Miguel Ángel 58ddb11bc5 chore: release v0.3.0 (#249)
## Summary

Coordinated minor bump across all published packages. No source changes in this PR itself; it is the version stamp for everything that landed on main since v0.2.5.

## Version bumps

| Package | from | to |
|---|---|---|
| `@hyperframes/cli` | 0.2.5 | **0.3.0** |
| `@hyperframes/core` | 0.2.5 | **0.3.0** |
| `@hyperframes/engine` | 0.2.5 | **0.3.0** |
| `@hyperframes/player` | 0.2.7 | **0.3.0** |
| `@hyperframes/producer` | 0.2.5 | **0.3.0** |
| `@hyperframes/studio` | 0.2.9 | **0.3.0** |

Between 0.2.5 and this release, `player` and `studio` received several patch versions on npm as we iterated on the bundler, entry point, and SSR issues. 0.3.0 collapses that into a single coordinated minor so the ecosystem is aligned again.

## What is in v0.3.0

### `@hyperframes/player`

**Restored package entry points to the compiled `dist/` output.** 0.2.5 shipped with `"main": "./src/hyperframes-player.ts"` but the published tarball only included `dist/` via the `"files"` field. Every consumer trying to import the package failed with `Module not found: Can't resolve '@hyperframes/player'`. Entry points now point at the built JS/`.d.ts` files inside `dist/`.

**DOM-based root timeline resolution in the ready probe.** In a bundled preview, `window.__timelines` contains the master composition alongside its sub-compositions, for example:

```js
{
  main: GSAPTimeline(14s),
  intro: GSAPTimeline(1.5s),
  'scene2-4-canvas': GSAPTimeline(12.6s),
  'scene5-logo-outro': GSAPTimeline(3.2s),
}
```

The probe used to select the adapter with `keys[keys.length - 1]`. Object key ordering meant the last-registered sub-composition would win, so the `ready` event reported a sub-composition's duration (e.g. 3.2s) instead of the master's 14s. The probe now looks up the root composition id from the outermost `[data-composition-id]` element in the iframe DOM and uses its key. Falls back to the last key when no element is present, so standalone sub-composition previews keep working.

### `@hyperframes/studio`

**`useTimelinePlayer.getAdapter()` uses the same DOM-based root id lookup** as the player. Previously play, pause, seek, and duration readout were all driven by whichever sub-composition happened to register its timeline last.

**`Player.tsx` loads `@hyperframes/player` lazily.** The component used to call `import "@hyperframes/player"` at module scope, which runs the package's `customElements.define(...)` side effect during module evaluation. `HTMLElement` does not exist in the Node runtime, so any consumer page that transitively imported the studio during server rendering threw:

```
ReferenceError: HTMLElement is not defined
  at module evaluation (@hyperframes/studio/src/player/components/Player.tsx)
```

The import now runs inside the mount effect via `import(...)` so it only evaluates in the browser. Added a cancellation flag and deferred cleanup so a fast unmount before the dynamic import resolves does not leak listeners or DOM nodes.

**Captions module imports stripped of `.js` extensions.** Files under `src/captions/` imported siblings as `./types.js` and `./parser.js`. That is legal ESM TypeScript but Turbopack and several other bundlers refuse to resolve those specifiers against `.ts` files inside `node_modules`, breaking any consumer build that transitively pulled in the captions module. Captions now uses extensionless imports, matching the rest of the studio codebase.

### `@hyperframes/core`, `@hyperframes/cli`, `@hyperframes/engine`, `@hyperframes/producer`

Version bump only, no source changes since 0.2.5. Kept on the same version so the ecosystem is easier to reason about.

## Impact for consumers

If you use `@hyperframes/studio` in a Next.js app:
- The play button in a bundled preview reports the correct composition duration and drives the master timeline.
- The session page no longer 500s in dev mode when the studio barrel is imported (the SSR fix).
- Turbopack builds that transitively load the captions module no longer fail on `Cannot resolve './types.js'`.

If you use `@hyperframes/player` directly:
- Consumer bundlers can resolve the package again (dist entry points restored).
- The `ready` event duration reports the master, not a sub-composition.

## After merge

Publish each package to npm with `pnpm publish` (workspace deps auto-resolve).

@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.
