Miguel Ángel cd832f01ac fix(core): mute preview audio per-element so a slow-decoding track isn't silenced (#1602)
The runtime plays audio two ways — a Web Audio transport (sample-accurate) and
the HTMLMediaElement as a fallback — and mutes the elements when Web Audio takes
over so they don't double-play. That mute gate was global: it muted every element
the moment ANY Web Audio source was active (webAudio.isActive()). A track Web
Audio had not claimed yet (its larger buffer decodes slower) was muted on the
fallback AND not playing on Web Audio = silent, while the other tracks played.
With TTS narration + BGM + SFX, the narration (largest buffer) lost the decode
race and dropped out intermittently, with every file fully loaded.

Make the mute per-element: an element is muted only when its own Web Audio source
is live, or the user / parent-proxy force-mute is set. A track Web Audio has not
claimed stays audible on the HTMLMedia fallback until the transport takes it over
— which also lets narration start immediately on cold play instead of waiting for
its buffer to decode.

Also in this change:
- Don't permanently blacklist a transient fetch failure in the Web Audio decoder
  (_failedSrcs was never cleared); only blacklist genuinely undecodable bytes, so
  a late-arriving asset (404 then available) self-heals on the next play.
- Stop re-issuing play() every tick on an errored / no-source element.

Hyperframe Runtime Engine

This folder owns the runtime that powers preview and producer parity.

Current Direction

  • Runtime source of truth is converging on hyperframe.ts.
  • Build produces:
    • dist/hyperframe.runtime.iife.js (browser bootstrap)
    • dist/hyperframe.runtime.mjs (tooling/tests)
    • dist/hyperframe.manifest.json (version + sha256 + artifact map)
  • FE owns iframe runtime injection.
  • BE persists raw generated HTML without injecting runtime scripts.
  • Producer validates pinned runtime checksum from manifest before render.

Runtime Contract (Stable Surface)

Globals:

  • window.__player
  • window.__playerReady
  • window.__renderReady
  • window.__timelines
  • window.__clipManifest

postMessage:

  • parent -> runtime control:
    • source: "hf-parent"
    • type: "control"
    • actions: play, pause, seek, set-muted, set-playback-rate, enable-pick-mode, disable-pick-mode
  • runtime -> parent events:
    • source: "hf-preview"
    • type: "state" and type: "timeline"
    • type: "ready" — emitted once when installRuntimeControlBridge registers the control-message listener. The parent uses it to replay current playback state (set-muted, set-volume, set-playback-rate) so any control message sent before the listener was installed isn't lost. Emitted again on every iframe reload because the new runtime instance starts with no state.

Determinism baseline:

  • renderSeek is the producer-canonical seek path.
  • 30fps quantization and readiness gates are correctness requirements.

Build

bun run --filter @hyperframes/core build:hyperframes-runtime

Security Expectations

  • Runtime bootstrap URL must be version-pinned and host-allowlisted.
  • Iframe bridge payloads must be schema-validated.
  • Unsafe URL schemes (javascript: and unapproved data:) are rejected.
  • Fail closed if runtime bootstrap/handshake is not healthy.

Product Editing Model

  • Primary mode: prompt + element picking.
  • Secondary mode: manual precision controls.
  • Avoid timeline-first manual workflows as default product path.
