* feat(cli): classify identity persistence on every telemetry event Install-grain metrics currently trust every anonymousId equally, but ephemeral/isolated-HOME workloads mint a fresh id per run — one machine produced 2,956 rotating render identities since Jul 30 (94.4% seen on a single render command), inflating acquisition and diluting per-install penetration while looking like real product usage. Every event now carries: - identity_persistence: durable (id loaded from a preexisting config — proven to survive a process boundary) | unknown (minted+persisted this run; an ephemeral HOME is indistinguishable from a genuine first run from inside one process) | process_only (persist failed). Sticky per process so a fresh install re-reading its own write cannot self-promote. - config_write_outcome: ok | ok_unmirrored | failed for the identity- establishing write; absent when the id came from disk. - invocation_id: random uuid per CLI process, so one invocation's events group even when the install identity is untrustworthy (unlike run_id, which needs an orchestrator to set HYPERFRAMES_RUN_ID). Install metrics can then count only durable identities, and a daily churn monitor can alert on the unknown share. * fix(cli): require the anonymousId to come off disk before classifying durable Review finding: materializeConfig mints a replacement anonymousId when a hand-edited/image-baked config lacks one. That replacement only reaches disk when the bucket-seed backfill happens to write; with a seed present the read path performs no write at all, so the install re-mints a fresh id every run while the unconditional durable branch stamped each of them with the one label durable-only counting is allowed to trust. durable now requires parseNonEmptyString(parsed.anonymousId): a minted replacement classifies like a fresh mint — by the backfill write outcome when that path runs (unknown/process_only), and process_only on the no-write path where the id provably dies with the process. Two tests pin both shapes.
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. 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
