* fix(cli): wait for consent navigation before cataloging assets A consent click can reload the page (some CMPs reload once consent is stored). The post-click DOM reads then raced the navigation: the overlay sweep and scrollHeight probe ran against a torn-down or still-parsing document, scroll screenshots degraded to a handful of shots, and the asset catalog observed an empty body (0 assets). Add waitForPageReady: wait for network idle, then poll document.readyState so a committed-but-still-parsing reload is also waited out — network-idle alone stops counting a request once its response headers arrive, and waitForNavigation deadlocks when armed after the commit. The overlay sweep now runs on the settled document instead of the pre-reload one, and the same settle guards the asset catalog boundary. Fixes #4923 * fix(cli): bound consent-click settle by wall clock and skip it on banner-free pages waitForPageReady now shares one deadline (timeoutMs, capped by the remaining capture budget) across its network-idle waits and readyState poll, uses waitForNetworkIdle concurrency: 2 (the networkidle2 semantic navigation already uses), races each readyState evaluate against the deadline, and rethrows degradable evaluate timeouts so the stage can degrade. captureScrollScreenshots only pays the settle when the consent sweep clicked a control or performance.timeOrigin shows the document was swapped; the catalog boundary call degrades to a budget-bounded readyState check (networkIdle: after-load). * fix(cli): drop added comments to keep comment share at merge-base * fix(cli): adapt consent-settle tests to ScreenshotCaptureResult and keep comment share flat * fix(cli): tolerate missing waitForNetworkIdle in consent settle waitForPageReady called page.waitForNetworkIdle unconditionally; a Page-shaped double without it throws a synchronous TypeError that captureScrollScreenshots' catch-all reports as internal-error with zero screenshots, breaking the partial-budget contract upstream's coreExtractionPhase.test.ts exercises with a thin mock page. The idle wait is best-effort, so make the hook optional and swallow its failures; also only keep the readyState poll alive while the page affirmatively reports "loading" so a non-boolean result cannot burn the settle deadline.
hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
audio
Measure where sounds land: onsets, the moment each sound peaks, loudness and silence. Give files, or query the film's own clips in film time:
npx hyperframes audio sfx/whoosh.mp3
npx hyperframes audio --at 12 --json
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
render
Render a composition to MP4. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
A render stops when the process that started it exits. To keep one running after
its launcher exits, set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 and start it in its own
process group, e.g. bash -c 'set -m; HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 npx hyperframes render -o out.mp4 < /dev/null > render.log 2>&1 &'.
Piped, non-quiet renders emit a single @hf-diagnostic JSON line when an audio
failure reaches the CLI error handler. Version 1 has operation: "render" and
at most 16 audioFailures: allowlisted stage, reason, owner, retryable, and
optional subprocess exit code, signal, termination reason and OS code. It omits
messages, stderr, source paths/URLs, element IDs and command arguments. Consumers
must ignore unknown versions and fields. This is local CLI output; uploading it
requires the caller's existing consent and privacy checks. Quiet mode (including
batch JSON mode) emits no diagnostic line.
This covers audio preparation and mix failures, including the typed external interruption path. Probe failures retain their existing stage/reason but do not gain subprocess evidence here; browser/FX failures remain classified as internal. Desktop ingestion and live report delivery are separate changes.
publish
Upload a project directory and get a hosted URL that keeps working after the CLI exits. Published projects are private by default:
npx hyperframes publish
npx hyperframes publish ./my-video
npx hyperframes publish --public
npx hyperframes publish --yes
Signed-out publishing returns an authentication-required claim URL; opening it
lets someone sign in and claim the project. Sign in first with
npx hyperframes auth login to publish an owned project you can update. Use
--public to make the claimed project visible to anyone. --yes only skips the
confirmation prompt and does not change visibility.
Signed-in publishers can use --update <url-or-id> to target an existing project
or --space <space-id> to publish into a shared team space. If the requested
project is missing or inaccessible, publishing can create a new project instead;
check the printed URL and status.
See the publish reference for all options, including video proxy settings.
lint
Validate your Hyperframes HTML:
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose # Include info-level findings
By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
