Miguel Ángel 68bd52ac6d feat: add init tailwind flag (#577)
## Problem

Users who want Tailwind utilities in a plain HyperFrames composition currently have to know which Tailwind browser script to add and where to place it. The first pass added `--tailwind`, but review caught three production-facing gaps: the CDN version was major-only, the insertion helper could silently no-op on compact HTML, and the render pipeline did not explicitly wait for Tailwind's async browser compilation before capturing frame 0.

There is also a version-specific agent risk: HyperFrames `init --tailwind` uses Tailwind v4.2 through `@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4`, while `packages/studio` still uses Tailwind v3. Without a dedicated skill, agents can easily mix v3 `tailwind.config.js` / `@tailwind` patterns into v4 browser-runtime composition HTML.

## What this fixes

- Adds `hyperframes init --tailwind`.
- Pins the Tailwind browser runtime to `@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4/dist/index.global.js` with SRI and `crossorigin="anonymous"`.
- Injects a `window.__tailwindReady` promise next to the browser runtime.
- Makes frame capture wait for `window.__tailwindReady` in both screenshot and BeginFrame capture modes before capturing frame 0.
- Inserts Tailwind support before `</head>` case-insensitively, including single-line/minified heads, and falls back to prepending when there is no head tag.
- Skips recursive Tailwind injection under `.git`, `dist`, and `node_modules`.
- Tracks whether init used Tailwind in the existing `init_template` telemetry event.
- Adds a first-party `/tailwind` skill for Tailwind v4.2 browser-runtime HyperFrames composition work.
- Updates README, docs, generated project agent files, CLI skill guidance, and plugin metadata so the Tailwind skill is discoverable.
- Documents the browser-runtime tradeoff and production/offline guidance.

## Root cause

`scaffoldProject()` copied the selected example and patched media placeholders, then immediately wrote project metadata and `package.json`. There was no optional post-copy step for framework-specific HTML support. The initial Tailwind post-copy step also treated the browser runtime like a static script, but Tailwind compiles utilities asynchronously after scanning the DOM, so the capture engine needed an explicit readiness contract.

On the agent side, the repo exposed HyperFrames, CLI, GSAP, registry, and runtime adapter skills, but had no Tailwind-specific instruction to separate the v4 browser-runtime composition path from Studio's v3 internal setup.

## Verification

### Local checks

- `bunx vitest run packages/cli/src/commands/init.test.ts`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli test src/commands/init.test.ts`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli typecheck`
- `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine typecheck`
- `bun run lint:skills`
- `bun run lint`
- `npx skills add . --list` showed 12 local skills, including `tailwind`.
- `bunx oxfmt --check packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts packages/cli/src/commands/init.test.ts packages/cli/src/telemetry/events.ts packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture.ts docs/packages/cli.mdx`
- `bunx oxfmt --check README.md docs/quickstart.mdx docs/packages/cli.mdx CLAUDE.md packages/cli/src/templates/_shared/CLAUDE.md packages/cli/src/templates/_shared/AGENTS.md skills/hyperframes-cli/SKILL.md skills/tailwind/SKILL.md .codex-plugin/plugin.json .cursor-plugin/plugin.json`
- `bunx oxlint packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts packages/cli/src/commands/init.test.ts packages/cli/src/telemetry/events.ts packages/engine/src/services/frameCapture.ts`

Generated-project render proof at `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof`:

- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts init /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof --example blank --tailwind --non-interactive --skip-skills`
- Added a temporary Tailwind-only card using `flex`, `h-full`, `w-full`, `items-center`, `justify-center`, `bg-slate-950`, `rounded-3xl`, `bg-white`, `px-20`, `py-12`, `text-8xl`, `font-black`, `text-black`, and `shadow-2xl`.
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts lint /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof` → 0 errors, 0 warnings.
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts validate /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof` → 0 errors, 0 regular warnings; the temp proof still reports validator contrast warnings even though the rendered/browser pixels show black text on white background.
- `bun packages/cli/src/cli.ts render /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof --workers 1 --fps 24 --quality draft --output /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/output.mp4`
- Render compiler inlined both GSAP and `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4/dist/index.global.js`.
- `ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name,width,height,r_frame_rate,duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1 /tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/output.mp4` → H.264, 1920x1080, 24fps, 10s.
- Extracted frame-0 proof: `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/frame-000.png`.

### Browser verification

- Started Studio preview for `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof`.
- Used `agent-browser` to open `http://localhost:5194`.
- Verified the Tailwind-styled composition rendered in Studio preview.
- Captured screenshot: `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/browser/tailwind-preview.png`.
- Captured agent-browser-driven recording: `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/browser/tailwind-preview.webm`.
- Served the PR worktree locally and used `agent-browser` to open the new Tailwind skill proof page.
- Verified the browser-visible skill content includes `@tailwindcss/browser@4.2.4`.
- Captured screenshot: `/Users/miguel07code/.codex/worktrees/pr-577-tailwind-comments/tmp/agent-browser-proof/tailwind-skill.png`.
- Captured agent-browser-driven recording: `/Users/miguel07code/.codex/worktrees/pr-577-tailwind-comments/tmp/agent-browser-proof/tailwind-skill.webm`.

## Notes

- This still intentionally uses Tailwind's browser runtime rather than adding a generated Tailwind build pipeline. That keeps `hyperframes init --tailwind` small and compatible with the current no-install generated project workflow.
- The `/tailwind` skill cites official Tailwind v4 docs plus community skill references, but its instructions are HyperFrames-specific and tuned for the pinned v4.2 browser runtime.
- Browser proof artifacts are local-only under `/tmp/hf-tailwind-render-proof-artifacts/` and `tmp/agent-browser-proof/` and intentionally not committed.
