		Path-Integrated Difference-in-Differences // Implements the Path-
		Integrated Difference-in-Differences ('PI-DiD') framework of
		Salavi (2026), which treats the treatment effect as a
		trajectory tau(t) = c1(t) - c0(t) and integrates the baseline-
		differenced gap over a post-treatment window to obtain a
		cumulative causal effect and a path-integrated average
		treatment effect on the treated, together with cluster-robust
		standard errors, confidence intervals, diagnostic plots, and
		the pre-treatment parallel-trends, grid-density, and
		anticipation-robustness checks of section 5 of the companion
		paper. This approach avoids the endpoint-subtraction bias that
		arises whenever a transitory policy's effect has fully decayed
		by the evaluation date, in which case the conventional static
		difference-in-differences estimate can be zero even though the
		cumulative benefit delivered to treated units was strictly
		positive. Formerly distributed as a Stata package under the
		names 'pidid' and 'pididplot'.
