Implements the fixes from the 2026-09-21 cutover dashboard read
(plans/sdk/2026-09-21-cutover-dashboard-fixes-plan.md):
- sdk_cutover_failed now carries `family` and `error_kind`
(network/conflict/http/sdk). The one production gate event was a raw
`TypeError: Failed to fetch` from an unwrapped fetch (readProjectFile /
writeProjectFile's preflight), which an instanceof-only classifier would
still file as "sdk" and trip the rollback gate — added a message-based
fallback for the browser's fetch-rejection strings.
- studio:sdk_session_unavailable's `network` reason now carries `elapsed_ms`
and `hidden` (document.visibilityState at rejection), separating a
near-instant policy block (CSP/PNA/extension) from a dropped connection
the tab or server going away mid-flight.
- The ownership-race branch in useSdkSession's open effect now emits
sdk_session_superseded instead of sdk_session_unavailable{stage:ownership}
— it's a benign race (identity moved on mid-open), not a broken
precondition, and was being counted as one on the dashboard.
- Root-caused and fixed the read-404 "storm": /api/events (CLI host) and
the vite-dev hot-reload channel are one connection per SERVER, not per
project. A stale tab left open after `hyperframes preview` restarts on a
different folder (same port) received every save the CURRENT project
made, reloading its preview (which then 404s) and re-reading its own
composition on each one. Both transports now carry `projectId`; the
client-side coordinator drops a delivery whose projectId doesn't match
the tab's (absent field still passes, for one release of skew).
- studio-server's file routes report `why` on 403/404: `project_dir_missing`
(new — the CLI host's static resolveProject kept answering for a project
whose folder was renamed/deleted under a running server, which used to
fail closed as an indistinguishable path-traversal 403) vs `nul` vs
`outside_project`.
- absent_or_empty reads now carry `path_in_tree` (against the caller's
loaded file tree). Instrumentation only, per the graveyard page
(clearing-activecomppath-on-tree-absence) that refuted the "clear
activeCompPath" fix this was the proposed next step for.
Tests: unit coverage added for every change (sdkCutover.test.ts,
useSdkSession.lifecycle.test.tsx, useExternalFileChangeCoordinator.test.tsx,
studioServer.test.ts, files.pathSafety.test.ts). oxlint/oxfmt clean,
tsc --noEmit clean on studio/studio-server/cli.

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: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
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
Set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 when starting a render with nohup or
disown so it keeps running after the invoking shell exits.
publish
Upload a project directory and get a hosted URL that keeps working after the CLI exits. Published projects are private by default:
npx hyperframes publish
npx hyperframes publish ./my-video
npx hyperframes publish --public
npx hyperframes publish --yes
Signed-out publishing returns an authentication-required claim URL; opening it
lets someone sign in and claim the project. Sign in first with
npx hyperframes auth login to publish an owned project you can update. Use
--public to make the claimed project visible to anyone. --yes only skips the
confirmation prompt and does not change visibility.
Signed-in publishers can use --update <url-or-id> to target an existing project
or --space <space-id> to publish into a shared team space. If the requested
project is missing or inaccessible, publishing can create a new project instead;
check the printed URL and status.
See the publish reference for all options, including video proxy settings.
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
