Modern frameworks (Next.js, Webpack) hash font filenames like
`f9b8e1e8d4c3f0a7-s.woff2`, so the capture pipeline can't tell which
file belongs to which family by reading the filename. Sub-agents
authoring DESIGN.md were guessing or falling back to system fonts.
This adds `fontMetadataExtractor.ts`: reads the binary OpenType `name`
table via `fontkit`, identifies each downloaded font by its real
family name, and writes `capture/extracted/fonts-manifest.json` with
per-file metadata + per-family aggregates (weights, variable-font
axes, file counts).
- Canonicalizes static-weight family-name packaging: "Inter Medium"
resolves to family "Inter" with weight 500, "Semi Bold" normalizes
to "SemiBold", etc. Width modifiers ("Tight", "Condensed") are NOT
stripped — they denote separate typographic families.
- Reads variable-font axes from `fvar` so a single .woff2 carrying a
full weight range is identified as variable (e.g. "Inter (100-900
variable)").
- Uses `@types/fontkit` properly (no `unknown` cast), with a
Font/FontCollection type guard. fontkit API drift surfaces as a
compile error rather than silent undefined.
- Wired into `capture/index.ts` after `downloadAndRewriteFonts` so it
runs after fonts are already on disk. Non-fatal try/catch — capture
succeeds even if extraction fails.
Tested against 9 captures: 132/132 fonts identified by real family
name, including hashed Next.js builds.
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:
npx hyperframes render ./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
