Miguel Ángel 840f657028 feat(player): play and loop a range of a film with range-start and range-end (#4688)
* feat(player): play and loop a range of the film with range-start and range-end

The runtime takes a set-play-range control and stops on the range end frame itself.
The player wraps to range-start with loop, fires ended without it, and reports a
range cut to the film with rangeclamped. Video and __timelines players check it per tick.

* fix(player): hold a range on its last frame and let the runtime own range jumps

A runtime with the play-range capability jumps to range-start itself when a new range leaves
the playhead outside, so a stale state no longer ends the film; older runtimes keep the
player fallback, guarded until a state lands inside. Every range stop shows the last frame
before range-end; a paused playhead re-parks only when it falls outside the new range.

* fix(player): stop a range a check early and enforce its end on a video in a background tab

* test(player): share the range video setup

* fix(player): a slow frame no longer cuts a range short; a video without a range is unchanged

* fix(player): a range still stops early where video time moves once per frame

* refactor(player): cut the range look-ahead comment to one line

* fix(player): a per-frame video time rounded down still stops a range early

* test(player): pin no rounding tolerance at a film's own end

* test(studio): expect the play-range capability on control messages

@hyperframes/core

Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/core

Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.

What's inside

Module Description
Types TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults
Parsers parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations
Generators generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec
Compiler compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times
Linter lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.)
Runtime IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol
Frame Adapters Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom)

Generated composition trust

Composition generators require trusted authors for code-bearing inputs. styles and generateHyperframesStyles preserve authored CSS, which can load external resources. animations may contain __raw: values that are emitted as JavaScript; includeScripts: true includes executable timeline code. serializeGsapAnimations also accepts raw preamble, postamble, and a code-bearing timelineVar. Never fill these inputs with untrusted data. Attribute encoding and closing-tag containment are not a sandbox; render untrusted compositions in an appropriately isolated execution environment and never serve them on a privileged origin.

Text content retains the supported inline-formatting sanitizer contract. The clip parser intentionally flattens inner formatting to text, so parse/generate is not a lossless replacement for editing the source HTML.

Frame Adapters

A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:

import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
  getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
  compositionId: "my-video",
});

Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:

import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
  id: "my-adapter",
  getDurationFrames: () => 300,
  seekFrame: (frame) => {
    /* seek your animation */
  },
};

Parsing and generating HTML

import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";

const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);

Linting

import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";

const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
