Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 784aa64ace fix(studio,core): groups open by default, headers fit, and two contracts stop being promises
The four items left after the browser pass, plus the two architectural
findings from the review that were held for a decision.

Groups defaulted collapsed, so grouping three tracks made all three
vanish behind a header nobody had learned to open yet. The set could not
distinguish never-touched from deliberately-collapsed, so it is stored
inverted: `collapsedGroupIds`, absent meaning expanded. Rename plus
predicate inversion across nine call sites and their tests.

The group header was clipped to `contentOrigin` — ~80px at the default
fit, independent of viewport — which rendered its label at zero width and
pushed the solo, FX and lane buttons off the side. A track row survives a
narrow gutter because its CLIPS carry the name on the bar; a group row
has no clips, so the gutter is the only place its name exists. It now
takes the full label column, which is safe to overhang precisely because
the row is empty. Measured 80 -> 232, label 0 -> 45px.

Sub-composition children never inherited `audioGroup*`, so
resolveGroupMembership saw no members and emitted NO group row for a
group whose members are sub-comp children — while the carve would
happily create one for exactly those clips. Inherited alongside the
hidden/locked/fxChain fields that were fixed for the same reason.

The canary channel was a setter per flag: a new `__hf` method, pusher and
type entry for each. Replaced with one `__hf.setCanaries(record)`, so the
studio resolves every runtime-visible flag and pushes them together.
Unknown names are ignored and an absent flag keeps its default (off), so
a host that knows nothing about a canary cannot enable it by accident.

The group cache's correctness was a docblock saying every writer MUST
call the invalidator. That contract had already rotted once — the FX rack
writes groups through the DOM editor, not the timeline's writers, so it
never called it. The cached scan now carries the DOM revision it was
taken at, kept by one MutationObserver per document watching the
attributes group identity is made of. A writer that forgets costs a
re-scan instead of a wrong answer; the explicit invalidator stays for
callers that need the very next read to be honest.

Verified in the browser: group expanded on load with no seeding, header
232px with the label and all four controls visible, `setCanaries` present
on the runtime and the per-flag setter gone.

@hyperframes/core

Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/core

Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.

What's inside

Module Description
Types TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults
Parsers parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations
Generators generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec
Compiler compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times
Linter lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.)
Runtime IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol
Frame Adapters Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom)

Frame Adapters

A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:

import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
  getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
  compositionId: "my-video",
});

Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:

import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
  id: "my-adapter",
  getDurationFrames: () => 300,
  seekFrame: (frame) => {
    /* seek your animation */
  },
};

Parsing and generating HTML

import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";

const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);

Linting

import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";

const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
