Follows up on jrusso1020's review in #320. Exit code no longer gated on check health --------------------------------------- `doctor --json` previously set exitCode=1 when any check failed. Two problems: - `checkVersion` returns ok:false whenever a newer npm version is available, so any pipeline using `hyperframes doctor --json || fail` would start failing the next time a new CLI version was published. - Asymmetric with bare `doctor` which always exits 0. Exit code now strictly reflects whether the command executed, not whether the environment is healthy. Consumers who want to gate do: hyperframes doctor --json | jq -e '.ok' > /dev/null || handle_failure Documented that pattern in docs/packages/cli.mdx. Schema locked with a snapshot test ---------------------------------- Extracted `buildDoctorReport()` as a pure function and added `doctor.test.ts` covering: - top-level key set (any accidental rename/addition fails the test) - shape of each CheckOutcome entry - ok flag true/false semantics - check-order preservation - hint field: omitted when absent, preserved when present - redact option both on and off Any future refactor that silently breaks the documented JSON contract will now fail CI. $HOME redaction for JSON mode ----------------------------- JSON output is explicitly designed to be pasted into bug reports and agent contexts. Added `redactHome()` so the user's home directory is replaced with the literal `$HOME` in `detail`/`hint` when --json is set. Human mode is unchanged (shows real paths). Import grouping --------------- Moved `node:os` + `_examples` imports up with the rest so `export const examples` no longer sits between imports.
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
