Miguel Ángel 45999226a3 fix(studio): server-side DOM patching, render CSS scoping, and resilience
Root-cause fix for edits being wiped after refresh: the studio's
inspector edits were patched client-side via regex matching in
sourcePatcher.ts, which silently failed for many compositions ("Unable
to patch" toast). Replaced with a server-side patch-element API endpoint
using linkedom for proper DOM parsing via querySelector.

Also fixes the WYSIWYG render bug where sub-composition CSS was not
applied. The CSS scoping generated descendant selectors when both
attributes coexist on the same host element. Fixed to use compound
selectors for the authored root.

Edit persistence:
- New POST /file-mutations/patch-element endpoint using linkedom
- persistDomEditOperations calls server instead of client regex
- 15 tests covering all patch operation types

Render CSS scoping:
- Compound selector for authored root on host element
- Regression test: wysiwyg-subcomp-css (baseline pending Docker)
- 3 unit tests + 1 integration test

GSAP CDN fallback:
- Preview: error-handler catches gsap 404 and loads from CDN
- Producer: rewrites missing local gsap paths to CDN before compile

Studio resilience:
- Error boundary with recoverable UI
- Lazy mediabunny import prevents crash cascade
- Hash routing listens for hashchange events
- Sub-composition duration reads data-hf-authored-duration fallback
- Save debounce 600ms to requestAnimationFrame

Observability:
- PostHog telemetry for crashes, save failures, tab switches, playback,
  toolbar actions, navigation, and render starts

@hyperframes/studio

Browser-based composition editor UI for Hyperframes. Provides a visual timeline, code editor, and live preview for building video compositions.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/studio

What it does

The studio is a React application with:

  • Visual timeline — drag, resize, and arrange elements on tracks
  • Code editor — edit HTML and GSAP scripts with CodeMirror (syntax highlighting, autocomplete)
  • Live preview — see changes in real time as you edit
  • Composition inspector — view and modify element properties

Development

The studio is embedded in the hyperframes preview command. To develop the studio UI itself:

cd packages/studio
bun run dev        # Start Vite dev server
bun run build      # Build for production
bun run typecheck  # Type-check

Tech stack

  • React 18/19, Zustand (state management)
  • CodeMirror 6 (editor)
  • Tailwind CSS (styling)
  • Vite (bundler)
  • Phosphor Icons
