smoothCursor#

// magicui "Smooth Cursor" — clean-room reimplementation from the public
// behavior/visual spec only (no upstream source viewed or copied). A
// full-viewport custom cursor that hides the native OS cursor globally and
// trails the real mouse position with spring physics — the visible glyph
// lags slightly behind fast movement and settles with a small overshoot
// rather than snapping or easing linearly, and rotates to lean into the
// current direction of travel.
