    Enable end-to-end distributed WebM rendering

    The burst’s primary change is making WebM a first-class distributed format so the distributed rendering path now accepts and executes `webm` jobs end to end (plan → chunking → assembly → Lambda CLI), rather than rejecting them as unsupported format requests.

    Why It MattersVideo teams can now keep WebM rendering in distributed Lambda workflows instead of manually rerouting those jobs when `--format webm` was previously blocked, which removes a production blocker for web-delivery render jobs that need VP9 output and lets operators scale those renders without format fallback. This was implemented by aligning producer plan/config paths, shared format typing, and CLI/Lambda allowlists, and should be watched closely for chunk-seam quality regressions, format-union drift across packages, and any gap in regression coverage when future format enums change.

    Enable distributed WebM concat-copy with correct alpha handling

    The change makes distributed rendering accept WebM as a first-class format through the existing `plan() → renderChunk() → assemble()` path by wiring `webm` into plan config, encoder selection, and format checks, and fixes the `needsAlpha` logic so WebM jobs preserve transparency in `yuva420p` instead of being forced through opaque capture.

    Why It MattersDistributed rendering users can now deliver WebM outputs with transparency correctly preserved, so scenes that rely on alpha compositing no longer silently degrade into opaque videos in production pipelines, and teams should watch whether any alpha-heavy prompts or other input formats reintroduce opacity regressions. The PR adds WebM to distributed-plan format acceptance and encoder mapping (`libvpx-vp9-software` + `yuva420p`), removes the prior `needsAlpha` exclusion that forced wrong capture behavior, and extends smoke tests to check real alpha variation via `TAG:ALPHA_MODE=1` and alpha-plane variance decoding.

    Fix Lambda font-cache path to stop distributed render plan failures

    The PR fixes an AWS Lambda runtime bug in distributed rendering where Google Fonts cache writes were sent to `$HOME/.cache/...` and failed in Lambda’s read-only home directory, then adds Lambda detection so cache files are written under `/tmp/hyperframes/fonts` instead.

    What ChangedThe PR fixes an AWS Lambda runtime bug in distributed rendering where Google Fonts cache writes were sent to `$HOME/.cache/...` and failed in Lambda’s read-only home directory, then adds Lambda detection so cache files are written under `/tmp/hyperframes/fonts` instead.
    Why It MattersOperators running distributed Lambda renders with Google-font assets now avoid early pipeline failures, so render stacks no longer stop at plan stage from unwritable cache paths and do not require manual reruns or environment-specific workarounds. The fix is implemented by detecting Lambda via `AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME` and redirecting cache writes to `/tmp`; keep watching `/tmp` usage growth in parallel jobs, cache cleanup/reuse behavior across repeated runs, and edge cases where Lambda-like runtime signatures are not detected correctly.

    Fix Lambda font-cache path to stop distributed render plan failures

    The PR fixes an AWS Lambda runtime bug in distributed rendering where Google Fonts cache writes were sent to `$HOME/.cache/...` and failed in Lambda’s read-only home directory, then adds Lambda detection so cache files are written under `/tmp/hyperframes/fonts` instead.
    ContributionChanged distributed producer font-cache resolution to branch on Lambda environment and use `tmpdir()/hyperframes/fonts` instead of `$HOME/.cache/...` for deterministic Google Fonts caching. This removes the plan-time `ENOENT` crash that blocked Lambda renders when fonts were required.

    Enable end-to-end distributed WebM rendering

    The burst’s primary change is making WebM a first-class distributed format so the distributed rendering path now accepts and executes `webm` jobs end to end (plan → chunking → assembly → Lambda CLI), rather than rejecting them as unsupported format requests.
    ContributionIntroduced a unified distributed-format contract for `webm` by updating distributed plan acceptance, encoder/assembly wiring, and validation/CLI type surfaces (`lambda render --format webm`), then added/updated regression fixtures for webm-vp9 distributed behavior so this format is now exercised through the same pipeline as other supported distributed outputs.

    ContributionIntroduced end-to-end WebM support in the distributed rendering pipeline by enabling `format: webm` in planning and lock/assembly flow and binding it to `libvpx-vp9-software` + `yuva420p`, while correcting `needsAlpha` handling so distributed WebM uses the alpha-capable capture path; strengthened smoke checks now validate alpha-plane variance and stream tagging to detect transparency regressions.

    heygen-com/hyperframes commit burst: 10 commits in 7 days

    WebM was wired through distributed plan contracts, runtime allowlists, and CLI/API surfaces with concat-copy coverage for VP9 chunked output in the Hyperframes distributed pipeline.

  3. github_pull_request

    heygen-com/hyperframes PR #951: feat(producer): enable webm in distributed mode via concat-copy

    PR 951 adds `webm` to distributed plan/lock/render validation and fixes the alpha gating bug (`needsAlpha` excluded `webm`) that caused distributed WebM outputs to be captured without alpha, with added alpha-focused smoke validation.
