Miguel Ángel 718c67b387 fix: escape NUL bytes in HFMASK regex (Bun blank renders) + Windows junction for studio preview links (#2140)
* fix(core): escape NUL delimiters in HFMASK mask token and restore regex

Raw 0x00 bytes in the maskInertRegions token and restore regex made
timingCompiler.ts binary to git and shipped raw NULs into dist/cli.js.
Bun's transpiler (<= 1.3.11) corrupts raw NULs in regex literals into
literal backslash-uFFFD text, so restore never matched: every masked
<style>/<script> region was dropped, the player never initialized, and
bunx renders produced blank white frames showing HFMASK tokens.

Use \u0000 escapes instead, which survive any transpile layer, and add
a byte-level regression test (behavior is identical under Node, so only
a byte check catches this).

Fixes the first half of #2139.

* fix(cli): use NTFS junctions for studio project links on Windows

linkProjectIntoStudioData called symlinkSync(dir, path, "dir"), which
needs Developer Mode or elevation on Windows, so preview and dev in
local-studio mode died with EPERM for default-configured users.
Junctions need no privilege, work for directories, and keep the live
write-back the studio depends on (a copy fallback would decouple the
studio from the real project). Covers both preview and dev, which share
the helper.

Fixes the second half of #2139.

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. Run from the project directory; the positional argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:

npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./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

docs

Open the documentation in your browser:

npx hyperframes docs

upgrade

Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:

npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json  # machine-readable for agents
