Pi packages can execute code and influence agent behavior. Review the source before installing third-party packages.

Animates a symmetric-gradient comet along the pi editor's top and bottom border while the agent is working.

Brightest at the comet's center, fading smoothly to both sides
Top sweeps left→right, bottom sweeps right→left
Top and bottom use different colors (cyan + magenta by default)
After each full cycle the colors swap (what was on top moves to the bottom and vice versa)
Speed and tail length breathe via slow sine modulation for a dynamic, organic feel

Stops on agent_end (border returns to default color).

pi install npm:@omardev_11/pi-pulse-border

Variable	Default	Description
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_TOP_COLOR`	`#00d9ff`	Hex color of the top comet (cyan).
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_BOTTOM_COLOR`	`#cf30aa`	Hex color of the bottom comet (magenta).
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_MS`	`50`	Frame interval in ms (min 16).
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_SPEED`	`1.5`	Base chars-per-frame speed.
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_TAIL`	`32`	Base comet diameter in chars (full width — half on each side of the head).
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_BASE`	`0.1`	Brightness 0..1 of chars outside the comet (the "idle" tint while working).
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_BREATHE`	`0.4`	Amplitude 0..1 of the sine modulation applied to speed and tail. Set `0` for constant speed/size.
`PI_PULSE_BORDER_COLORS`	unset	Legacy: comma-separated `top,bottom`. Overrides the two color vars above.

Subclasses pi's CustomEditor. If another extension also calls ctx.ui.setEditorComponent, only the last one wins.
No effect when ctx.hasUI is false (non-interactive --print mode).
