Miguel Ángel 5245e19062 feat(registry): add code snippet blocks with VS Code workbench (#1113)
* feat(registry): add VS Code theme visualizer example

Full VS Code workbench recreation with per-character typing animation
across 12 built-in themes. Includes activity bar, sidebar, tabs,
editor with line-by-line cursor tracking, terminal panel, and status
bar — all driven by official VS Code theme JSON files.

Themes: Dark Modern, Dark 2026, Dark+, Light Modern, Light 2026,
Light+, Visual Studio Dark, Visual Studio Light, High Contrast,
High Contrast Light, Solarized Light, Monokai.

Includes build scripts to regenerate compositions from theme JSON.

* feat(registry): add 12 code snippet blocks for hyperframes add code

Individual blocks for each VS Code built-in theme, all tagged "code"
so `npx hyperframes add code` installs the full set.

Each block is a self-contained VS Code workbench with per-character
typing animation, activity bar, sidebar, tabs, terminal, and status
bar driven by official theme JSON data.

* docs: add mdx pages for code snippet blocks and example

- 12 block doc pages under catalog/blocks/code-snippet-*
- "Code Snippets" nav group in docs.json
- vscode-theme-visualizer entry in examples.mdx

* docs: revert examples.mdx — code snippets belong in catalog only

* docs: drop redundant 'Code Snippet' prefix from sidebar titles

* docs: add video previews to code snippet catalog pages

* style: format HTML, CSS, and MJS files for CI

* fix: address review feedback — build pipeline, LICENSE, dead code, nav order

1. Build script now regenerates both example compositions AND published
   blocks in registry/blocks/code-snippet-*/, keeping them in sync.
2. Add MIT LICENSE for vendored VS Code theme JSONs (microsoft/vscode).
3. Remove dead `chars` variable from runtime, build script, all blocks,
   and all example compositions.
4. Alphabetize Code Snippets nav group in docs.json to match catalog
   convention.

* style: format all build-generated files (render-entries, CSS, index)

VS Code Theme Visualizer Design Notes

Intent

This POC should feel like a real VS Code tutorial capture, not a generic code window. The purpose is to prove that HyperFrames can render code-writing scenes with faithful product context and theme-aware polish.

Visual Identity

The visual identity is sourced from official VS Code built-in theme JSON files from microsoft/vscode/extensions/theme-defaults/themes. Do not invent palette values for the workbench. Colors should flow through the generated theme registry and CSS variables.

Theme Set

  • Light 2026
  • Dark 2026
  • Dark+
  • Dark Modern
  • Light+
  • Light Modern
  • Visual Studio Dark
  • Visual Studio Light
  • Default High Contrast
  • Default High Contrast Light

Typography

  • Workbench UI: Inter, then system UI fallbacks.
  • Code and terminal: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, then monospace fallbacks.
  • Keep letter spacing at 0.

Layout Rules

  • Recreate the VS Code workbench proportions: activity bar, explorer sidebar, editor tabs, editor gutter, status bar, and optional terminal panel.
  • Use official theme colors for editor, sidebar, tabs, activity bar, panel, terminal, and status bar surfaces.
  • Keep the composition full-frame at 1920x1080.
  • Cards are allowed only for the theme selector strip because they are repeated selectable items.
  • Do not use decorative gradients, glows, or synthetic color accents outside theme-derived colors.

Motion Rules

  • Theme changes should feel like command-palette theme switching: quick, crisp, and functional.
  • Code typing is the hero action. UI chrome should support it without becoming theatrical.
  • All animation must be deterministic and GSAP-controlled.
