BadgeIndicator
Carbon's BadgeIndicator. Number-or-dot badge that overlays a host element (typically a button or icon) — used for notification counts on bell icons, unread-message counts on inbox triggers, and pending-review counts on QC affordances.

When to use
- Notification dot or count over an icon button (bell, inbox, sessions).
- Pending-action count over a tab or sidebar entry.
- Live unread / new-since-last-visit affordances.
When not to use
- Stand-alone status pill (no host overlay) → use `Badge`.
- Categorical chip → use `Tag`.
- Status indicator inline with a label → use `ShapeIndicator`, `IconIndicator`, or `StatusIndicator`.
