Miguel Ángel b2fc18b2df fix(skills,lint): correct composition-contract claims the code contradicts (#3468)
The runtime absorbed a series of authoring mistakes over time and `runtime/init.ts`
says so in its own comments, but the skills kept teaching the old rules. Four of
them actively cost an agent a failing run: add `crossorigin` (lint rejects it
unconditionally), never build a timeline inside `async` (lint calls that the
documented contract), never `gsap.set` later-scene clips (two fixHints instruct
exactly that), and 12 copyable media snippets with no `id`, which render silent.

Corrected in every place each claim appeared, including `hyperframes-animation`,
three workflow scripts, the scaffolded project instructions, the CLI `docs`
command, and the public docs site: `data-track-index` is a Studio display lane
the render never reads, `class="clip"` is a layout convention rather than a
visibility requirement, timed elements may nest, the visibility window is
half-open, sub-composition host dimensions are backfilled, and the root-fill rule
applies only to the layered-composite path.

Behaviour changes, each backed by a render rather than by reading code:

- `timeline_registry_missing_init` deleted. The runtime creates the registry
  before any inline script; a composition without the guard line renders and
  animates correctly.
- `video_nested_in_timed_element` kept, message corrected. A rendered repro shows
  the nested-with-local-start case really does break, so the rule guards a real
  defect, but nothing is "FROZEN": the extractor ignores the wrapper's offset
  while visibility uses it, so the clip shows wrong frames and then vanishes.
- `mediaRenderIds` now stamps media whose source is a `<source>` child, closing a
  duplicate-id gap the old `[src]`-only selector left open.
- Stale messages fixed on `subcomposition_root_styled_by_class` and
  `deprecated_data_layer`.

`coreSkillContent.test.ts` pinned the literal sentence that made root
`data-start` look required, so it is narrowed to structure plus the regression it
genuinely catches.

Not covered, and flagged in the PR: the media global-vs-local start heuristic in
`runtime/init.ts` is the root cause behind the nested-video defect. Removing it
changes the meaning of existing compositions and needs its own deprecation.

# Minimal Composition
The smallest renderable HyperFrames composition — a standalone (top-level) root with one clip and one tween:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1920, height=1080" />
<title>Minimal HyperFrames Composition</title>

<section id="title-card" class="clip" data-start="0" data-duration="5">
<h1 id="title">Hello HyperFrames</h1>
</section>
</div>
<script>
const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
tl.from("#title", { y: 48, opacity: 0, duration: 0.6, ease: "power3.out" }, 0.2);
window.__timelines["main"] = tl;
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
What the runtime actually requires:
- Root `<div>` with `data-composition-id`, `data-width`, `data-height`. Root `data-start="0"` is written above by convention and every shipped block has it, but the runtime stamps it when absent, so it is not required.
- A duration source: root `data-duration` (as above), or a GSAP timeline, or media, or an adapter that can infer one.
- Timed elements carry `data-start` plus a duration. That attribute alone is what makes an element a clip: `class="clip"` is a layout and tooling convention, and `data-track-index` is a Studio display lane. Neither is required, and a composition with no clips at all renders fine.
- A GSAP timeline created paused and registered on `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"]`.
Everything else in the skeleton is ordinary HTML and CSS: the `#root` box, `.clip` positioning, and fonts are yours to choose.
This pattern is **standalone** (top-level `index.html`) — no `<template>` wrapper around the root. For sub-compositions (files loaded by `data-composition-src`), see `sub-compositions.md`.
