`present` and `play` render compositions in the standalone browser player, resolving the player/slideshow IIFE bundles via resolvePlayerPath / resolveSlideshowPath. Those resolvers look for the bundles alongside the built CLI (dist/hyperframes-player.global.js, dist/hyperframes-slideshow.global.js), but build-copy.mjs never staged them into dist/. The remaining candidate paths are monorepo-dev only, so an npm install has nothing to resolve. Result: `npx hyperframes present` always failed with "@hyperframes/player not found", forcing users to run the presenter from a monorepo checkout. Copy both player globals from packages/player/dist into the CLI dist during build:copy (existsSync-guarded + warn, matching the surrounding pattern). The runtime bundle is already handled by build:runtime. Verified: the globals now appear in `npm pack`, and `node dist/cli.js present` starts without the player-not-found error.

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.
