| Prop           | Type                             | Default        |
| -------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------- |
| `variant`      | `"single" \| "double" \| "bold"` | `"single"`     |
| `orientation`  | `"horizontal" \| "vertical"`     | `"horizontal"` |
| `color`        | `string`                         | -              |
| `label`        | `string`                         | -              |
| `labelColor`   | `string`                         | -              |
| `dividerChar`  | `string`                         | -              |
| `titlePadding` | `number`                         | `1`            |
| `padding`      | `number`                         | `0`            |
| `height`       | `number`                         | `1`            |
| `width`        | `number \| "auto"`               | `"auto"`       |

On horizontal dividers, the rule uses OpenTUI border segments; `dividerChar` applies to **vertical** orientation.
