* fix(sdk): moveElement survives GSAP animation per-axis via runtime delta translate

A committed moveElement wrote data-x/data-y but nothing rendered them:
hosts shimmed CSS translate, which GSAP folds into the cached transform
at first parse and then discards on the animated axis at every seek —
dragging an animated element kept only the un-animated axis.

Spike-proven on GSAP 3.15: a translate set AFTER GSAP's first parse is
never read, folded, or cleared across seeks and composes natively with
the animated transform. So:

- moveElement captures the pre-edit baseline once (data-hf-edit-base-x/y)
- the runtime (new core runtime/positionEdits.ts, applied at timeline
  bind — after GSAP parse) renders translate = (data-x − base), a pure
  delta that composes with GSAP tweens, tl.set positions, and CSS alike
- applyDraft now drives the drag preview through the same translate
  channel (the --hf-studio-dx/dy vars had no consumer outside authored
  Studio bridges), and commitPreview mirrors the committed move onto
  the live element so it holds without an srcdoc reload

Acceptance: packages/engine/scripts/test-runtime-position-edits-browser.ts
(real Chrome + GSAP + runtime IIFE, no Studio shell) — X-animated,
Y-animated, and static elements hold both edited axes across the full
seek range. New subpath export @hyperframes/core/runtime/position-edits.

Known limitation (documented): a tween created lazily at runtime that
first-parses a marked element after apply folds the edit.

* fix(sdk): harden position-edit rendering and the drag draft channel

Fixes six issues from adversarial review of the moveElement stack:

- Runtime: apply position edits at init as well as at timeline bind, so
  committed moves render in compositions with no usable GSAP timeline
  (CSS/WAAPI-animated or fully static) — previously the apply was
  unreachable outside the boundDuration > 0 bind branch and the edit
  silently vanished from reloads and renders.
- Runtime: guard bind-path re-apply against post-fold double-apply — if
  the previously written translate was consumed externally (a lazily
  created tween folding it into GSAP's cached transform), skip instead
  of re-setting it on top ({force} escape hatch for editor commits).
- Adapter: stop writing the --hf-studio-dx/dy custom properties during
  drags — compositions with the documented var-consuming drag-bridge
  CSS moved by twice the pointer delta (var transform + new inline
  translate). The inline translate is now the only draft channel;
  deltas accumulate in adapter fields. Docs updated to match.
- Adapter: switching applyDraft to a new id reverts the abandoned
  element's draft translate instead of leaving it displaced with no op.
- Adapter: cancelPreview restores the raw inline translate (removing it
  when there was none), so a stylesheet-authored translate is never
  promoted to a permanent inline style.
- Adapter: commitPreview reverts the draft and clears state when
  dispatch throws, instead of leaving the element shifted by an
  uncommitted draft.

Cleanups: reuse readCurrentTranslate from the core module (was a
verbatim copy), drop the dead __hfApplyPositionEdits window hook.
Browser acceptance test now also covers the GSAP-free composition path.

* fix(core): prime GSAP transform cache before position-edit apply; add fold-loss telemetry

Addresses PR #1875 review feedback (Rames, Miga):

- Prime the element's GSAP transform parse (gsap.getProperty) before the
  first translate apply — positioned tl.set()s and tweens that first
  RENDER after the apply now reuse the cache instead of folding the edit.
  This closes the lazy-first-parse fold-loss for any page where GSAP is
  loaded at apply time; the residual limitation is GSAP itself loading
  after the apply. Proven by the extended browser acceptance test.
- Emit position_edit_fold_skipped analytics at the fold-guard skip site
  so the residual degradation is observable instead of silent.
- Browser acceptance test: add a both-axis-animated element (the shape
  that originated the per-axis loss) and a positioned tl.set() element,
  asserted across the full seek range.
- Simplify the num() null guard (review nit).

@hyperframes/engine

Seekable web-page-to-video rendering engine built on Puppeteer and FFmpeg.

Framework-agnostic: works with GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, CSS animations, or any web content that implements the window.__hf seek protocol.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/engine

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded by Puppeteer), FFmpeg

What it does

The engine opens your HTML composition in a headless Chrome instance, seeks frame-by-frame using Chrome's HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame API, captures screenshots, and encodes them into video with FFmpeg.

Key services

Service Description
browserManager Launches and pools headless Chrome instances (chrome-headless-shell)
frameCapture Manages capture sessions — seek, screenshot, buffer lifecycle
screenshotService BeginFrame-based capture with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol)
chunkEncoder FFmpeg encoding with chunked concat, GPU detection, faststart
streamingEncoder Pipe frames to FFmpeg in real time (no intermediate PNGs on disk)
audioMixer Parse <audio> elements and mix audio tracks via FFmpeg
videoFrameExtractor Extract frames from <video> elements for compositing
parallelCoordinator Split frame ranges across worker processes
fileServer Serve local HTML files to the browser via Hono

Usage

import {
  acquireBrowser,
  releaseBrowser,
  createCaptureSession,
  initializeSession,
  captureFrame,
  closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";

// 1. Launch browser
const browser = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });

// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
  browser: browser.browser,
  url: "http://localhost:3000/my-composition.html",
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
});
await initializeSession(session);

// 3. Capture frames
for (let i = 0; i < totalFrames; i++) {
  await captureFrame(session, i, `/tmp/frames/frame-${i}.png`);
}

// 4. Clean up
await closeCaptureSession(session);
await releaseBrowser(browser);

Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
