Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests, so start by comparing the Hyfrme example with Remocn's referenced source and then locate the catalog's native HTML/GSAP effect entry point. Done means the caret swap supports editable phrases, text styling, gradient colors, seeking, and text/timing fit at mount, with catalog documentation and a rendered preview.

Description

triage/needs-triage

Problem

Creating a caret wipe that replaces one phrase with another requires coordinating the wipe, text layout and typing. This should be a reusable Catalog effect with editable text and styling.

Proposed solution

Add a native HTML/GSAP caret-swap component. A gradient caret covers the first phrase, collapses to the left, then types and centers its replacement. Expose the phrases, text styling and gradient colors, preserve seeking, and fit the text and timing to the mount.

Reference

Hyfrme example, based on Remocn's MIT-licensed source.

The implementation, catalog docs and rendered preview are prepared in the linked PR.
