Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 d5e1de9201 fix(studio): a composition with a <canvas> no longer kills the SDK session
linkedom's HTMLCanvasElement constructor calls createCanvas(300, 150) from the
Node-only `canvas` package, behind this guard:

    try { module.exports = require('canvas') }
    catch { module.exports = require('./canvas-shim.cjs') }

The guard only works with a runtime require. Vite resolves the specifier
statically, so the bundled form is `try { exports = <module> } catch {...}` — a
plain assignment that cannot throw. The catch never runs, linkedom's own shim is
bundled but unreachable, and createCanvas lands undefined. Verified in the built
artifact: the canvas module namespace carried only a `default` export.

Parsing any <canvas> tag therefore threw inside openComposition, so Studio lost
its SDK session for the entire composition. Every edit then fell back to the
server path, and the resolver shadow did not run either, which is why this was
invisible before v0.8.47 added studio:sdk_session_unavailable. In the 72h after
the flip it accounted for 1065 of 1544 session-open failures, across a large
share of 197 users. Canvas is common in compositions: Three.js, shaders,
particle effects, charts.

Aliases `canvas` to a local browser stub that mirrors linkedom's shim
(measurement-only; nothing in the SDK rasterizes through it). Reimplemented
locally rather than pointing at linkedom's commonjs/canvas-shim.cjs, which its
exports map does not expose.

Confirmed against a rebuild: the namespace now carries createCanvas, so the
call returns a stub instead of throwing.

Note the unit tests here pass with or without the fix — vitest resolves the
require at runtime, so only the bundled build was ever broken. The regression
guard therefore pins the alias itself, since nothing else in the suite can
observe the bundler.

@hyperframes/studio

Browser-based composition editor UI for Hyperframes. Provides a visual timeline, code editor, and live preview for building video compositions.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/studio

What it does

The studio is a React application with:

  • Visual timeline — drag, resize, and arrange elements on tracks
  • Code editor — edit HTML and GSAP scripts with CodeMirror (syntax highlighting, autocomplete)
  • Live preview — see changes in real time as you edit
  • Composition inspector — view and modify element properties

Development

The studio is embedded in the hyperframes preview command. To develop the studio UI itself:

cd packages/studio
bun run dev        # Start Vite dev server
bun run build      # Build for production
bun run typecheck  # Type-check

Tech stack

  • React 19, Zustand 4/5 (state management; development uses Zustand 5)
  • CodeMirror 6 (editor)
  • Tailwind CSS (styling)
  • Vite (bundler)
  • Phosphor Icons
