ThinkingOrb(.searching). That is the whole integration. Nine hand-tuned dotted loading indicators for AI and agent interfaces in SwiftUI: eight are real 3D forms, rotated, depth-shaded and z-sorted, and the ninth is a morphing outline. All drawn only in grayscale dots, so they sit quietly in any interface, light or dark. Every orb pauses itself offscreen, stays in phase with the others, and respects Reduce Motion. Swift 6, iOS 17+, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS, Swift Package Manager, MIT.
