Miguel Ángel 0e0a0e40d0 feat(cli): add --composition flag to render specific compositions (#631)
* feat(cli): add --composition flag to render specific compositions

Expose the existing entryFile config in the producer through
a new --composition / -c CLI flag. This lets users render
individual composition files without restructuring their project:

  hyperframes render -c compositions/intro.html -o intro.mp4

The flag validates the file exists before starting the render,
threads through both local and Docker render paths, and is
documented in the CLI help, examples, and docs.

* fix(cli): address PR review — path traversal guard, forward tests, tripwire

- Add path-containment check mirroring hyperframeLint.ts: reject
  --composition paths that escape the project directory
- Normalize leading ./ from composition paths for clean render plan output
- Improve error message: suggest .html file path instead of compositions command
- Add description note about <template> sub-composition constraint
- Add render.test.ts: entryFile forwarded to createRenderJob (forward + omit)
- Update dockerRunArgs tripwire test with entryFile coverage

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

List compositions found in the current project:

npx hyperframes compositions

benchmark

Run rendering benchmarks:

npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html

doctor
