* fix(cli): keep doctor resilient to a corrupt browser cache A partial or corrupt browser cache (a stub file where a version directory is expected, a missing executable, or malformed metadata) makes getInstalledBrowsers throw ENOTDIR. That throw propagated up through findBrowser -> checkChrome -> runEnvironmentChecks, and since doctor.run calls runEnvironmentChecks before any try/catch or the --json output, the command crashed with exit 1. doctor --json is documented to exit 0 even when checks fail, so it must report a corrupt cache as "Chrome not found", not crash on it. - checkChrome now catches any error from findBrowser and converts it to the existing ok:false "Chrome not found" outcome with the browser ensure hint, so runEnvironmentChecks never throws for a missing or corrupt browser. - findFromCache treats a throwing getInstalledBrowsers as "no cached browser", letting resolution fall through to system/download instead of crashing every caller (render included), not just doctor. A healthy browser still reports ok:true. Adds a preflight test asserting an ok:false Chrome outcome when discovery throws, instead of propagating. * fix(cli): warn on corrupt browser cache fallback
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 running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4:
npx hyperframes render ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
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

npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
