Edges are re-measured to ~0.01 s. Captions-track text and `data-layout-ignore` are exempt.

   - `text_below_floor`: text under 2.6% of the frame's short side (28 px on 1080) held 0.5 s or more, one finding per file listing every element.
+  - `headline_small`: the largest text on screen under 5.2% of the short side (56 px on 1080) held 0.5 s or more, one finding per file; text under the type floor is `text_below_floor` instead.

 - **Audio**: the clips the render mixes, in the report's `audio` section. It runs even when lint stops the browser pass. Remote sources are not fetched.

 2. `npx hyperframes snapshot --review` writes three sheets: each scene just after it starts and at its middle, plus each `data-beat`, a strip across every cut (−0.2 s to +0.2 s), and the beat frames at phone width (360 px). Open all three.
 3. Motion between the beats: `snapshot --range START,END --frames 8` around the hero move and the payoff; `keyframes --shot` for a path that must arc or land.
 4. The rendered file: `npx hyperframes audio <video> --json` shows whether sound is there, where it hits and how loud it is. You cannot hear it; say so.
