zooqueen 75094e0d60 frames: publish the toolchain as @hanzo/frames
@hanzo/frame is taken by the hero video primitive — one full-bleed video
element — which has held that name on npm since it shipped. This repo is the
video toolchain: a CLI, a renderer, a studio, a player. Plural is what it is,
so the CLI publishes as @hanzo/frames and the workspace packages follow it
(@hanzo/frames-core, @hanzo/frames-engine, and the rest).

The binary stays `frames`, and now actually ships. The manifest mapped it to
bin/frames.mjs while the file on disk was bin/hyperframes.mjs, so a global
install produced no working command.

The paths that name a package to fetch were pointing elsewhere. The update
check read registry.npmjs.org/frames, a different author's package, and the
npm, bun and pnpm installers would have pulled it over the CLI; the render
image installed the upstream hyperframes; scaffolded projects and the docs
pinned the unscoped name. All of them now name @hanzo/frames.

title: "@frames/studio-server"
description: "The studio preview/editor backend — a mountable Hono API, extracted from core."
---
The studio-server package is the HTTP backend that powers studio preview and editing — project routes, file serving, preview bundling, thumbnails, and source-mutation helpers. It was extracted from `@frames/core/studio-api` into a dedicated package so an embedder can mount the studio backend **without** depending on core's full surface, and so core no longer ships a web server it doesn't need at render time.
```bash
npm install @frames/studio-server
```
## When to Use
<Tip>
**Most users do not need this package directly.** The [CLI](/packages/cli) (`npx @hanzo/frames preview`) and [studio](/packages/studio) wire it up for you. Reach for it when you're **embedding** the studio backend into your own server.
</Tip>
**Use `@frames/studio-server` when you need to:**
- Mount the studio preview/editing API into an existing Node/Hono server
- Serve project files and bundled preview HTML to a custom frontend
- Drive source mutations (manual edits, draft markers) from your own tooling
<Info>
`@frames/core/studio-api` still resolves (via a back-compat re-export stub), so existing imports keep working. New code should import from `@frames/studio-server` directly.

## Mounting the API
`createStudioApi` returns a [Hono](https://hono.dev) app you can mount into any server. You supply a `StudioApiAdapter` that tells the API how to resolve projects, bundle preview HTML, and lint:
```typescript
import { createStudioApi } from '@frames/studio-server';
import type { StudioApiAdapter, ResolvedProject } from '@frames/studio-server';
const adapter: StudioApiAdapter = {
listProjects: () => projects,
resolveProject: (id) => projectsById.get(id) ?? null,
bundle: async (projectDir) => bundleToSingleHtml(projectDir),
lint: (html, opts) => lintHyperframeHtml(html, opts),
runtimeUrl: '/hyperframe-runtime.js',
rendersDir: (project) => join(project.dir, 'renders'),
startRender: async (opts) => startRenderJob(opts),
};
const api = createStudioApi(adapter); // → Hono app
// Mount under /api in your own Hono server
app.route('/api', api);
```
The adapter is the seam between the framework-agnostic route logic and your storage / bundling / lint implementation — the [CLI](/packages/cli) supplies a filesystem-backed adapter, but you can back it with anything.
## Helpers
```typescript
import {
createProjectSignature, // cache key for a project's files
isSafePath, // path-traversal guard
walkDir,
getMimeType,
buildSubCompositionHtml,
getElementScreenshotClip,
} from '@frames/studio-server';
import type {
ResolvedProject,
RenderJobState,
LintResult,
ScreenshotClip,
} from '@frames/studio-server';
```
