Three bugs found via automated e2e testing of the v0.6.0-alpha preview: 1. core: add missing package.json export specifiers for studio-api/manual-edits-render-script and studio-api/studio-motion-render-script — the alpha.3 npm publish failed because the studio build could not resolve these sub-paths. 2. cli: fix init --example creating empty projects — tsup leaves empty template directories in dist/ during the build, causing existsSync(templateDir) to return true and skip the remote fetch fallback. Now checks for index.html inside the dir instead. 3. engine: fix unhandled EPIPE crash in streaming encoder — ffmpeg stdin/stdout had no error handlers, so a write after the ffmpeg process exits throws an uncaught error that crashes the process. Verified with 8 consecutive e2e iterations (424 test runs, 0 flaky). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
