WaterrrForeverandClaude Opus 4.8 54cab331d0 feat(cli): shared TTS/BGM auth preflight + caption and skill-workflow fixes (#1697)
* fix: handle caption skin workflow

* docs(skills): simplify the finalize step across video workflows

- Drop --strict-layout; all skills use plain `hyperframes inspect`
- Add the caption text_box_overflow false-positive note to faceless-explainer
- On a failed check, the orchestrator makes the cheapest safe edit itself
  (no worker re-dispatch / Step 3 backtrack language)
- Snapshot: glance at the stitched contact-sheet.jpg and move on

* feat(auth): onboarding-first `auth status` + shared TTS/BGM preflight

When no HeyGen credential is configured, `hyperframes auth status` now
prints registration-first guidance instead of a terse error:

- Interactive / agent-driven sessions get sign-in guidance led by
  `hyperframes auth login` (the OAuth step that also creates an account
  and is shared with heygen-cli), and never steer users to a per-repo
  `.env`. CI / non-interactive runs get a terse note. Exit 1 is kept so
  the "am I logged in?" `$?` contract still holds.
- It probes which local engine voice/music will fall back to (Kokoro /
  MusicGen, mirroring the skill resolution order) and whether their
  Python deps are installed, with a pip hint when missing. `--json`
  exposes `recommended_action` + `offline_engines` for skills to branch.
- `doctor` gains matching "TTS (Kokoro)" / "BGM (MusicGen)" checks via
  the same shared probe (findPython/hasPythonModules extracted to
  tts/python.ts; provider resolution in audio/providers.ts).

Every TTS/BGM workflow now relays this at Step 0 (setup) instead of
improvising its own "missing key" prompt: pr-to-video, product-launch-
video, faceless-explainer, website-to-video, music-to-video. The
canonical behavior + key-priority table live once in hyperframes-media.

* feat(pr-to-video): scale recommended video length to PR change size

Step 0 led with a fixed ~60-90s length default. Now the recommended
length is derived from the PR's diff stat (lines added+deleted, nudged
by file count) on a tier scale (trivial ~20-40s → large ~110-180s, hard
cap ~3 min), reusing the same PR peek already done to infer the angle.
The agent states the basis when proposing it, and a huge PR with one
headline change still stays tight. User can always override.

* fix(captions): embed brand fonts whose files use separators

brandFontFaces() matched font files by stripping only whitespace, so an
underscore/hyphen-named file (TT_Norms_Pro_Bold.woff2) never matched the
family key "ttnormspro" — captions shipped with no @font-face, the
font_family_without_font_face bug. Now both family and filename normalize
away all non-alphanumerics; families match longest-key-first so a parent
family can't swallow a more specific one's files (TT Norms Pro vs Mono);
each file is claimed once; "demibold" ranks before "bold"; and when
nothing matches it warns loudly at build time instead of returning "".

Also: parseFonts() falls back to h1/h2/title/hero display roles, and the
frame-worker + caption authoring docs spell out that only shipped font
files render — no system CJK/Devanagari families on the headless renderer.

* fix(hyperframes-media): enforce sign-in preflight on standalone BGM/TTS

A one-off "generate me a BGM" request went straight to local MusicGen
without recommending sign-in: bgm.md/tts.md framed the no-credential path
as an automatic fallback, so the generation path bypassed the Preflight
stop, and the preflight used a bare `hyperframes auth status` that isn't
on PATH in a fresh `npx skills` project.

- Preflight now applies to one-off generation as well as workflows, uses
  `npx hyperframes auth status`, and says: if the CLI can't run, still
  recommend signing in and STOP — never treat "no credential" as a silent
  green light for local generation.
- bgm.md and tts.md point at the Preflight before generating, reframing
  local generation as the fallback the user opts into, not a default.

* docs(auth): add Authentication & API keys guide

Document signing in, the keys each capability (voice, music, capture)
uses, their resolution priority, and the fully local fallback. Add the
guide to the nav and cross-link it from the cloud deploy note and the
CLI env-var reference.

* fix(lint): strip HTML comments in a fixpoint loop (CodeQL)

Single-pass <!-- --> removal can re-form a complete comment from
adjacent markers (e.g. `<<!-- -->!-- ... -->`), letting a decoy
<template> survive and hijack the template-boundary match. Loop to a
fixpoint, mirroring the captions.mjs precedent; add a regression test
that fails on single-pass (2 root findings) and passes on the loop.

Also wrap the build-frame.mjs node:fs imports to satisfy oxfmt — the
new copyFileSync import pushed the line past the width limit, which
was the sole cause of the Format / Preflight CI failures.

* fix(lint): strip HTML comments with a linear scan (CodeQL ReDoS)

The fixpoint loop still ran a /<!--[\s\S]*?-->/ regex per pass, which
backtracks O(n^2) on inputs with many unterminated "<!--" — CodeQL
js/polynomial-redos (high). Looping the same regex (the prescribed
fix) never addressed this; only the regex itself does.

Replace it with an indexOf-based linear strip in utils.ts
(stripHtmlComments), kept in a fixpoint loop so markers that re-form
when a comment is removed are still stripped. 200k unterminated
"<!--" now strips in ~3ms instead of quadratic time; behavior is
otherwise unchanged — unterminated comments are kept verbatim, as the
old regex left them. The re-forming regression test still guards it.

* fix(auth): make TTS/BGM sign-in guidance accurate and runnable

From team review of the not-signed-in onboarding:

- OAuth is a `hyperframes auth login` feature only. The separate `heygen`
  CLI is API-key-only — `heygen auth login` stores a pasted key, it is not
  OAuth and does not create an account. Stop presenting the two CLIs as the
  same OAuth/sign-up step.
- Use `npx hyperframes` in every imperative and runtime hint. Bare
  `hyperframes` is not on PATH on a fresh machine (command not found); only
  `npx hyperframes` is guaranteed. Also updates the JSON recommended_action.
- Drop `heygen auth login` from the terminal/skill onboarding: it needs its
  own install and there is no `npx heygen`, so it was a command-not-found
  trap. The shared-credential fact stays in the reference docs.

Covers the `auth status` guidance + tests, the Authentication docs, the
shared hyperframes-media preflight (SKILL, requirements, tts, error hints),
and the `npx hyperframes auth status` preflight in every TTS/BGM workflow
(pr-to-video, product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, website-to-video,
music-to-video).

title: Authentication & API keys
description: "Sign in to HeyGen, and how the keys for voice, music, and capture resolve across the CLI and skills — including the priority order and the fully local fallback."
---
HyperFrames uses a HeyGen credential for premium voiceover (TTS) and the music / sound-effects library. Other providers are optional, and **everything runs without any key** — voice and music fall back to fully local engines. This page covers signing in, the keys each capability uses, and the order they resolve.
## Sign in
Signing in is the same OAuth step as creating an account — new users land on the sign-up screen.
<Steps>
<Step title="Sign in">
The default flow opens your browser for OAuth and captures the token on a loopback port:
```bash
npx hyperframes auth login
# ✓ Signed in.
```
For CI or headless machines, save a long-lived API key instead:
```bash
npx hyperframes auth login --api-key # hidden-input prompt
echo "$HEYGEN_API_KEY" | npx hyperframes auth login --api-key # from stdin
```
</Step>
<Step title="Confirm what's configured">
```bash
npx hyperframes auth status
```
Shows the active credential's source and verified identity, and — when you're signed out — which local engines voice and music will use. Add `--json` for `{ configured, recommended_action, offline_engines }` in scripts.
</Step>
</Steps>
The credential lives in `~/.heygen/credentials` (mode `0600`) — no per-repo `.env` to manage. Browser OAuth is a `hyperframes auth login` feature. The separate [`heygen` CLI](https://github.com/heygen-com/heygen-cli) (its own install — there's no `npx heygen`) is API-key-only, so `heygen auth login` just stores a key you paste. Both read the same `~/.heygen/credentials`, so signing in with one carries to the other.
<Tip>
No account needed to try HyperFrames. With no credential, voice uses **Kokoro** and music uses **MusicGen**, both fully local and offline — see [Working offline](#working-offline).
</Tip>
## How credentials resolve
The HeyGen credential drives TTS and music / SFX **retrieval**. It resolves first-match-wins:
1. `HEYGEN_API_KEY` — environment variable
2. `HYPERFRAMES_API_KEY` — alias, for parity with other tools
3. `~/.heygen/credentials` — written by `hyperframes auth login` (or `heygen auth login`)
Point at a different config directory with `HEYGEN_CONFIG_DIR`, or a different backend with `HEYGEN_API_URL`.
## Keys by capability
Each capability picks the **first available provider** in order; the last is always a local engine that needs no key. Cloud providers below the HeyGen line need their own key *and* a local Python dependency.
| Capability | Provider order | Key(s) — first match wins | Local dependency |
|------------|----------------|---------------------------|------------------|
| **Voice (TTS)** | HeyGen → ElevenLabs → Kokoro | `HEYGEN_API_KEY` → `HYPERFRAMES_API_KEY` → `~/.heygen` · then `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | Kokoro: `pip install kokoro-onnx soundfile` |
| **Music (BGM)** | HeyGen library → Lyria → MusicGen | HeyGen credential (above) · then `GEMINI_API_KEY` → `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | MusicGen: `pip install transformers torch soundfile numpy` |
| **Sound effects** | HeyGen library → bundled library | HeyGen credential (above) | bundled — no deps |
| **Capture descriptions** | OpenRouter → Gemini | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → `GEMINI_API_KEY` | — (optional; for [website-to-video](/guides/website-to-video)) |
Run `npx hyperframes doctor` to check which local dependencies are installed. The media skills also run `hyperframes auth status` as a preflight before generating, so you always know whether a run will use HeyGen or a local engine before it starts.
## Working offline
No key configured is a normal state, not an error. The workflow runs entirely on local models:
- **Voice** — Kokoro-82M (54 voices), with Whisper for word-level caption alignment.
- **Music** — MusicGen (`facebook/musicgen-small`).
- **Sound effects** — a bundled library.
Local engines are free and offline; HeyGen gives higher-quality voices and a professionally produced music library. Sign in any time to switch a project from local to HeyGen.
## Environment variables
| Variable | Used for |
|----------|----------|
| `HEYGEN_API_KEY` | HeyGen credential — voice + music/SFX retrieval. Highest priority. |
| `HYPERFRAMES_API_KEY` | Alias for `HEYGEN_API_KEY`. |
| `HEYGEN_API_URL` | API base URL (default `https://api.heygen.com`). |
| `HEYGEN_CONFIG_DIR` | Credentials directory (default `~/.heygen`). |
| `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | ElevenLabs TTS, used when no HeyGen credential is present. |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` / `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | Lyria music generation (and capture descriptions). |
| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Capture descriptions; takes priority over Gemini for that step. |
See the [`hyperframes auth`](/packages/cli#hyperframes-auth) command reference for subcommand details, and [Cloud rendering](/deploy/cloud) for using the same credential to render in HeyGen's cloud.
