* feat(cli): smart port selection with instance reuse
Replace the simple 10-port retry loop with best-in-class port handling:
- Multi-host port testing (127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, ::1, ::) catches ports
occupied by SSH forwarding or other interfaces invisible to localhost
- HTTP probe (/__hyperframes_config) detects existing HyperFrames
preview servers — reuses same-project instances instead of spawning
duplicates, skips different-project instances
- PID detection via lsof for actionable "Port N in use by PID X" logs
- Expanded scan range from 10 to 100 ports
- Added --force-new flag to bypass instance detection
- Async PID detection (execFile, no shell) and parallel host testing
Fixes the "10 ports are all in use" error that occurs when zombie
preview servers accumulate or devbox port forwarding occupies ports.

* feat(cli): add --list and --kill-all flags to preview command
- `hyperframes preview --list` scans the port range and displays all
active HyperFrames preview servers with their project name, directory,
and PID
- `hyperframes preview --kill-all` kills all active preview servers
- Port scanning uses parallel batched probes (20 at a time) for speed
Gives users visibility into zombie preview servers and a one-command
way to clean them up.

## Summary
- Adds `--format mov` to the render CLI for ProRes 4444 transparent video output
- ProRes 4444 with alpha is the industry standard for transparent video overlays, supported by CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, and After Effects
- WebM VP9 alpha technically works but is ignored by all major video editors — only browsers decode it
- Adds MOV to the studio export dropdown alongside MP4 and WebM
## Transparency format comparison
| Format | Codec | Alpha | Video editors | Browsers | File size |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **MOV** | ProRes 4444 | Yes | CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, After Effects | No (won't play in browser) | Large (~5-40 MB) |
| **WebM** | VP9 | Yes | None (shows black) | Chrome, Firefox | Small (~200 KB) |
| **MP4** | H.264 | No | All | All | Small |
> **Note:** ProRes MOV files do not play in Chromium browsers — they are an intermediate/editing format, not a delivery format. Use [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video) to verify transparency works correctly.
## Changes
- **CLI**: Add `mov` to `--format` validation, examples, and output path logic
- **Engine**: `getEncoderPreset()` returns ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p10le`) for `mov` format; handle `.mov` in `applyFaststart` and `muxVideoWithAudio`; add `pix_fmt` to streaming encoder ProRes path
- **Producer**: Treat `mov` like `webm` for alpha capture (PNG frames, screenshot mode, `forceScreenshot`)
- **Studio**: Add MOV option to export format dropdown and render queue hook
- **Core**: Add `mov` to studio API types, render route, and mime helpers
- **Tests**: Add encoder preset tests for mov format (42 total, all passing)
## Usage
```bash
hyperframes render --format mov --output overlay.mov
```
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm build` passes
- [x] `pnpm --filter @hyperframes/engine test` — 42 tests pass (2 new for MOV)
- [x] `oxlint` and `oxfmt` clean on all 12 changed files
- [x] End-to-end local render produces ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p12le`) with working alpha
- [x] Docker render with `--format mov` — ProRes 4444 confirmed via ffprobe
- [x] Studio dropdown shows MOV option in built JS
- [x] Transparency verified with [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video)
## Summary
- **The `--docker` flag was a no-op stub** — `renderDocker` called the same local `executeRenderJob` as `renderLocal`, no container was ever launched
- Now `renderDocker` generates a Dockerfile, builds a versioned `hyperframes-renderer:<version>` image with Chrome/FFmpeg/fonts/chrome-headless-shell, and runs the render inside a container
- Image is cached per CLI version — first render builds (~2 min), subsequent renders reuse it
- Forces `linux/amd64` platform since chrome-headless-shell has no ARM Linux binary
- Uses `execFileSync` (array form) throughout to prevent shell injection
- Forwards `--quiet`, `--gpu`, and render config flags into the container
- `Dockerfile.render` added as a reference for manual builds
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes render --docker` builds image and produces valid MP4
- [x] Second run reuses cached image (no rebuild)
- [x] `--quiet` suppresses container output while keeping stderr for errors
- [x] Typecheck, lint, format all pass
- [ ] Verify `--gpu` with `--docker` on a machine with GPU access
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
## Summary
One-character fix: removes leading `/` from the preview URL hash.
Dev mode opened `#/project/<name>` but the studio expects `#project/<name>`. The route regex in `App.tsx` (`/^#project\/([^/]+)/`) never matched the slash-prefixed hash, so it fell through to auto-selecting the first project from `/api/projects` — ignoring the project path you passed on the CLI.
## Root cause
```
// preview.ts dev mode (line 176) — WRONG
`${frontendUrl}#/project/${pName}`
// App.tsx route parser (line 34) — expects this format
window.location.hash.match(/^#project\/([^/]+)/)
```
Local-studio mode and embedded mode already used the correct `#project/` format.
## Test plan
- [x] Typecheck passes
- [x] `npx tsx cli preview /path/to/project` opens the correct project in the studio
* refactor(skills): consolidate 15 skills into 3 for better trigger reliability
Merge 9 GSAP skills (core, timeline, scrolltrigger, plugins, utils, react,
frameworks, performance, effects) and 6 HyperFrames skills (compose, captions,
tts, audio-reactive, marker-highlight, cli) into 3 consolidated skills:
- `gsap` — core API + timelines + performance in SKILL.md; scrolltrigger,
plugins, utils, react, frameworks, effects in references/
- `hyperframes` — composition authoring rules in SKILL.md; captions, tts,
audio-reactive, marker-highlight in references/
- `hyperframes-cli` — CLI commands (init, lint, preview, render, etc.)
Why: With 15 separate skills, agents must correctly trigger the right subset
for any task. "Create an animated video with captions" needed 6+ skills to
fire — each with ~90% trigger accuracy means ~53% chance of getting all of
them. With 3 skills, that same task needs just `hyperframes` + `gsap` (~90%
both fire). Progressive disclosure still works via references/ files loaded
on demand.
Also fixes: CLAUDE.md referenced `window.__GSAP_TIMELINE` (incorrect) —
corrected to `window.__timelines`.

* feat(cli): add --skip-skills flag to init command
Allow skipping the AI coding skills installation prompt during
`hyperframes init` with `--skip-skills`. Useful when skills are
already installed or when the user wants to scaffold without them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): address code review feedback on consolidation
Restore content lost during over-compression:
- captions: fix overflow to `visible` (not hidden — clips glow effects),
add container pattern warning, scale headroom formula, and self-lint
placement guidance
- audio-reactive: restore sampling frequency pattern (per-frame tl.call
loop vs single tween) and textShadow-on-container gotcha
- effects/typewriter: restore word rotation, appending words, spacing
with static text, and multi-line cursor handoff patterns
- effects/audio-visualizer: restore spatial mapping conventions, fetch vs
inline loading, WebGL/DOM rendering approaches, and canvas layering
- hyperframes-cli: restore --strict-all flag in render flags table
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): update build:copy and template for consolidated skill names
- build:copy: reference skills/hyperframes, skills/hyperframes-cli,
skills/gsap instead of the old 15 skill directory names
- _shared/CLAUDE.md template: update skill table to consolidated names

## Summary
Two independent initiatives that improve agent DX and expand HyperFrames' reach.
### Initiative 1: Fix the Clip Animation Footgun
- `gsap_animates_clip_element` lint rule now uses smart detection — only errors when GSAP animates `visibility` or `display` on a clip element
- All other properties (opacity, transform, x, y, scale, etc.) are allowed silently
- This was the #1 agent failure in QA (10/10 agents hit it on v0.2.1)
### Initiative 2: `<hyperframes-player>` Web Component
- New `@hyperframes/player` package — zero dependencies, 3.3KB gzipped
- Iframe-based web component with Shadow DOM for perfect isolation
- Video-like API: `play()`, `pause()`, `seek()`, `currentTime`, `duration`, events
- Controls overlay with play/pause, scrubber (mouse + touch), time display, auto-hide
- Full docs page at `docs/packages/player.mdx`
## Before / After
### Clip animation lint
**Before (10/10 agents hit this):**
```
✗ gsap_animates_clip_element: GSAP animation targets a clip element.
Selector "#title" resolves to element <div id="title" class="clip">.
The framework manages clip visibility — animate an inner wrapper instead.
Fix: Wrap content in a child <div> and target that with GSAP.
```
**After (only errors on actual conflicts):**
```
# This passes lint — no error:
tl.from("#title", { opacity: 0, y: -50, scale: 0.8 }, 0);
# This still errors — actual conflict with runtime:
tl.to("#title", { visibility: "hidden" }, 3);
✗ gsap_animates_clip_element: GSAP animation sets visibility on a clip element.
Fix: Remove the visibility/display tween. Use opacity for fade effects.
```
### Embeddable player
**Before:** No way to embed a composition in a web page.
**After:**
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@hyperframes/player"></script>
<hyperframes-player src="./composition/index.html" controls></hyperframes-player>
```
```js
const player = document.querySelector('hyperframes-player');
player.play();
player.pause();
player.seek(2.5);
player.addEventListener('ready', (e) => console.log('Duration:', e.detail.duration));
```
## Test plan
- [x] 427 core tests pass (20 GSAP lint tests with smart detection)
- [x] 7 player tests pass (formatTime + element registration)
- [x] TypeScript compiles cleanly (core + player)
- [x] Lint: GSAP animating clip with safe props → 0 errors
- [x] Lint: GSAP animating clip with `visibility` → 1 error (correct)
- [x] Player builds to 3.3KB gzipped ESM
- [x] Lockfile updated for CI
- [x] Docs page added at `docs/packages/player.mdx`
## Summary
Addresses all 8 issues from the QA report to improve agent and user experience.
### P0 — Must Fix
- **Blank template broken captions**: Removed `compositions/captions.html` and its reference from the blank template. Every agent (10/10) hit 404 errors during render.
- **Inner-wrapper example**: Added a clear structural comment in the blank template showing the correct `class="clip"` + inner wrapper pattern.
- **Sub-composition introspection**: `hyperframes compositions` now reads external HTML files referenced via `data-composition-src` and shows their real duration/element count instead of `0.0s / 0 elements`.
### P1 — Fix Soon
- **Font mapping warnings**: Now lists all mapped fonts, suggests alternatives (use a mapped font, add @font-face, install locally), and links to docs.
- **Browser 404s**: Non-font "Failed to load resource" 404s now prefixed with `[non-blocking]` instead of `[Browser:ERROR]`.
- **Render concurrency**: Default workers increased from `cores/2` (max 4) to `cores*3/4` (max 6). Added `--concurrency` alias.
### P2 — Nice to Have
- **Transform conflict fix suggestion**: `gsap_css_transform_conflict` now suggests exact GSAP property replacements (e.g., `xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`).
- **Upgrade --yes**: Now actually runs the install instead of just printing the command.
## Before / After
### Font mapping warning
**Before:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
```
**After:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
Mapped fonts: arial → inter, courier → jetbrains-mono, ...
To fix, pick one:
1. Use a mapped font name instead (see list above)
2. Add a @font-face block in your HTML with a local or hosted font file
3. Install the font locally on the render machine (Docker: add to Dockerfile)
4. Add an alias to FONT_ALIASES in deterministicFonts.ts (for contributors)
```
### Browser 404s during render
**Before:** `[Browser:ERROR] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
**After:** `[non-blocking] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
### Transform conflict lint
**Before:** `Fix: Remove the transform from CSS and use tl.fromTo...`
**After:** `Fix: Remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%) from CSS and replace with GSAP properties: xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`
### Compositions command
**Before:**
```
overlay 0.0s 1920×1080 0 elements
```
**After:**
```
overlay 8.0s 1920×1080 2 elements ← compositions/overlay.html
```
## Test plan
- [x] All 422 core tests pass
- [x] TypeScript compiles cleanly (all 4 packages)
- [x] Full monorepo build succeeds
- [x] `hyperframes init --template blank` ships without broken captions reference
Replace the static "Tip" message at the end of `hyperframes init` with an
interactive prompt that offers to install AI coding skills. When the user
accepts, the skills command runs `npx skills add` with `--all` and
`stdio: "inherit"` so the native installer output is visible.

## Summary
- `cheerio` pulls `encoding-sniffer` → `whatwg-encoding@3.1.1` (deprecated), causing a warning on every `npm install -g hyperframes`
- `linkedom` was already bundled into the CLI via tsup `noExternal` and has zero deprecated transitive deps
- Rewrote `htmlBundler.ts` and `subComposition.ts` to use standard DOM APIs via `linkedom`
- Added a `parseHTMLContent` helper that wraps HTML fragments in a full document structure (required for `linkedom` to populate `document.body`)
- Removed `cheerio` from `cli` dependencies and tsup `external` list
- Replaced `cheerio` with `linkedom` in `core` `optionalDependencies`
## Test plan
- [x] All 411 tests pass (`bun run test` in `packages/core`)
- [x] Full monorepo build succeeds (`bun run build`)
- [x] TypeScript typecheck passes
* feat(cli): add skills command that installs all without selection
Wraps `npx skills add --all -g` so users don't need to manually
select skills or targets. Just run `hyperframes skills` and everything
gets installed to all supported AI tools.

Two issues prevented `npx hyperframes` from running:
1. The tsup banner declared `const __filename` which collided with
esbuild's CJS-to-ESM `var __filename` shim. ESM strict mode
rejects const+var redeclaration. Changed to `var` so both
declarations coexist.
2. postcss (producer dependency) was not resolvable during bundling
due to bun's isolated module layout. Added postcss as an external
dependency of the CLI package.

## What
Added GSAP CDN imports to all template compositions and improved project linting to skip template placeholders.
## Why
Templates were missing GSAP script imports, causing JavaScript errors when GSAP animations tried to execute. The linter was also incorrectly flagging template placeholder values like `__VIDEO_SRC__` as missing audio sources.
## How
- Added `<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>` to all composition HTML files
- Updated `lintAudioSrcNotFound` function to skip template placeholders matching the pattern `__[A-Z_]+__`
- Fixed GSAP animation properties by adding `overwrite: "auto"` to prevent conflicts
- Replaced CSS transforms with GSAP `gsap.set()` calls for better animation control
- Moved video elements outside timed containers in some templates to avoid nesting issues
- Standardized transcript data format to use double quotes for JSON consistency
- Added proper timeline initialization with `window.__timelines = window.__timelines || {}`
- Enhanced caption styling with overflow handling and max-width constraints
## Test plan
- [x] Manual testing performed
- [x] Verified GSAP animations work correctly in all templates
- [x] Confirmed linter no longer flags template placeholders as errors
- [x] Tested video playback and audio synchronization
## Summary
- **`info`** **command** now reads actual `data-width`/`data-height` from the root composition element instead of hardcoding 1920x1080 or 1080x1920 based on a parser heuristic that defaults to "portrait"
- **Update check** now uses proper semver comparison instead of string inequality (`!== VERSION`). Previously reported "update available" when installed `0.2.1` and npm had `0.2.0`
**Part 2 of 5** in a stacked PR series fixing E2E test findings.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx hyperframes info` on a 1920x1080 project shows "1920x1080" (not "1080x1920")
- [x] `npx hyperframes info --json` returns correct width/height fields
- [x] Version check no longer reports downgrade as available update
Move per-command examples from the centralized `help.ts` record into
each command file as `export const examples: Example[]`. help.ts now
dynamically imports them at --help time.
This means adding a new command and its examples happens in one file
instead of two, reducing the chance of forgetting examples.

* feat(cli): add `tts` command for local text-to-speech via Kokoro-82M
Adds `hyperframes tts` — generate speech audio locally using Kokoro-82M
(ONNX), no API key needed. Mirrors the transcribe command architecture.
- New command: `hyperframes tts "text" --voice af_heart --output speech.wav`
- 54 voices across 8 languages, ~5x realtime on CPU
- Auto-downloads model (~311 MB) + voices (~27 MB) to ~/.cache/hyperframes/tts/
- Requires Python 3.8+ with kokoro-onnx installed
- Extracted shared `downloadFile` utility from whisper/manager.ts with
atomic .tmp→rename to prevent partial download corruption
- Added hyperframes-tts skill with voice selection guide
- Updated CLAUDE.md with TTS docs, voice table, and skill reference
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tts): improve skill per skill-creator guidelines
- Move trigger info from body to frontmatter description
- Remove `trigger` field (not a valid frontmatter field)
- Remove CLI flag docs Claude can derive from --help
- Remove redundant voice tables (keep content-to-voice mapping)
- Fix composition audio example to use actual <audio> element pattern
- Keep non-obvious workflows: TTS+transcribe for captions, long scripts
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tts): add guidance for using external TTS sources
Help users understand when to use cloud TTS (voice cloning, broader
languages, higher quality) vs the built-in Kokoro model, and how
external audio integrates into the same composition workflow.

* docs(tts): prioritize HeyGen API as recommended cloud TTS

* docs(tts): remove external TTS section for now
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(tts): set required: false on input arg so --list works standalone
Citty treats positional args as required by default unless explicitly
set to required: false. Without this, `hyperframes tts --list` fails
with "Missing required positional argument".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(tts): add --help examples and fix required:false for --list
Add examples section to `tts --help` matching the pattern from other
commands (transcribe, render, etc.). Fix citty positional arg requiring
explicit `required: false` for --list to work standalone.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add CLI command checklist to CLAUDE.md
Ensure new commands always get --help examples in help.ts.

## Summary
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time, no per-frame callbacks needed
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility
- Add multilingual model guidance and decision tree for model selection
## Test plan
- [ ] Skill files render correctly as markdown
- [ ] Cross-references between SKILL.md, dynamic-techniques.md, and transcript-guide.md resolve correctly
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
## Summary
**Whisper improvements:**
- Auto-detect language and switch from `.en` to multilingual model when needed
- Detect speech onset in WAV to strip hallucinated words before speech begins
- Merge whisper-cpp token fragments: contractions (`didn` + `'t` → `didn't`), split capitals (`C` + `aught` → `Caught`), dropped-g (`shin` + `in'` → `shinin'`)
- Interpolate zero-duration word clusters for reliable karaoke timing
**Captions skill updates (folded from #176):**
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility
**Multilingual defaults (folded from #186):**
- Default whisper model changed from `small.en` to `small` to prevent silent translation of non-English audio
- Added non-negotiable language rule to captions skill
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm test` passes (contraction merging, fragment merging, zero-duration interpolation, speech onset)
- [ ] Transcribe non-English audio — verify it transcribes in original language, not translates
- [ ] Skill files render correctly, cross-references resolve
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops

* feat(cli): improve --help with grouped commands and per-command examples
Replaces citty's flat COMMANDS list with kubectl-style grouped categories
and adds examples to every subcommand. Root help now groups 14 commands
into 5 categories (Getting Started, Project, Tooling, AI & Integrations,
Settings). Per-command --help now appends a formatted Examples section
with practical usage patterns.

* refactor(cli): use shared colors, lazy-load help, fix description drift
- Replace hand-rolled ANSI helpers with existing ui/colors.ts (fixes
non-conformant NO_COLOR handling)
- Add cyan and gray to shared color module
- Lazy-load help.ts via dynamic import to avoid allocating help data
on non-help invocations
- Fix description drift: benchmark and transcribe descriptions now
match their command meta.description
- Unify tuple order: ROOT_EXAMPLES now uses [comment, command] to
match COMMAND_EXAMPLES
- Remove redundant comment restating type annotation

## What
Added progress reporting to the skills installation process by converting synchronous operations to asynchronous ones and implementing progress callbacks.
## Why
The skills installation process can take a significant amount of time, especially when cloning repositories or running npm operations. Users need feedback about what's happening during the installation to understand progress and know the system hasn't frozen.
## How
- Converted `execFileSync` calls to a new `execFileAsync` function using promises
- Made all installation functions (`runSkillsAdd`, `gitClone`, `fetchRepo`, `fallbackInstall`) asynchronous
- Added an optional `onProgress` callback parameter to `installAllSkills` that accepts progress messages
- Integrated progress reporting in the `init` command by passing spinner message updates to the progress callback
- Added progress messages for key installation steps like "Installing {source} skills..." and "Cloning skill repositories..."
- Added "giget" to the external dependencies list in the build configuration
## Test plan
- [ ] Unit tests added/updated
- [ ] Manual testing performed
- [ ] Documentation updated (if applicable)
* feat(cli): add remote template fetching via giget
* fix: update remote.ts to use templates/ instead of examples/
* fix(cli): validate template ID against manifest before downloading
Fails fast with available template list instead of downloading
an empty directory for nonexistent templates.
* refactor(cli): simplify to single --template flag with dynamic validation
- Remove --example flag (--template handles bundled + remote)
- Remove static ALL_TEMPLATE_IDS list (validates against GitHub manifest)
- No CLI release needed to add new templates — just add to templates/ and templates.json
- scaffoldProject auto-detects bundled vs remote
* chore: update lockfiles for giget dependency
* fix(cli): remove undefined isAudioOnly reference
* refactor(cli): move templates to examples/ for remote fetching
* refactor(cli): rename examples/ to templates/ for clarity
Follows Remix/Vite convention — these are init scaffolds, not general examples.
## Summary
- **Streamline init from 7 steps to 3**: name → template → auto-opens studio preview
- **Remove** interactive "Got a video or audio file?" prompt (`--video`/`--audio` flags still work)
- **Remove** "What do you want to do?" post-scaffold menu (auto-launches preview)
- **Fast startup**: `--version` exits in ~10ms (lazy-load telemetry + update checker)
- **Brand teal**: CLI accent color is now `#3CE6AC` instead of generic cyan
### Before
```
name → overwrite? → media file? → [drag file] → transcribe? → pick template (9) → what next?
```
### After
```
name → pick template → auto-opens studio
```
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes init my-project` — should prompt name + template, then auto-open preview
- [x] `hyperframes --version` — should print version instantly (~10ms)
- [x] `hyperframes init --video path.mp4 my-project` — video flag still works
- [x] `hyperframes init --template blank my-project` — template flag still works
- [x] Verify teal accent color in terminal output
Displays a white → #74E1B9 → #6ADCFF gradient HYPERFRAMES banner
using ANSI Shadow figlet font when running hyperframes init.
Gracefully skips in non-TTY or no-color environments.

* feat(skills): add hyperframes-cli skill for CLI workflow guidance
Adds a new skill that teaches AI agents how to use the HyperFrames CLI
(init, lint, dev, render, doctor). Previously, agents had no way to
discover the CLI — the compose-video skill only covered HTML authoring.
This led to agents searching for binaries, finding the monorepo, and
running bun run studio manually instead of using npx hyperframes dev.
Also registers the skill in init.ts so new projects get it bundled
alongside hyperframes-compose and hyperframes-captions.

* refactor(cli): rename dev command to preview
The command starts a preview server — "preview" describes what users
are doing more accurately than "dev". Updates the command name, file
name, all CLI references, docs, skills, and template CLAUDE.md.
22 files updated across CLI source, docs, skills, and templates.

* fix(docs): catch remaining dev references missed in rename
- testing-local-changes.mdx: two inline command examples
- troubleshooting.mdx: anchor link #dev → #preview, "dev server" → "preview server"

- Replace hardcoded template list in build:copy with `cp -r src/templates/*`
so new templates are included automatically (kinetic-type, decision-tree,
product-promo, nyt-graph were missing from published package)
- Fix captions SKILL.md: reword `!` and `>` in inline backticks that
triggered Claude Code's bash permission checker
- Add scripts/lint-skills.ts to catch shell-unsafe patterns in SKILL.md
files (runs as part of `bun run lint` in CI)

* feat(cli,core): add standalone transcribe command, transcript normalization, and caption lint rules
- Add `hyperframes transcribe` command for transcribing audio/video and importing
existing transcripts (SRT, VTT, OpenAI Whisper API JSON, whisper.cpp JSON)
- Add transcript format normalizer (normalize.ts) with auto-detection and
conversion to standard [{text, start, end}] word arrays
- Upgrade default whisper model from base.en to small.en for better accuracy
- Add --model and --language flags to both `transcribe` and `init` commands
- Extract shared patchCaptionHtml() to eliminate duplication between init.ts
and transcribe.ts (init.ts reduced by ~55 lines)
- Add 3 caption lint rules: caption_exit_missing_hard_kill,
caption_text_overflow_risk, caption_container_relative_position
- Update captions skill with model guide, format docs, music guidance,
text overflow prevention, caption exit guarantee pattern
- Expand captions skill trigger to cover lyrics, karaoke, lyric videos

* docs(cli): add transcribe command and --model/--language flags to CLI docs
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): fix blank template lint issues
- blank/index.html: remove data-start from video (was nested in timed parent),
add class="clip" for initial hidden state
- blank/captions.html: add max-width + overflow:hidden to prevent text clipping,
add tl.set hard kill after exit tween to prevent stuck captions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add lint-after-edit rule to repo and project CLAUDE.md
Agents must run `npx hyperframes lint` after editing compositions.
Also expand captions skill description in project template.

## 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
* 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)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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
- `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
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
- CLI render: use timestamped filenames (`project_date_time.ext`) matching the studio's naming convention, preventing overwrites of previous renders
- studioServer: read `fps`/`quality`/`format` from POST body instead of hardcoding `fps:30`/`quality:standard`/`mp4`
- studioServer: use timestamped job IDs matching the studio pattern
- studioServer: fix download endpoint to serve correct content-type for WebM
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes render --format webm` outputs timestamped WebM file
- [x] `hyperframes render` outputs timestamped MP4 (no overwrite)
- [x] Studio embedded server (`hyperframes dev`) renders with correct format when selected in UI
- [x] Download endpoint serves correct MIME type for WebM renders
* feat(cli): add system metrics to telemetry and expand doctor command
Enrich render telemetry with device/environment metadata (CPU, memory,
OS, Docker/CI/WSL detection) following patterns from Next.js and
Turborepo. Add speed_ratio (render time / composition duration),
per-frame capture timing, and resource usage to render events.
Expand the doctor command with CPU, memory, disk, /dev/shm, and
environment checks to help debug rendering issues on user machines.

* fix(cli): invert speed_ratio to match experiment-framework convention
composition_duration / render_time — higher is better, >1 means faster
than realtime. Matches magic_edit.render.speed_ratio in experiment-framework.

* fix(cli): wire errorMessage into render error telemetry
Address review feedback — the errorMessage field was declared in the
trackRenderError interface but never populated.

* feat(cli): add render telemetry to embedded studio server
Track render_complete and render_error from the studio's render API
endpoint (hyperframes dev). Uses dynamic imports so telemetry is
resolved at call time within the CLI package — no telemetry coupling
added to @hyperframes/studio or @hyperframes/producer.
