Vance Ingalls edfa7a7402 refactor(core): give the FX node codec named field readers
parseAudioFxChain and serializeAudioFxChain each carried an anonymous map
callback that was, by measurement, the most complex code in the file: 18
cyclomatic / 17 cognitive and 10/9. Almost all of it was nine
`...(cond ? { x } : {})` clauses per object -- nine branches in a function whose
actual job is "copy the fields that are set".

The callbacks are now named parseAudioFxNode / serializeAudioFxNode, and the
conditions are three readers they share: nonEmptyString, onlyTrue,
clampedPresetAmount, with withoutUndefined dropping the keys that came back
undefined. Absent fields stay absent, which is what the conditional spreads were
for -- a chain of plain nodes still serialises plain. 3/1 and 4/1 now.

Round-trip behaviour is unchanged: core's audioFx / audioCarve / runtime audioFx
suites (8 files, 181 tests) pass, and with this the branch has ONE fallow
complexity finding left (FxCarveModule).

@hyperframes/core

Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/core

Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.

What's inside

Module Description
Types TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults
Parsers parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations
Generators generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec
Compiler compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times
Linter lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.)
Runtime IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol
Frame Adapters Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom)

Frame Adapters

A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:

import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
  getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
  compositionId: "my-video",
});

Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:

import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
  id: "my-adapter",
  getDurationFrames: () => 300,
  seekFrame: (frame) => {
    /* seek your animation */
  },
};

Parsing and generating HTML

import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";

const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);

Linting

import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";

const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
