+Stops generated waveform, thumbnail, and transcode caches from retriggering Studio project reloads or appearing as project files. Real source edits still invalidate previews normally.

+## Fixes

+- **CLI:** Ignore generated cache directories in the recursive project watcher, preventing preview refresh loops during cache generation ([#2952](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/2952))
+- **Studio:** Keep generated caches out of Storyboard signatures and the project file tree while retaining invalidation for real source edits ([#2952](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/2952))
