Pre-existing bug surfaced by live-testing this
feature; regression test added.
Verified end-to-end in a live session: select headline → Bind text color
→ declaration + var(--headline-color) written to disk → override in the
panel → runtime applies the custom prop and the element renders the
override.

Sixth PR of the template-variables Studio stack — closing the loop from
preview to render to developer handoff.
- renders started from the Renders tab now carry the active preview
variable overrides (StartRenderOptions.variables → POST /render →
RenderConfig.variables), so "render" produces exactly what the user is
previewing.
- Variables panel "Use this template" footer: copy the effective values
(defaults merged with overrides) as JSON, or as a ready-to-run
`npx hyperframes render <comp> --variables '<json>'` command.
- gitignore: negate the renders/ output rule for the tracked
src/components/renders/ source dir — without it, pre-commit's format
re-stage (`git add {staged_files}`) hard-fails on any change to those
files.
- docs: the Studio panel docs/concepts/variables.mdx described was
aspirational — replace with the real Variables-in-Studio section
(declare/edit, render-truthful preview, render-with-values, handoff,
usage badges); document the new SDK variable APIs in
docs/sdk/reference/composition.mdx (declaration ops, read APIs,
setPreviewVariables).

Fourth PR of the template-variables Studio stack — the HTTP plumbing.
- preview routes (/preview and /preview/comp/*) accept
?variables=<url-encoded json> and inject
`window.__hfVariables = {...}` into <head>, before the runtime and any
composition script — the exact global the engine sets via
evaluateOnNewDocument at render time, so preview-with-values cannot
diverge from render output. Values are escaped against </script>
breakout, malformed payloads 400 instead of silently previewing
defaults, and the ETag is salted with a hash of the payload so cached
previews revalidate when values change.
- POST /projects/:id/render accepts variables ({variableId: value}) and
forwards them through StudioApiAdapter.startRender into the producer's
RenderConfig.variables — the same channel `hyperframes render
--variables` uses. Wired in both adapters (CLI embedded server + vite
dev adapter).

Follow-up to the previous commit in this PR — found while auditing whether
any SDK-surface documentation gaps existed beyond this stack:
- types.mdx: EditOp's own union listing was missing declareVariable/
removeVariable (present in edit-operations.mdx's table but not mirrored
here). Adds a full CompositionVariable reference section (base fields +
all 7 variants) since composition.mdx's new declareVariable/listVariables
docs reference it without it being defined anywhere in the type reference.
- utilities.mdx: documents 6 exported functions with zero prior docs —
resolveScoped, findById, bareId, escapeHfId, isNewHostBoundary (Id & Scope
Utilities) and readVariableDefault (Variable Utilities). Pre-existing gaps,
unrelated to this stack.
- canvas-integration.mdx: adds a "Keeping the preview in sync" section
covering attachSync right where the guide already sets up preview + comp —
previously the guide never mentioned it despite being exactly the answer
to "how do I keep the iframe in sync with edits."
- Script-mirror filter changed from an exact "/script/gsap" match to
path.startsWith("/script/") — the documented contract is "never mirror
script-tag rewrites," not just today's one known path; startsWith covers
any future script-kind patch under the same intent.
- _syncDetach is now cleared when the caller invokes the returned detach
function directly, not only on the next attachSync call — avoids holding
a stale (already-unsubscribed) reference between an explicit detach() and
a later attachSync(other).
- The initial applyOverrideSet call is now wrapped in try/catch: a bad
initial snapshot no longer prevents the ongoing patch subscription from
attaching, matching the SDK's existing swallow-and-warn precedent for
silent-failure paths (adapters/iframe.ts's tainted-canvas warning).
- Added a test proving declareVariable/removeVariable (the /variable-decls/
patches PR #2098 introduces) mirror onto the live document's
data-composition-variables attribute — the existing suite only covered
setVariableValue's CSS-custom-property path, not the schema-metadata path.
These SDK reference docs were behind the API surface: PR #2100's attachSync
had zero documentation, and PR #2098/#2092's declareVariable, removeVariable,
getVariableValue, listVariables, and getRootElements were all missing from
composition.mdx despite being real public Composition methods. getAllAnimationIds
was also undocumented (pre-existing gap, unrelated to this stack).
- composition.mdx: adds getVariableValue, listVariables, declareVariable,
removeVariable (Typed edit methods), getRootElements, getAllAnimationIds
(Query section)
- adapters.mdx: adds attachSync to the PreviewAdapter interface + a
ParamField documenting its contract (immediate sync, ongoing patch
mirroring, script-patch exclusion, detach semantics)
- edit-operations.mdx: adds declareVariable/removeVariable rows + examples
to the Variables op table
setVariableValue is the headline case the sync spec was built for and
had no coverage; setTiming (data-start/data-end mirroring) was also
untested. Both regression-checked by temporarily breaking the
underlying mutate/apply-patches code paths and confirming the new
assertions fail.
PlaygroundPreview implements PreviewAdapter but was missing attachSync,
which this branch added to the interface — a real TS break (no
typecheck script wires sdk-playground into CI, so nothing caught it).
Mirrors the same no-op stub already added to HeadlessPreviewAdapter.
Adds attachSync(comp) to PreviewAdapter/IframePreviewAdapter — does an
immediate full sync via the existing applyOverrideSet, then subscribes to
comp.on('patch', ...) and replays every future patch (forward or inverse —
undo/redo included) via the existing applyPatchesToDocument, pointed at the
iframe's live document instead of the offscreen linkedom one. No new
mutation logic; both functions already work against any
{document, wrapped, stamped}-shaped object.
Also adds a no-op attachSync stub to HeadlessPreviewAdapter, required to
keep it satisfying the widened PreviewAdapter interface.
Closes the gap that made pacific's canvas-react hand-roll its own
override-application code (applyOverrideToIframe.ts) with two separate
mechanisms (diffing for normal edits, verbatim op-replay for undo/redo) —
subscribing to the patch stream directly needs only one.
- validateOp now handles declareVariable/removeVariable (E_NO_ROOT when no
composition root), matching setVariableValue's existing case — previously
comp.can() returned E_UNKNOWN_OP for both.
- removeVariable's undo-inverse now tags its {decl, index} reinsert payload
with __kind: "reinsert" instead of relying on structural "decl"/"index"
key presence to disambiguate it from a plain declareVariable patch.
VariableDecl has an open index signature, so a real variable schema could
legally declare its own "decl"/"index" fields and be misinterpreted by the
old structural check; a regression test pins the exact collision.
- getVariableValue's return type tightened from `unknown` to
`string | number | boolean | FontValue | ImageValue | undefined`, matching
setVariableValue's parameter type for round-trip symmetry. The underlying
unknown-typed read is cast once at this SDK boundary.
- Added a redo test for declareVariable/removeVariable (existing tests only
covered undo).
Closes the remaining Tier 2/3 gaps from the SDK surface audit that motivated
#2092 — real, contained fixes short of the two genuinely architectural items
(a live-DOM apply adapter, structural editing ops) that need their own design
pass, not a quick patch.
Variable CRUD was write-only and creation-blocked: setVariableValue existed,
but there was no getVariableValue, listVariables, declareVariable, or
removeVariable — and writeVariableDefault intentionally refuses to create an
undeclared variable ("keep the schema authoritative"), so a variables panel
(list what exists, read current values, let someone add one) could not be
built against the SDK at all.
- getVariableValue(id) / listVariables(): thin reads over the existing
readVariableDefault / a new listVariableDecls.
- declareVariable(decl) / removeVariable(id): new EditOps with full
undo/redo support via a new patch path (/variable-decls/{id}, distinct
from /variables/{id} which is default-only) — removeVariable's inverse
bundles the original array index so undo reinserts at the same position
instead of appending, mirroring handleRemoveElement's siblingIndex.
Export gaps (same shape as #2092's fixes — the logic already existed,
just wasn't reachable): resolveScoped, findById, escapeHfId from
engine/model.ts; readVariableDefault from engine/variableModel.ts.
17 new tests across mutate.test.ts (declareVariable/removeVariable engine
semantics + undo), session.test.ts (Composition-level API), and smoke.test.ts
(export-surface import check). 439/439 sdk tests passing. Full workspace
build (incl. studio) verified clean.
Documents the shared-pattern context (3rd copy of "resolve relative
data-start", after runtime startResolver.ts and the SDK's own
getElementTimings) and explains when the raw parseFloat fallback in
resolveStart's else branch can actually fire (a malformed grammar string
with a leading number). Adds a test pinning the "reference target exists
but its own timing is unresolvable" branch, which existing tests didn't
cover (only "target doesn't exist" was tested).
Cross-checked the negative-offset clamp concern raised in review: the
SDK's own resolveReferenceStart (session.ts) also clamps to
Math.max(0, ...), so this stays consistent with its sibling — no code
change needed there.
Same bug class as the SDK's getElementTimings fix (#2092): data-start can be a
relative-reference expression ("intro", "intro + 2"), not just an absolute
number. The old code did a raw parseFloat on it, so any reference silently
resolved to undefined instead of an actual time.
Also: this function never read data-duration at all (only data-start/data-end
literally), so a reference to a duration-authored (not end-authored) clip was
unresolvable regardless of the parseFloat bug — resolving a reference needs
the target's END, which for a duration-authored clip requires start+duration.
Both fixed together via the shared parseStartExpression grammar parser
(@hyperframes/core/runtime/start-expression), with the same cycle-guard
pattern as the SDK fix. Reference resolution against other elements is scoped
to this file's existing findById (bare data-hf-id lookup).
6 new tests: duration-based end resolution, relative reference (with and
without offset), missing target, and a mutual-cycle termination check.
## What
`applyPositionEdits(doc)` in `@hyperframes/core/runtime/position-edits` guarded each candidate element with `instanceof HTMLElement`. `doc` is frequently an iframe's document (the SDK's edit preview, any host embedding a composition), whose elements are `HTMLElement` instances of *that frame's realm* — never this module's. The check silently no-ops on every single element cross-realm, so bulk position edits never apply inside an iframe.
## Why
Found during an audit of `@hyperframes/sdk`'s surface against pacific's movio integration. Pacific's `canvas-react` code has an explicit workaround comment for this exact bug: *"Upstream fix would be duck-typing in `@hyperframes/core` — until then, all host code must use this wrapper."* Every iframe-hosted consumer has had to reimplement the bulk-apply loop themselves to avoid it.
## How
Use the document's own realm's `HTMLElement` constructor (`doc.defaultView?.HTMLElement`) instead of the module-scope global. Duck-type on `.style` when `defaultView` is unavailable (a detached/synthetic document). The single-element `applyPositionEditToElement` was already realm-safe — only the bulk wrapper had the bug.
## Test plan
- [x] New regression test using a real jsdom iframe — confirmed it fails on the old `instanceof HTMLElement` check (0 applied, expected 1) and passes with the fix
- [x] Full existing `positionEdits.test.ts` suite passes (14/14)
- [x] Full `@hyperframes/core` suite passes (81 files / 1131 tests)
- [x] `bun run build` clean (core + full workspace, incl. studio)
A figma text node whose box is shorter than its line-height carries
vertically-trimmed (cap-to-baseline) bounds. The mapper positioned the box
at those bounds but let the browser lay glyphs with half-leading, pushing
them ~6px low on a 70px font (glyph-centroid measurement against figma's
own render: +9.1px vs figma's +3.4px inside the same pill). Emitting
text-box-trim: trim-both / text-box-edge: cap alphabetic reproduces the
trim in the render engine; post-fix centroid agrees within 0.4px and the
motion verifier's min window score improved 20.3 -> 25.3dB. Trim applies
only to single-line trimmed text; boxes matching their line-height are
untouched.
Skill: component imports now include a static fidelity self-check step
against figma's PNG export of the same node.

* fix(cli): bump @puppeteer/browsers to ^3.0.6 to fix render hang on node >=24.16
`hyperframes render` (and `browser ensure --force`) hangs forever during
Chrome provisioning on Node >= 24.16 (repro'd on macOS arm64 / Node 26.5.0;
fine on Node 22). Root cause is a transitive extractor bug, not our logic:
@puppeteer/browsers@2.13.x install()
-> extract-zip@2.0.1 -> yauzl@2.10.0
A classic-stream backpressure regression (nodejs/node#63487, works 24.15,
breaks 24.16+) surfaces a latent fd-slicer destroy() bug in yauzl 2.x
(yauzl#169). The inflate read stream stalls partway through the first entry
large enough to cross the write highWaterMark (chrome-headless-shell's
1.86MB LICENSE.headless_shell, stalls at ~1.31MB), never emits `end`, so
stream.pipeline never settles and extraction busy-spins. The half-extracted
cache has no executable, so every later render re-enters
"Cached binary missing -> re-download" and hangs again (puppeteer#14957).
Fix: @puppeteer/browsers 3.0.2 dropped extract-zip/yauzl entirely (now uses
modern-tar). Verified 3.0.6 extracts chrome-headless-shell cleanly under
Node 26.5.0 and keeps the full API manager.ts uses (install,
getInstalledBrowsers, Cache, computeExecutablePath, detectBrowserPlatform,
Browser) with an identical on-disk cache layout. Cross-platform (the same
.zip/yauzl path affected Linux + Windows too).
Adds a regression guard asserting the pin stays on the extractor-free
major (>= 3) and never reintroduces extract-zip/yauzl.
Fixes#2103

* chore(cli): clarify extractor-guard wording — yauzl is an optional peer, not dropped entirely
Review note on #2104: @puppeteer/browsers 3.0.6 keeps yauzl as an optional
peer fallback (default extractor is modern-tar), so the regression-guard
comment + it-text shouldn't say it was 'dropped entirely'. Test assertions
(extract-zip + yauzl absent from `dependencies`) unchanged and correct.

A base `gsap.set(...)` written AFTER the tween calls is wiped on the next
soft reload: when a `from()` tween on the same target lazily initializes
during a backwards render (the studio rebind's progress(0.0001) kick), GSAP
reverts its internal isFromStart set, which removes the whole inline
`transform` — taking the base set's x/y with it. The from() tween then
re-parses the computed transform as identity and bakes x/y = 0 into the
GSAP cache, so every element previously moved in the studio snaps back to
its authored position whenever any other element is edited.
Emitting the global set BEFORE the timeline construction makes it part of
the pre-tween state the from() records, so every revert restores the moved
pose instead of stripping it.
- addAnimationToScript: global sets insert above the timeline declaration;
the new-id lookup now diffs content-based ids instead of assuming the
appended statement is last in source order.
- updateAnimationInScript: a legacy trailing global set is relocated above
the declaration whenever it's touched, healing files written before this
change on the next nudge.
