HyperFrames v0.8.51

Released on 2026-09-19.

Speed ramps land end to end: a rate lane in data-automation that renders with the same source-time mapping as the preview. A composition with no authored length now takes it from its clips, and hyperframes timeline prints a project's tracks and clips from the CLI.

Features
