chore: release v0.8.1

[miguel-heygen]

What

Release HyperFrames v0.8.1 from current main.

• Bumps all 13 publishable packages and three plugin manifests from v0.8.0 to v0.8.1.
• Carries the three commits that landed after v0.8.0: fix(add): make chosen variables actually take effect, in the CLI and the preview #3316, feat(studio): prompt to install FFmpeg before Export, not after #3314 and fix(docs): load the player from latest, not a pinned minor #3320.

Why

#3316 is the one users will feel. A value picked with --vars was dropped on the way to the file hyperframes add writes, so the installed component rendered its defaults and nothing said otherwise. The same release fixes the catalog preview ignoring chosen values, and makes a failed install name the registry it could not reach and the actual reason.

#3314 moves Studio's FFmpeg prompt to before an export rather than after one fails.

#3320 is what lets the preview half of #3316 arrive at all. The docs pinned the player CDN URL to a minor line and the pin had gone stale, so a published fix never reached the catalog pages. They ask for latest now, which means this release reaches the docs on its own once npm has it. jsDelivr serves latest with a twelve hour edge cache, so the pages pick it up within about that, not instantly.

How

Prepared with the repository's stable release workflow, drafted from the v0.8.0 tag so the notes cover exactly what landed after it. This branch was rebuilt on top of current main after #3320 merged, so the release commit sits on the same tree the publish workflow will build.

The publish workflow will use the immutable merge SHA, create v0.8.1, publish npm packages to latest, and cut the GitHub release after this PR is approved and merged.

Test plan

• Unit tests added/updated
• Manual testing performed
• Documentation updated (if applicable)

Validation completed locally on the rebuilt branch:

• bun run test:scripts: 184 Node tests and 29 catalog Vitest tests passed.
• bunx oxfmt --check docs/changelog.mdx releases/v0.8.1.md passed.
• The release commit touches only version manifests and the reviewed changelog artifacts, 18 files, matching the shape of the v0.8.0 release commit.

Not covered

Component catalog pages still will not answer their variables panel after this ships. That is a separate defect: their preview payload is built from a hand-copy of the snippet, and 166 of the 168 components declaring variables have a copy with the declaration missing, so there is nothing in the markup for a chosen value to reach. Blocks are unaffected and do respond.
