James RussoandClaude Opus 4.6 aea128b606 feat(cli): smart port selection with instance reuse (#226)
* feat(cli): smart port selection with instance reuse

Replace the simple 10-port retry loop with best-in-class port handling:

- Multi-host port testing (127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, ::1, ::) catches ports
  occupied by SSH forwarding or other interfaces invisible to localhost
- HTTP probe (/__hyperframes_config) detects existing HyperFrames
  preview servers — reuses same-project instances instead of spawning
  duplicates, skips different-project instances
- PID detection via lsof for actionable "Port N in use by PID X" logs
- Expanded scan range from 10 to 100 ports
- Added --force-new flag to bypass instance detection
- Async PID detection (execFile, no shell) and parallel host testing

Fixes the "10 ports are all in use" error that occurs when zombie
preview servers accumulate or devbox port forwarding occupies ports.

* feat(cli): add --list and --kill-all flags to preview command

- `hyperframes preview --list` scans the port range and displays all
  active HyperFrames preview servers with their project name, directory,
  and PID
- `hyperframes preview --kill-all` kills all active preview servers
- Port scanning uses parallel batched probes (20 at a time) for speed

Gives users visibility into zombie preview servers and a one-command
way to clean them up.

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.

compositions

List compositions found in the current project:

npx hyperframes compositions

benchmark

Run rendering benchmarks:

npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html

doctor

Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):

npx hyperframes doctor

browser

Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:

npx hyperframes browser

info

Print version and environment info:

npx hyperframes info

docs

Open the documentation in your browser:

npx hyperframes docs

upgrade

Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:

npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json  # machine-readable for agents
