Classify each <audio> element before Web Audio capture: same-origin, CORS-opted-in, or a non-http(s) scheme stays on the primary createMediaElementSource() path; cross-origin media without a crossorigin opt-in withholds that call (the Web Audio spec makes such a node output silence without throwing) and falls back to fetch + decodeAudioData, preserving the FX graph whenever the server allows CORS. Recheck the route at the transport's irreversible capture boundary, and account for currentSrc, src, and <source> candidates the same way the HTML resource-selection algorithm does. Emit a stable preview diagnostic (`runtime_web_audio_bypass`) at media discovery time, not only from playback scheduling, so `hyperframes check` — which seeks but never plays — can surface it as a `web_audio_bypass` finding. Diagnostics are suppressed during export rendering, where the producer mixes audio offline and already applies the FX chain. The existing non-unit-rate fail-closed rule stays scoped to fx-chain/automation so this fix does not newly mute grouped or above-unity tracks. Takes over #3459 with the data-native-audio escape hatch removed per review feedback: the automatic cross-origin detection already covers the cases that mattered, so the extra per-element opt-in attribute, its route-classifier branch, and its diagnostic path are dropped in favor of a single automatic behavior.

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: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
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
