Transcribe failures are recorded as `cli_command_result success=false` but
without a reason: the command catches its own error, prints it, and
`process.exit(1)` — the message never reaches telemetry. `cli_error` was only
emitted from the uncaughtException / unhandledRejection handlers, so
self-handled command failures were invisible. That makes a high failure rate
countable but not debuggable.
Add `trackCommandFailure(command, err)` — a thin wrapper over the existing
`trackCliError({ kind: "command_error" })` that normalizes an unknown reason to
name/message/stack. It enqueues synchronously, so the process `exit` handler's
flushSync ships it alongside `cli_command_result`. Respects the telemetry
opt-out (gated in trackEvent) and reuses the existing PII redaction.
Wire it into all three of transcribe's failure exits (file-not-found,
empty-transcript import, and the transcribe() catch — ffmpeg / whisper-binary /
model-download errors). Now each failure carries its reason, so we can see how
much of the failure rate is environment vs user input.
The helper is generic — the same one-liner can be dropped into other commands'
failure paths, or centralized at the runMain boundary, as a follow-up.
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
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
