Miguel Ángel 47b801fbf2 feat: add Studio NLE playback controls (#530)
## Problem

HyperFrames Studio made frame-accurate playback review slower than expected for editor-style workflows. Issue #527 called out missing loop playback, frame display/jump controls, preview-focused Space handling, frame stepping, and NLE-style J/K/L shuttle controls.

## What this fixes

- Adds a persistent Studio loop toggle and makes the playback loop restart when enabled.
- Adds a time/frame display toggle plus a jump-to-frame input in the player controls.
- Adds frame math helpers and frame-step behavior at the Studio preview frame rate.
- Expands keyboard handling so preview-focused Space toggles playback, ArrowLeft/ArrowRight step frames, Shift+Arrow steps 10 frames, and J/K/L shuttle controls work from the preview/timeline surface while ignoring form/button/slider targets.
- Adds J/K/L shuttle behavior: J plays backward, K pauses, L plays forward, repeated J/L ramps 1x -> 2x -> 4x, and K-held J/L frame-steps.
- Makes the preview wrapper focusable so keyboard playback shortcuts work after focusing the preview area.

## Root cause

The Studio playback layer only exposed mouse scrubbing, basic play/pause, a seconds-based readout, and slider-local arrow-key nudges. The global Space shortcut was also gated to `document.body`, so it stopped working once the actual preview/editor surface had focus. Studio needed a single playback-control layer above the runtime adapter that could translate editor keyboard intent into deterministic seek/play/pause operations.

## Verification

### Local checks

- `bun install`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/core build:hyperframes-runtime`
- `bunx oxfmt --check packages/studio/src/player/lib/time.ts packages/studio/src/player/lib/time.test.ts packages/studio/src/player/store/playerStore.ts packages/studio/src/player/store/playerStore.test.ts packages/studio/src/player/hooks/useTimelinePlayer.ts packages/studio/src/player/components/PlayerControls.tsx packages/studio/src/player/components/PlayerControls.test.ts packages/studio/src/components/nle/NLEPreview.tsx`
- `bunx oxlint packages/studio/src/player/lib/time.ts packages/studio/src/player/lib/time.test.ts packages/studio/src/player/store/playerStore.ts packages/studio/src/player/store/playerStore.test.ts packages/studio/src/player/hooks/useTimelinePlayer.ts packages/studio/src/player/components/PlayerControls.tsx packages/studio/src/player/components/PlayerControls.test.ts packages/studio/src/components/nle/NLEPreview.tsx`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/studio test -- src/player/lib/time.test.ts src/player/store/playerStore.test.ts src/player/components/PlayerControls.test.ts src/player/hooks/useTimelinePlayer.test.ts` -> 4 files passed, 52 tests passed
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/studio typecheck`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/studio build`
- `git diff --check`
- Lefthook during commit -> lint, format, typecheck, commitlint pass

### Browser verification

- Created a temp project at `/tmp/hf-studio-nle-controls` with an animated 10s GSAP timeline.
- Started local Studio preview via `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli dev -- preview /tmp/hf-studio-nle-controls` at `http://localhost:5194`.
- Used `agent-browser` to verify:
  - loop toggle changes to active state
  - frame display shows `current / total` frames
  - jump-to-frame input moves the seek position to frame 45 / frame 150
  - focused preview accepts Space play/pause
  - ArrowRight advances one frame from preview focus
  - J plays backward from frame 150 to a lower frame, then K stops
  - agent-browser-driven recording of the tested flow completed

## Notes

- Local proof artifacts are intentionally not committed:
  - `qa-artifacts/studio-nle-controls/frame-controls.png`
  - `qa-artifacts/studio-nle-controls/playback-controls.webm`
- Closes #527.

@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
