Star Cursor ⭐

Star Cursor ⭐ is a cursor effect in the UI HUB cursor effects collection. An ultra-premium cosmic star cursor rendered on a Canvas 2D layer. Features an 8-point glowing white star with long light rays, a pulsing bloom aura, and a particle system that spawns shooting-star trails on movement and a 24-particle radial burst on click. Expands and intensifies on hovering interactive elements.

The component is driven by 6 documented props (starSize, stiffness, damping, containerRef, hideDefaultCursor, className), so colours, intensity, timing and density can be tuned from the call site instead of being hard-coded.

Implementation notes: Canvas 2D rendering with requestAnimationFrame loop; Spring physics position smoothing (stiffness + damping); 8-point star drawn with drawStar helper (alternating outer/inner radius).
