Renn F 9e6f3a5c6c docs(motion): reflow hard-wrapped prose + lock 0.20.0
The kit READMEs from #365 were hard-wrapped and failed the master
quality gate's reflow-check (the gate runs on master pushes, not PRs).
uv.lock picks up the 0.20.0 project version from the release bump.

# motion
In-repo [HyperFrames](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes) composition package. UX/UI devs author bespoke marketing-video compositions here on a normal delivery branch; once a composition merges, the orchestrator's render loop tars this directory and POSTs it to the `video-renderer` sidecar (T1 rewrote its render core to `@hyperframes/producer`), which renders the HTML to MP4 with Chromium. This package never renders itself — its own gate (`pnpm test`) is static: a vitest HTML-structure smoke against the authored files. The render-truth check happens on the sidecar, against the merged files.
## Adding a composition
Compositions live under `compositions/<composition_id>/`. Each composition is one directory containing the HTML/CSS/JS for that clip; one HTML file per orientation (the sidecar points `inputPath` at a single HTML file, so per-orientation branching belongs in its own file, not inside one file).
1. Create `compositions/<your_clip>/vertical.html` and `square.html` carrying the HyperFrames render params on `<html>`: `data-width`, `data-height`, `data-duration` (seconds), `data-fps`. Timed visible elements get `class="clip"` plus `data-start`, `data-duration`, and `data-track-index`.
2. Add a shared `theme.css` with `@font-face` declarations (fonts are vendored under `public/fonts/*.woff2` — never load from a CDN, the render is offline) and the color/type tokens for the clip.
3. Ship a `props.js` with default `window.__PROPS__` + `window.__ORIENTATION__` values for local preview. The sidecar OVERWRITES this file at render time with the real per-release values — your HTML loads it via `<script src="props.js"></script>` before any inline script that reads the globals.
4. Add `<your_clip>.test.js` (vitest) asserting the HTML-structure invariants — dimensions, props.js wiring, theme link, at least one `class="clip"` element, no CDN scripts. See `release-announcement.test.js` as a template.
5. `pnpm preview` (alias for `hyperframes preview <file>`) opens the local preview server; `pnpm lint` runs `hyperframes lint` over both orientations; `pnpm test` runs the smoke gate that CI runs.
## `release-announcement` — props shape
The composition reads `window.__PROPS__` (written into `props.js` by the sidecar at render time):
```js
{
script: string, // one or two sentences — the voiceover-style hook
version: string, // e.g. "0.19.0" — rendered as "v0.19.0"
highlights: string[],// shipped-feature bullets; only the first 4 render
}
```
`window.__ORIENTATION__` is also set by the sidecar, but each HTML file is for ONE orientation (the sidecar points `inputPath` directly at `compositions/release-announcement/vertical.html` or `square.html`), so the orientation is known at author time and there is no runtime branch. Vertical is **1080×1920** (TikTok + X mobile), square is **1080×1080** (X timeline). Width is always 1080; only the height (and so the available vertical canvas) changes. Square uses a tighter bottom pad (72) and scan-line top (72) than vertical (148 / 104) — those differences are baked into the respective HTML files.
## Design bar for future compositions
This composition is the library's reference point — match its restraint, don't reinvent the palette per clip. Dials (see the org's design-bar doctrine): **variance ~6, motion ~6, density ~4** — an energetic landing/marketing register, not a dense dashboard.
- **Color** — `compositions/<id>/theme.css` is the single source: a near-black ink field (never pure `#000`), warm off-white text (never pure `#fff`), and **one** accent color used with intent (a label, a rule, a marker — not washed across the frame). Reuse the theme tokens; don't hardcode new hex values per composition.
- **Type** — **Share Tech Mono** (a single static weight, 400 Regular — no bold/italic exists for this family) for the one big headline moment, paired with **Inter** as the clean workhorse body face for everything else. Both are vendored under `public/fonts/*.woff2` and loaded via `@font-face` in `theme.css` rather than fetched from a CDN — rendering never depends on network access or on whatever fonts happen to be installed on the render host. At least two weights of the body face, so hierarchy comes from more than just size.
- **Motion** — entrances are CSS keyframe animations with a restrained easing (`cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)` — smooth settle, no overshoot, approximating Remotion's `spring({damping:17, mass:0.7, stiffness:140})` without the bounce), staggered across elements via `animation-delay` rather than all firing on frame 0. Keep one continuous ambient motion (here: the scanning accent line) so the frame is never fully static once entrances land. Every animation should earn its place — hierarchy, or a beat of pacing, not motion for its own sake.
- **Layout** — anchor content asymmetrically (this clip sits in the lower two-thirds, left-aligned); avoid a perfectly centered card, which reads as a generic template rather than a designed frame.
- **AI tells to avoid** — no default AI-purple gradient wash, no centered-everything, no emoji as design elements, no one-font-one-size, no em dash in on-screen copy (voiceover script, highlight bullets, kicker text) or filler verbs ("Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen").
## Panel-demo kit (`kit/`)
`kit/` is a second register alongside the release-announcement's text-card style: reusable `pk-`-namespaced CSS/HTML that recreates the control panel's look (dark chrome, task cards, status pills, toasts, a typing reveal, a cursor) so a composition can simulate the product actually being used, instead of announcing it over a headline. Use the **text-card register** (release-announcement's pattern) for version/feature announcements with no product visuals; use the **demo register** (`kit/`) whenever the story is "watch this happen in the app" — a task moving through the panel, a feature being triggered, an agent doing something visible.
`compositions/panel-demo/` is the reference composition: a task title types into an intake field, a card materializes in a column, a cursor clicks it done, a toast confirms, out on "roboco.tech". Start a new demo-register composition from its structure and `kit.css`'s classes rather than reinventing the panel's chrome per clip. See `kit/README.md` for the full piece-by-piece reference.
