Add @chenglou/pretext dependency and fitTextFontSize() utility that uses
canvas measureText to compute the largest font size that fits text within
a given width. Replaces character-count heuristics with actual font-aware
measurement.
- New fitTextFontSize() in @hyperframes/core/text, exposed on window.__hyperframes
- Generalized for all text elements (captions, titles, etc.), not just captions
- Unit tests (mocked pretext) + browser integration test (real Chromium canvas)
- Updated captions skill docs with usage, exit guarantee, and self-lint patterns

## Summary
The timeline is now hidden by default. A toggle button appears in both the header (alongside panel toggles) and the player controls bar. Both sync the same state and turn teal when the timeline is visible.
## Changes
- **`timelineVisible` state** in `App.tsx`, defaults to `false`
- **Header toggle**: icon button between sidebar toggle and Renders button
- **Player controls toggle**: icon button at the right end of the controls bar
- **NLELayout**: `timelineVisible` and `onToggleTimeline` props gate the timeline + resize divider
- **Player controls stay visible**: moved from inside the timeline section to inside the preview area, so hiding the timeline doesn't hide play/seek/timecode
## Behavior
| State | Preview | Player controls | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeline hidden (default) | Full height | ✅ Visible | Hidden |
| Timeline visible | Shorter | ✅ Visible | Shown with resize handle |
Both toggle buttons show identical teal active state (`#3CE6AC/10` bg + `#3CE6AC/30` border).

## Summary
Removes the `ProjectPicker` home screen entirely. The studio now boots directly into the editor by auto-selecting the first available project from `/api/projects`.
## Changes
- **Auto-select on load**: When no `#project/` hash is present, fetches the project list and navigates to the first one
- **Type narrowing**: Added `if (resolving || !projectId)` early return so TypeScript narrows `projectId` to `string` for all downstream props
- **Removed**: `ProjectPicker`, `ProjectCard`, `ExpandedPreviewIframe` components (~280 lines), `handleSelectProject` callback, `ProjectEntry` interface
## Why
The CLI studio always has exactly one project. The home page was an extra click with no value.
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
## Summary
- Adds `loadInlineTemplateCompositions` to the runtime to handle compositions defined inline via `<template id="X-template">` paired with empty host elements that have `data-composition-id="X"` but no `data-composition-src`
- Updates the HTML bundler to inline template content into matching hosts during compilation
- Users can now define sub-compositions inline instead of requiring separate files in `compositions/`
### Before
```html
<!-- This showed nothing — the template was inert and the host was empty -->
<template id="logo-reveal-template">
<div data-composition-id="logo-reveal" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
<style>...</style>
<script>/* animation */</script>
</div>
</template>
<div data-composition-id="logo-reveal" data-start="0" data-duration="10"
data-width="1920" data-height="1080"></div>
```
### After
The runtime detects the matching `<template>` and injects its content into the host element — styles hoisted to `<head>`, scripts executed, dimensions copied. Works in both preview and render.
## Test plan
- [x] 9 new unit tests for `loadInlineTemplateCompositions` (basic mount, no-op cases, style/script injection, dimensions)
- [x] 3 new unit tests for bundler inline template handling
- [x] All 384 existing tests pass
## 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
Adds `docs/guides/testing-local-changes.mdx` — a contributor guide explaining how to test unreleased CLI changes against real projects outside the monorepo.
**Covers:**
- `pnpm link --global` (recommended — makes `hyperframes` in `$PATH` point at your local build)
- `node` alias (no PATH changes)
- `npm pack` (test the exact artifact that would be published)
- Troubleshooting (`which hyperframes`, port conflicts, stale builds)
- Table of test scenarios for each bug category
Also registers the page in `docs/docs.json` so it appears in the Guides nav.
* fix(lint): detect GSAP animations targeting clip elements (tab crash)
The runtime manages clip visibility via inline styles. When GSAP also
writes inline styles on the same element, both systems trigger style
recalculations every frame, creating a runaway loop that crashes the
browser tab.
New rule gsap_animates_clip_element (error severity):
- Builds map of all elements with class="clip" (by id and class)
- Checks if any GSAP selector resolves to a clip element
- Nested selectors like "#overlay .title" are correctly ignored
- Merged into existing GSAP script loop (no redundant parsing)
* fix: remove non-null assertions and add missing test coverage
- Replace `!` assertions with optional chaining in lint.ts and tests
- Add shouldBlockRender tests for --strict-all without --strict
- Add clip element test for class-only detection (no id)

* fix: use optional chaining for array access in lintProject tests
TypeScript's strict mode flags array indexing as possibly undefined.
Use optional chaining and fallbacks instead of non-null assertions.

## 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
## Summary
- Surfaces error message when render fails due to producer server not running
- Two cases covered: initial POST failure and SSE connection drop
- Failed jobs now show the error reason in red text in the Renders panel
## Test plan
- [x] Start studio without producer server
- [x] Click render → should show "Could not reach render server" in red
- [x] Start render then kill producer → should show "Connection lost"

## Summary
- `hyperframes lint` now scans ALL HTML files in the project (not just index.html)
- Includes composition files in `compositions/` directory
- `--json` output includes `file` field and `filesScanned` count
- Exit code 1 on errors for CI integration
## Examples
```bash
# Human-friendly output
hyperframes lint
# Agent/CI-friendly JSON
hyperframes lint --json
```
## Test plan
- [ ] `hyperframes lint` on a project with compositions → shows findings from all files
- [ ] `hyperframes lint --json` → outputs valid JSON with all findings
- [ ] Exit code 1 when errors found, 0 when clean
## Summary
- When running `hyperframes dev .` inside a symlinked directory, the project name showed the resolved target name instead of the visible directory name
- Now uses `$PWD` to preserve the user-facing name
- Added `projectName` option to `StudioServerOptions` for explicit override
## Test plan
- [ ] `ln -s /path/to/project my-project && cd my-project && hyperframes dev .` → should show "my-project"
- [ ] `hyperframes dev /path/to/project` → should show "project" (basename of path)
## Summary
- Replaces ~850 lines of inline route handlers in `vite.config.ts` with the shared `createStudioApi(adapter)` module
- Implements `StudioApiAdapter` for the Vite dev server context (SSR-loaded bundler/linter, producer HTTP proxy, Puppeteer thumbnails)
- Bridges Hono `fetch()` to Vite's Connect middleware with streaming support for SSE
Now **both** consumers (CLI + studio) use the same shared API module, ensuring feature parity.
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm --filter @hyperframes/studio dev` starts correctly
- [x] Home page shows project grid with thumbnails
- [x] Preview plays with correct fonts/animations
- [x] Sub-composition drill-down works
- [x] Lint modal shows findings
- [x] File read/write works in code editor
- [x] Render queue works (requires producer server)

## Summary
Extracts all studio API routes into a shared Hono-based module at `@hyperframes/core/studio-api`.
### Architecture
- **`StudioApiAdapter` interface** — consumers inject host-specific behavior (project resolution, bundling, rendering, thumbnails)
- **Shared route modules**: projects, files, preview, lint, render, thumbnail
- **Shared helpers**: `isSafePath`, `walkDir`, `getMimeType`, `buildSubCompositionHtml`
### What this PR does
- Creates the shared module with all API routes extracted from both `vite.config.ts` and `studioServer.ts`
- Both consumers will be refactored in follow-up commits to mount this module with their own adapter
### What stays in each consumer
- **Vite**: SSR module loading, Puppeteer thumbnails, file watcher + HMR, producer HTTP proxy, multi-project scanning
- **CLI**: in-process `executeRenderJob`, local runtime serving, browser management, SPA static file serving
### Follow-up needed
- [ ] Refactor `packages/studio/vite.config.ts` to use `createStudioApi(adapter)` via `@hono/node-server`'s `getRequestListener`
- [ ] Refactor `packages/cli/src/server/studioServer.ts` to use `createStudioApi(adapter)`
- [ ] Add `./studio-api` export path to `packages/core/package.json`
- [ ] Add `hono` as peer dependency of `@hyperframes/core`
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify shared module compiles without type errors
- [ ] After consumer refactoring: all studio features work identically via both vite dev and CLI embedded servers

## Summary
- Composition HTML files are always wrapped in `<template id="...">` tags
- The linter was checking the raw HTML including the template wrapper, causing false positives:
- `missing-composition-id` on files that have it inside `<template>`
- `missing-dimensions` on files that have `data-width`/`data-height` inside `<template>`
- Fix: strip `<template>` wrapper before linting, matching how the runtime and preview server handle these files
## Test plan
- [x] Added test: `strips <template> wrapper before linting composition files`
- [x] All 345 existing tests pass
- [ ] Verify lint panel no longer shows false positives for composition files

## Changes
Added a new lint rule `gsap_css_transform_conflict` that detects when GSAP animations will silently overwrite CSS transforms.
**`gsap_css_transform_conflict` (error)** — fires when an element has `transform: translateX(-50%)` or `transform: scale()` in CSS and a GSAP `tl.to/from` tween animates `x`, `y`, `xPercent`, `yPercent`, or `scale`. GSAP silently overwrites the full CSS transform, discarding centering tricks like `translateX(-50%)`. Fix hint guides authors to the safe `fromTo` + `xPercent` pattern.
## Root cause
This bug surfaced while building compositions where title reveals were placed off-center because `tl.to("#title", { x: 0 })` stripped the `translateX(-50%)` centering from CSS.
## Test coverage
- [x] `gsap_css_transform_conflict` — `tl.to` with `x` on CSS `translateX` element → error
- [x] `gsap_css_transform_conflict` — `tl.to` with `scale` on CSS `scale()` element → error
- [x] `gsap_css_transform_conflict` — `tl.fromTo` without CSS transform → no finding
Detects querySelector/querySelectorAll calls that use template literal
variables (e.g. `${compId}`) inside script tags. The HTML bundler's
cheerio/css-what parser crashes on these during compilation, causing
silent fallback to raw HTML without runtime injection.
Severity: error (breaks bundling)
Fix: replace template literal with hardcoded composition ID string
## What
Adds 4 new composition templates and fixes structural issues across all templates.
### New templates
- **decision-tree** — animated flowchart with branching paths
- **kinetic-type** — bold kinetic typography promo
- **product-promo** — multi-scene product showcase with SVG assets (3 scenes)
- **nyt-graph** — animated data chart in NYT print editorial style
### Fixes across all templates
- GSAP updated from 3.12.2 → 3.14.2 (all templates, including warm-grain, swiss-grid, vignelli, play-mode)
- New templates restructured with proper root wrapper div, `data-duration`, sub-composition refs with `data-composition-id` / `data-width` / `data-height`
- nyt-chart: replaced `${compId}` template literal variables with hardcoded `"nyt-chart"` string — cheerio's css-what parser crashes on template literals during bundling, causing silent fallback to raw HTML without runtime injection
- nyt-chart: added DOM readiness retry for dynamically created SVG elements
- kinetic-type: removed external S3 audio URL
- All templates: GSAP script loaded in `<head>` before any scripts reference it
## Why
The new templates expand the range of content types available via `hyperframes init`. The fixes ensure all templates work correctly in the studio preview (bundler inlines sub-compositions and injects the runtime).
## Test plan
- [x] All 4 new templates render in studio preview
- [x] nyt-graph chart animates bars, line, and labels on playback
- [x] Existing templates unaffected (GSAP version bump is backwards compatible)
- [x] `hyperframes lint` passes on all templates
- [x] `generators.ts` updated with new template IDs
## Summary
- Adds `process.exit(0)` after render completes in the CLI `render` command
- Fixes the process hanging indefinitely after `npx hyperframes render --output video.mp4`
- Root cause: Node.js `fetch()` keep-alive pool (from update checks and telemetry) keeps TCP connections open, preventing the event loop from draining
- Telemetry is preserved — the `exit` handler in `cli.ts` calls `flushSync()` which spawns a detached child process
## Test plan
- [x] Run `npx hyperframes render --output test.mp4` and verify the process exits after completion
- [x] Verify telemetry events are still sent (check PostHog)

- README quick start now leads with opening in an AI agent after init
- Quickstart docs updated: interactive wizard is default, --non-interactive
replaces --human-friendly, edit step mentions AI agent workflow
- Init "next steps" now leads with opening in an AI agent as step 1,
followed by dev preview and render as steps 2 and 3
- Interactive init shows a tip about AI agent workflow after scaffolding
- Dev command output hints that compositions can be edited with an
AI agent and changes reload automatically in the studio

hyperframes.heygen.com alongside doc topic names, causing AI agents
to guess incorrect URLs like /compositions instead of using the local
`hyperframes docs` CLI command or the correct /concepts/compositions
path. Now explicitly directs agents to use the CLI for quick reference
and llms.txt for full doc URL discovery.
- Interactive wizard is now the default when running in a TTY terminal
- Non-interactive mode (for CI/agents) uses --non-interactive flag
- Template defaults to "blank" when not specified in non-interactive mode
- --template flag skips the template picker prompt in interactive mode
- Replaces --human-friendly flag with --non-interactive (inverted logic)
