+Check, snapshot and renders always use the Chrome HyperFrames pinned, and Studio keeps render scratch files out of your project. Installing the CLI skips an unused code formatter, cloud renders move project files once, and colour grades compile faster.
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **CLI:** Installing the CLI no longer downloads an unused code formatter ([b1fe8ddc1](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/b1fe8ddc1d71bc9d3d6352d037874ad71cfd2ffc), [#5906](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5906)).
+- Check, snapshot and renders use the pinned Chrome, not an older one another tool cached ([50e7a59ae](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/50e7a59aef592e262238edfa2df2a6d96af2476f), [#5900](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5900)).
+- **Studio:** Render scratch stays out of the project and error telemetry counts real failures only ([93c321285](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/93c321285c79cc59f5a0ac5550170a7f5e945d33), [#5902](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5902)).
+- **CLI:** Snapshot --proxy exits once its frames are written, without waiting for copies ([35c03a509](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/35c03a509e0e7c7ac76ea0cffc6ae44a8d5a5a76), [#5895](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5895)).
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Cloud:** Move project bytes once through shared content storage ([992df8b20](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/992df8b2031341a647152414d06f946523b46f83), [#5772](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5772)).
+- **Core:** A color grade compiles only the effects it turns on ([44bbc5885](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/44bbc5885fdece9144d7c12cd35baea572c4ad56), [#5889](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5889)).
+
+## Docs & Examples
+
+- **Changelog:** Weekly digest 2026-10-12-2026-10-19 ([563869f0f](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/563869f0f55495d643d5ab9ed25e0b64d2bfe8b9), [#5894](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5894)).
+
+## Internal
+
+- The file size check fetches two commits, not the whole history, so it finishes in time ([68b873f07](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/68b873f0763361866d09b604d3f132ac47c6cbc5), [#5903](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5903)).
+- **Studio:** The edit accuracy bench stops waiting on background lint and thumbnail images ([4c798f398](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/4c798f398dc36e2d2f7df9e48d3e1b9858e87628), [#5899](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5899)).
+- **Engine:** Browser tests kill a Chrome whose close hangs instead of timing out ([0ce14d644](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/0ce14d6443a43b595f7ed915f370791447f7d14e), [#5898](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5898)).
