Via 97e094621f feat(engine): software-GPU parity diff helper for solid-black capture-shape bugs
Field signals ts=1784049136 (hardware-GPU intermittent black rectangles →
resolved with --no-browser-gpu --low-memory-mode --workers 1) and
ts=1784032286 (clip-path animated image → intermittent black rectangles →
resolved with deterministic precompose). Pattern: hardware-GPU writes
solid-black on some composition shapes; software-GPU / screenshot bypass
restores correctness. Raw per-pixel diff alone false-positives on every
compositor jitter frame; the diagnostic-grade signal is asymmetric
black-only-in-A pixels (solid-black where B has content).

Adds `packages/engine/src/utils/gpuParityDiff.ts`: pure helpers
(`diffGpuParityFrames`, `diffGpuParityPngs`, `verifyGpuParity`) that
compare two RGBA frames captured via different GPU paths, count per-pixel
diffs above a tolerance, and isolate black-only-in-A / black-only-in-B
pixel counts + bounding boxes. Symmetric black regions (real black content
present in both captures) are NOT flagged. PNG wrapper preserves the
underlying decode error as Error.cause on either side. All exposed via
`@hyperframes/engine`'s package index for downstream wiring.

19 unit tests cover identity, per-pixel tolerance, the field-bug shape,
the shared-black no-op case, bounding-box tightness across multiple
regions, the inverse pattern, dimension mismatch, data-length mismatch,
overlapping threshold rejection, custom tolerance, verdict output, PNG
end-to-end, and cause-preservation on both A and B decode failures.

Reduced-scope first pass. Wiring a `hyperframes verify-gpu-parity` CLI
command, dual-mode capture orchestration, and integration coverage against
a known-bad composition is intentionally deferred to a follow-up so the
diagnostic primitive can land and be exercised in isolation. The exported
surface is stable — a follow-up need only add the capture-and-diff driver.

Stack: PR #7 of 9 (base via/parallel-capture-observability).

@hyperframes/engine

Seekable web-page-to-video rendering engine built on Puppeteer and FFmpeg.

Framework-agnostic: works with GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, CSS animations, or any web content that implements the window.__hf seek protocol.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/engine

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded by Puppeteer), FFmpeg

What it does

The engine opens your HTML composition in a headless Chrome instance, seeks frame-by-frame using Chrome's HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame API, captures screenshots, and encodes them into video with FFmpeg.

Key services

Service Description
browserManager Launches and pools headless Chrome instances (chrome-headless-shell)
frameCapture Manages capture sessions — seek, screenshot, buffer lifecycle
screenshotService BeginFrame-based capture with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)
chunkEncoder FFmpeg encoding with chunked concat, GPU detection, faststart
streamingEncoder Pipe frames to FFmpeg in real time (no intermediate PNGs on disk)
audioMixer Parse <audio> elements and mix audio tracks via FFmpeg
videoFrameExtractor Extract frames from <video> elements for compositing
parallelCoordinator Split frame ranges across worker processes
fileServer Serve local HTML files to the browser via Hono

Usage

import {
  acquireBrowser,
  releaseBrowser,
  createCaptureSession,
  initializeSession,
  captureFrame,
  closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";

// 1. Launch browser
const browser = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });

// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
  browser: browser.browser,
  url: "http://localhost:3000/my-composition.html",
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
});
await initializeSession(session);

// 3. Capture frames
for (let i = 0; i < totalFrames; i++) {
  await captureFrame(session, i, `/tmp/frames/frame-${i}.png`);
}

// 4. Clean up
await closeCaptureSession(session);
await releaseBrowser(browser);

Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
