* feat(media): alpha-capable authoring proxies
Alpha sources were refused a proxy before the codec map ever asked whether the
browser could decode them, so a ProRes 4444 alpha file (which no browser
previews at all) rendered black forever, while an alpha WebM (which previews
fine) was already covered by the browser-safe check on the next line. The alpha
veto earned nothing and cost the one case that needed help.
Alpha is now a target-codec choice rather than a veto: alpha sources transcode
to VP9 + yuva420p in WebM, everything else keeps the existing H.264/MP4 path
byte for byte. Only files no browser can preview are proxied, which is the rule
the runtime already followed everywhere else.
WebM cannot carry AAC, so the VP9 path uses Opus and drops the MP4-only
faststart flag. PROXY_PARAMS_VERSION moves to v3 so clients stop serving the
previously cached proxies.
Safari does not decode VP9 alpha and still shows black for alpha sources, as it
does today: this is better on Chromium and Firefox and no worse anywhere.
* fix(media): infer proxy variant for rescue
* fix(media): preserve alpha proxy hardening after restack
* feat(studio-server): serve H.264 proxies from the preview route
Wires the codec manifest and the transcoder into the preview surface: the route
negotiates a proxy via a query param and serves it through the existing range
and ETag machinery, composition HTML carries a codec map for the runtime, and
hostile assets pre-warm so a first play does not wait on a cold transcode.
Exposes the three subpath exports the CLI surfaces consume upstack.
Drops the TEMP fallow entry added with the transcoder: it has real importers now.
* fix(studio-server): publish media proxy exports
* fix(parsers): scan HTML comments linearly
* feat(cli): let projects opt out of automatic proxying
Adds media.autoProxy to hyperframes.json plus --proxy/--no-proxy flags, and
forwards the resolved value into the studio and preview servers and the vite
adapter. Lands before the runtime slice that turns auto-proxying on, so the
switch exists before there is any behavior to switch off.
* fix(cli): align media config schema
* feat(core): swap undecodable video to its proxy at runtime
Adds the browser-side half: before first load the runtime consults the injected
codec map and swaps a hostile source to its proxy, and if a video still reports
zero decodable width it rescues it reactively. An HEVC file carrying AAC fires
no error event, so zero videoWidth, not the error event, is the reliable signal.
Audio elements and alpha sources are never proxied, render mode never proxies,
and each swap evicts the element's stale sync state and reports once.
This completes the loop: auto-proxying is live for preview and studio from here.
The opt-out (media.autoProxy, --no-proxy) shipped in the previous slice.
* feat(cli): serve proxies from play, present, and the static project server
Adds proxy negotiation to the CLI-side servers and gives play byte-range
serving it never had, so a swapped video can seek. The static project server
behind check, snapshot, compare and friends injects the codec map once, so all
of its callers inherit the behavior; snapshot forwards its own proxy flag.
* fix(cli): serve proxies for camera formats
