Dylan woo 3079e8c950 fix: address review feedback on doctor --json
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

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:
