Closes #3057

Summary

A published demo video is a claim that the command it records runs clean, but nothing enforced that until now, and the lint demo had published an ESLint warning into the documentation unnoticed. VideoRecorder and update-videos.php now decode each recording to plain text after post-processing, match it against a curated set of error, warning and failure patterns (with exemptions for paths, URLs, options and explicit zero counts), and refuse to render the video when the transcript reports an issue. The check runs only at recording time, with no override flag: output that cannot be fixed in this repository is fixed at the command that emits it. The build and lint demos are re-recorded to pass the new check, and .docker/cli.dockerfile drops npm cache clean --force, which itself printed a warning on every image build, in favor of a build-scoped cache directory removed in the same layer.

Changes

Video output verification

  • VideoRecorder gains ISSUE_PATTERNS (error, warning and failure categories), ISSUE_EXEMPT_PATTERNS, and the methods castToText(), stripAnsi(), writeTranscript(), findIssues(), assertNoIssues() and truncate().
  • Escape sequences split across two recorded events are handled by concatenating every o event payload before stripping ANSI.
  • The check runs after postprocessCast() deliberately, so the transcript written to disk carries the same anonymised paths, redacted login tokens and masked credentials as the rendered video rather than becoming a plaintext copy of a captured secret.
  • Failures are matched in the recorded text rather than trusted to an exit code, because a command that fails inside a recording still leaves asciinema exiting zero.
  • The decoded text is passed through mb_scrub() before matching, because the error pattern needs the u modifier to carry and a u pattern returns FALSE rather than no-match on invalid UTF-8, which would hide every marker on the offending line.
  • update-videos.php gains TRANSCRIPT_REL = '.artifacts/videos' and, inside render_video(), writes the transcript and asserts on it between the time-scale step and renderSvg().
  • Transcripts land at .artifacts/videos/<name>.txt, which is gitignored - working material, not a published artifact.
  • The report names every offending line with its transcript line number and groups repeated identical lines.

Dockerfile

  • .docker/cli.dockerfile replaces npm cache clean --force with npm_config_cache pointed at a build-scoped path that is removed in the same layer; npm requires --force for cache clean and then prints npm warn using --force Recommended protections disabled. on every image build, and --silent was rejected because it also swallows genuine errors (npm exits 1 with no message).
  • Installer fixtures regenerated for that template change: _baseline, which holds the block itself, plus the 7 scenarios whose fixture diff records the block being removed - the three core-theme scenarios (theme_claro, theme_olivero, theme_stark) and the four built without a custom theme (tools_groups_no_fe_lint_no_theme, tools_groups_no_fe_lint_no_theme_circleci, tools_no_eslint_no_theme, tools_no_stylelint_no_theme).

Demo videos

  • build and lint re-recorded: both predated the ESLint 9 configuration, the theme @param docblock and the skipped BuildKit secrets check, so they had published npm deprecation warnings, a jsdoc/require-param warning and a SecretsUsedInArgOrEnv warning.

Documentation

  • .vortex/CLAUDE.md, .vortex/docs/CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills/prepare-vortex-release/SKILL.md updated: the video count corrected from six to nine (info, doctor and doctor-info had been added without updating the prose), and the pipeline steps now list those three in the sets that require ahoy build.

Verification

All nine committed recordings pass the check (installer, build, provision, lint, test, test-bdd, info, doctor, doctor-info), and each exemption pattern is earned by a real line in the corpus: - Locking symfony/error-handler (v7.4.15) for a path, a Release notes: https://github.com/... line for a URL, > eslint web/modules/custom --max-warnings=0 --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern for an option, [OK] No errors for a zero count, and [OK] Files linted: 3, notices: 0, warnings: 0, errors: 0 for a zero assignment.

Split escape sequences were verified against a synthetic cast whose colour sequence is cut across two o events: the sequence is stripped whole and the warning behind it is still matched, at the correct transcript line.

No check job is added to CI. One existing step does inherit the gate, however: vortex-test-installer runs php .utils/update-videos.php installer on the PHP 8.2 leg as a smoke test of the prompt flow, and that recording is now checked like any other. It passes on this branch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added three terminal demo recordings: info, doctor, and doctor-info.
    • Added transcript generation and validation before video rendering.
    • Recordings with errors, warnings, or failures are now blocked and reported with diagnostic details.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated the lint demonstration to complete without warnings or errors.
    • Improved build cache cleanup during theme builds.
  • Documentation

    • Updated video recording and regeneration instructions to cover the expanded recording set and validation behavior.

…an issue.

Each cast is decoded to plain text at '.artifacts/videos/<name>.txt', and the render stops when that text reports an error, a warning or a failure. A command that fails inside a recording still leaves asciinema exiting zero, so failures are matched in the text rather than trusted to the exit code. Fragments that carry a marker word without reporting anything - paths, URLs, package names, command line options and zero counts - are removed before the match.
'npm cache clean' requires '--force' and then warns that recommended protections are disabled, which the theme build printed on every image build. Pointing the cache at a build-scoped path and removing it in the same layer keeps the cache out of the image and emits nothing.
Both recordings predated the ESLint 9 configuration, the theme docblock and the skipped BuildKit secrets check, so they published npm deprecation warnings, a 'jsdoc/require-param' warning and a 'SecretsUsedInArgOrEnv' warning. All nine recordings now pass the output check.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The video workflow now decodes recordings into transcripts, detects errors, warnings, and failures, and blocks rendering when issues exist. Documentation covers nine recordings and the validation process. The Docker theme build uses a temporary npm cache.

Changes

Video validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decode and detect recording issues
.vortex/docs/.utils/VideoRecorder.php
VideoRecorder decodes cast output, strips terminal sequences, writes transcripts, detects exempted issue patterns, and reports grouped diagnostics.
Validate recordings before rendering
.vortex/docs/.utils/update-videos.php
render_video() validates each transcript before generating SVG, PNG, or GIF assets.
Document recordings and supporting outputs
.vortex/docs/CLAUDE.md, .vortex/CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills/prepare-vortex-release/SKILL.md, .docker/cli.dockerfile, .vortex/docs/static/img/lint.json
Documentation lists nine recordings and validation rules. The theme build uses /tmp/npm-cache. The lint capture reports no warnings or errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b183a

The PR adds transcript validation before publishing demo videos, but the current implementation can accept an incomplete recording and the regenerated lint recording contains duplicate headers; valid terminal sequences may also remain in transcripts. These issues can produce invalid or falsely clean documentation videos, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are corrected.

Poem

A rabbit checks each terminal line,
Warnings and errors must not shine.
Nine videos hop in a row,
Clean transcripts guide the flow.
SVG carrots grow just right! 🐇
