James RussoandClaude Opus 4.8 d580f2a1d8 fix(render): make WebGL video textures deterministic in headless render (#1403)
* fix(render): make WebGL video textures deterministic in headless render

WebGL compositions that sample a `<video>` as a texture (e.g. a faceted
crystal with clips mapped onto its facets) rendered with flickering,
non-deterministic facets: a video would intermittently show a stale frame or
go black, and the same frame differed between two renders.

Two gaps caused this:

1. No WebGL analog of the WebGPU `patchVideoTextureCompat`. Chrome's headless
   compositor can't feed decoded `<video>` frames to the GPU, so the engine
   injects a decoded `<img class="__render_frame__">` sibling per video each
   frame. The WebGPU `copyExternalImageToTexture` path substitutes it, but
   `texImage2D` / `texSubImage2D` did not — so WebGL uploaded a stale/black
   frame. Add `patchWebGLVideoTextureCompat()` mirroring the WebGPU patch
   (shared `resolveRenderFrameImage` helper).

2. Capture ordering. Per frame the runtime seeks (GPU adapters render on
   `hf-seek`) BEFORE the engine injects the decoded frames, so the GPU render
   read a frame that didn't exist yet. After injecting, the engine now calls
   `window.__hfReseekGpu(t)` — a force-dispatch (`forceDispatchSeekEvent`) that
   bypasses the same-time `hf-seek` dedup — so GPU compositions re-upload their
   textures from the freshly-injected, decoded frames, deterministically.

Tests: unit tests for the texImage2D/texSubImage2D substitution and the
force-dispatch, plus a videoFrameInjector regression test asserting the
post-injection GPU reseek fires only when frames were injected. Verified
end-to-end: a WebGL prism with 8 live <video> facets renders byte-identical
across independent runs with no facet flicker.

* test(render): add producer render-compat regression for WebGL video textures

A WebGL2 canvas samples a <video> as a texture every hf-seek (the natural
author pattern, distilled from the HeyGen prism). The render-compat harness
renders it and compares against the golden: with the video-texture fix the
render reproduces the decoded frames; revert the fix and the canvas renders
black, collapsing the comparison.

Golden verified to contain real, time-varying video content (not black), so a
regression is caught rather than passing vacuously.

@hyperframes/core

Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/core

Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.

What's inside

Module Description
Types TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults
Parsers parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations
Generators generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec
Compiler compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times
Linter lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.)
Runtime IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol
Frame Adapters Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom)

Frame Adapters

A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:

import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
  getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
  compositionId: "my-video",
});

Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:

import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
  id: "my-adapter",
  getDurationFrames: () => 300,
  seekFrame: (frame) => {
    /* seek your animation */
  },
};

Parsing and generating HTML

import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";

const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);

Linting

import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";

const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
