Replaces the single `canaries: "a,b"` telemetry property with PostHog's own
flag shape, one property per registered canary:
$feature/canary-de-parallel-router: "true" | "false"
PostHog treats `$feature/<key>` as a first-class flag property, so breakdowns,
funnels split by cohort and the experiment surfaces work on a canary with
nothing configured server-side. The decision still happens locally: the render
path forbids render-time network calls, behaviour must not depend on analytics
being reachable, and neither the CLI nor Studio ships posthog-js (both
hand-roll a batch POST, so there is no SDK to evaluate a real flag with).
Decide locally, analyse natively.
Two decisions worth recording:
- BOTH ARMS ARE EMITTED. A non-enrolled install reports "false" rather than
omitting the property. Absent means "this build predates the canary", which
is a different fact from "this install is control" — collapsing them makes a
ramp unreadable, because you cannot separate a control group from an old
version.
- KEYS ARE NAMESPACED with a `canary-` infix. A real PostHog flag namespace
already exists in this project, owned by the web app (`enable-chat-tab`, set
by posthog-js from `$lib=web` events). Namespacing guarantees a canary key
can never alias a real flag key and have the two fight over one property.
Values are the strings "true"/"false" to match how PostHog records boolean
flag values, so the property is directly comparable to a real flag.
98 core / 1437, 166 cli / 2194, 269 studio / 2982 green; tsc clean across all
three packages.

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. 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
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
