* feat(studio-server): history can copy the files before or after any change into a folder ProjectHistory.checkout(entryId, side, emptyDir) writes the project as entry entryId found it (before) or left it (after) into an empty folder, leaving the project and its history untouched, so a host can play a change's before and after side by side. The entry's own files come from its recorded change and the rest from the entries logged before it, so a change stays exact when entries were logged out of write order. * fix(studio-server): checkout refuses an unreadable folder and every replay names its side * fix(studio-server): checkout lays out only trees that existed and never writes into the project An entry's tree now includes later-logged entries whose writes it continues (an outside change that turned a file into a folder before an agent turn edited inside it), each file replayed in the order its versions chain. Checkout refuses a folder inside the project (symlinks included), refuses a tree with a path that is both a file and a folder before writing anything, and empties the folder again if a copy fails. manifestAt is back to main's replay. * fix(studio-server): history logs every change in the order it was written A window now settles pending writes, the held claim and the outside group before it opens, and commits a held claim before its own entry when it closes, so the log order is the write order and every replay (checkout, restore, peek, reopen) sees files as they were. Removes the dependency replay added for checkout. Visible change: an outside burst that spans an agent turn is two entries, and a drag held across a turn ends at the turn. * fix(studio-server): checkout recognises its project folder whatever letter case the path uses * fix(studio-server): overlapping turns, operations and claims log every pending change in write order settle() (a window opening, an undo, restore or step) and every claim commit the held claim, the outside group and each open window's pending changes as a part, oldest first; the windows stay open. A held drag ends when another write is pending. One commitPending owner replaces the claimed-paths-only cut. * feat(studio-server): undo is per author, and a turn part undoes alone keeping later edits * test(studio-server): pin per-author redo and name a person's open window on Cmd+Z * refactor(studio-server): split Cmd+Z target lookup and claim steps under the audit's thresholds * fix(studio-server): a file replaced by a folder logs its removal before the folder's files * fix(studio-server): undo across a file/folder swap works, and a later swap stays the person's * fix(studio-server): an undo blocked by a file added since refuses before touching any file * fix(studio-server): an undo never writes through or replaces a link standing in its way * fix(studio-server): undo and redo across a letter-case file/folder swap work in every direction * fix(studio-server): a letter-case file/folder swap after an idle turn stays one checkable entry * fix(studio-server): decide letter-case folding from the project's own disk * docs(studio-server): keep three history comments under the line limit * fix(studio-server): checkout checks and fills one resolved folder, so it never overwrites a nonempty one
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: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
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
Set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 when starting a render with nohup or
disown so it keeps running after the invoking shell exits.
publish
Upload a project directory and get a hosted URL that keeps working after the CLI exits. Published projects are private by default:
npx hyperframes publish
npx hyperframes publish ./my-video
npx hyperframes publish --public
npx hyperframes publish --yes
Signed-out publishing returns an authentication-required claim URL; opening it
lets someone sign in and claim the project. Sign in first with
npx hyperframes auth login to publish an owned project you can update. Use
--public to make the claimed project visible to anyone. --yes only skips the
confirmation prompt and does not change visibility.
Signed-in publishers can use --update <url-or-id> to target an existing project
or --space <space-id> to publish into a shared team space. If the requested
project is missing or inaccessible, publishing can create a new project instead;
check the printed URL and status.
See the publish reference for all options, including video proxy settings.
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
