Vance Ingalls 36075c6797 fix(engine,producer): classify blank vs psnr from a structural field, not the error message
Deepwork's request-changes on #2411 (twice): deFallbackReason's blank/psnr
split still ran /blank/i.test(err.message) even after this PR's stated goal
of moving off message-text parsing — a reworded message, a translated
string, or a differently-shaped error crossing a module boundary could
silently relabel a blank failure as psnr (or vice versa), corrupting the
soak's telemetry taxonomy.

DrawElementVerificationDetails now carries a required `kind: "blank" | "psnr"`
field, set at all three real throw sites in captureStreamingStage.ts. The
orchestrator derives deFallbackReason from getDrawElementVerificationDetails's
kind instead of regexing the message. Making `kind` a required constructor
argument means any future throw site that omits it fails to compile, closing
the gap for good rather than just at today's three call sites.

New tests in frameCapture.test.ts prove message-independence directly: kind
survives a reworded message that says neither "blank" nor "psnr", and stays
correctly "psnr" even when the message adversarially contains the substring
"blank" — the exact scenario a regex-based classifier would get wrong.

@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.
