HyperFrames quality gate

Review the exact source project and exact candidate render. Do not treat a successful render command as quality evidence. Read hyperframes-cli first; then read hyperframes-core, hyperframes-creative, hyperframes-animation, or hyperframes-keyframes only when their area is in scope.

Run the gate

1. Validate the source. Run hyperframes check. Resolve structural, deterministic-timeline, layout, and contrast findings before continuing. Use hyperframes inspect --json for dense compositions or targeted timestamps; inspect every major text/data moment, scene transition, and the ending.
2. Review rendered evidence. Render a draft when no candidate render exists. Extract a contact sheet and representative frames from that rendered MP4, including opening, scene midpoints, dense text/data moments, transitions, and ending. For multi-composition projects, prefer rendered-MP4 frame extraction over snapshot-only evidence; it is the delivery truth.
3. Critique craft. Compare the evidence with BRIEF.md, STORYBOARD.md, SCRIPT.md, and frame.md when present. Check:
   • message clarity by scene two and evidence/claim fidelity;
   • safe areas, typography, contrast, hierarchy, and readable playback-speed copy;
   • transitions, pacing, continuity, and whether motion explains rather than decorates;
   • seek-safe timing, no stale frames, clipping, blank states, or unintended repeated/frozen frames;
   • design-system adherence and an intentional opening and ending.
4. Repair, then re-check. Fix the editable HyperFrames source, repeat only the affected checks, render again, and re-inspect. Use no more than two repair passes in a workflow gate. If a material issue cannot be proven fixed, return revise or blocked; never pass it onward.

Record a decision

Write a concise scorecard alongside the stage report. Include schema_version: 1, the exact source/archive and candidate path, inspected timestamps, checks with evidence, repair passes, final verdict (pass, revise, or blocked), and a concrete recommended action. A pass requires evidence for every applicable composition check.
