Description
The current plugin outputs tables using standard markdown pipe syntax (| cell |). While this works well and aligns columns correctly, using Unicode box-drawing characters produces a much nicer visual result in the terminal.
Proposal
Replace (or optionally support) pipe-based borders with box-drawing characters.
Current output:
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---------|--------|-------|
| Bold | Active | v2.0 |
Proposed output:
┌─────────┬────────┬───────┐
│ Feature │ Status │ Notes │
├─────────┼────────┼───────┤
│ Bold │ Active │ v2.0 │
└─────────┴────────┴───────┘

Here's what it looks like in OpenCode with concealment mode enabled, including bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, and links:
Notes
- Concealment mode compatibility is preserved — width calculations are unchanged, only the frame characters differ
- Alignment (left/center/right) works correctly
- The trade-off is that the output is no longer valid markdown for copy-paste. This could be addressed by making it a configurable option (
"pipe" vs "box")
