fix(skills): reject empty or partial scene files at assembly time#1629
Merged
Conversation
A scene worker that errors or is interrupted mid-write leaves an empty (or markup-less) compositions/<scene>.html. existsSync passed, so assemble-index emitted a data-composition-src pointing at it and the failure surfaced much later as the render-compile error "Composition HTML is empty or could not be parsed: compositions/scene-*.html" — the #1 render_error, ~4.7k users/day and climbing. All three assemblers (product-launch-video, faceless-explainer, pr-to-video) now validate scene-file content (non-empty + contains markup) right where they already read it for the duration cross-check, and die with an actionable "re-dispatch that scene worker" message before the broken project can reach a user's render.

…ner onto the script-driven architecture (#1635) * refactor(product-launch-video): restructure onto script-driven architecture Move product-launch-video onto the shared script-driven authoring flow: build-frame remixes a hyperframes-creative preset onto brand tokens, audio routes through the shared hyperframes-media engine, per-preset caption skins, and every frame is authored as a directed shot. Removes the old bespoke scripts (captions/validate/prep/hoist/…) in favour of the shared lib. assemble-index.mjs keeps upstream #1629's blank/partial scene-file guard (reject an empty or markup-less scene file at assembly, before emitting data-composition-src, and re-dispatch) carried onto the restructured reader. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(pr-to-video): restructure onto script-driven architecture Move pr-to-video onto the shared script-driven authoring flow: ingest.mjs folds the gh PR artifacts into the synthetic capture package the shared backend (build-frame / captions / assemble-index) reads, add the mechanism beat, route audio through hyperframes-media, and remix a hyperframes-creative preset onto brand tokens via the shared lib. - Fix skill name: pr-to-video-refactor -> pr-to-video (match directory). - Drop a stale faceless-explainer-refactor reference in an ingest.mjs comment. - assemble-index.mjs keeps upstream #1629's blank/partial scene-file guard.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * style(product-launch-video): oxfmt storyboard.mjs Run oxfmt over lib/storyboard.mjs — formatting only, no logic change.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(studio): import commitGsapPositionFromDrag from its actual module The function was split out into gsapDragPositionCommit.ts in #1605, but the test kept importing it from ./gsapDragCommit, which no longer exports it — yielding 'is not a function' at runtime. Import from the correct module. Inherited main breakage (same fix as #1631); fixes the Test CI check on this branch independently of merge order.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(skills): tighten caption comment-strip + document audio --only merge Review follow-ups (#1635): - captions.mjs (x3): the HTML-comment strip used a single global replace, which CodeQL flags as incomplete multi-character sanitization (a nested/partial pair can re-form a marker the single pass misses). Strip in a fixpoint loop instead. Input is preset-library content, not user-controlled, so this is lint- cleanliness, not XSS defense. - audio.mjs (x3): document that fetch-sfx (--only sfx) MERGES into the neutral audio_engine_meta.json sidecar — the engine reads prev and recomputes only the sfx section, so voices/bgm from the generate pass are preserved (review Q). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(skills): remove existsSync->write TOCTOU in workflow scripts Clears the 9 js/file-system-race CodeQL alerts (captions/audio/transitions x3). Each was an existsSync precheck followed by a later write of the same path: - captions.mjs: caption-overrides shim -> atomic writeFileSync({ flag: 'wx' }). - audio.mjs (sync-durations) + transitions.mjs (inject): drop the existsSync precheck and read directly, surfacing the same friendly error from a try/catch on readFileSync — no check->write gap. Behavior is unchanged (same error messages); these are local single-process deterministic scripts so the race was never a real risk, but this clears the gate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(skills): paint root composition ground color in assemble-index Per-frame roots carry data-start/data-duration and get clip-gated against the global timeline at render, so only the first frame's window overlaps global 0 — a frame's own full-bleed background can't serve as the video ground, and every frame after the first renders on the bare body color (black). Paint the ground on the always-present root composition using the project's frame.md canvas color (the same role the caption skin maps to --cap-canvas); fall back to the body letterbox color when frame.md is absent or has no resolvable ground. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(hyperframes): drop router-tag edit (moved to the foundation PR) The entry SKILL.md is rewritten wholesale by the frame-presets/media foundation PR (#1632); editing it here too guaranteed a merge conflict. Restore this file to main and let the router-tag tweak live with the rewrite in #1632, so the two PRs no longer both touch it.

Summary
When a scene worker errors or is interrupted mid-write, it can leave an empty (or markup-less)
compositions/<scene>.html. The assembler only checked that the file existed, so it still emitted adata-composition-srcreference to it. The problem surfaced much later — at render — as the confusing compile error:By then the broken project had already shipped to the user, and the message pointed at the symptom rather than the cause.
Changes
All three assemblers (
product-launch-video,faceless-explainer,pr-to-video) now validate scene-file content — non-empty and contains markup — at the exact point they already read the file for the duration cross-check. If a scene file is blank or partial, assembly fails fast with an actionable message telling the author to re-dispatch that scene worker, before any reference to it is written intoindex.html.This moves the failure from a late, opaque render error to an early, clear authoring error, and prevents an unrenderable project from being produced at all.
Verification
node --checkpasses on all three scripts.
