Vance IngallsandClaude Fable 5 0e58344dca feat(engine): frame-capture core — fast-capture routing, worker-encode, dedup extension (#1919)
* feat(engine): drawElementImage capture service

* chore(ci): ignore drawElementService exports pending upstack consumers

Fallow's per-PR audit diffs against the merge base, so the bottom of the
fast-capture stack (#1917) sees drawElementService's exports as unused —
their consumers (frameCapture) land in #1919, two PRs upstack. ignoreExports
entry documents this and can be dropped once #1919 merges.

* feat(engine): 3D projection + compositor-effect risk gate

* fix(engine): gate filter drop-shadow wherever blur gates (review)

detectCssEffectRisk documented drop-shadow as a ~29dB damage case but only
detected blur( in its three scan paths — a drop-shadow comp stayed on the
fast path despite the gate's own correctness contract. Detect drop-shadow(
in computed styles, stylesheet rules, and GSAP tween vars, pinned by a
focused test that runs the real page-side closure against a DOM shim
(computed / stylesheet / tween coverage + blur regression + effect-free
null).

Addresses miguel-heygen's blocker on #1918.

* fix(engine): document HF_FORCE_DRAWELEMENT as diagnostic-only; make armStaticDedup idempotent (review)

Addresses miguel-heygen's blockers on #1919:

- HF_FORCE_DRAWELEMENT promoted from a stale "SCRATCH/Uncommitted" comment to
  a documented diagnostic flag: it exists for upstream-Chromium repro work
  (gate-vs-API isolation, crbug 521861819 149-vs-151) and R&D on gated effect
  classes; renders under it may be damaged BY DESIGN since it bypasses gates
  whose thresholds encode measured damage. Never production; the safety-net
  blank guard also stands down under it so diagnostic frames arrive unmodified.
- armStaticDedup is now idempotent: the drawElement init path arms dedup
  before canvas injection, then initializeSession called it again — the
  second run overwrote the armed state with skipReason="capture_mode"
  (captureMode is "drawelement" by then), producing contradictory telemetry
  (armed frames + a skip reason), and re-ran the verification seeks on the
  fallback path. It now no-ops once staticFrames or a skip decision exists.

@hyperframes/engine

Seekable web-page-to-video rendering engine built on Puppeteer and FFmpeg.

Framework-agnostic: works with GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, CSS animations, or any web content that implements the window.__hf seek protocol.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/engine

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded by Puppeteer), FFmpeg

What it does

The engine opens your HTML composition in a headless Chrome instance, seeks frame-by-frame using Chrome's HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame API, captures screenshots, and encodes them into video with FFmpeg.

Key services

Service Description
browserManager Launches and pools headless Chrome instances (chrome-headless-shell)
frameCapture Manages capture sessions — seek, screenshot, buffer lifecycle
screenshotService BeginFrame-based capture with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)
chunkEncoder FFmpeg encoding with chunked concat, GPU detection, faststart
streamingEncoder Pipe frames to FFmpeg in real time (no intermediate PNGs on disk)
audioMixer Parse <audio> elements and mix audio tracks via FFmpeg
videoFrameExtractor Extract frames from <video> elements for compositing
parallelCoordinator Split frame ranges across worker processes
fileServer Serve local HTML files to the browser via Hono

Usage

import {
  acquireBrowser,
  releaseBrowser,
  createCaptureSession,
  initializeSession,
  captureFrame,
  closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";

// 1. Launch browser
const browser = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });

// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
  browser: browser.browser,
  url: "http://localhost:3000/my-composition.html",
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
});
await initializeSession(session);

// 3. Capture frames
for (let i = 0; i < totalFrames; i++) {
  await captureFrame(session, i, `/tmp/frames/frame-${i}.png`);
}

// 4. Clean up
await closeCaptureSession(session);
await releaseBrowser(browser);

Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
