Vance Ingalls 578d6202b4 fix(studio): resync the shared SDK session after a Design-panel variable promote
Reported as "template variables are broken": binding an element's field to a
variable via the flat inspector's "◇ var" promote chip (or editing an
already-bound field's value) wrote the correct bytes to disk, but the
Variables tab kept showing the pre-edit value until the whole Studio page
was hard-reloaded.

Root cause: DesignPanelPromoteProvider deliberately opens its OWN SDK
session (`useSdkSession(projectId, selection.sourceFile ?? activeCompPath)`)
so that promoting inside a sub-composition binds the variable in the
sub-comp's own file, not the host's. For the common case — a top-level
element, same file as `activeCompPath` — this session is a SEPARATE
in-memory `Composition` instance from the shared one `VariablesPanel`
(Variables tab, Slideshow, etc.) reads. A persist through the promote
provider's session never fires the shared session's own "change" event.

Worse, the shared session's file-change listener runs
`isSelfWriteEcho(path, content)` to decide whether to reload — but
`sdkSelfWriteRegistry` is keyed by file path only, not by session instance
(its own doc comment assumes "the studio process has a single SDK session
lifecycle at a time"). It sees the promote provider's write registered
under the same path and concludes it's its own echo, permanently
suppressing the reload it actually needs.

Threaded `forceReloadSdkSession` (the same mechanism every other
server-side-write path in Studio already uses for exactly this "resync
after a write I didn't make myself" case) from App.tsx through
StudioRightPanel into DesignPanelPromoteProvider, and call it after every
successful promote/setDefault persist — unconditionally, not gated on the
promote target matching activeCompPath, since re-opening a file that
didn't change is a harmless no-op re-parse and a path-equality guard here
already produced one subtly wrong comparison (activeCompPath can be null
while the shared session still defaults to "index.html") before landing on
this simpler version. Verified live: editing a variable-bound field's
value now updates the Variables tab immediately, no reload required.

App.tsx crossed the 600-line file-size gate after threading the new prop;
extracted the tiny handleAddAssetAtPlayhead wrapper into its own
useAddAssetAtPlayhead hook (with a regression test) to bring it back under.

Full studio suite (2639 tests) green against a fresh main; typecheck/
oxlint/oxfmt clean.

@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
