v0.7.83

HyperFrames v0.7.83

Released on 2026-07-30.

Lays the measurement groundwork for opening the drawElement fast path to short compositions: renders now report their live DOM element count and whether the short-comp routing band would apply, while routing itself stays unchanged behind a default-off flag. Also carries a batch of Windows and browser-resolution fixes, audio-mix corrections, and transparent GIF output.

Features

• Producer: Surface init telemetry from parallel workers — the band's missing motion axis (23854f7c6)
• Producer: Open the DE single-worker inversion to short comps under an element ceiling (0749cd9ff)
• CLI: Roll circuit-breaker state over across config wipes (dfe92b2aa)

HyperFrames v0.7.82

Released on 2026-07-29.

Studio exports now preserve the selected orientation-aware resolution, including 4K, instead of
silently falling back to the composition's native canvas size. Browser startup also honors
explicit HyperFrames browser-path environment overrides and retries transient launch failures
without hanging preview requests.

Fixes

• Studio: Honor selected render resolution (f1655b930, #2876)

HyperFrames v0.7.81

Released on 2026-07-29.

HyperFrames now retries transient Google Fonts CSS and font-file failures during distributed
planning without misclassifying them as deterministic project errors. Retries remain tightly
bounded, respect cancellation and Retry-After within a shared budget, and surface exhaustion
as FONT_FETCH_UNAVAILABLE for orchestration-level recovery.

Fixes

• Producer: Retry transient deterministic font fetches (20f4f8f49, #2865)

v0.7.80

HyperFrames v0.7.80

Released on 2026-07-29.

HyperFrames now renders scene-local video timing correctly across sequential nested templates
and removes vulnerable runtime dependency paths. Studio also gains exact bulk easing for
merged keyframes, atomic keyframe-cache refreshes, and smoother optimistic ease-mode changes.

Features

v0.7.79

HyperFrames v0.7.79

Released on 2026-07-28.

Studio editing is now more exact and predictable: timeline, motion-path, and playhead
keyframe operations stay scoped to the intended element; nested-composition timing
preserves its host rows; and color, shortcuts, ruler, and accessibility interactions
are more reliable. This release also adds a narrow caption-zone layout waiver, makes
CLI telemetry opt-out durable, and recognizes the renamed Codex image-generation
feature flag.

Features

Fixes

• Media Use: Accept renamed codex image_generation feature flag (02c57609a)
• Studio: Give the motion path and the fallbacks a one-element target (1f3fd2800)
• Studio: Author every new tween against one element (3d9243606)
• Studio: Scope lane ids per timeline and stop inventing a track row (ba0d6406d)
• Studio: Never re-author a target the DOM proved is not unique (f04cdb79c)

v0.7.78

HyperFrames v0.7.78

Released on 2026-07-28.

Windows renders on a hardware GPU now use drawElement fast capture, which was previously macOS-only — roughly 2× faster capture on the same safety net (per-frame self-verification with automatic screenshot fallback), covering about 78% of Windows renders. Render telemetry also gains GPU-backend and laptop power-state fields so performance can be diagnosed per machine rather than per platform.

Features

• Engine: drawElement fast capture now runs on Windows with a hardware GPU (previously macOS-only); Linux/software-GPU hosts are unchanged (cb30157eb)
• Producer: The parallel-drawElement router (still opt-in via HF_DE_PARALLEL_ROUTER) now engages from 700 frames instead of 2000, and renders report on_battery / low_power_mode (3da31e399)

Fixes

• CLI: Persist authoring skill in hyperframes.json for durable render attribution (d287e5244, #2762)
• Producer: Installs with telemetry disabled no longer spawn pmset while building render events, and the parallel-drawElement router no longer pins a worker count on renders where its streaming path can't run (compositions over the streaming duration cap) (b99c80389)
• Engine: gpu_renderer telemetry reports a low-cardinality backend/vendor bucket rather than the raw driver string, and is attached to failed renders as well as successful ones (4520cd240)
• Producer: Validate distributed video metadata (557d82b6a, #2839)
• Studio: Harden preview recovery (c62bd4c45)
• Studio: Improve preview loading reliability (18b9acac1)

• Refine media treatment guides (182862773)
• Document professional grading and media treatments (1a2c30a79)

Catalog

• Registry: Register device timeline synchronously (2bb620517, #2546)

v0.7.77

HyperFrames v0.7.77

Released on 2026-07-28.

Studio's timeline now exposes expandable property lanes, track headers, precise
keyframe retiming, and selection-safe editing across nested compositions. This
release also makes stalled CLI download cleanup reliable on Windows and adds an
opt-in prose-coverage floor to layout checks.

Features

• Studio: Add expanded keyframe lanes, track headers, retiming interactions,
  and nested-composition timeline support
  (#2791)
• Check: Add the opt-in proseCoverageFloor layout rule
  (#2834)

Fixes

• CLI: Wait for stalled download pipelines to release temporary files before
  cleanup, fixing the Windows locked-file failure
  (#2835)
• Telemetry: Send CLI feedback through the plain-event path instead of the
  PostHog survey API
  (#2831)

Performance

• CI: Distribute the two heaviest render fixtures and improve Docker layer
  reuse for producer-only changes
  (#2825,
  #2822)

Docs & Examples

• Send-to guide: Clarify that enhance turns are free and rendering is the
  paid step
  (#2827)

Internal

• CLI: Separate telemetry delivery from event policy while preserving the
  queued flush and process-exit behavior
  (#2344)

HyperFrames v0.7.76

Released on 2026-07-27.

Plan v2 chunk materialization now recreates declared video directory skeletons even
when a sparse chunk needs no frames, so inactive-video chunks render without
downloading unused artifacts. Layout checks also improve rotation-pivot drift
diagnostics.

Fixes

• Producer: Materialize declared video directories for sparse Plan v2 chunks (ddb59d356, #2823)
• Check: Improve elongated rotation-pivot drift detection and detached-connector diagnostics (75ed99e1d, #2819)

v0.7.75

HyperFrames v0.7.75

Released on 2026-07-27.

Distributed capture now preflights BeginFrame support and falls back to screenshot
capture when the browser cannot provide a healthy BeginFrame session. A targeted
retry also recovers from BeginFrame-specific failures without masking unrelated errors.

Fixes

• Producer: Fall back from unhealthy distributed BeginFrame capture safely (96cafb47c, #2821)
• Regression: Schedule the Plan v2 color fixture in regression shards (51cbbe6fc, #2820)

Internal

• Regression: Compute the shard matrix from recorded fixture timings (f67012eb9, #2815)

v0.7.74

HyperFrames v0.7.74

Released on 2026-07-27.

Distributed Plan v2 now handles extraction-cache sentinels and partial color metadata
without corrupting chunk dependencies. Distributed cold starts also preserve live GSAP
volume state, while GCP captures honor the effective BeginFrame boundary.

Fixes

• Producer: Handle partial color metadata and extraction sentinels in Plan v2 (58869f087, #2814)
• GCP Cloud Run: Enforce effective BeginFrame capture (2a284a8e3, #2817)
• Core: Avoid live volume probes during render (477defc7e, #2816)

Performance

• Producer: Compute regression PSNR in one ffmpeg pass (98a4cd70f, #2813)
