Three new lint rules that catch structural issues causing compositions
to fail silently in preview:
- root_composition_missing_data_start: Root composition needs data-start="0"
for the runtime to begin playback
- standalone_composition_wrapped_in_template: index.html should not be
wrapped in <template> (only sub-compositions use that)
- root_composition_missing_html_wrapper: index.html needs <!DOCTYPE html>
and <html> wrapper for the bundler
Also adds rawSource to LintContext so rules can inspect pre-template-stripped
HTML, and isSubComposition to linter options so rules can distinguish root
from sub-composition files.

## What
Added GSAP CDN imports to all template compositions and improved project linting to skip template placeholders.
## Why
Templates were missing GSAP script imports, causing JavaScript errors when GSAP animations tried to execute. The linter was also incorrectly flagging template placeholder values like `__VIDEO_SRC__` as missing audio sources.
## How
- Added `<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>` to all composition HTML files
- Updated `lintAudioSrcNotFound` function to skip template placeholders matching the pattern `__[A-Z_]+__`
- Fixed GSAP animation properties by adding `overwrite: "auto"` to prevent conflicts
- Replaced CSS transforms with GSAP `gsap.set()` calls for better animation control
- Moved video elements outside timed containers in some templates to avoid nesting issues
- Standardized transcript data format to use double quotes for JSON consistency
- Added proper timeline initialization with `window.__timelines = window.__timelines || {}`
- Enhanced caption styling with overflow handling and max-width constraints
## Test plan
- [x] Manual testing performed
- [x] Verified GSAP animations work correctly in all templates
- [x] Confirmed linter no longer flags template placeholders as errors
- [x] Tested video playback and audio synchronization
## Summary
- Respect `--json` flag on all lint exit paths so agents always get machine-readable output
- Separate `infoCount` from `warningCount` in linter results (was conflated)
- Display `info` vs `warning` severity distinctly in lint output
## Summary
- **Lint rules** catch media elements missing `id` (renderer silently skips them), missing `src`, `preload="none"` (blocks renderer), and video nested in timed divs (freezes playback). Upgraded `video_nested_in_timed_element` from warning to error.
- **Compiler** strips `preload="none"` from media during compilation. Runs parallel, cached keyframe interval analysis via ffprobe — warns on sparse keyframes (>2s) that cause seek failures and audio/video desync. Suggested ffmpeg command preserves audio (`-c:a copy`).
- **Pre-render lint** lints `index.html` + all `compositions/*.html` sub-compositions before render via shared `lintProject()` helper. Warns by default; `--strict` blocks on errors, `--strict-all` blocks on errors + warnings.
- **Render orchestrator** logs a hint to retry with `--workers 1` when parallel capture times out on video-heavy compositions.
- **Refactor**: extracted `runFfprobe()` + `parseProbeJson()` helpers to deduplicate ~80 lines of spawn boilerplate across 3 ffprobe functions. Extracted `shouldBlockRender()` so strict flag tests exercise production code. Shared `lintProject()` used by both `lint` and `render` commands.
## Context
Discovered during a real composition build session where:
1. `<audio>` without `id` rendered silently (preview worked fine because runtime queries `[data-start]`, but renderer queries `[id][src]`)
2. `<video>` inside timed `<div>` froze on first frame
3. `preload="none"` caused 45s renderer timeout
4. YouTube clips with sparse keyframes from `yt-dlp --download-sections` caused audio/video desync
5. Parallel workers timed out on video-heavy compositions
## Test plan
- [x] Core: 365/365 tests passing (5 new lint tests)
- [x] Engine: 24/24 tests passing
- [x] CLI: 14/14 tests passing (7 lintProject + 7 shouldBlockRender)
- [x] Lint + format hooks pass
- [ ] Manual: create a composition with `<audio data-start="0" src="test.wav">` (no id) — verify `npx hyperframes lint` catches it
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict` with lint errors — verify it blocks
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict-all` with lint warnings — verify it blocks
