Miguel ÁngelandGitHub b736de8819 fix(core,engine,producer): handle id-less media in sub-composition renders (#96)
## What

Move the id-less media fix into the shared timing compiler so producer can resolve durations for sub-composition videos before inlining, then carry the merged result through engine parsing, regression coverage, and the regression Docker image used in CI.

This PR now does five concrete things:

- assigns stable ids to id-less media in core `compileTimingAttrs()` so unresolved duration injection can target them
- keeps the engine-side `parseVideoElements()` support for `video[src]` plus the newer `data-duration` / natural-duration fallback from `main`
- makes producer prefer sub-composition media metadata over the later inlined-document parse when the same media id appears in both places
- makes `sub-composition-video` a runnable regression test by fixing its metadata and checking in the missing `output/compiled.html` snapshot
- removes the stale `pnpm-workspace.yaml` copy step from `Dockerfile.test`, so regression CI builds the Bun-based test image from the current workspace layout

## Why

- media without an explicit `id` could not participate in unresolved-duration resolution early enough
- producer could lose the resolved sub-composition timing by overwriting it with the later inlined parse
- the regression fixture intended to cover this case was not actually running in CI because its `meta.json` was incomplete and the required compiled snapshot was missing
- the regression image definition still expected a deleted `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, so GitHub Actions failed before the test shard could start

Putting the id-generation step in core makes the behavior reusable instead of relying on producer-only HTML patching.

## How

### Shared compiler

- core `compileTimingAttrs()` now auto-assigns stable ids to id-less `video` / `audio` tags
- those generated ids are returned in `unresolved`, so `injectDurations()` can add `data-duration` and `data-end` to the same media element later in the pipeline
- added core tests that cover auto-id assignment and duration injection for generated ids

### Producer

- when producer combines `subVideos` / `subAudios` with the media re-parsed from the final inlined HTML, it now lets the sub-composition metadata win
- this preserves the resolved/clamped timing already computed for nested media instead of overwriting it with the later parse
- `sub-composition-video` now has valid regression metadata and a checked-in `output/compiled.html` snapshot so CI actually executes it

### Engine

- resolved the merge conflict in `videoFrameExtractor` by keeping the broader `video[src]` parsing from this branch and the `data-duration` / natural-duration fallback that landed on `main`
- added a focused engine unit test for videos without ids

### CI image

- `Dockerfile.test` now copies only `package.json` and `bun.lock` at the workspace root before `bun install --frozen-lockfile`
- this matches the current monorepo layout and removes the obsolete pnpm-era dependency on `pnpm-workspace.yaml`

## Test plan

- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/core test`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/engine test`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer test --update --sequential sub-composition-video`
- [x] `bun run --filter @hyperframes/producer test --sequential sub-composition-video`
- [x] Browser check with `agent-browser` against the compiled fixture page (`http://127.0.0.1:8123/compiled.html`)
- [x] Clean tracked-only Docker build of `Dockerfile.test` with the PR version of the file applied

## Notes

- Latest regression workflow is green on `main`, but before this PR the `sub-composition-video` fixture was being skipped by the harness rather than exercised end to end.
- The CI Docker fix was validated from a tracked-only export to avoid local untracked worktree artifacts affecting the result.

@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.
