The bundler emits three warnings -- an un-inlinable color-grading LUT, a StaticGuard contract breach, and a skipped sub-composition -- as bare console.warn calls. They never reached the structured check report, so --json consumers could not see them at all and a terminal reader had to catch them scrolling past above the report they were reading. bundleToSingleHtml now takes an optional diagnostics sink, following the onMissingComposition hook inlineSubCompositions already uses. Without a sink the calls console.warn exactly as before, with byte-identical text and a byte-identical bundle; a test pins both. check passes one and renders a Compile section carrying the same CheckFinding shape lint and runtime already use. Two deliberate limits. Compile counts stay out of the aggregate totals, so --strict fails nothing it passes today: this changes what you can see, not what passes. And the section carries a reached flag, because an empty findings list is otherwise ambiguous -- runCheckPipeline short-circuits before bundling whenever lint has errors, and clean and never-ran must not print the same. It reports not reached (fix lint errors first) instead, and is also false when the browser check throws after bundling. Verified on a lint-clean probe: the LUT warning appears in the Compile section and in the --json envelope. Removing data-width from the same probe makes lint fail and the section correctly reads not reached. Left as follow-ups: sub_composition_skipped is arguably an error for a render, since you ship a bundle silently missing a scene; and static_guard_contract fires only when lint has errors, so it is structurally unreachable through check and surfaces for studio, preview and render callers only.
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
upgrade
Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:
npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json # machine-readable for agents
