The property delegation on window.__player used Object.defineProperty
with only a getter, causing "Cannot set property renderSeek which has
only a getter" when Studio's motion-wrapping code tried to reassign
__player.renderSeek with a wrapped version. This cascaded into an
infinite error loop making the timeline unusable.

Clips whose compositionStart is ahead of the current timeline position
were starting immediately because sourceNode.start() always received
when=0. Use the AudioContext scheduling API to defer future clips:
sourceNode.start(ctx.currentTime + delay, mediaStart).

Replace the two-clock architecture (GSAP rAF ticker + HTMLMediaElement
pipeline reconciled by a 50ms polling loop) with a single TransportClock.
GSAP is always paused and seeked to clock.now() on each rAF tick.
Drift between visual timeline and audio is structurally impossible.
Architecture:
TransportClock.now() ──rAF──▶ timeline.seek(t) + el.currentTime
▲
AudioContext.currentTime (~21µs) ← WebAudio active
OR
audio.currentTime (~33ms) ← HTMLMediaElement fallback
OR
performance.now() (~1ms) ← no audio
Key changes:
- TransportClock class with monotonic + audio-master clock sources
- WebAudioTransport: routes audio through AudioBufferSourceNode for
sample-accurate scheduling, falls back gracefully to HTMLMediaElement
- rAF tick loop replaces 50ms setInterval poll; GSAP always paused
- Strict sync (40ms threshold, consecutive-sample gated) + forceSync
on play/pause/seek transitions for sub-frame media accuracy
- Buffer-stall: visuals freeze when audio is buffering instead of
running ahead
- Frame quantization preserved in seek/renderSeek (parity contract)
Browser-verified: 0.0ms drift after 40 pause/play cycles (was 400ms+).
Also fixes: CDN script HTML error responses in validate (pre-existing).
54 tests across clock, clock-drift, webAudioTransport, and media.
Closes#668
After hf#641 inlined the runtime IIFE into every bundle, lint tools
inspecting bundled output (including Abhay's c2v eval) started flagging
empty `catch {}` blocks across the runtime. The source had explanatory
comments inside, but esbuild's minifier strips them — the IIFE ships
~10 visible patterns of `}catch{}` and consumers' linters fire on each.
Each empty catch is intentional best-effort error swallowing —
postMessage to a parent frame that may not exist, `media.play()` /
`pause()` that throw under autoplay restrictions, timeline `seek()` on
a disposed timeline, anime.js / lottie feature detection on hosts that
don't load those libraries, etc. The right behaviour stays "tried,
didn't work, move on", but doing it visibly improves three things:
- lint clean: helper call is a real statement; no `no-empty` warnings
survive minification
- debuggable: flip `window.__hfDebug = true` in DevTools to see every
swallow site with `console.debug` (silent in prod by default)
- observable: studio / embeddings can install
`window.__hf.onSwallowed = handler` to collect runtime swallow
events without polluting the page console
Implementation: `packages/core/src/runtime/diagnostics.ts` exports
`swallow(label, err?)`. 41 catch sites across 12 runtime files
converted via mechanical pass (auto-generated `runtime.<module>.siteN`
labels — labels can be tightened site-by-site as a follow-up; the
shape of the change is what matters here).
Verification:
- core 674/674 (incl. 6 new diagnostics tests covering silent default,
__hfDebug logging, legacy __HYPERFRAMES_DEBUG flag, handler hook,
handler-throws-doesn't-recurse, both-active)
- typecheck clean
- format / lint clean
- runtime IIFE rebuilds successfully (`bun run build:hyperframes-runtime`)
Refs Abhay's c2v eval — bundler artefacts now lint-clean with the
runtime body inlined.
* feat(player): add volume/mute controls to the player
Adds a mute toggle button and volume slider to the controls bar,
positioned between the time display and speed selector. The slider
expands on hover for a compact default footprint.
- `volume` attribute/property (0–1, clamped) with `volumechange` event
- `muted` attribute now syncs to the controls UI (icon updates)
- Three volume icons: high, low, muted — updates reactively
- Volume forwarded to parent-frame audio proxies and iframe runtime
via `set-volume` postMessage control
- 9 new tests covering volume clamping, events, controls rendering,
mute toggle, and iframe message forwarding

* fix(player): wire set-volume through runtime bridge + address review feedback
Addresses the blocker from PR review: the iframe runtime now handles
`set-volume` messages end-to-end (types → bridge → init → media sync).
Runtime side:
- Add `set-volume` to RuntimeBridgeControlAction union
- Add `volume` field to RuntimeBridgeControlMessage
- Handle `set-volume` in bridge.ts with [0,1] clamping
- Store bridgeVolume in RuntimeState, apply to media elements
- syncRuntimeMedia composes userVolume × clip author volume
Player side:
- Muted toggle now dispatches `volumechange` (HTML5 spec compliance)
- Volume slider auto-unmutes when scrubbed above 0 while muted
- Touch support on volume slider (touchstart/move/end)
Tests: 5 new (3 bridge, 2 media)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(player): add ARIA keyboard controls, fix icon collision and clipVolume parity
- Volume slider: role="slider", aria-label, aria-valuemin/max/now,
tabindex=0, arrow key support (5% steps, auto-unmutes)
- Volume=0 unmuted now shows low-volume icon instead of muted icon
- Fix clipVolume divergence: init.ts uses Number.isFinite() matching
media.ts semantics (preserves data-volume="0")
- 3 new tests: ARIA attributes, volumechange on mute, icon collision

* fix(runtime): clear play guard after hard seek to prevent audio desync on scrub
When scrubbing the timeline during playback, syncRuntimeMedia detects
the offset jump and hard-seeks the media element. But the in-flight
play() guard (playRequested WeakSet) from the previous play() call
prevented the next sync tick from re-issuing play() — leaving the
element paused at the new position for 50-150ms while the GSAP timeline
continued advancing. This caused audible audio desync after every scrub.
Fix: clear playRequested on the element after a hard seek so the very
next sync tick can re-issue play().
Also adds a lint rule (video_audio_double_source) that catches
compositions where an unmuted <video> and a separate <audio> point to
the same source — a pattern that causes double playback at runtime.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(runtime): detect failed seeks past MP3 buffer and force full fetch
Root cause: streaming MP3 with preload="metadata" only buffers the first
~15 seconds. Seeking past the buffered range silently fails — currentTime
stays at 0 while the timeline advances, causing permanent audio desync
that only a page refresh fixes.
Three changes:
1. Move preload="auto" enforcement to run for ALL active elements on
every sync tick (not just during play). This catches elements whose
preload was overridden after init.ts set it.
2. After a hard seek, check if currentTime actually reached the target.
If not (drift > 0.5s), call load() once to force the browser to
fully fetch the media and build a complete seek index.
3. Clear the load-retry guard when the clip leaves its active window
so re-entry can retry if needed.
Reproduced on hyperframes.dev Hermes launch video: vo.mp3 buffered to
15.96s, seeking to 20s failed silently. bg-music.wav (fully buffered)
was unaffected.

Per CodeQL's `js/bad-tag-filter` recommendation, replace the regex-based
`<script>` body extraction with a `parseHTML` + `querySelectorAll`
walk. The rule explicitly says "use a parser library" — and linkedom
is already imported in this file, so the diff is small.
This eliminates the regex entirely, so the rule can no longer fire on
this site (instead of chasing whitespace / case / trailing-content
edge cases one at a time).
CodeQL still flagged `</script\s*>` as too narrow — the rule wants
tolerance for `</script\t\n bar>` (HTML parser treats trailing content
in a close tag as part of the tag). Switched to `</script[^>]*>` for
full coverage.
The bundler still always emits the canonical `</script>`; this is
test-side hardening, not a runtime fix.
CodeQL's `js/bad-tag-filter` rule flagged `</script>` as too strict —
`</script >` (with whitespace before `>`) is valid HTML and would slip
past the matcher. Changed to `</script\s*>` for full defense-in-depth.
The bundler always emits the canonical form, so no real-traffic miss —
this is hardening the test's parse-loop, not fixing a downstream bug.
Addresses CodeQL alert on #641.
CodeQL flagged the inline `<script>...</script>` regex as case-sensitive,
which would miss `<SCRIPT>` tags. The bundler always emits lowercase, so
this is a defense-in-depth fix matching the `/i` flag already used by the
sibling regexes in this file (lines 37 & 75).
Addresses CodeQL review on #641.
Per @vai-bot's review on hf#641:
Important #1: dead `src=""` substitution sites
=============================================
Now that `bundleToSingleHtml` inlines the runtime IIFE by default, the empty
`src=""` placeholder is never emitted in the no-env-var path — the 5 downstream
substitution sites that grep for `src=""` were dead.
Two of them (studio dev server + studio vite preview) genuinely WANT the
placeholder so they can hot-reload a local /api/runtime.js endpoint without
re-inlining ~150 KB on every composition edit. Three of them (CLI validate,
snapshot, layout) were just doing the same inlining the bundler already does.
Resolution:
- Add a `runtime: "inline" | "placeholder"` option to `BundleOptions`. Default
is "inline" (matches the self-contained-bundle promise the function name
makes). The two studio surfaces explicitly pass `{ runtime: "placeholder" }`
to opt in.
- studioServer.ts + studio/vite.config.ts: pass the option, keep their
existing string-replace logic unchanged.
- validate.ts + snapshot.ts + layout.ts: delete the now-redundant runtime
substitution code (regex never matches the new inlined-runtime shape).
Important #2: joinJsChunks ASI hazard
======================================
The new helper appended `;` to chunks not already ending in `;` and joined
on `\n`. If a chunk ended with a `// line comment`, the appended semicolon
was eaten by the comment, leaving the next chunk's first statement attached
to the previous chunk's last expression — exactly the ASI hazard the helper
exists to prevent.
Fix: append `\n;` instead of `;` for chunks not already terminated. The
newline closes the line comment, the standalone `;` becomes the statement
separator. For typical chunks (already ending in `;`), output is unchanged
— still clean `\n`-joined chunks with no bare-semicolon lines.
Also added a trailing `;` to `wrapScopedCompositionScript`'s IIFE close
(`})()` → `})();`) so composition scripts join cleanly without falling
through to the `\n;` fallback.
New test: regression guard at the chunk boundary verifies every inline
script body in the bundle parses cleanly via esbuild even when a source JS
file ends with a line comment.
Verification
============
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/core test` — 653/653 pass
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli test` — 243/243 pass
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/{core,cli,studio} typecheck` — clean
- `bunx oxfmt --check` + `bunx oxlint` on all touched files — clean

Three issues in `bundleToSingleHtml` reported via Abhay's LLM-based code-validity
eval against the bundled output. Each is independently small; they share a single
PR because they're all artifacts of the bundler-output shape.
1. Empty `src=""` runtime placeholder (real bug)
`htmlBundler.ts:injectInterceptor` emitted
`<script data-hyperframes-preview-runtime="1" src=""></script>`
when no `HYPERFRAME_RUNTIME_URL` was configured. Empty `src` resolves to the
page URL itself; Chrome flags this as an infinite-fetch hazard. Three other
consumers (studioServer, validate, snapshot) post-process the placeholder to
substitute either a real URL or an inlined body — `bundleToSingleHtml` did
not, so the bundle wasn't actually self-contained despite the function name.
Fix: when no URL is configured, inline the runtime IIFE directly via
`getHyperframeRuntimeScript()`. Otherwise emit `src=…` as before.
2. Bare-semicolon lines between joined JS chunks (cosmetic)
Three sites used `chunks.join("\n;\n")` (body-script coalesce, local JS,
composition scripts) which produced a lone `;` on its own line between
chunks. Valid JS but a code smell. Replace with a `joinJsChunks()` helper
that ensures each chunk ends in `;` and joins on `\n`.
3. Empty `catch (_err) {}` in compositionScoping.ts (lint-noisy)
The `_err` underscore prefix signals "intentionally swallowed" but bundle-time
linters often don't honor that convention. Replaced with `catch { /* ... */ }`
(no binding, explanatory comment) — same behavior, no rule fires.
Tests: 2 new regression guards (runtime-not-empty-src, no-bare-semi) plus
existing tests updated to reflect the new inlined-runtime shape (the previous
"runtime block must not contain getElementById" assertion no longer holds
because the inlined body itself uses getElementById; replaced with a more
specific "author script not merged into runtime tag" check).
Issue #4 from the original report (Unterminated string at line 1111 col 18,
char 65497) was not directly reproducible after applying these fixes — esbuild
parses all 4 inline scripts in the rebundled output cleanly. The unterminated-
string symptom was likely a downstream artifact of the bare-semicolon joining
or the empty-src placeholder confusing the lint tool. If the original symptom
persists on a clean re-run against the fixed bundle, will open a follow-up PR
with a focused repro.

Both `composition_file_too_large` and `timeline_track_too_dense` previously
said "Agents produce better results when large scenes are split into smaller
sub-compositions." The audience-flavored framing ("Agents produce better
results") doesn't tell a reader (agent or human) WHY smaller is better.
Reframe to concrete properties of smaller compositions: easier to read,
iterate on, and diff. The fixHint already covers the inspect/revise/validate
detail; the message now leads with a tight reason.
Per Abhay in #C0ACCNHLG3U:
> "an agent reading 'Agents produce better results' sounds weird. We should
> give the agent an actual reason why smaller is better for them."

- core.types.ts: export COMPOSITION_VARIABLE_TYPES, a runtime tuple of
every CompositionVariableType variant guarded by `as const satisfies
readonly CompositionVariableType[]`. Adding a new variant to the union
without also adding it to the tuple becomes a compile error rather
than silent drift in callers that maintain their own list.
- composition.ts (lint rule): the local
`new Set(["string","number","color","boolean","enum"])` now derives
from COMPOSITION_VARIABLE_TYPES instead of duplicating the list.
- index.ts: export COMPOSITION_VARIABLE_TYPES alongside the rest of the
variable type guards.
Reuse + efficiency reviews otherwise clean. The other reuse finding
(loadProjectHtml helper to dedupe readFileSync + ensureDOMParser across
3 callers) is real but reaches files outside this PR's scope; it's a
better fit as a follow-up cleanup once the variable-feature stack lands.
All 48 composition lint tests + 49 core suite tests still green.

Two lint rules + render-time validation built on top of the existing
data-composition-variables schema.
Lint rules (packages/core/src/lint/rules/composition.ts):
- invalid_variable_values_json — host's data-variable-values must parse as
a JSON object. Today the runtime swallows parse failures silently and
falls back to declared defaults, masking typos.
- invalid_composition_variables_declaration — root <html>'s
data-composition-variables must parse as an array of objects with
`id` (string), `type` (one of string/number/color/boolean/enum), `label`
(string), and `default`. Per-entry findings report which fields are
missing or invalid.
Both rules read attributes via a new `readJsonAttr` helper in lint/utils.ts.
The existing `readAttr` regex `["']([^"']+)["']` truncates JSON-in-attribute
values at the first internal quote (e.g. `data-variable-values='{"x":"y"}'`
captures only `{`); `readJsonAttr` alternates double-vs-single-quoted
branches with quote-specific char classes so JSON values round-trip cleanly.
A second helper `findHtmlTag` returns the actual <html> open tag (where
data-composition-variables lives) — distinct from `findRootTag` which
returns the first in-body composition element.
Render-time validation (packages/core/src/runtime/validateVariables.ts):
- validateVariables(values, declarations) returns a structured array of
issues: undeclared keys, type mismatches, enum-out-of-range values.
Pure / sync; works in any environment.
- formatVariableValidationIssue(issue) renders a one-line user-facing
string for CLI output.
- Both exported from @hyperframes/core for studio/tooling reuse.
CLI integration (packages/cli/src/commands/render.ts):
- New --strict-variables flag. Default behavior: print warnings and
continue. With --strict-variables: print warnings then exit 1.
- New `validateVariablesAgainstProject(indexPath, values)` helper:
reads the project's index.html, runs extractCompositionMetadata to
pull the declared schema, validates the CLI's --variables payload
against it. ensureDOMParser polyfill for Node-side parsing (same
pattern as compositions.ts).
Tests:
- 11 new validateVariables unit tests covering happy path, undeclared
keys, type mismatches (string/number/boolean/color/enum), enum range,
multiple-issue aggregation, and formatter output.
- 11 new composition.test.ts cases for both lint rules: parse errors,
shape errors, per-entry validation, unknown types, missing fields,
positive cases.
- 5 new render.test.ts cases for validateVariablesAgainstProject:
no-declarations, happy path, undeclared, type-mismatch, missing-file.
- All 646 core tests + 213 cli tests still green.
Docs:
- docs/packages/cli.mdx — added --strict-variables flag row.

- compositionLoader.ts: drop the redundant inline `Window` cast; the
ambient `__hfVariablesByComp?` declaration in runtime/window.d.ts
already covers it within the same package.
- compositionScoping.test.ts: drop the `__captured: undefined as unknown`
initializers — `Record<string, unknown>` already permits the key, the
init was noise.
Reuse + efficiency reviews returned clean. The scoped getVariables's
per-call Object.assign({}, scoped) is consistent with the file's
existing scoped-utility conventions (gsap proxy returns fresh bound
functions per access) and acceptable since the idiomatic usage
destructures once at script init.
All 44 touched core tests still green.

Building on PR 1's getVariables() helper, this PR routes per-instance
values into the correct sub-composition. Same composition source can
now be embedded N times with different content via data-variable-values
on each host element.
How it works:
- compositionLoader, before injecting wrapped scripts, layers the host
element's data-variable-values JSON over the sub-comp's declared
defaults (its own data-composition-variables) and writes the merged
object to window.__hfVariablesByComp[compositionId]. Skipped when
both sides are empty so the table only grows for instances that
actually carry values.
- compositionScoping's wrapper IIFE now takes a fourth parameter
__hyperframes alongside the existing scoped document/gsap/window.
The scoped __hyperframes shadows getVariables() to read from
__hfVariablesByComp[__hfCompId], returning a fresh object each call
so script mutations don't leak into the shared table.
- Top-level scripts (not wrapped by compositionScoping) keep using the
unscoped window.__hyperframes.getVariables(), which reads
data-composition-variables defaults plus the CLI override
(window.__hfVariables) — same path as PR 1.
- readDeclaredDefaults is exported from getVariables.ts so the loader
reuses the exact same defaults-extraction logic the helper uses for
the top-level path.
Inline templates (no separate <html> document root) get host overrides
only — no declared defaults — since there's no separate <html> to read
data-composition-variables from. External sub-comps fetched via
data-composition-src get the full declared defaults + host overrides
merge.
Tests: 3 new compositionScoping tests covering scoped getVariables
invocation, missing-entry fallback, and mutation isolation. 5 new
compositionLoader tests covering merge order, declared-only path,
empty-skip, invalid-host-JSON resilience, and per-instance scoping
across two hosts sharing a source. 3 new getVariables tests covering
the newly-public readDeclaredDefaults. All 622 core tests green.
Docs: docs/concepts/compositions.mdx switched its sub-comp example from
hand-rolled JSON.parse(host.dataset.variableValues) to the new
__hyperframes.getVariables() pattern. data-attributes.mdx clarifies
per-instance scoping behavior.
This is PR 2 of a 4-PR stack. PR 3 adds schema validation + lint;
PR 4 ships skill / scaffold updates.

## What
Adds the parametrized-render primitive from [hf#592](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/issues/592) by introducing a `getVariables()` runtime helper plus a CLI `--variables` / `--variables-file` flag. Compositions declare variables once on the root `<html>` element (the existing `data-composition-variables` attribute, which already drives Studio editing UI), read them at runtime via `window.__hyperframes.getVariables()`, and CLI users override them at render time without touching the composition source.
This is **PR 1 of a 4-PR stack**:
1. **PR 1 (this one)** — runtime helper + CLI flag + engine injection (top-level renders).
2. PR 2 — sub-comp per-instance scoping (carry the host's `data-variable-values` into the inlined sub-comp's `getVariables()`).
3. PR 3 — schema validation + lint rules (warn on undeclared variable IDs, optional `--strict-variables`).
4. PR 4 — skill / scaffold distribution (SKILL.md, AGENTS.md scaffolds, openai/plugins mirror).
## Why
The existing `data-composition-variables` schema declares variable types and defaults but isn't readable from composition scripts and can't be overridden at render time. To produce N variations of a composition today, an agent has to fork the composition or edit the source HTML before each render. `--variables` collapses that into one render call per variation, matching Editframe's `--data` UX without copying their `getRenderData` framing — `getVariables()` is named for the codebase's existing "variables" terminology and works equally in dev preview and at render time.
## How
- **Runtime helper** (`packages/core/src/runtime/getVariables.ts`): reads `data-composition-variables` from `document.documentElement`, extracts `{id: default}` defaults, merges `window.__hfVariables` (override) on top, returns `Partial<T>`. Same code path in dev preview (no override) and at render (with override). Generic parameter for typed editor ergonomics. Exposed both as a named export from `@hyperframes/core` and on `window.__hyperframes.getVariables` for vanilla compositions.
- **CLI flag** (`packages/cli/src/commands/render.ts`): `--variables '<json>'` and `--variables-file <path>`. `parseVariablesArg` is split out as a pure function (returns a discriminated `{ ok: true } | { ok: false }` union) so all validation paths are unit-testable; the side-effecting `resolveVariablesArg` wraps it with `errorBox` + `process.exit`. Mutually exclusive with `--variables-file`; fail-fast on conflicts, missing file, unparseable JSON, or non-object payloads (string, number, array, null).
- **Engine injection** (`packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture.ts`): added an `evaluateOnNewDocument` step right after the `__name` polyfill that sets `window.__hfVariables` to the parsed JSON before any page script runs. Skipped when payload is empty so we don't add pointless init scripts. Plumbed through `CaptureOptions.variables` and `RenderConfig.variables`. Docker mode forwards the flag to the in-container CLI via `dockerRunArgs`.
- **Why a separate `__hfVariables` global** instead of writing into `__hyperframes.getVariables()` directly: the helper is an IIFE that has to be defined before composition scripts execute, but the *override* needs to land before *that*. `evaluateOnNewDocument` is the only reliable hook that runs before the runtime IIFE evaluates. Storing the raw value on `__hfVariables` and merging in the helper keeps both paths order-independent.
## Test plan
- [x] Unit tests added/updated
- 9 jsdom tests for `getVariables()` covering empty state, declared defaults only, override merge, override-wins, declared-only, invalid JSON, non-array payloads, non-object overrides, typed generic.
- 7 tests for `parseVariablesArg` covering all validation paths.
- 2 integration tests for `renderLocal` confirming `variables` reach `createRenderJob`.
- 3 new `dockerRunArgs` assertions for `--variables` passthrough (set / not-set / empty-object).
- All existing tests green: core 611, cli 208, engine 519.
- [x] Manual testing performed
- `npx tsx packages/cli/src/cli.ts render --help` shows both flags + the two new examples.
- [x] Documentation updated
- `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — added flags to the table and a "Parametrized renders" section with a worked example.
- `docs/concepts/data-attributes.mdx` — added `data-composition-variables` row.
## Backwards compatibility
Fully backwards compatible. Compositions without `data-composition-variables` work unchanged; `getVariables()` returns `{}` and the engine skips the injection step.

## Summary
This stacked PR makes caption overrides refresh-safe.
Caption edits are still saved to `caption-overrides.json`, but override targets are now stable across preview refreshes and regenerated caption HTML.
## Architecture
- **Stable word identity**: generated caption HTML preserves optional transcript word IDs in the `TRANSCRIPT` array and emits those IDs on word spans.
- **Parser continuity**: the caption parser preserves existing transcript word `id` fields instead of regenerating index-only identity.
- **Override loading**: Studio loads saved overrides by `wordId` first, with the existing `wordIndex` fallback kept for older overrides.
- **Idempotent runtime wrapping**: transform overrides reuse an existing `data-caption-wrapper="true"` wrapper instead of nesting wrappers on every refresh.
- **Animation compatibility**: overrides still wrap the word so inner word-level GSAP animation can continue to target the original span.
## User Impact
Users can edit caption word position, scale, rotation, color, opacity, font size, font weight, and font family, then refresh without overrides drifting to the wrong word or accumulating nested wrappers.

## Summary
Studio manual geometry edits now persist as a project-local manifest instead of being baked into composition source on each gesture.
The manifest lives at:
```text
.hyperframes/studio-manual-edits.json
```
It is the source of truth for manual drag, resize, rotation, inspector geometry edits, group moves, and selected-layer reset.
## Architecture
- **Manifest-backed edits**: each edit stores a kind (`path-offset`, `box-size`, `rotation`), a source-scoped target, and the edit values.
- **Source-scoped resolution**: targets include `sourceFile`, `id`, `selector`, and `selectorIndex`, so duplicate selectors in nested compositions resolve against the owning source file.
- **Additive CSS layer**: move uses CSS `translate`, resize writes stable dimensions/flex sizing, and rotation uses CSS `rotate` over the authored base.
- **Shared replay runtime**: Studio preview, thumbnails, frame capture, producer renders, and CLI Studio renders/thumbnails all use the same core manual-edit render script.
- **Animation-safe replay**: Studio reapplies the manual layer after load, refresh, timeline seeks, player operations, playback frames, thumbnail seeks, and render seeks instead of rewriting GSAP timelines.
- **History and handoff**: the manifest is a normal project file, so undo/redo and agent edits can preserve, modify, or remove manual visual edits explicitly.
## User Impact
Users can move, resize, rotate, group-move, and reset supported layers from the canvas or inspector, then refresh, capture thumbnails/screenshots, play animated compositions, and render videos without manual edits drifting away from the edited state.

## Problem
`wrapScopedCompositionScript` wraps composition scripts with scoped `document`, `window`, and `gsap` proxies. The current published `latest` and `alpha` packages still pass the proxy as the `Reflect.get` receiver, so browser host accessors like `document.body` can throw `TypeError: Illegal invocation`.
When that happens, the wrapper catches the error and aborts the rest of the composition script. For components that start hidden and reveal themselves through GSAP/timeline setup, that means the timeline is never registered and the render can stay visually empty.
Closes#606.
## What this fixes
- Reads scoped proxy properties with the original target as the `Reflect.get` receiver.
- Applies the same target-receiver pattern to scoped proxy setters, including remapped timeline registry writes.
- Preserves the existing behavior of binding returned methods back to the real target.
- Covers document, window, remapped timeline registry, GSAP, and GSAP utils accessors/setters in regression tests that throw unless the receiver is the original target.
## Root cause
The previous proxy traps called `Reflect.get(target, prop, receiver)`. For accessors, that invokes the getter with `this === receiver`, and in this wrapper the receiver is the proxy. Browser host getters such as `Document.prototype.body` validate their receiver and reject the proxy, which makes ordinary composition code like `document.body` fail before timeline registration can run.
## Verification
### Local checks
- Confirmed current npm state with `npm view @hyperframes/core version dist-tags versions --json` and `npm view @hyperframes/producer version dist-tags versions --json`: `latest` is `0.4.42`, `alpha` is `0.5.0-alpha.14`.
- Packed `@hyperframes/core` and `@hyperframes/producer` at both `latest` and `alpha`; all four packed artifacts still contained the bad `Reflect.get(target, prop, receiver)` / `utilsReceiver` wrapper patterns before this fix.

### Browser verification
Used `agent-browser` against generated local repro pages:
- `core latest 0.4.42`: `bodyRead: false`, `titleOpacity: "0"`, `timelineRegistered: false`, `errorCount: 1`
- `core alpha 0.5.0-alpha.14`: `bodyRead: false`, `titleOpacity: "0"`, `timelineRegistered: false`, `errorCount: 1`
- Patched local wrapper: `bodyRead: true`, `titleOpacity: "1"`, `timelineRegistered: true`, `errorCount: 0`
## Notes
- Browser screenshots and the `agent-browser` recordings are local-only under `tmp/issue-606/browser/`, including `issue-606-browser-proof.webm` and `issue-606-after-comment.webm`.
- No generated `dist/` artifacts are committed.
- core/runtime/getVariables.ts: collapse the noisy three-step type-guard
re-cast into a single `Record<string, unknown>` narrow with early-continue
guards. Same behaviour, ~6 lines shorter.
- cli/commands/render.ts: separate VariablesParseError from UI strings.
parseVariablesArg now returns a kind-discriminated error
(`conflict | read-error | parse-error | shape-error`) and the wrapper
resolveVariablesArg owns the title/message mapping via
`variablesErrorMessage`. Keeps the parser pure of presentation strings.
- cli/commands/render.test.ts: lift the `await import("./render.js")` into
a `beforeAll`, add a typed `expectErr` helper, assert on the structured
error kind instead of message-string regexes. Same coverage, less noise.
- engine/services/frameCapture.ts: replace the `as unknown as { ... }`
double-cast with a single named `WindowWithVariables` alias inside the
page closure.
All affected suites green (core getVariables 9, cli render 12, cli
dockerRunArgs 13).

Adds the parametrized-render primitive from hf#592 by reusing the existing
data-composition-variables schema as the source of declared defaults.
- Runtime helper window.__hyperframes.getVariables() (also exported from
@hyperframes/core) reads data-composition-variables defaults from the
document root and merges window.__hfVariables (CLI override) on top.
Returns Partial<T> for typed access; supports a generic for editor
ergonomics. Same code path runs in dev preview and at render time.
- CLI render --variables '<json>' / --variables-file <path> populates the
override. Mutually exclusive; fail-fast on conflicting flags, missing
file, unparseable JSON, or non-object payloads. parseVariablesArg is
exported as a pure function so validation paths stay unit-testable.
- Engine injects window.__hfVariables via evaluateOnNewDocument before
any page script runs, so the helper sees the merged values on its
first call. Empty payloads are skipped to avoid pointless init scripts.
- Producer threads variables through RenderConfig and into the engine's
CaptureOptions; Docker mode forwards --variables to the in-container
CLI invocation via dockerRunArgs.
Composition authors declare variables once on the root <html> element:
<html data-composition-variables='[
{"id":"title","type":"string","label":"Title","default":"Hello"}
]'>
and read them in any composition script:
const { title } = window.__hyperframes.getVariables();
A render with `--variables '{"title":"Q4 Report"}'` overrides the default
without modifying the composition source. Missing keys fall through to
the declared defaults, so dev preview and CLI renders without --variables
behave identically.
This is PR 1 of a 4-PR stack. Sub-comp per-instance scoping (carrying
host data-variable-values through the inlined sub-comp's getVariables()
call) lands in PR 2; schema validation and lint in PR 3; skill / scaffold
distribution in PR 4.
Tests: 9 new unit tests for getVariables() (jsdom), 11 new CLI tests
covering parseVariablesArg validation paths and Docker passthrough,
2 new dockerRunArgs assertions for the --variables flag. All existing
tests green (core 611, cli 208, engine 519).

## Problem
Studio frame capture could fail for projects mounted outside the repo when the project id came from an encoded hash route. A project like `Notion Showcase` loaded as `#project/Notion%20Showcase`, but the capture URL encoded that already-encoded value again, producing `/api/projects/Notion%2520Showcase/...` and a 404.
While validating the fix by seeking through the preview, capture also diverged from the visible player for nested compositions because the thumbnail route sought raw timelines instead of the same player seek path used by Studio preview.
## What this fixes
- Decodes project ids when reading Studio `#project/...` routes and centralizes project hash/API path construction.
- Keeps API URLs encoded exactly once, including project names with spaces, literal `%`, reserved characters, and unicode.
- Updates Studio thumbnail capture to prefer `window.__player.seek(t)` and only fall back to raw timeline seeking for standalone pages.
- Preserves explicit `t=0` thumbnail requests instead of falling back to `0.5` seconds.
- Adds preview-regression CI coverage for Studio routing, frame capture URL construction, thumbnail seeking, and core thumbnail seek parsing.
## Root cause
Studio treated the hash route segment as the canonical project id even when the browser had already percent-encoded it. `buildFrameCaptureUrl` then encoded that string again, so a decoded project directory name and the capture API path no longer matched.
The preview/capture mismatch was a separate seek-path issue: the visible Studio preview seeks through the HyperFrames player, which maps global time into nested composition time. The capture route bypassed that layer and paused all registered timelines at the same global time.
The zero-second capture case came from parsing `t` with a truthiness fallback, so `parseFloat("0") || 0.5` became `0.5`.

### Browser verification
Using `agent-browser`, I mounted `/Users/miguel07code/Downloads/Notion Showcase` into Studio's project data and opened:
```text
http://127.0.0.1:5197/#project/Notion%20Showcase
```
Before the fix, Capture requested `/api/projects/Notion%2520Showcase/thumbnail/index.html?...` and Studio showed `Capture failed`.
After the fix, I sought the preview to `0s`, `2s`, `10s`, and `18s`, captured each frame, and compared the visible preview crop against the capture output. The capture URLs all used `Notion%20Showcase`, not `Notion%2520Showcase`, and no failure toast appeared.
Mean pixel diffs for preview vs capture were:
- `0s`: `0.0`
- `2s`: `0.8641`
- `10s`: `0.3496`
- `18s`: `0.2309`
The small non-zero diffs are raster/antialias-level differences after resizing the capture to the preview crop dimensions.
## Notes
- Browser screenshots, comparison sheets, network logs, and the `agent-browser` recording are local-only under `qa-artifacts/capture-button/` and are not committed.
- The local Notion Showcase project mount is an ignored symlink under `packages/studio/data/projects/` and is not committed.
- Thumbnail cache versions were bumped so stale captures generated with the old seek behavior are not reused.
## Problem
I reproduced the selected open issue batch one by one and confirmed the reports were valid. The fixes all touch the CLI/runtime capture boundary, then the follow-up regression run exposed one over-broad runtime change in sub-composition host visibility and one CI-only baseline trap.
Closes#590, #589, #588, #587, #586, and #584.
## What this fixes
### CLI/runtime edge cases
- Makes the GSAP infinite-repeat lint rule ignore JavaScript comments, so literal `repeat:-1` text in comments is not flagged.
- Lets the compositions CLI inspect `<template>` content, count visual-only template descendants, estimate simple GSAP durations, and suppress root `data-start` warnings in sub-composition lint mode.
- Preserves runtime bootstrap scripts when body scripts are coalesced, and injects the runtime into a real `<head>` when source HTML has no head.
- Keeps #589 fixed by loading and rendering template-wrapped sub-composition content, while restoring host visibility to the shorter of the authored parent clip window and the child composition live timeline.
- Resolves snapshot/validate viewport size from root `data-width` / `data-height` instead of falling back to 1920x1080.
- Skips fully off-frame text boxes during contrast sampling and bounds-checks ring samples so contrast output no longer emits `null:1` / `NaN:1`.
- Marks muted videos as `data-has-audio="false"` in the core timing compiler, which fixes the same-src muted `<video>` + separate `<audio>` StaticGuard case.
- Keeps user-authored `hf-seek` listeners reachable during capture by preventing author scripts from being merged into the runtime bootstrap path.
### Shared helper cleanup
- Removes the stale producer-local timing compiler duplicate; producer compilation now consumes the core timing compiler.
- Centralizes HTML document helpers in core: fragment parsing, embedded runtime stripping, head/body script injection, and early-head injection.
- Centralizes the CLI layout/snapshot static HTML server.
- Adds browser-safe core subpath helpers for Lottie readiness and CLI screenshot clip calculation; Studio's Vite config keeps the screenshot clip helper self-contained so clean-checkout test startup does not value-import core `.ts` source.
- Replaces the engine parity-contract copy with a core re-export.
- De-duplicates render-job cleanup and Studio static file-serving callbacks.
### Regression hardening
- Replaces the embedded-runtime script stripping regex with a script-tag scanner that handles closing tags like `</script >`.
- Escapes inline script bodies before wrapping them in `<script>` tags, so authored `</script` and `<!--` text cannot break out of the injected wrapper script.
- Shares media-duration clamping between core and producer, with a 50 ms tolerance for ffprobe precision drift between local and CI media stacks.
- Pins the affected style fixture SFX durations in source so style-1 and style-9 compile deterministically.
- Restores the `vfr-screen-recording` video golden to the CI-stable baseline; the current CI failure showed the Linux render matches the old golden, while the locally refreshed macOS golden was the mismatch.
## Root cause
The CLI paths had accumulated assumptions that held for simple direct-root landscape compositions but not for current composition patterns: DOM queries did not enter template content, snapshot/validate used a fixed viewport, runtime and author scripts shared a coalescing bucket, and timing compilation treated every video as audio-bearing unless authors manually overrode it.
The style shard failures were not product regressions. Local and CI media probing disagreed on the short SFX clip duration by about 45 ms, and the compiler was clamping authored durations to the locally probed value. The shared clamp tolerance preserves explicit author/source durations for small probe precision differences while still clamping real overflows.
The vfr fast-shard failure was a bad baseline refresh: CI actual frames matched the old `vfr-screen-recording` baseline at 40+ dB PSNR, but mismatched the macOS-refreshed golden at ~18-22 dB. The fix is to keep the Docker/Linux-stable video golden and only retain the deterministic compiled snapshot change.
The sub-composition regression came from treating a host's authored parent window as the only visibility boundary. That made settled child overlays stay visible after their own live GSAP timeline ended. The corrected runtime behavior respects both contracts: parent clips still bound where the host can appear, and the child live timeline can end the host earlier.

- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts snapshot /tmp/hf-589-gsap-repro --at 0.25 --timeout 2000` captures the expected template-backed red frame.
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts snapshot /tmp/hf-584-repro --at 0.5,1.5 --timeout 500` captures the expected post-seek green frame.
### Browser verification
- Refreshed the local side-by-side comparison page at `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/index.html`.
- Served the comparison page locally and used `agent-browser` to load `style-12-prod`, play both videos quickly to the failed window, pause, and inspect the side-by-side frame.
- Browser proof screenshot: `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/browser-proof/fixed-style12-labeled.png`.
- Browser proof recording: `qa-artifacts/pr-591-video-compare/browser-proof/fixed-style12.webm`.
- Earlier Studio proof artifacts remain local-only: `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview.png`, `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview-after-play.png`, `qa-artifacts/dedupe-refactor-preview.webm`.
## Notes
- Browser proof and CI diagnostic artifacts are intentionally local-only and not committed.
- Studio's Vite config intentionally keeps the thumbnail clip helper inline because Vite/Vitest config startup runs through Node's loader before package source `.ts` imports are transformed.
- The committed PR diff changes `vfr-screen-recording/output/compiled.html` but no longer changes `vfr-screen-recording/output/output.mp4` relative to `main`.
- I attempted a local `linux/amd64` Docker validation to mirror CI, but the local Docker build was blocked by Debian package download failures. The arm64 Docker image also cannot launch the x64 Puppeteer headless shell under OrbStack. The vfr baseline decision is therefore based on the uploaded CI artifact comparison above.
- I kept this validated issue batch in one PR because the fixes overlap the same CLI/runtime capture surfaces.
