+HyperFrames now runs helper programs like FFmpeg only from where they are installed, never from a project folder. Renders can also refuse variables a page does not declare, when that check is turned on.

+## Features
+
+- **Producer:** With strict variables turned on, a render fails when it is given a variable the page does not declare. It is off by default, so renders are unchanged ([f312fca7e](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/f312fca7e2098524af07055bdf6c20a3706d6f89), [#7548](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/7548)).
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Studio Server:** Load fonts and modules only in the Studio's own preview frames ([ffb13c3b6](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/ffb13c3b62a1b8ed98fdcd835f15412d0a7ca7e6), [#7553](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/7553)).
+- **Skills:** Plugin launcher and media helpers run the pinned CLI, not a project copy ([a8fe3a5b6](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/a8fe3a5b6844c9f1ae1a4473793eeb11dfcec627), [#7552](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/7552)).
