Miguel Angel Simon Sierra fa3c1babba fix(cli): resolve relative data-start references in composition duration
`compositions --json` computed each timed child's start with a bare
parseFloat(data-start ?? "0") in parseCompositions (host duration) and
parseSubComposition (sub-comp duration). A relative reference like
data-start="s1" ("start when clip s1 ends") is not numeric, so parseFloat
returned NaN and that clip's contribution to the max-end was silently
dropped — a host with two 3s clips (2nd data-start="s1") reported duration 3
instead of 6, breaking compositions/inspect/snapshot for composition-clip
relative timing.

Resolve relative references the same way the extractor does (parseStartExpression
from @hyperframes/core + a findReferenceTargetEl/resolveReferencedStart port,
since the engine's referenceResolver isn't a public export across the package
boundary). Verified: host duration now 6; 3 tests pass.
(Implemented via Codex; verified independently.)

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
