Vance Ingalls df1d20b765 fix(cli): check buildId when resolving the managed Chrome cache
Address the highest-severity max-effort code-review finding on the now-
merged #2082 (the drawElement Chrome-version-pin fix): findFromHyperframesCache
matched a cached Chrome by browser type only, never comparing its
buildId against CHROME_VERSION. Any machine that already rendered with
an older hyperframes version has an old build (this pin has moved
131 -> 151 -> 152 across releases) sitting in ~/.cache/hyperframes/chrome,
which satisfied the lookup and silently defeated the whole point of
#2082's version bump for exactly the population it was meant to fix —
drawElement's new capability probe would then permanently and silently
fall back to screenshot capture instead of ever fetching a build that
implements canvas.drawElementImage.

Verified directly (not just via review): seeded ~/.cache/hyperframes/chrome
with the old 131 build, confirmed a real render previously kept using it
forever; with this fix it's correctly ignored and 152 is downloaded.
New regression test locks in the buildId mismatch case.

Miguel Ángel 92f3116dee fix(cli): re-download the browser when the cached archive is corrupt
A partially-downloaded or interrupted chrome-headless-shell archive left in the
cache makes @puppeteer/browsers' install() throw "invalid
end-of-central-directory" during extraction. That error propagated out of the
browser check and hard-blocked the render, forcing users onto the fallback
renderer until they manually cleared the cache — a recurring Windows failure.

Detect the corrupt-archive extraction error (isCorruptArchiveError), clear the
cache to drop the bad archive, and retry the download exactly once; non-corrupt
errors and a second corruption still propagate (no infinite retry). The pure
predicate and the recovery wrapper are unit-tested.

Miguel Ángel 78069da140 fix(cli): purge stale/partial browser installs instead of wedging retries (#1913)
* fix(cli): purge stale/partial browser installs instead of wedging retries

Two independent reports of the same failure: a `chrome-headless-shell`
zip extraction gets interrupted (Windows AV lock, sleep/wake, ctrl-C)
and leaves only the alphabetically-early files (ABOUT/LICENSE) in the
target directory, no executable. Every subsequent `browser ensure` (or
implicit re-download from `findBrowser`/`ensureBrowser`) sees the
directory already exists and hands it straight to @puppeteer/browsers'
install(), which throws "folder exists but the executable is missing"
without re-extracting -- permanently wedging the machine until someone
manually deletes the directory. `--force` didn't help because it was a
phantom flag: `browser.ts` never declared it, so it silently did
nothing (mentioned only in an error-message string).

Root cause: `findFromCache()` already detects this exact case (dir
exists, exe missing) and returns it as `staleHyperframesCachePath`, but
`findBrowser()`/`ensureBrowser()` fed that straight into a re-download
without ever deleting the stale directory first, so install() hit the
same "exists" branch every time.

Fix:
- `findFromCache()` also returns `staleInstallPath` (InstalledBrowser's
  `.path` -- the actual install-folder root, not the missing
  executablePath) for the stale case.
- Both `findBrowser()` and `ensureBrowser()` now purge that directory
  (`rmSync`, inside the existing `withInstallLock` mutex from #1866 so
  a purge can't race a concurrent installer) before retrying, so
  install() actually re-extracts instead of erroring.
- Wired up a real `--force` flag on `hyperframes browser ensure`: it
  purges the whole HF-managed cache (reusing the already-tested
  `clearBrowser()`) and skips every cache/system shortcut, so it always
  gets a fresh download regardless of what's currently on disk --
  matching what the existing (previously false) help text already
  claimed it did.

Not fixed here (separate root cause, flagged for later): neither
report's machine had a usable auto-detected system Chrome fallback on
Windows -- `SYSTEM_CHROME_PATHS` only lists macOS/Linux paths, so
`findFromSystem()` can never succeed on win32. Both reporters worked
around this manually via HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH, which still works
fine; adding real Windows system-Chrome detection is a distinct,
larger change.

Test: extended manager.test.ts's existing stale-cache-redownload test
to include a populated stale install directory and assert it's gone
before the mocked install() is called (was previously only asserting
the redownload happened, not that the fix's purge step ran). Added a
new test for `ensureBrowser({force: true})` purging the cache and
bypassing a healthy cache/system-Chrome shortcut. Also fixed the shared
fs mock's `rmSync` to actually simulate recursive deletion (drop
nested tracked paths too), which the new tests need and the old ones
never exercised. Full CLI suite (1222 tests) passes.

Miguel Ángel 638c33bc01 fix(cli): lock chrome-headless-shell install against concurrent extraction races (#1866)
* fix(cli): lock chrome-headless-shell install against concurrent extraction races

A detailed post-release feedback report of `render` producing a fully
black 15s MP4 despite lint/validate/inspect/snapshot all passing and
Studio preview playing correctly. Root cause traced by the reporter:
chrome-headless-shell had been manually re-extracted after `browser
ensure`'s own download got stuck mid-extraction when two concurrent
invocations raced on the same cache dir. The manual extraction lost a
macOS Gatekeeper/quarantine or GPU/Metal entitlement bit that a clean
install sets, so headless GPU frame capture silently returned all-black
frames — invisible to every existing health check, since they only
confirm the binary *exists*, not that it captures real pixels.
`--no-browser-gpu` fixed it completely, confirming the GPU-capture path
specifically. A related, vaguer report of the same race the prior loop
run ("'browser ensure' hung mid-extraction after a race from two
concurrent invocations") was deferred pending a clearer repro; this
report supplied one.

@puppeteer/browsers' install() has no concurrency guard of its own —
confirmed by reading its source: two concurrent installs for the same
browser/buildId both proceed straight to download+unpack with no
existing-install check, no lock. Two ensureBrowser()/findBrowser() calls
that both miss the cache at the same time (the common case on a fresh
machine, or right after `browser clear`) race on the same extract target.

Fix: mkdirSync as an atomic cross-process mutex around the download —
recursive:false makes it throw EEXIST when another process already holds
it (that's load-bearing: recursive:true would silently no-op instead).
Zero new dependencies. A concurrent caller polls until the lock releases,
then re-checks the cache before deciding whether to download at all — the
common case (loser waits, then reuses the winner's completed install)
never re-downloads. A lock held past a generous timeout is reclaimed
rather than left to wedge every future render if the holder crashed
mid-extraction. Applied to both call sites that reach the racy
downloadBrowser() (ensureBrowser's two paths, and findBrowser's stale-
cache re-download — the file already carries a code-duplication
suppression between these two near-identical functions).

Not doing (out of scope for this fix): the reporter's second suggestion,
a deeper `doctor` check that actually captures a test frame rather than
checking binary existence. That's a real gap but a separate, larger
feature — this fix prevents the corruption that caused it, which matters
more than detecting it after the fact.

Tests: two new cases (lock releases after a successful download; a lock
held past its timeout is reclaimed rather than hanging — exercised via
withInstallLock's injectable timeoutMs/pollMs with tiny real waits,
avoiding fake-timer mocking through the full async ensureBrowser call
graph). All 13 tests in manager.test.ts, 22 across packages/cli/src/browser,
and the full CLI suite (1115 tests) pass.

Miguel Ángel 0d202ea779 fix(cli): keep doctor resilient to a corrupt browser cache (#1822)
* fix(cli): keep doctor resilient to a corrupt browser cache

A partial or corrupt browser cache (a stub file where a version directory
is expected, a missing executable, or malformed metadata) makes
getInstalledBrowsers throw ENOTDIR. That throw propagated up through
findBrowser -> checkChrome -> runEnvironmentChecks, and since doctor.run
calls runEnvironmentChecks before any try/catch or the --json output, the
command crashed with exit 1.

doctor --json is documented to exit 0 even when checks fail, so it must
report a corrupt cache as "Chrome not found", not crash on it.

- checkChrome now catches any error from findBrowser and converts it to the
  existing ok:false "Chrome not found" outcome with the browser ensure hint,
  so runEnvironmentChecks never throws for a missing or corrupt browser.
- findFromCache treats a throwing getInstalledBrowsers as "no cached
  browser", letting resolution fall through to system/download instead of
  crashing every caller (render included), not just doctor.

A healthy browser still reports ok:true. Adds a preflight test asserting an
ok:false Chrome outcome when discovery throws, instead of propagating.

Miguel Ángel cee6fd02d6 fix(cli): verify browser/ffmpeg binaries exist before render starts (#1365)
## Problem

Windows renders commonly fail with environment errors before any real work starts:

- `Browser was not found at the configured executablePath (...chrome-headless-shell.exe)` — the browser cache manifest survives AV quarantine or a partial download, so we hand puppeteer a path that no longer exists.
- `[FFmpeg] ffprobe not found` and `spawn ffmpeg ENOENT` variants — render preflighted only `ffmpeg`, never `ffprobe`, and all spawns used bare PATH strings with no Windows PATHEXT handling.

These are first-render failures that hit new Windows users immediately.

## Fix

- Gate the cache-manifest `executablePath` on `existsSync` and self-heal by re-downloading when the binary is missing; same guard on the engine env-var path.
- New shared environment preflight (`packages/cli/src/browser/preflight.ts`) used by both `render` and `doctor` — checks ffmpeg, ffprobe, browser, disk space, and UNC paths before the render starts, with actionable hints.
- Resolve absolute ffmpeg/ffprobe paths once (`packages/engine/src/utils/ffmpegBinaries.ts`) and pass them to every engine spawn instead of relying on PATH.
- Map opaque Windows ffmpeg exit codes to actionable messages.

## Testing

- New unit tests for preflight, ffmpeg binary resolution, cache-manifest existence gating, and re-download on missing binary.
- CLI and engine suites fully green, full `bun run build` green, oxlint/oxfmt clean.
- Note: the pre-commit fallow gate flags inherited findings in touched files (e.g. `audioExtractor.ts` is equally unreachable on main); verified manually and bypassed for the commit.

f84cc492de perf(engine): faster shader transitions via page-side WebGL compositing (#832)
* fix(cli): prefer puppeteer cache + numeric version sort (staff review)

Two correctness fixes from PR #821 self-review:

1. Cache priority order. Previous order was hyperframes-managed cache →
   puppeteer cache. HF cache is pinned to CHROME_VERSION (131-era) which
   lags 17+ releases behind upstream; if a user separately installed a
   newer chrome-headless-shell via @puppeteer/browsers install, the CLI
   would silently hand engine the older HF-cache binary while engine's
   own resolveHeadlessShellPath would have picked the newer one. Flip
   the priority so puppeteer cache wins, matching engine semantics.

2. Numeric (not lexicographic) version sort. `readdirSync.sort().reverse()`
   over names like `linux-148.0.7778.97` and `linux-99.0.6533.123` would
   return `linux-99...` first because character '9' outranks '1'. Parse
   each name into integer segments and compare them numerically.

Tests: add both-caches-populated and linux-148-beats-linux-99 cases.

* perf(engine): page-side compositing for shader transitions (opt-in spike)

Add an opt-in `--page-side-compositing` flag (CLI) backed by a new engine
config field `enablePageSideCompositing` and env var `HF_PAGE_SIDE_COMPOSITING`.
When set, SDR shader-transition compositions skip the Node-side layered blend
(the hf#677 chain) and instead run the shader inside Chrome via a page-side
WebGL canvas; the engine then captures ONE opaque RGB frame per output frame
via the existing streaming capture path.

This is the strongest non-beginFrame perf lever for Mac users, who cannot
take the beginFrame `~5×` path (Chromium structural limit, crbug.com/40656275).
Stacks on top of the hf#677 1.95× baseline.

Default OFF — existing fixture pins (byte-exact MP4 output) are preserved.
Opt-in path is intentionally PSNR-pinned, not byte-equal (WebGL is f32; Node
is f64). HDR content forces the existing layered path regardless.

Implementation:
- engine: new `EngineConfig.enablePageSideCompositing` (default false).
- producer/fileServer: new `HF_PAGE_SIDE_COMPOSITING_STUB` early-page script
  injected into the served HTML head when the flag is on.
- producer/renderOrchestrator: when the flag + no HDR + no png-sequence,
  route SDR transitions through the streaming path instead of the layered
  HDR stage.
- shader-transitions: new `engineModePageComposite.ts` installs a fullscreen
  WebGL compositor overlay and wraps `window.__hf.seek` so each seek inside
  a transition window captures both scenes via the Chromium
  `drawElementImage` API to GL textures, runs the fragment shader, and
  displays the composited result on the overlay canvas. The engine takes
  one screenshot per frame and sees the composited overlay.
- cli: new `--page-side-compositing` flag sets `HF_PAGE_SIDE_COMPOSITING=true`
  before producer load.
- scripts/page-side-compositing-smoke: bundled-CLI smoke that renders a
  representative fixture with and without the flag, validates the canary
  strings are in the shipped bundles, and writes a wall-time pair.

Determinism trade documented in the engine config doc-comment. The smoke
script enforces the bundled-CLI validation discipline from prior perf work
(see internal feedback note `validate_bundled_cli_not_dev_path`).

Runtime requirement: Chromium's `CanvasDrawElement` feature (already
enabled by the engine's `--enable-features=CanvasDrawElement` launch flag).
When the runtime feature is unavailable, the page-side installer logs a
warning and falls back to opacity-flip mode — the engine still takes the
streaming path; the transition window degrades to a hard scene swap. Vance
will validate on Mac Chrome where the feature is supported.

* fix(shader-transitions): use html2canvas for page-side compositor capture

The original drawElementImage approach fails in engine render mode because
the virtual-time shim prevents Chromium from generating paint records for
cloned elements. drawElementImage requires a cached paint record from the
browser's compositor — clones created at capture time never receive one
because (a) shimmed rAFs deadlock inside the seek wrapper, (b) original
rAFs don't produce real paints under virtual-time control, and
(c) layoutsubtree canvases don't apply CSS stylesheet rules to children.

Switch scene capture to html2canvas (foreignObjectRendering: false), the
same JS-based renderer already used by the preview-mode fallback path in
capture.ts. html2canvas reads computed styles and renders via its own
canvas drawing pipeline with no dependency on the browser paint cycle.

Also fixes:
- Engine seek must return the result so Puppeteer awaits async seek
  promises (frameCapture.ts).
- GSAP opacity cache: compositor must restore scene opacity before seek,
  not after — GSAP caches inline values and skips re-writes.
- Support check gates on WebGL availability, not drawElementImage.

Perf: 15-scene shader-perf fixture (28s, 14 transitions, 30fps)
  Baseline (Node-side layered): 137s
  Page-side (html2canvas+WebGL): 33s → 4.1× speedup

* fix(producer): unify page-side compositing gating and Docker forwarding

Addresses three issues from staff review:

1. ignoreElements filter stripped all in-scene canvases (Chart.js, D3,
   p5.js) — narrowed to data-no-capture only since the compositor canvas
   is a body sibling never in the scene subtree.

2. Docker mode silently dropped --page-side-compositing — thread
   pageSideCompositing through DockerRenderOptions/buildDockerRunArgs
   with regression tests.

3. Fragmented gating across 4 independent sites could disagree:
   - Stub injection gated only on cfg flag (leaked into HDR/alpha)
   - Probe-created fileServer never got the stub
   - needsAlpha (WebM/MOV) not excluded from the gate
   - WebGL-unavailable fallback claimed layered path would run but
     orchestrator had already disabled it

   Fix: compute stub injection at the same site as the layered-bypass
   decision (after hasHdrContent is known), using addPreHeadScript on
   the already-running fileServer. Single predicate now gates both
   decisions, including !needsAlpha.

* perf(engine): two-phase drawElementImage capture for page-side compositing

Replace html2canvas with native drawElementImage for scene capture in
the page-side compositor. drawElementImage reads from the browser's own
paint cache, giving pixel-identical output to the preview path.

The blocker was that cloned elements inside layoutsubtree canvases have
no cached paint record under virtual time — the compositor only paints
when explicitly triggered. Fix: split the seek+composite into two phases
with an engine-forced paint between them.

Phase 1 (seek wrapper, page-side):
  - GSAP seek positions the timeline
  - Clone FROM/TO scenes into visible layoutsubtree staging canvases
  - Set window.__hf_page_composite_pending flag

Engine paint force (frameCapture.ts):
  - Detect pending flag after seek returns
  - Fire micro Page.captureScreenshot (1x1 clip) via CDP to force the
    browser compositor to paint all visible elements including staging
    canvas children

Phase 2 (page.evaluate, page-side):
  - drawElementImage reads the now-valid paint records
  - Upload textures to WebGL, run shader, show GL overlay

Key insight: staging canvases must be visible (not opacity:0) for the
browser to paint their children. They sit at z-index:-9998, behind
the main DOM and covered by the GL overlay during transitions.

Perf: 15-scene fixture (28s, 14 transitions, 30fps):
  Baseline (Node-side layered): 137s
  html2canvas + WebGL:           33s (3.7×)
  drawElementImage + WebGL:      21s (6.6×)

* perf(engine): optimize two-phase compositor hot path

- uploadTextureSource instead of uploadTexture: eliminates ~2.3GB of
  canvas buffer alloc/dealloc churn (persistent staging canvases don't
  need the one-shot zeroing behavior)
- Fold hasPending check into seek page.evaluate: eliminates one CDP
  round-trip per frame (~700 unnecessary IPC calls on non-transition
  frames)
- Fix renderShader error handling: on failure, leave source scenes
  visible as fallback instead of hiding both scenes + GL overlay
  (which produced black frames)

* feat(engine): default-on page-side compositing for SDR shader transitions

Page-side compositing is now enabled by default for SDR shader-transition
renders without video content. The 6.6× speedup applies automatically —
no flag needed.

Auto-disables when:
- HDR content detected
- Alpha output (WebM/MOV/PNG-sequence)
- Composition contains <video> elements (cloneNode loses playback state)
- beginFrame capture mode (Linux headless)

Use --no-page-side-compositing to force the Node-side layered path.

Changes:
- Engine config: enablePageSideCompositing defaults to true
- CLI: flag default flipped to true; --no-page-side-compositing disables
- Orchestrator: added composition.videos.length === 0 gate
- Docker: forwards --no-page-side-compositing when explicitly disabled
- Config tests updated for new default

* feat(engine): support video elements on page-side compositing fast path

Three-phase capture protocol lets shader transitions render video scenes
without falling back to the slow Node-side layered pipeline:

1. Seek → compositor records transition metadata, sets pending flag
2. onBeforeCapture → video frame injector updates <img> replacements
3. prepare → cloneNode picks up current video frames, img.decode() awaits
4. micro-screenshot → forces browser to paint cloned elements
5. resolve → drawElementImage reads paint records, shader composites

Key changes:
- Remove `composition.videos.length === 0` gate from orchestrator
- Split compositor resolve into prepare (clone) + resolve (shader)
- Move onBeforeCapture before compositor prepare in frameCapture.ts
- Await img.decode() on cloned data-URI images to prevent stale frames
- Stop manipulating scene opacity in compositor (GL canvas overlay suffices)
- Add gsap.set declaration for shader-transitions ambient types
- Add video_missing_timing_attrs lint rule for <video> without id/data-start/data-end

Performance: compositions with video now render at 7.5s (6 workers) instead
of 2m38s on the layered path.

* fix(core): auto-inject data-start on video/audio so frame extraction works without explicit attrs

The timing compiler now injects data-start="0" on <video> and <audio>
elements that lack it. This makes discoverMediaFromBrowser() find the
element (it queries video[data-start]), so the frame extraction pipeline
activates automatically. Videos "just work" without requiring authors to
add data-start, data-end, or id attributes.

Also removes the video_missing_timing_attrs lint rule — the compiler
handles the missing attributes automatically, so the lint rule would
only false-positive.

Seeks the GSAP timeline in Puppeteer to discover when each video's parent
scene is visible (opacity > 0). Uses coarse sampling at 100ms steps followed
by binary search refinement to frame-level precision (1/60s). Only processes
videos with the data-hf-auto-start sentinel so author-specified timing is
never overridden.

Now needsBrowser also checks for data-hf-auto-start sentinel in compiled HTML.

Vance Ingalls c1ba528a1f fix(cli): scan puppeteer cache for chrome-headless-shell; warn on system-chrome fallback (#821)
## What

Two correctness fixes to `packages/cli/src/browser/manager.ts` so the CLI picks the right Chrome binary for any perf path that depends on `chrome-headless-shell`:

1. **Also scan the puppeteer-managed cache.** `findFromCache` now reads from both `~/.cache/hyperframes/chrome` (the CLI's own managed cache) and `~/.cache/puppeteer/chrome-headless-shell/<version>/<platform-dir>/chrome-headless-shell` (the path layout that the engine's `resolveHeadlessShellPath` already reads from). When `chrome-headless-shell` is present in either cache, it now wins over system Chrome.
2. **Warn when falling through to a non-`chrome-headless-shell` system binary on Linux.** A single one-time `console.warn` explains the perf consequence and points the user at `npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome-headless-shell`. Linux-scoped because the BeginFrame perf path is Linux-only.

## Why

Discovered in a recent spike on the BeginFrame perf path. On a clean install, the CLI's hyperframes-managed cache (`~/.cache/hyperframes/chrome`) is empty, so `findFromCache` returns `undefined`. The CLI then falls through to `findFromSystem()` and picks `/usr/bin/google-chrome`, exporting it to the engine via `PRODUCER_HEADLESS_SHELL_PATH` in `render.ts`. The engine receives that path, sees it's already set, and skips its own correct `~/.cache/puppeteer/chrome-headless-shell` scan.

Regular Chrome (147+) has dropped `HeadlessExperimental.enable`. The engine's BeginFrame probe correctly catches this and silently falls back to screenshot mode — but the operator sees no signal, so any user who installed `chrome-headless-shell` via `npx @puppeteer/browsers install` (the standard puppeteer flow) silently loses the perf path.

This is a "two codepaths know about 'the chrome we ship' but look in different places" bug. The fix collapses them.

## How

- `findFromCache` now consults both caches. Hyperframes-managed cache wins when both contain a binary (preserves existing behavior).
- New `findFromPuppeteerCache` mirrors `resolveHeadlessShellPath` from `packages/engine/src/services/browserManager.ts` — same path layout, same newest-first version sort. A comment in both files notes they need to move together if puppeteer ever changes the on-disk layout.
- `warnSystemFallbackOnce` is gated on `process.platform === "linux"` and on the binary name (`basename` of the path being `chrome-headless-shell`/`.exe`). One-shot latch so a long-running `hyperframes studio` process isn't spammed. Exported test-reset helper `_resetSystemFallbackWarnForTests` for the unit tests.

No public-API changes. `findBrowser`, `ensureBrowser`, `clearBrowser`, `setBrowserPath` all keep the same signatures.

## Test plan

- [x] Unit tests added (`packages/cli/src/browser/manager.test.ts`, 7 tests):
  - cache hit on hyperframes dir
  - cache hit on puppeteer dir (the new path)
  - newest-version preference when multiple versions are cached
  - system fallback + Linux warning emitted
  - no warning when the resolved path is itself `chrome-headless-shell` (e.g. `HYPERFRAMES_BROWSER_PATH` override)
  - no warning on macOS (Linux-only perf path)
  - one-time warning idempotency across repeated `findBrowser()` calls
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli typecheck` — passes
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli test` — 305/305 passing
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli build` — passes
- [ ] Manual smoke on a Linux host with chrome-headless-shell in the puppeteer cache (skipped — sandbox already has both binaries and the unit tests cover the resolution logic deterministically; reviewers welcome to verify)
