Default-on drawElement ships with a runtime self-verification net (#1998); this makes its in-the-wild behavior observable. Every render_complete event now answers: which capture mode actually ran, why drawElement disengaged when it did (compile gate / producer clamp / engine init gate), whether the self-verify net fired and why, and how much margin verification had. Follows the static-dedup telemetry pattern: engine session fields → CapturePerfSummary → RenderPerfSummary.drawElement → snake_case props on render_complete. New event props: de_capture_mode, de_compile_gate, de_clamp_reason, de_gate_reason, de_worker_encode, de_verify_armed, de_verify_checked, de_verify_min_db (margin above the 32dB threshold — drift here is the early-warning signal before fallbacks spike), de_verify_init_ms, de_self_verify_fallback, de_fallback_reason, de_blank_suspects, de_blank_deterministic_accepts, de_blank_recaptures, de_boundary_frames, de_ncpr_fallbacks. Validated end-to-end on live renders: drawelement path reports mode/verify counters/minDb/init cost; a blur-gated comp reports mode=screenshot + gate_reason=css_effect:filter; a forced verification failure reports self_verify_fallback=true + fallback_reason=psnr.

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
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
