WaterrrForever d287e5244c fix(cli): persist authoring skill in hyperframes.json for durable render attribution (#2762)
* fix(cli): persist authoring skill in hyperframes.json for durable render attribution

authoring_skill was stamped only on the first render through a workflow
passing --skill, so re-renders, `npm run render`, --batch, existing-project
renders, and general-video lost it — leaving 77-96% of real-human render
volume un-attributed and the skills-penetration metric misleadingly low.

Persist the owning skill in hyperframes.json: `init --skill` stamps it at
creation, `render` resolves the flag then falls back to the stored value, and
an explicit --skill seeds it (seed-once, never overwriting the creating
workflow's identity). Activate all render-producing creation workflows to
declare their skill at init.

Forward-only: does not rewrite historical telemetry.

* fix(cli): patch hyperframes.json in place when seeding the authoring skill

seedProjectAuthoringSkill is the only writer that touches an already existing
hyperframes.json — every other writeProjectConfig call site is guarded to write
only when the file is absent, which made the whole-file overwrite safe by
construction. Round-tripping the seed through normalizeConfig broke that: it
rebuilds the object from a field whitelist with no rest-spread, so any key
outside the schema was silently dropped, a media block was materialized in
projects that never had one, and key order was rewritten. hyperframes.json is
normally committed, so a render introduced a diff the user never asked for, and
any field added to the schema later would be deleted by a render on an older
CLI.

Parse the raw JSON, set authoringSkill, write it back, reusing the file's own
indentation. Unknown keys and formatting survive; the only delta is the key
being added. A corrupt config is now left untouched instead of clobbered.

Seed-once semantics are unchanged, still normalized so a hand-edited garbage
slug neither reaches telemetry nor wedges the seed.

Reported independently by both reviewers on #2762.

* fix(cli): create the docker build context with mkdtempSync

The `--docker` build context was created at a guessable path derived from
`Date.now()` in the world-writable OS temp dir. Another local user can
pre-create or symlink that path and have the build read a Dockerfile they
control. mkdtempSync gets a random suffix and 0o700 from the kernel, and it
creates the directory itself, so the separate mkdirSync goes away.

Pre-existing on main (alert #432, 2026-06-04, packages/cli/src/commands/render.ts),
surfaced against this branch only because the seed commit shifted line numbers in
the same file. Fixed here to unblock the CodeQL gate on #2762 rather than left for
a follow-up; the remaining 10 js/insecure-temporary-file alerts elsewhere in the
repo are untouched and still want their own pass.

* fix(cli): drop the check-then-use race when seeding the authoring skill

The seed tested for the config with existsSync and then wrote, which is a
check-then-use race: the file can be created or swapped between the check and
the write (CodeQL js/file-system-race).

Read once and branch on the failure reason instead. Only ENOENT creates a
config from scratch; any other read failure (permissions, I/O) now leaves an
existing file alone rather than overwriting it with a default, so this is also
strictly safer than the version it replaces.

Also replaces the `as Record<string, unknown>` assertion with an isJsonObject
type guard, per the repo's no-assertion convention.

Behaviour unchanged: all 4 seed regression tests still pass, and the
create/preserve/seed-once/corrupt-untouched paths were re-verified end to end.

Use the HyperFrames CLI development loop: init, add, catalog, capture, lint, check, snapshot,
compare, grade-compare, preview, play, present, beats, keyframes, single or batch render, publish,
cloud, cloudrun, feedback, lambda, doctor, browser, info, upgrade, skills, compositions, docs,
benchmark, telemetry, transcribe, auth, tts, and remove-background. Also use when diagnosing build
or render failures. validate, inspect, and layout are deprecated aliases; use check. Covers local,
HeyGen-hosted cloud, AWS Lambda, and Google Cloud Run rendering.

# HyperFrames CLI
Run commands as `npx hyperframes ...` unless project instructions provide a wrapper. Obey the wrapper when present. The CLI requires Node.js 22 or newer and FFmpeg.
## Development loop
1. **Scaffold:** `npx hyperframes init <project>` or capture a site. In non-TTY mode, pass `--non-interactive --example=<name>`.
2. **Author:** write the composition using `/hyperframes-core`.
3. **Get fast feedback while editing:** run `npx hyperframes lint` after the first HTML pass and after structural changes.
4. **Run the final gate:** run `npx hyperframes check`; it reruns lint before opening the browser. Do not prepend a redundant standalone lint invocation. Add `--snapshots` for annotated overview frames and finding crops.
5. **Inspect sub-compositions:** when `index.html` mounts `data-composition-src`, capture midpoint snapshots and inspect each mounted scene.
6. **Open the final Studio preview:** run `npx hyperframes preview`, hand the timeline project URL to the user, and ask whether to revise or render.
7. **Render only after approval:** use draft quality for iteration and high quality for delivery.
8. **Verify the output:** confirm the file exists, is non-empty, and has a plausible duration.
```bash
# Fast iteration check; repeat while authoring as needed.
npx hyperframes lint
# Required final gate; includes lint.
npx hyperframes check
npx hyperframes preview
npx hyperframes render --quality high --output out.mp4
test -s out.mp4
ffprobe -v error -show_format out.mp4
```
`check` runs lint first, then uses one browser session and one seek pass to audit runtime errors, failed requests, layout, `*.motion.json` assertions, and WCAG contrast. Persistent findings gate the exit code; transient entrance or exit findings are informational. Use `--strict` to gate warnings. `validate`, `inspect`, and `layout` remain aliases for compatibility but must not appear in new instructions or scripts.
## Two different preview surfaces
Do not confuse these states:
| Surface | When it may open | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Storyboard board | Before composition checks, only when `storyboard: yes` | Review plan cards and wireframe sketches. Open `?view=storyboard#project/<name>`. |
| Final composition preview | After `check` passes | Review the assembled timeline before render. Open `#project/<name>`. |
The early board is not approval of the final video. Rendering always requires the final approval defined by `hyperframes-core/references/review-loop.md`.
## Sub-composition smoke test
Static audits cannot catch every mount failure. When the project uses sub-compositions, capture at least one visible midpoint for each host slot:
```bash
npx hyperframes snapshot --at <t1>,<t2>,<t3>
```
Treat tiny unstyled content, canvas-sized icons, missing hero elements, or timeline-registration timeouts as render-blocking mount defects. See `hyperframes-core/references/sub-compositions.md` for the corresponding fixes.
## Agent conventions
- Prefer `--json` for agent and CI calls. Server-mode `render`, `preview`, and `play` do not provide ordinary JSON output; `preview --selection --json` and `preview --context --json` are query-mode exceptions.
- `doctor --json` always exits zero. Gate on its payload:
```bash
npx hyperframes doctor --json | jq -e '.ok' >/dev/null
```
- Non-TTY mode is automatic. `init` requires `--example` there; use `--non-interactive` to force deterministic behavior on a TTY.
- Use one `HYPERFRAMES_RUN_ID` for all commands in the same verification loop.
- Use `--strict`, `--strict-all`, and `--strict-variables` when the corresponding warnings, variables, or CI conditions must gate the render.
- JSON paths redact the home directory as `$HOME`; do not try to reverse the redaction.
- When a hosted cloud project approaches or exceeds the 200 MB upload limit, use `cloud render --dry-run --json` and follow the `.hyperframesignore` investigation in `references/cloud.md`. Never ignore an asset merely because it is large.
- Never render merely because checks pass. Pause at the final preview and wait for approval.
## Studio-directed edits
When the user refers to “this element” or the current selection, query Studio instead of guessing:
```bash
npx hyperframes preview --context --json --context-fields selection
```
Use `selection.target.hfId` when available, otherwise its selector and source file. If the result reports `no-selection`, ask the user to click the element and rerun. Request only the context slices you need; use `--context-detail full` only for computed styles or editable text metadata. Full behavior and failure codes live in `references/preview-render.md`.
## Render choices
| Need | Command |
| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Fast local iteration | `npx hyperframes render --quality draft` |
| Final local delivery | `npx hyperframes render --quality high --output out.mp4` |
| Reproducible container render | `npx hyperframes render --docker --strict --output out.mp4` |
| Local variable-driven batch render | `npx hyperframes render --batch rows.json --output "renders/{name}.mp4"` |
| HeyGen-hosted zero-infrastructure render | `npx hyperframes cloud render` |
| Self-managed distributed AWS render | `npx hyperframes lambda render <project> --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait` |
| Self-managed distributed GCP render | `npx hyperframes cloudrun render <project> --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait` |
Skill attribution is automatic — the examples above need no `--skill`. A project scaffolded by a workflow (`hyperframes init --skill=<workflow>`) records its owning skill in `hyperframes.json`, and every later render inherits it on anonymous telemetry: re-renders, `npm run render`, and `--batch` alike. Pass `--skill=<slug>` explicitly only to stamp a project that was not created through a workflow (its first render then persists it).
Use cloud rendering when the user wants hosted rendering without local Chrome, FFmpeg, or AWS. Use Lambda only when AWS ownership is a requirement. Use Cloud Run only when GCP ownership is a requirement. Read the matching reference before running any cloud path.
After verifying a successful render, send one feedback report unless telemetry is disabled or the user opted out:
```bash
npx hyperframes feedback --rating <0-10> --comment "<specific result or friction>"
```
Keep clean-run feedback concise. For any bug or friction, capture a **reproduction packet** before submitting; do not send only a symptom summary. Include the rerunnable command (relative to the project directory — feedback is submitted to a public channel, so do **not** paste absolute paths, home-directory prefixes, or user/machine identifiers), expected versus actual behavior, exact error (also strip absolute paths from stack traces — keep basename + line, drop the leading directory), whether output completed/fell back/failed, workaround, and repro-project status. For a rating ≤ 7 that describes a visual defect (black frame, flicker, corrupt output, wrong frame, blank output, other visual anomaly), also include a `COMPOSITION_STRUCTURE:` block — a privacy-preserving structural anatomy (element census + attribute presence + timeline shape) so maintainers can pattern-match against known bug families without the composition ZIP. Agents auto-fill this via the composition-census helper; the human user does not fill it by hand. If the issue did not reproduce again, say so and still include the last failing command and logs. Use `--file-issue` only with consent: it publishes a minimal reproduction to a public URL. The required packet format and privacy warning live in `references/preview-render.md`.
## Read the matching reference before running a command
The following references and owning skills are mandatory command contracts, not optional background reading. Before running a command in the table, read its matching row.
| Need | Reference |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `init`, `capture`, `skills` | `references/init-and-scaffold.md` |
| `lint`, `check`, motion sidecars, `snapshot` | `references/lint-validate-inspect.md` |
| `compare`, `grade-compare`, variable-driven `render --batch` | `references/compare-and-batch.md` |
| `beats` for an existing project's Studio beat grid | `references/beats.md` |
| `preview`, `play`, `render`, `publish`, Studio context, feedback | `references/preview-render.md` |
| `doctor`, browser management | `references/doctor-browser.md` |
| `auth`, HeyGen-hosted cloud rendering, and template variables | `references/cloud.md` |
| AWS Lambda deployment and rendering | `references/lambda.md` |
| Google Cloud Run deployment and rendering | `references/cloudrun.md` |
| `info`, `upgrade`, `compositions`, `docs`, `benchmark`, telemetry, media preprocessing | `references/upgrade-info-misc.md` |
For composition variables, also read `/hyperframes-core` → `references/variables-and-media.md`. For `hyperframes add` and `hyperframes catalog`, use `/hyperframes-registry`. Before `hyperframes present`, read `/slideshow`; before `hyperframes keyframes`, read `/hyperframes-keyframes`. For TTS, transcription, captions, or background removal choices, use `/media-use`.
The specialized commands are deliberately documented by their owning workflows:
```bash
npx hyperframes present <project-dir> --port 3004 --no-open
npx hyperframes beats <project-dir> --json
npx hyperframes keyframes <project-dir> --json
```
`present` serves a navigable deck with presenter and audience synchronization. `beats` is the standalone Studio beat-grid utility defined in `references/beats.md`. `keyframes` surfaces seek-safe animation and motion-path diagnostics.
