The DE parallel router (HF_DE_PARALLEL_ROUTER) becomes default-ON. The soak answered the safety question it was gated on: zero damaged frames shipped — every fallback was the self-verification net catching a bad frame and recovering on the screenshot path. Verify PSNR p10 sits flat near 40 dB against a 32 dB floor. The residual 2.31% revert rate is an efficiency cost (a revert forfeits the speedup, never the output), accepted in exchange for parallelizing the >=700-frame band — roughly 80% of all DE capture wall-clock, frame-weighted. Default-ON is safe because the per-install circuit breaker stays underneath it. That distinction matters: 9.8% of installs hit a revert, and they are latched off permanently after the first one. Without the breaker those installs would go from "one slow render, then protected" to "every eligible render is slow". The breaker, adapted for a default-ON flag: - Writes an explicit HF_DE_PARALLEL_ROUTER=false and persists it to ~/.hyperframes/config.json, so the install stays off across processes. Absent no longer means off, so the switch has to be written, not unset. - Trips only on a real fallback, never on render count — a healthy install keeps the speedup indefinitely. - Independent of telemetry state: opting out of analytics must not cost a user the faster renderer. Telemetry governs reporting, not behavior. - An explicit user value wins in both directions, latched before the breaker can write the var and make the two indistinguishable. - The user is told when it trips and how to re-enable. isDeParallelRouterEnabled() parses the kill switch properly: false/0/off/no (case- and space-insensitive) disable; unset or empty is the default. A bare `!== "false"` would silently ignore every spelling but one and hand parallel DE to a user who asked for none.

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. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./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
