`MEDYAN.fila_tip_extension`

`Tuple{MEDYAN.Context, MEDYAN.FilaTipIdx}`

fila_tip_extension(
    c::MEDYAN.Context,
    tip::MEDYAN.FilaTipIdx
) -> Float64

Return the tip extension for the given filament tip in monomer spacings.

The extension controls how far the tip position extends outward from the last monomer center. It affects both the chemistry tip position ([get_position] for FilaTipIdx) and the mechanical endpoint used in energy minimization (volume exclusion, equilibrium length):

0.0: tip at the monomer center
> 0.0: tip extends further outward (e.g. bulky end-binding protein)
< 0.0: tip moves inward past the monomer center

The mechanical node positions (fila_node_positions) remain at cylinder boundaries and are not affected by the extension.
