## What it catches A gauge needle / clock hand / dial pointer / radar sweep that rotates about the **wrong pivot** — the recovered center-of-rotation sits far from the dial hub (e.g. `transform-origin` at the needle base or SVG element edge instead of the dial center). Visually the needle "wobbles" or orbits off-axis instead of sweeping cleanly about the hub. This is a genuine gap in the current checks: `rotation_pivot_drift` (#2741) provably **cannot** catch it — a correct sweeping needle's bbox-center orbits identically to a broken one, so only a **dial-hub reference** distinguishes them. This is the separate hub-referenced check that analysis called for. ## How it works - Sampler maps 2 material endpoints per frame via `getScreenCTM` (honors the actual rendered transform, independent of `svgOrigin`). - Resolves the dial hub = shared center of the modal set of static concentric circles, or the arc-center of the largest static near-circular path (Kasa circle fit). - Fits a circle to the endpoint trajectory to recover the true center-of-rotation; flags drift `> 0.35 * pointer_length`. One warning per hub. - Never fires without a resolvable hub. Walks the rotation reference to the composition root (not the `<svg>`) so a pointer rotated by a `div` ancestor is measured correctly. - Multi-body guard: `>= 2` bodies at distinct angular positions on one hub = orbit/atom system, not a dial → suppressed. ## Corpus evidence (autonomous geometry-fuzz run, 81 fuzzed diagrams) - **7 / 7 true positives, 0 false positives across all 81 samples.** - Assigned TPs: fuzz005, fuzz017, fuzz032. Bonus TPs: fuzz044, fuzz056, fuzz068, fuzz080. - **The Gemini-3.6 video-judge itself MISSED all 4 bonus TPs** (`vlm_has_defects: false`) — the deterministic hub-reference check beats the VLM on this defect class. - FPs driven to 0 by the two principled guards above: fuzz016 (planet arc rotated by a `div` ancestor) cleared by root-walk; fuzz055 (atom) cleared by the multi-body guard. - fuzz080 reads as a false positive to the connector check but is a true positive here — confirms the architectural boundary between the two checks is drawn correctly. ## Validation - Autonomous Gemini-3.6 **video**-judge fuzz run to surface candidate defects, then a **deterministic FP sweep** across all 81 rendered compositions (not VLM-gated — code inspection is the arbiter, since the VLM both over- and under-calls this class). - 9 unit tests (`checkPipeline.offPivotRotation.test.ts`) + full check suite pass; `bun run build` green. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
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. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./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
doctor
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
docs
Open the documentation in your browser:
npx hyperframes docs
