-# HyperFrames — Complete Capabilities Inventory
-
-Everything possible in HyperFrames as of today's workspace, synthesized from direct source reads of all 7 packages, 16 skills, and the full registry.
-
-> **How to read this file.** Scan the **Table of Contents** below first. **Do NOT read this file linearly** — it is a 700+ line inventory; reading top-to-bottom every session wastes context. When the storyboard or a specific beat needs a particular capability (HTML-in-Canvas, shader transitions, audio-reactive, dynamic counters, etc.), jump straight to that section.
-
-You are NOT limited to what was captured from the website. You can create shaders from scratch, search for and download registry blocks, build Three.js scenes, write custom WebGL effects, use any web API — anything a browser can render.
-
-For implementation patterns (working code), see `techniques.md`. This file is the WHAT; techniques.md is the HOW.
-
-## Essential Rules
-
-- **Deterministic:** No `Math.random()`, no `Date.now()`, no `requestAnimationFrame`, no `repeat: -1`. The render engine seeks to exact timestamps.
-- **Timeline contract:** `window.__timelines["composition-id"] = tl` must be set synchronously. The timeline length defines the composition duration.
-- **Sub-compositions:** External `.html` files loaded via `data-composition-src`. Auto-nested timelines, scoped CSS, scoped scripts.
-- **Linter:** 60+ rules. Run `npx hyperframes lint` before render. Catches missing timelines, overlapping clips, broken paths, GSAP errors.

-## 1. Composition fundamentals
-
-### Data attributes recognized by the runtime
-
-- **Root composition:** `data-composition-id`, `data-start`, `data-duration`, `data-width`, `data-height`, `data-composition-src` (external sub-comp), `data-composition-duration`, `data-composition-variables` (JSON), `data-variable-values` (override)
-- **Every clip:** `id`, `data-start`, `data-duration`, `data-track-index`, `class="clip"`, optional `data-media-start`, `data-volume`, `data-playback-start`
-- **Sub-composition host:** `data-composition-id`, `data-composition-src` OR inline `<template id="${compId}-template">`
-- **Parser also reads:** `data-type` (composition|text), `data-end`, `data-keyframes` (JSON), `data-x|y|scale|opacity`, `data-color|font-size|font-weight|font-family|text-shadow|outline|highlight*`, `data-layer` (z-index, deprecated for timeline but used for audio mixer layers), `data-resolution`, `data-composition-width|height`
-
-### Timeline contract
-
-- `gsap.timeline({ paused: true })` registered on `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"]`
-- Master clock (TransportClock + WebAudioTransport) drives the timeline via `tl.totalTime(t, false)` or `tl.seek(t, false)`
-- Framework auto-nests sub-comp timelines
-- Duration sourced from `data-duration` on root, not from GSAP length
-- Synchronous timeline construction required (no async/await/setTimeout)
-- Looping handled by `<hyperframes-player>`, not GSAP `repeat: -1`
-
-### Resolution presets
-
-VALID_CANVAS_RESOLUTIONS: 1920×1080 default, 1080×1920 portrait, 1080×1080 square, 4K, 1440×2560, plus `normalizeResolutionFlag` for `--resolution` CLI flag.

-## 2. Animation engines (6 deterministic frame adapters)
-
-The runtime registers these adapters in order; each implements `discover()` / `seek({time})` / `pause` / `play?` / `revert`:
-
-| Adapter                            | What it drives                                                                | How to load                                                     | Notable                                                                                                   |
-| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| GSAP (createGsapAdapter)           | The primary timeline + all tweens registered on `window.__timelines[<id>]`    | CDN `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js` | Plugins via standard GSAP register; HyperFrames does NOT patch THREE.Clock (uses `__hfThreeTime` instead) |
-| Anime.js v4 (createAnimeJsAdapter) | Anime instances pushed to `window.__hfAnime`                                  | CDN `animejs@4.0.2/lib/anime.iife.min.js` or ESM                | Adapter multiplies composition seconds by 1000 for ms                                                     |
-| CSS animations (createCssAdapter)  | Any element with computed `animation-name`                                    | Declarative `@keyframes`                                        | Falls back to negative `animation-delay` when WAAPI unavailable                                           |
-| WAAPI (createWaapiAdapter)         | All Animation objects on document                                             | `element.animate()`                                             | Uses `document.getAnimations()`                                                                           |
-| Lottie (createLottieAdapter)       | `window.__hfLottie` array; supports lottie-web + dotlottie-web                | CDN `lottie.min.js` + `@lottiefiles/dotlottie-web`              | `goToAndStop(time*1000)` or `setCurrentRawFrameValue` / `seek(%)`                                         |
-| Three.js (createThreeAdapter)      | `window.__hfThreeTime` + dispatches `CustomEvent("hf-seek", {detail:{time}})` | ESM CDN `three@0.181.2/+esm`                                    | Composition's render loop listens to `hf-seek`; pattern: `mixer.setTime(time)`                            |
-
-### GSAP plugins (documented patterns)
-
-- **TextPlugin** — text mutation in `tl.call` (skills/gsap/references/effects.md)
-- **MotionPathPlugin** — curve-constrained tweens (skills/hyperframes/references/techniques.md)
-- **CustomEase** — bezier eases imported from Remotion-style timing
-- **ScrollTrigger / Flip / SplitText / Draggable / Inertia / Observer / ScrambleText / CustomWiggle / CustomBounce / ScrollSmoother / GSDevTools** — work natively if loaded and tweens are on the registered paused timeline, but no special HyperFrames adapter
-- Producer injects ScrollTrigger CDN automatically when needed (packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.ts)

-## 3. Shader transitions — @hyperframes/shader-transitions
-
-14 named WebGL fragment shaders. All share the same uniforms: `u_from`, `u_to`, `u_progress`, `u_resolution`, `u_accent`, `u_accent_dark`, `u_accent_bright`.

-## 5. Visual effects + textures
-
-### Marker/emphasis patterns (css-patterns.md)
-
-| Mode      | What it does                      | Implementation                            |
-| --------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
-| highlight | Yellow bar wipes behind text      | CSS bar + GSAP scaleX 0→1                 |
-| circle    | Hand-drawn red ring around word   | CSS border ellipse + back.out scale       |
-| burst     | 12 radial spikes from word center | DOM line array, --len/--angle vars        |
-| scribble  | Wavy underline drawn over time    | SVG `<path>` quadratic + stroke-dash GSAP |
-| sketchout | Cross-hatch x-out over text       | Two 2px rotated lines                     |
-
-### Grain / noise
-
-- **grain-overlay** (registry component): SVG feTurbulence data-URL + CSS keyframe jitter, `steps(1)`, default opacity 0.15
-- **Layered radial-gradient grain** (preferred pattern): no SVG, no canvas-taint, fast everywhere
-
-### Light / film
-
-- Light leak transitions (CSS + shader variants)
-- Overexposure burn — `brightness()` ramp + flash overlay
-- Film burn — multi-layer amber/orange/red radials
-- Vignette — radial-gradient overlay
-- Paper texture (in registry/examples/warm-grain/)
-
-### Glow
-
-- Caption text glow: textShadow radius keyed to treble bands (always on active words only, never parents)
-- Radial glow backgrounds: CSS gradients / blurred blobs
-
----
-
-## 6. Caption techniques
-
-### Animation styles
-
-- Baseline: per-word karaoke highlight (every energy level)
-- Intensity tiers: accent + glow + 15% scale (high energy) → 3% scale (low energy)
-- Exits by energy (dynamic-techniques.md): scatter, drop, collapse, fade+slide, fade
-- Tone mappings (captions.md): scale-pop `back.out(1.7)`, fade+slide `power3.out`, typewriter, bounce, `elastic.out`, word-by-word
-
-### Per-word styling triggers
-
-- Brand/product names
-- ALL CAPS
-- Numbers / stats
-- Emotional keywords
-- CTAs
-- Marker highlight modes (5 listed above)
-
-### Audio sources for caption timing
-
-| Source                                     | Format   | Granularity       |
-| ------------------------------------------ | -------- | ----------------- |
-| hyperframes transcribe (local whisper.cpp) | JSON     | Word-level        |
-| OpenAI verbose_json                        | JSON     | Word-level        |
-| Groq verbose_json                          | JSON     | Word-level        |
-| Manually authored                          | JSON     | Word-level        |
-| SRT                                        | text     | Phrase-level only |
-| VTT                                        | text     | Phrase-level only |
-| hyperframes tts → transcribe chain         | wav→json | Word-level        |
-
-### Positioning helpers
-
-- Landscape: bottom 80–120px centered
-- Portrait: ~600–700px from bottom
-- `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(text, {maxWidth, fontFamily, fontWeight})` for dynamic sizing
-

-
-## 7. Audio-reactive animation
-
-### Data shape
-
-```js
-window.AUDIO_DATA = {
-  fps: 30,
-  totalFrames: 900,
-  frames: [{ bands: [0.42, 0.18, ...] }]  // bands normalized 0–1 per band across track
-};
-```
-
-Index 0 = bass, higher = treble. Bands range 0–1, normalized across full track length.
-
-### Mappings documented
-
-| Band                  | Property                     |
-| --------------------- | ---------------------------- |
-| Bass (bands[0–1])     | scale (pulse)                |
-| Mid (bands[4–8])      | borderRadius, width          |
-| Treble (bands[12–14]) | textShadow, boxShadow (glow) |
-| Overall amplitude     | opacity, y, backgroundColor  |
-
-Any GSAP-tweenable property is fair game — including clipPath, filter, SVG attrs, CSS variables.
-
-### Extraction
-
-```bash
-python3 .../extract-audio-data.py audio.mp3 --fps 30 --bands 8
-```
-
-Pre-extracted only — no Web Audio at render time.
-
-### Banned in audio-reactive
-
-EQ bars, spectrum UI, generic waveforms, note clip-art, generic particles, rainbow cycling, white strobe on beats, abstract pulsing orbs.

-## 8. HTML-in-canvas
-
-Documented in skills/hyperframes/references/html-in-canvas-patterns.md (504 lines).
-
-### Capability
-
-- Chrome's experimental `layoutSubtree` + `drawElementImage` rasterizes live DOM into canvas
-- Feature detection: `isHtmlInCanvasCaptureSupported()`
-- Used by shader-transitions for scene textures
-- Combined with Three.js: `CanvasTexture` + post-processing
-
-### Available patterns
-
-- HTML on a Three.js plane (displacement, distortion, liquid sim)
-- HTML in shaders (texture sampling for VFX)
-- Recursive HTML-in-canvas-in-shader-in-HTML
-
-### Experimental VFX blocks using this
-
-- `vfx-iphone-device` (GLTF iPhone + MacBook, HTML screens)
-- `vfx-liquid-background` (liquid sim displaces HTML)
-- `vfx-liquid-glass`
-- `vfx-magnetic`
-- `vfx-portal`
-- `vfx-shatter`
-- `vfx-text-cursor` (chromatic edges, canvas post)
-

-
-## 9. Three.js / WebGL custom scenes
-
-### Integration pattern
-
-```js
-window.addEventListener("hf-seek", (e) => {
-  const time = e.detail.time;
-  mixer.setTime(time);
-  shaderUniforms.u_time.value = time;
-  renderer.render(scene, camera);
-});
-```
-
-- Load: `import * as THREE from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/+esm"`
-- Deterministic: every frame must derive from `time`, never `requestAnimationFrame` / `Date.now()`
-- Includes: AnimationMixer, custom GLSL shaders, post-processing, GLTF models, lights, cameras, materials

-| Character typing         | `tl.call` text mutation + `steps(1)` cursor blink                                    |
-| Velocity-matched cuts    | Match outgoing blur/translate velocity to incoming for seamless beats                |
-| MotionPathPlugin         | `gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin)` + path string                                |

-## 11. Media: video, audio, TTS
-
-### Video compositing
-
-- `<video muted playsinline data-start="..." data-duration="..." data-track-index="..." src="...">`
-- HyperFrames extracts frames at render via videoFrameInjector (avoids unreliable headless `<video>` playback)
-- Linter forbids `<video>` with audio at the same time — split into separate `<video muted>` + `<audio>`
-- Video frame extraction uses FFmpeg
-- HDR videos: PQ or HLG transfer detection + x265 with mastering metadata
-
-### Audio mixer
-
-- `<audio id="..." data-start="..." data-duration="..." data-volume="0.8" data-track-index="2" src="...">`
-- Multiple tracks mixed with `amix normalize=0` + per-track adelay + volume
-- Master audioGain from EngineConfig
-- Output: AAC 192kbps
-
-### TTS (Kokoro-82M, local)
-
-- 54 bundled voices with prefixes: `a` American EN, `b` British EN, `e` Spanish, `f` French, `h` Hindi, `i` Italian, `j` Japanese, `p` Brazilian Portuguese, `z` Mandarin
-- Default voice: `af_heart`
-- Speed: 0.1–3.0 (default 1.0)
-- Languages: en-us, en-gb, es, fr-fr, hi, it, pt-br, ja, zh (non-EN needs system espeak-ng)
-- Output: WAV; no pitch/volume CLI flags
-- No API key required
-
-### Transcription
-
-- Whisper.cpp models: tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3, small.en, medium.en (default small)
-- Groq API: whisper-large-v3 with word granularities
-- OpenAI API: whisper-1 verbose_json
-- Imports: SRT, VTT, JSON formats
-- Quality gates: music-token detection, garbage cleaning, retry with medium.en
-
-### Background removal
-
-- u2net ONNX models
-- Devices: auto / cpu / coreml / cuda
-- Quality presets: fast / balanced / best
-- Outputs: transparent WebM, ProRes MOV, PNG sequence
-- Optional dual output (foreground + extracted background)

-Plus async URL checks (`lintMediaUrls`, `lintScriptUrls` — HEAD probes).
-
-`validateCompositionGsap` also forbids: `Math.random`, `Date.now`, `new Date`, `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `requestAnimationFrame`, `repeat: -1`.
-
-**Note:** `onUpdate` callbacks, `tl.call()`, and GSAP event callbacks (`onComplete`, `onStart`, etc.) are NOT banned by the linter — they are required for canvas/WebGL rendering and character-by-character typing patterns. The linter only catches the determinism violations listed above.

-## 15. Player — `<hyperframes-player>` web component
-
-### Attributes
-
-`src`, `srcdoc`, `width`, `height`, `controls`, `muted`, `volume`, `poster`, `playback-rate`, `audio-src`, `shader-capture-scale`, `shader-loading` (internal|player|none), `loop`, `autoplay`, `speed-presets`
-
-### Public API
-
-`seek(t)` (synchronous when same-origin — uses `iframe.contentWindow.__player.seek` directly), `play()`, `pause()`, `currentTime`, `duration`, `paused`, `ready`, `playbackRate`, `iframeElement`
-
-### Events
-
-`ready`, `timeupdate`, `play`, `pause`, `ended`, `volumechange`, `ratechange`, `shadertransitionstate`, `playbackerror`, `error`, `audioownershipchange`
-
-### Media mirror
-
-Parent audio/video elements with `data-start` are proxied; `_mirrorParentMediaTime` corrects drift; `_audioOwner` promotes to parent if autoplay blocked.
-
-### Runtime auto-inject
-
-Loads `RUNTIME_CDN_URL` (`@hyperframes/core/dist/hyperframe.runtime.iife.js`) if missing `__hf`/`__player` but timelines exist.

-## 16. Engine + Producer — rendering pipeline
-
-### Output formats
-
-mp4, webm, mov, png-sequence — with HDR (PQ / HLG / SDR / auto-detect), transparency (ProRes MOV / WebM / PNG), or standard 8-bit SDR
-
-### Encoding controls
-
-- `--fps`: 24 / 30 / 60
-- `--quality`: draft / standard / high
-- `--crf`: integer (mutually exclusive with `--video-bitrate`)
-- `--video-bitrate`: e.g. `8M`
-- `--gpu`: NVENC, VideoToolbox, VAAPI, QSV
-- `--browser-gpu`: auto / software / hardware
-- `--workers`: parallel render workers
-- `--max-concurrent-renders`: 1–10 (sets `PRODUCER_MAX_CONCURRENT_RENDERS`)
-- `--resolution`: preset (1080p, 4k, portrait, etc.)
-- `--docker`: render inside Dockerfile.test image (reproducibility)
-- `--hdr` / `--sdr`: force HDR or SDR pipeline
-
-### Engine subsystems
-
-- Frame capture: BeginFrame on Linux headless-shell (fast, no alpha) or `Page.captureScreenshot` (alpha + supersample)
-- Video frame injector: pre-extracts video to images, swaps `<video>` for `<img>` during capture (LRU cache by path + byte budget)
-- Audio mixer: FFmpeg-based; per-track delay, volume, master gain, AAC 192k output
-- Chunk encoder: H.264 / H.265 / VP9 / ProRes presets with optional GPU
-- Streaming encoder: `streamingEncodeMaxDurationSeconds` for long renders
-- HDR compositing: `rgba16float` WebGPU readback (headed Chrome), PQ OETF helpers
-- Layer compositor: groups DOM by z-order; splits HDR elements into separate layers
-- Alpha blit: matrix3d affine extraction, `blitRgba8OverRgb48le`, `blitRgb48leAffine`
-- Parallel coordinator: concurrency, coresPerWorker, minParallelFrames, largeRenderThreshold
-- Browser pool: optional with timeout configs
-
-### Producer-only
-
-- `RenderConfig` with `hdrMode` (auto / force-hdr / force-sdr), `outputResolution` mapped to `deviceScaleFactor`
-- File server injects `HF_EARLY_STUB`, `HF_BRIDGE_SCRIPT`, virtual-time so `window.__hf` bridges `window.__player.renderSeek`
-- HDR-aware shader transition compositing via `window.__hf.transitions` metadata
-
----
-
-## 17. Studio — in-browser NLE
-
-Full editor in packages/studio/:
-
-- **NLELayout**: NLE preview + timeline + controls
-- **Timeline**: clip rendering, drag to move (`data-start`), resize (`data-duration`), `data-track-index` reassignment, asset drop, file drop
-- **PlayerControls**: scrub, play, pause, frame step (`stepFrameTime`), `STUDIO_PREVIEW_FPS`
-- **useTimelinePlayer**: resolves `__player` / `__timeline` / `__timelines`
-- **LeftSidebar**: compositions list, asset browser
-- **RenderQueue + useRenderQueue**: queue multiple renders
-- **LintModal**: in-app lint output
-- **MediaPreview + AudioWaveform**: waveform rendering
-- **CaptionOverlay, CaptionTimeline, CaptionPropertyPanel**: caption editor
-- **useCaptionSync**: word-level sync
-- **useElementPicker**: click-to-inspect picker mode
-- Built with Tailwind v3 (separate from Tailwind v4 browser runtime used by compositions).
-
----
-
-## 18. Determinism guarantees
-
-- No `Math.random()` (use seeded PRNGs; mulberry32 is the pattern in skills)
-- No `Date.now()` / `new Date()`
-- No `setTimeout` / `setInterval` in timeline construction
-- No `requestAnimationFrame` (timeline-driven; engine seeks per frame)
-- No `repeat: -1` (calculate exact repeats: `Math.ceil(duration / cycleDuration) - 1`)
-- No `onComplete`/`onStart`/`onRepeat` callbacks (engine doesn't fire them). **Exception:** `onUpdate` and `tl.call()` ARE supported — they're required for canvas/WebGL rendering, character-by-character typing, and counter patterns. See §10 (Canvas 2D procedural art) for the documented pattern.
-- No `gsap.set` on clips from later scenes (use `tl.set(selector, vars, position)`)
-- Synchronous timeline construction (no async)
-- Master clock can clamp at composition end
-

-
-## 19. Variables / parameterization
-
-Compositions support typed runtime variables:
-
-```html
-<html
-  data-composition-variables='[
-  {"name":"brand","type":"string","default":"Stripe"},
-  {"name":"primary","type":"color","default":"#635BFF"},
-  {"name":"duration","type":"number","default":15},
-  {"name":"darkMode","type":"boolean","default":false},
-  {"name":"layout","type":"enum","options":["hero","split","stacked"]}
-]'
-></html>
-```
-
-Access via `window.__hyperframes.getVariables()`. Override at render time:
-
-```bash
-npx hyperframes render --variables '{"brand":"Linear","primary":"#5E6AD2"}'
-npx hyperframes render --variables-file vars.json
-npx hyperframes render --strict-variables  # error if unused / mismatched
-```
-
-`validateVariables()` checks values against declarations at the CLI/tooling boundary.
-
----
-
-## 20. Sub-compositions
-
-Two loading mechanisms:
-
-- **External file:** `data-composition-src="compositions/act-1.html"` — fetched at runtime
-- **Inline template:** `<template id="<id>-template">` — extracted by `loadInlineTemplateCompositions`
-
-Each sub-comp:
-
-- Has its own `data-composition-id`
-- Has its own `window.__timelines[<id>]`
-- Auto-nested into the root timeline
-- Scoped CSS via `scopeCssToComposition` (`[data-composition-id="<id>"]` selector)
-- Wrapped scripts via `wrapScopedCompositionScript`
-- Reads `data-variable-values` merged with own defaults into `window.__hfVariablesByComp[<id>]`
-- External scripts load with `EXTERNAL_SCRIPT_LOAD_TIMEOUT_MS` timeout. Failed loads emit `external_composition_load_failed` / `external_composition_script_load_issue` diagnostics.

-- text-effects.md — 24 named text animation effects (per-character, per-word, per-line, whole) — vocabulary reference for the separate `pixel-point/animate-text` skill (load it via `npx skills add pixel-point/animate-text` or `/animate-text`). Specs live in that upstream skill, not in this repo.
-- transitions.md + transitions/catalog.md + 14 category subfiles
-- css-patterns.md (marker patterns)
-- dynamic-techniques.md (caption animation)
-- motion-principles.md (easing as emotion, choreography)
-- typography.md (banned-font list, pairing rules, variable fonts)

-- captions.md (caption authoring contract)
-- audio-reactive.md (band mappings + extraction)
-- transcript-guide.md (whisper, Groq, OpenAI workflows)
-- techniques.md (the big technique catalog — SVG, canvas 2D, 3D, kinetic, lottie, variable fonts, MotionPath, audio-reactive)
-- beat-direction.md, design-picker.md, prompt-expansion.md, video-composition.md

+# HyperFrames — Complete Capabilities Inventory
+
+Everything possible in HyperFrames as of today's workspace, synthesized from direct source reads of all 7 packages, 16 skills, and the full registry.
+
+> **How to read this file.** Scan the **Table of Contents** below first. **Do NOT read this file linearly** — it is a 700+ line inventory; reading top-to-bottom every session wastes context. When the storyboard or a specific beat needs a particular capability (HTML-in-Canvas, shader transitions, audio-reactive, dynamic counters, etc.), jump straight to that section.
+
+You are NOT limited to what was captured from the website. You can create shaders from scratch, search for and download registry blocks, build Three.js scenes, write custom WebGL effects, use any web API — anything a browser can render.
+
+For implementation patterns (working code), see `techniques.md`. This file is the WHAT; techniques.md is the HOW.
+
+## Essential Rules
+
+- **Deterministic:** No `Math.random()`, no `Date.now()`, no `requestAnimationFrame`, no `repeat: -1`. The render engine seeks to exact timestamps.
+- **Timeline contract:** `window.__timelines["composition-id"] = tl` must be set synchronously. The timeline length defines the composition duration.
+- **Sub-compositions:** External `.html` files loaded via `data-composition-src`. Auto-nested timelines, scoped CSS, scoped scripts.
+- **Linter:** 60+ rules. Run `npx hyperframes lint` before render. Catches missing timelines, overlapping clips, broken paths, GSAP errors.

+## 1. Composition fundamentals
+
+### Data attributes recognized by the runtime
+
+- **Root composition:** `data-composition-id`, `data-start`, `data-duration`, `data-width`, `data-height`, `data-composition-src` (external sub-comp), `data-composition-duration`, `data-composition-variables` (JSON), `data-variable-values` (override)
+- **Every clip:** `id`, `data-start`, `data-duration`, `data-track-index`, `class="clip"`, optional `data-media-start`, `data-volume`, `data-playback-start`
+- **Sub-composition host:** `data-composition-id`, `data-composition-src` OR inline `<template id="${compId}-template">`
+- **Parser also reads:** `data-type` (composition|text), `data-end`, `data-keyframes` (JSON), `data-x|y|scale|opacity`, `data-color|font-size|font-weight|font-family|text-shadow|outline|highlight*`, `data-layer` (z-index, deprecated for timeline but used for audio mixer layers), `data-resolution`, `data-composition-width|height`
+
+### Timeline contract
+
+- `gsap.timeline({ paused: true })` registered on `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"]`
+- Master clock (TransportClock + WebAudioTransport) drives the timeline via `tl.totalTime(t, false)` or `tl.seek(t, false)`
+- Framework auto-nests sub-comp timelines
+- Duration sourced from `data-duration` on root, not from GSAP length
+- Synchronous timeline construction required (no async/await/setTimeout)
+- Looping handled by `<hyperframes-player>`, not GSAP `repeat: -1`
+
+### Resolution presets
+
+VALID_CANVAS_RESOLUTIONS: 1920×1080 default, 1080×1920 portrait, 1080×1080 square, 4K, 1440×2560, plus `normalizeResolutionFlag` for `--resolution` CLI flag.
+

+
+## 2. Animation engines (6 deterministic frame adapters)
+
+The runtime registers these adapters in order; each implements `discover()` / `seek({time})` / `pause` / `play?` / `revert`:
+
+| Adapter                            | What it drives                                                                | How to load                                                     | Notable                                                                                                   |

+| GSAP (createGsapAdapter)           | The primary timeline + all tweens registered on `window.__timelines[<id>]`    | CDN `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js` | Plugins via standard GSAP register; HyperFrames does NOT patch THREE.Clock (uses `__hfThreeTime` instead) |
+| Anime.js v4 (createAnimeJsAdapter) | Anime instances pushed to `window.__hfAnime`                                  | CDN `animejs@4.0.2/lib/anime.iife.min.js` or ESM                | Adapter multiplies composition seconds by 1000 for ms                                                     |
+| CSS animations (createCssAdapter)  | Any element with computed `animation-name`                                    | Declarative `@keyframes`                                        | Falls back to negative `animation-delay` when WAAPI unavailable                                           |
+| WAAPI (createWaapiAdapter)         | All Animation objects on document                                             | `element.animate()`                                             | Uses `document.getAnimations()`                                                                           |
+| Lottie (createLottieAdapter)       | `window.__hfLottie` array; supports lottie-web + dotlottie-web                | CDN `lottie.min.js` + `@lottiefiles/dotlottie-web`              | `goToAndStop(time*1000)` or `setCurrentRawFrameValue` / `seek(%)`                                         |
+| Three.js (createThreeAdapter)      | `window.__hfThreeTime` + dispatches `CustomEvent("hf-seek", {detail:{time}})` | ESM CDN `three@0.181.2/+esm`                                    | Composition's render loop listens to `hf-seek`; pattern: `mixer.setTime(time)`                            |
+
+### GSAP plugins (documented patterns)
+
+- **TextPlugin** — text mutation in `tl.call` (skills/gsap/references/effects.md)
+- **MotionPathPlugin** — curve-constrained tweens (skills/hyperframes/references/techniques.md)
+- **CustomEase** — bezier eases imported from Remotion-style timing
+- **ScrollTrigger / Flip / SplitText / Draggable / Inertia / Observer / ScrambleText / CustomWiggle / CustomBounce / ScrollSmoother / GSDevTools** — work natively if loaded and tweens are on the registered paused timeline, but no special HyperFrames adapter
+- Producer injects ScrollTrigger CDN automatically when needed (packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.ts)

+## 3. Shader transitions — @hyperframes/shader-transitions
+
+14 named WebGL fragment shaders. All share the same uniforms: `u_from`, `u_to`, `u_progress`, `u_resolution`, `u_accent`, `u_accent_dark`, `u_accent_bright`.
+
+### The 14 shaders

+- Capability probe: `isHtmlInCanvasCaptureSupported()` (Chrome layoutSubtree/drawElementImage)
+- Tuning: `?__hf_shader_capture_scale=` (0.25–1), `?__hf_shader_loading=` (internal|player|none)
+- Cache: IndexedDB for PNG snapshots; max 2 textured transitions live at once
+- Fallback (`applyFallbackTransition`): smoothstep opacity tween when capture / texImage2D fails
+- Engine mode skips GL/capture when `window.__HF_VIRTUAL_TIME__` set (producer uses metadata)
+
+You can also **write custom GLSL shaders from scratch** — any fragment shader works with the standard uniforms.

+## 5. Visual effects + textures
+
+### Marker/emphasis patterns (css-patterns.md)
+
+| Mode      | What it does                      | Implementation                            |
+| --------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| highlight | Yellow bar wipes behind text      | CSS bar + GSAP scaleX 0→1                 |
+| circle    | Hand-drawn red ring around word   | CSS border ellipse + back.out scale       |
+| burst     | 12 radial spikes from word center | DOM line array, --len/--angle vars        |
+| scribble  | Wavy underline drawn over time    | SVG `<path>` quadratic + stroke-dash GSAP |
+| sketchout | Cross-hatch x-out over text       | Two 2px rotated lines                     |
+
+### Grain / noise
+
+- **grain-overlay** (registry component): SVG feTurbulence data-URL + CSS keyframe jitter, `steps(1)`, default opacity 0.15
+- **Layered radial-gradient grain** (preferred pattern): no SVG, no canvas-taint, fast everywhere
+
+### Light / film
+
+- Light leak transitions (CSS + shader variants)
+- Overexposure burn — `brightness()` ramp + flash overlay
+- Film burn — multi-layer amber/orange/red radials
+- Vignette — radial-gradient overlay
+- Paper texture (in registry/examples/warm-grain/)
+
+### Glow
+
+- Caption text glow: textShadow radius keyed to treble bands (always on active words only, never parents)
+- Radial glow backgrounds: CSS gradients / blurred blobs
+
+---
+
+## 6. Caption techniques
+
+### Animation styles
+
+- Baseline: per-word karaoke highlight (every energy level)
+- Intensity tiers: accent + glow + 15% scale (high energy) → 3% scale (low energy)
+- Exits by energy (dynamic-techniques.md): scatter, drop, collapse, fade+slide, fade
+- Tone mappings (captions.md): scale-pop `back.out(1.7)`, fade+slide `power3.out`, typewriter, bounce, `elastic.out`, word-by-word
+
+### Per-word styling triggers
+
+- Brand/product names
+- ALL CAPS
+- Numbers / stats
+- Emotional keywords
+- CTAs
+- Marker highlight modes (5 listed above)
+
+### Audio sources for caption timing
+
+| Source                                     | Format   | Granularity       |
+| ------------------------------------------ | -------- | ----------------- |
+| hyperframes transcribe (local whisper.cpp) | JSON     | Word-level        |
+| OpenAI verbose_json                        | JSON     | Word-level        |
+| Groq verbose_json                          | JSON     | Word-level        |
+| Manually authored                          | JSON     | Word-level        |
+| SRT                                        | text     | Phrase-level only |
+| VTT                                        | text     | Phrase-level only |
+| hyperframes tts → transcribe chain         | wav→json | Word-level        |
+
+### Positioning helpers
+
+- Landscape: bottom 80–120px centered
+- Portrait: ~600–700px from bottom
+- `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(text, {maxWidth, fontFamily, fontWeight})` for dynamic sizing
+
+---
+
+## 7. Audio-reactive animation
+
+### Data shape
+
+```js
+window.AUDIO_DATA = {
+  fps: 30,
+  totalFrames: 900,
+  frames: [{ bands: [0.42, 0.18, ...] }]  // bands normalized 0–1 per band across track
+};
+```
+
+Index 0 = bass, higher = treble. Bands range 0–1, normalized across full track length.
+
+### Mappings documented
+
+| Band                  | Property                     |
+| --------------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| Bass (bands[0–1])     | scale (pulse)                |
+| Mid (bands[4–8])      | borderRadius, width          |
+| Treble (bands[12–14]) | textShadow, boxShadow (glow) |
+| Overall amplitude     | opacity, y, backgroundColor  |
+
+Any GSAP-tweenable property is fair game — including clipPath, filter, SVG attrs, CSS variables.
+
+### Extraction
+
+```bash
+python3 .../extract-audio-data.py audio.mp3 --fps 30 --bands 8
+```
+
+Pre-extracted only — no Web Audio at render time.
+
+### Banned in audio-reactive
+
+EQ bars, spectrum UI, generic waveforms, note clip-art, generic particles, rainbow cycling, white strobe on beats, abstract pulsing orbs.
+
+---
+
+## 8. HTML-in-canvas
+
+Documented in skills/hyperframes/references/html-in-canvas-patterns.md (504 lines).
+
+### Capability
+
+- Chrome's experimental `layoutSubtree` + `drawElementImage` rasterizes live DOM into canvas
+- Feature detection: `isHtmlInCanvasCaptureSupported()`
+- Used by shader-transitions for scene textures
+- Combined with Three.js: `CanvasTexture` + post-processing
+
+### Available patterns
+
+- HTML on a Three.js plane (displacement, distortion, liquid sim)
+- HTML in shaders (texture sampling for VFX)
+- Recursive HTML-in-canvas-in-shader-in-HTML
+
+### Experimental VFX blocks using this
+
+- `vfx-iphone-device` (GLTF iPhone + MacBook, HTML screens)
+- `vfx-liquid-background` (liquid sim displaces HTML)
+- `vfx-liquid-glass`
+- `vfx-magnetic`
+- `vfx-portal`
+- `vfx-shatter`
+- `vfx-text-cursor` (chromatic edges, canvas post)
+
+---
+
+## 9. Three.js / WebGL custom scenes
+
+### Integration pattern
+
+```js
+window.addEventListener("hf-seek", (e) => {
+  const time = e.detail.time;
+  mixer.setTime(time);
+  shaderUniforms.u_time.value = time;
+  renderer.render(scene, camera);
+});
+```
+
+- Load: `import * as THREE from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@0.181.2/+esm"`
+- Deterministic: every frame must derive from `time`, never `requestAnimationFrame` / `Date.now()`
+- Includes: AnimationMixer, custom GLSL shaders, post-processing, GLTF models, lights, cameras, materials

+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| SVG path drawing         | `strokeDasharray` + `getTotalLength()` + GSAP stroke offset                          |
+| Canvas 2D procedural art | Seeded hash function + `tl.to` proxy `{time}` onUpdate                               |
+| CSS 3D card              | GSAP `rotationY` + `perspective: 900`                                                |
+| Per-word kinetic type    | GSAP timings array, sliding decay                                                    |
+| Variable font axes       | Animate CSS vars → `font-variation-settings: "opsz" var(--opsz), "wght" var(--wght)` |
+| Character typing         | `tl.call` text mutation + `steps(1)` cursor blink                                    |
+| Velocity-matched cuts    | Match outgoing blur/translate velocity to incoming for seamless beats                |
+| MotionPathPlugin         | `gsap.registerPlugin(MotionPathPlugin)` + path string                                |

+
+## 11. Media: video, audio, TTS
+
+### Video compositing
+
+- `<video muted playsinline data-start="..." data-duration="..." data-track-index="..." src="...">`
+- HyperFrames extracts frames at render via videoFrameInjector (avoids unreliable headless `<video>` playback)
+- Linter forbids `<video>` with audio at the same time — split into separate `<video muted>` + `<audio>`
+- Video frame extraction uses FFmpeg
+- HDR videos: PQ or HLG transfer detection + x265 with mastering metadata
+
+### Audio mixer
+
+- `<audio id="..." data-start="..." data-duration="..." data-volume="0.8" data-track-index="2" src="...">`
+- Multiple tracks mixed with `amix normalize=0` + per-track adelay + volume
+- Master audioGain from EngineConfig
+- Output: AAC 192kbps
+
+### TTS (Kokoro-82M, local)
+
+- 54 bundled voices with prefixes: `a` American EN, `b` British EN, `e` Spanish, `f` French, `h` Hindi, `i` Italian, `j` Japanese, `p` Brazilian Portuguese, `z` Mandarin
+- Default voice: `af_heart`
+- Speed: 0.1–3.0 (default 1.0)
+- Languages: en-us, en-gb, es, fr-fr, hi, it, pt-br, ja, zh (non-EN needs system espeak-ng)
+- Output: WAV; no pitch/volume CLI flags
+- No API key required
+
+### Transcription
+
+- Whisper.cpp models: tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3, small.en, medium.en (default small)
+- Groq API: whisper-large-v3 with word granularities
+- OpenAI API: whisper-1 verbose_json
+- Imports: SRT, VTT, JSON formats
+- Quality gates: music-token detection, garbage cleaning, retry with medium.en
+
+### Background removal
+
+- u2net ONNX models
+- Devices: auto / cpu / coreml / cuda
+- Quality presets: fast / balanced / best
+- Outputs: transparent WebM, ProRes MOV, PNG sequence
+- Optional dual output (foreground + extracted background)

+Plus async URL checks (`lintMediaUrls`, `lintScriptUrls` — HEAD probes).
+
+`validateCompositionGsap` also forbids: `Math.random`, `Date.now`, `new Date`, `setTimeout`, `setInterval`, `requestAnimationFrame`, `repeat: -1`.
+
+**Note:** `onUpdate` callbacks, `tl.call()`, and GSAP event callbacks (`onComplete`, `onStart`, etc.) are NOT banned by the linter — they are required for canvas/WebGL rendering and character-by-character typing patterns. The linter only catches the determinism violations listed above.

+`seek(t)` (synchronous when same-origin — uses `iframe.contentWindow.__player.seek` directly), `play()`, `pause()`, `currentTime`, `duration`, `paused`, `ready`, `playbackRate`, `iframeElement`
+
+### Events
+
+`ready`, `timeupdate`, `play`, `pause`, `ended`, `volumechange`, `ratechange`, `shadertransitionstate`, `playbackerror`, `error`, `audioownershipchange`
+
+### Media mirror
+
+Parent audio/video elements with `data-start` are proxied; `_mirrorParentMediaTime` corrects drift; `_audioOwner` promotes to parent if autoplay blocked.
+
+### Runtime auto-inject
+
+Loads `RUNTIME_CDN_URL` (`@hyperframes/core/dist/hyperframe.runtime.iife.js`) if missing `__hf`/`__player` but timelines exist.

+
+## 16. Engine + Producer — rendering pipeline
+
+### Output formats
+
+mp4, webm, mov, png-sequence — with HDR (PQ / HLG / SDR / auto-detect), transparency (ProRes MOV / WebM / PNG), or standard 8-bit SDR
+
+### Encoding controls
+
+- `--fps`: 24 / 30 / 60
+- `--quality`: draft / standard / high
+- `--crf`: integer (mutually exclusive with `--video-bitrate`)
+- `--video-bitrate`: e.g. `8M`
+- `--gpu`: NVENC, VideoToolbox, VAAPI, QSV
+- `--browser-gpu`: auto / software / hardware
+- `--workers`: parallel render workers
+- `--max-concurrent-renders`: 1–10 (sets `PRODUCER_MAX_CONCURRENT_RENDERS`)
+- `--resolution`: preset (1080p, 4k, portrait, etc.)
+- `--docker`: render inside Dockerfile.test image (reproducibility)
+- `--hdr` / `--sdr`: force HDR or SDR pipeline
+
+### Engine subsystems
+
+- Frame capture: BeginFrame on Linux headless-shell (fast, no alpha) or `Page.captureScreenshot` (alpha + supersample)
+- Video frame injector: pre-extracts video to images, swaps `<video>` for `<img>` during capture (LRU cache by path + byte budget)
+- Audio mixer: FFmpeg-based; per-track delay, volume, master gain, AAC 192k output
+- Chunk encoder: H.264 / H.265 / VP9 / ProRes presets with optional GPU
+- Streaming encoder: `streamingEncodeMaxDurationSeconds` for long renders
+- HDR compositing: `rgba16float` WebGPU readback (headed Chrome), PQ OETF helpers
+- Layer compositor: groups DOM by z-order; splits HDR elements into separate layers
+- Alpha blit: matrix3d affine extraction, `blitRgba8OverRgb48le`, `blitRgb48leAffine`
+- Parallel coordinator: concurrency, coresPerWorker, minParallelFrames, largeRenderThreshold
+- Browser pool: optional with timeout configs
+
+### Producer-only
+
+- `RenderConfig` with `hdrMode` (auto / force-hdr / force-sdr), `outputResolution` mapped to `deviceScaleFactor`
+- File server injects `HF_EARLY_STUB`, `HF_BRIDGE_SCRIPT`, virtual-time so `window.__hf` bridges `window.__player.renderSeek`
+- HDR-aware shader transition compositing via `window.__hf.transitions` metadata
+
+---
+
+## 17. Studio — in-browser NLE
+
+Full editor in packages/studio/:
+
+- **NLELayout**: NLE preview + timeline + controls
+- **Timeline**: clip rendering, drag to move (`data-start`), resize (`data-duration`), `data-track-index` reassignment, asset drop, file drop
+- **PlayerControls**: scrub, play, pause, frame step (`stepFrameTime`), `STUDIO_PREVIEW_FPS`
+- **useTimelinePlayer**: resolves `__player` / `__timeline` / `__timelines`
+- **LeftSidebar**: compositions list, asset browser
+- **RenderQueue + useRenderQueue**: queue multiple renders
+- **LintModal**: in-app lint output
+- **MediaPreview + AudioWaveform**: waveform rendering
+- **CaptionOverlay, CaptionTimeline, CaptionPropertyPanel**: caption editor
+- **useCaptionSync**: word-level sync
+- **useElementPicker**: click-to-inspect picker mode
+- Built with Tailwind v3 (separate from Tailwind v4 browser runtime used by compositions).
+
+---
+
+## 18. Determinism guarantees
+
+- No `Math.random()` (use seeded PRNGs; mulberry32 is the pattern in skills)
+- No `Date.now()` / `new Date()`
+- No `setTimeout` / `setInterval` in timeline construction
+- No `requestAnimationFrame` (timeline-driven; engine seeks per frame)
+- No `repeat: -1` (calculate exact repeats: `Math.ceil(duration / cycleDuration) - 1`)
+- No `onComplete`/`onStart`/`onRepeat` callbacks (engine doesn't fire them). **Exception:** `onUpdate` and `tl.call()` ARE supported — they're required for canvas/WebGL rendering, character-by-character typing, and counter patterns. See §10 (Canvas 2D procedural art) for the documented pattern.
+- No `gsap.set` on clips from later scenes (use `tl.set(selector, vars, position)`)
+- Synchronous timeline construction (no async)
+- Master clock can clamp at composition end
+
+---
+
+## 19. Variables / parameterization
+
+Compositions support typed runtime variables:
+
+```html
+<html
+  data-composition-variables='[
+  {"name":"brand","type":"string","default":"Stripe"},
+  {"name":"primary","type":"color","default":"#635BFF"},
+  {"name":"duration","type":"number","default":15},
+  {"name":"darkMode","type":"boolean","default":false},
+  {"name":"layout","type":"enum","options":["hero","split","stacked"]}
+]'
+></html>
+```
+
+Access via `window.__hyperframes.getVariables()`. Override at render time:
+
+```bash
+npx hyperframes render --variables '{"brand":"Linear","primary":"#5E6AD2"}'
+npx hyperframes render --variables-file vars.json
+npx hyperframes render --strict-variables  # error if unused / mismatched
+```
+
+`validateVariables()` checks values against declarations at the CLI/tooling boundary.
+
+---
+
+## 20. Sub-compositions
+
+Two loading mechanisms:
+
+- **External file:** `data-composition-src="compositions/act-1.html"` — fetched at runtime
+- **Inline template:** `<template id="<id>-template">` — extracted by `loadInlineTemplateCompositions`
+
+Each sub-comp:
+
+- Has its own `data-composition-id`
+- Has its own `window.__timelines[<id>]`
+- Auto-nested into the root timeline
+- Scoped CSS via `scopeCssToComposition` (`[data-composition-id="<id>"]` selector)
+- Wrapped scripts via `wrapScopedCompositionScript`
+- Reads `data-variable-values` merged with own defaults into `window.__hfVariablesByComp[<id>]`
+- External scripts load with `EXTERNAL_SCRIPT_LOAD_TIMEOUT_MS` timeout. Failed loads emit `external_composition_load_failed` / `external_composition_script_load_issue` diagnostics.

+- transitions.md + transitions/catalog.md + 14 category subfiles
+- css-patterns.md (marker patterns)
+- dynamic-techniques.md (caption animation)
+- motion-principles.md (easing as emotion, choreography)
+- typography.md (banned-font list, pairing rules, variable fonts)

+- captions.md (caption authoring contract)
+- audio-reactive.md (band mappings + extraction)
+- transcript-guide.md (whisper, Groq, OpenAI workflows)
+- techniques.md (the big technique catalog — SVG, canvas 2D, 3D, kinetic, lottie, variable fonts, MotionPath, audio-reactive)
+- beat-direction.md, design-picker.md, prompt-expansion.md, video-composition.md
+- visual-styles.md (8 named visual styles: Swiss Pulse, Velvet Standard, Deconstructed, Maximalist Type, Data Drift, Soft Signal, Folk Frequency, Shadow Cut — available via the `visual-style` skill)
