Both flags were silently broken via the same root cause: citty parses
`--no-FOO` as a negation of the base flag `FOO`, so a flag literally
named "no-confirm" gets routed as `args.confirm=false` (not
`args["no-confirm"]=true`), and same for "no-wait".
Surfaced during the end-to-end smoke test on the just-merged stack:
- `cloud delete <id> --no-confirm` was hitting "Confirmation required"
and exiting 1 without calling the API.
- `cloud render --no-wait` was running the full poll + download flow
instead of submitting and exiting with the render_id.
Renamed the arg keys to `confirm` (default true) and `wait` (default
true) so citty's built-in negation handles the user-facing flags
correctly. Flag names stay the same; only the runtime arg keys change.
Live-tested both: delete now removes the render and a subsequent get
404s; --no-wait now returns just {render_id, status: "queued"} and
exits.
Note: a third instance of the same pattern exists in commands/add.ts
(`--no-clipboard`) and is also latently broken. Out of scope for this
fix; should be addressed alongside any audit of the CLI's interactive-
vs-noninteractive defaults.
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.
