* fix(cli): lazy-load @puppeteer/browsers to prevent debug package crash
Convert the static `import { ... } from "@puppeteer/browsers"` in
browser/manager.ts to dynamic imports inside the async functions that
use them. This eliminates a module-load-time crash when the transitive
`debug` dependency is missing or corrupted.
Previously, every CLI command (including init, lint, docs, help) would
crash with "Cannot find package debug" if the debug package was absent —
even though only browser-related commands need @puppeteer/browsers.
Also add `debug` as a direct dependency so npm/bun always installs it
explicitly rather than relying on transitive resolution.
PostHog data: ~3,955 total-CLI-crash occurrences since May 29.
* fix(cli): simplify isLinuxArm to sync inline check and surface real load error
isLinuxArm() was async only to call detectBrowserPlatform() from
@puppeteer/browsers, but that function just checks process.platform +
process.arch under the hood. Replace with a direct inline check and make
the function sync — no behavioral change, removes an unnecessary async
boundary and an eager load of the package we're trying to lazy-load.
Also surface the real error from loadPuppeteerBrowsers() catch block instead
of hard-coding 'likely missing transitive dependency "debug"' — the actual
cause could be anything (missing package, corrupt install, wrong Node ABI).
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:
npx hyperframes render ./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
