Fires a single-frame `pulse` on the first graph evaluation, then stays at 0 forever. The graph-native equivalent of "do this once at startup". Replaces the common hack of `(time > 0.05 ? 1 : 0)` expression + thresholdPulse rising-edge detector — that pattern silently failed because of thresholdPulse's cold-start rule (first-frame-above-threshold is NOT a rising edge).

Use cases
- Trigger a chars-stagger reveal at page load (wire to staggerWrite's upstream restart pulse).
- Prime a `directionLatch` so the initial direction is forward (wire to its `forward` input).
- Restart a `pulseTween` once on init so it animates to a settled state at load.
