v0.8.80

# HyperFrames v0.8.80

Released on 2026-09-27.

Studio reloads the preview less often, and its thumbnails and catalog installs are more reliable. Export, seek and snapshot now show the right video frame, and CLI commands exit when they finish.

## Fixes

- **Studio:** Reload the preview only when a file it loaded changes ([e00baefb5](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/e00baefb5c536a10849bf94d0b8b2741aba60b37), [#4570](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4570)).
- **Studio Server:** A thumbnail survives files vanishing mid-request ([1262485a0](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/1262485a017256a60e305a924b1d2fbe79b728cd), [#4571](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4571)).
- **Studio:** An automation lane edit is refused on a locked clip and reports how it saved ([1a53681de](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/1a53681de160ad5eac47574f4c8d5da1728e8060), [#4533](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4533)).
- **Core:** A CSS animation in a later clip shows the right frame after a seek ([8dfdceb16](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/8dfdceb167b669985f11c65ad537dc84a8e09b50), [#4554](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4554)).
- **Engine:** Export draws a video in exactly the frames it is shown in ([3def3514d](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/3def3514d1428b2dba7208c5e1d003cca7d0bfce), [#4565](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4565)).
- **Studio:** Avoid preview reloads for temporary and excluded files ([31c00d2f0](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/31c00d2f0e30b8a57af6557e3ed52797863231c3), [#4553](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4553)).
- **Core:** Preserve in-flight video preloads during runtime binding ([cc439b0e5](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/cc439b0e599170687e79aa69ccf84a7ec266728c), [#4562](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4562)).
- **Studio Server:** Probe each proxied clip once instead of on every request ([9c56240bf](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/9c56240bf58455dc0b038bd35b6fda54d69d742d), [#4557](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4557)).
- **CLI:** Stop background update and skills checks from holding a finished command open ([16dc05e9f](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/16dc05e9fb9620cab1ba1ea588f74ced43592f81), [#4556](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4556)).
- **CLI:** --yes in an unattended run no longer overrides a no saved by another process ([d290c05b0](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/d290c05b09e6b1afbf3b992be606df6766d4a172), [#4547](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4547)).
- **CLI:** Snapshot shows a short video's last frame instead of going black ([76723c614](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/76723c614c52136f33cbc3dc506af2efa27ccca4), [#4552](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4552)).
- **Player:** A reloaded preview waits for its assets once, not twice ([640e99043](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/640e990431f0e8caa5d6fcbb914c936ecbbe8b4e), [#4546](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4546)).
- **Core:** Clips that meet within float rounding count as meeting in edits and playback ([984ad28c7](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/984ad28c7cbaae37db26e0c8eeea9b92e7b457ac), [#4535](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4535)).

## Performance

- **Studio:** Serve bounded JPEG timeline thumbnails ([91b21ae06](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/91b21ae06f1f253f97ad8d9d3b472a97e63773bc), [#4560](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4560)).

## Docs & Examples

- Credit the background-removal model as Apache-2.0, matching upstream U-2-Net ([e3ef033a3](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/e3ef033a314abf9d1019cda402776627c040f4bb), [#4561](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4561)).

## Catalog

- **CLI:** Studio's catalog install records the item and honours paths, as add does ([4984a268f](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/4984a268f760eed2997974245b52a59b8a037efa), [#4573](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4573)).
- **Studio:** The dev server leaves catalog installs to hyperframes preview ([c83e95857](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/c83e958576f406d474a636d648d94dfc05fa822d), [#4574](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4574)).

## Internal

- CLI and studio-server tests remove the temp folders they create ([950cccdac](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/950cccdac065442af4fe4ac2f1279fd910d8d28e), [#4566](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/4566)).
