Theodor Kleynhans 4e28658173 feat(cli): expose png-sequence format
The producer already supports `format: "png-sequence"` end-to-end (see
RenderConfig in renderOrchestrator.ts), but the CLI's VALID_FORMAT
validator rejects it before the flag reaches the producer. Surface it
the same way `mov` and `webm` are surfaced.

Behaviour:
- `--format png-sequence` accepted alongside mp4/webm/mov.
- Auto-output path uses no extension (FORMAT_EXT["png-sequence"] = "")
  since the producer treats outputPath as a directory of frame_NNNNNN.png.
- `printRenderComplete` sums the contained file sizes when outputPath
  is a directory, instead of reporting the platform-dependent inode
  size.
- DockerRenderOptions.format type extended; existing buildDockerRunArgs
  is unchanged because it forwards the string verbatim.

Tests:
- renderLocal forwards `format: "png-sequence"` to createRenderJob.
- buildDockerRunArgs propagates `--format png-sequence` to the
  container.

Docs:
- Rendering guide: format flag table, format comparison table, new
  "PNG sequence (no encoding)" section, "How it works" extended.
- CLI package docs: format flag table updated.

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:

npx hyperframes render ./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
