Adds a Blocks tab to the Studio left sidebar with the full 78-item registry
catalog (58 blocks + 20 components). Users can browse by category, search by
title/description, preview CDN-hosted poster thumbnails with video-on-hover,
and install items on-demand with one click or drag-to-timeline.
Core changes:
- BlockCategory type + resolveBlockCategory() for 7 categories (Captions, VFX,
Transitions, Effects, Social, Data, Scenes)
- Registry API routes: GET /api/registry/blocks (catalog) + POST install
- StudioApiAdapter extended with listRegistryCatalog + installRegistryBlock
- Vite adapter reads from disk; CLI adapter fetches from GitHub (24h cache)
- BlockParam interface + params on 6 blocks for future parameter controls
Studio UI:
- 4th sidebar tab "Blocks" with responsive grid, category pills, search bar
- BlockCard: CDN poster thumbnail, video autoplay on hover, duration + WebGL badges
- On-demand install: blocks append as sub-compositions on timeline; components
overlay at start=0 spanning full duration with transparent background patching
- TIMELINE_BLOCK_MIME drag-and-drop to timeline
- BlockParamsPanel (Phase 3 scaffold) auto-opens for parameterized blocks
Registry manifests:
- All 58 blocks backfilled with preview: { video, poster } CDN URLs
- All 20 components normalized to object format + poster URLs added
- 6 blocks annotated with params (Liquid Glass/Background, Portal, Chart,
Logo Outro, Magnetic)
- flowchart-vertical preview generated and uploaded to CDN
Run `fallow fix --auto-fixable` to remove `export` keywords from symbols
fallow's reachability analysis identifies as unused. Keeps only the cases
where the symbol is still referenced internally in its own file (so
removing `export` doesn't surface a new oxlint `no-unused-vars` error).
Result: fallow dead-code findings drop from 276 → 208 (68 fewer unused
exports), with no behavior change — each symbol is still defined and used
exactly the same way within its file.
Reverted ~20 files where fallow's auto-fix would have created cascading
"declared but never used" lint errors — those are cases where the symbol
isn't used at all, and properly cleaning them up means deleting the
declaration, not just dropping `export`. Better to land that as a
separate, narrower PR rather than mixing it into a mechanical de-export.
Also reverted four false positives where fallow missed real consumers:
- `captureCost.ts` (renderOrchestrator has two separate import blocks
from the same module; fallow only saw the first)
- `propertyPanelHelpers.ts`, `domEditingLayers.ts` (real internal uses
fallow's reachability missed)
- `render.ts` (functions imported via `await import()` dynamic import,
which fallow's static analysis doesn't follow)
Test plan: bun run --filter '*' typecheck (clean), oxlint + oxfmt clean,
cli/core/studio/engine vitest suites pass (335 + 917 + 576 + 605 tests).
