When to use

  • Inline status of an entity in a row, card, or detail view (Active / Idle / Error / Pending).
  • Anywhere the user needs a quick visual read on real-time state.
  • In tables, place the indicator in its own status column for fast scanning.

When not to use

  • Counts or short pill-shaped numbers ("12 items", "NEW") → use `Badge`.
  • Categorical tagging (project: SemSeg, type: 3D box) → use `Tag`.
  • AI / generated content marker → use `AILabel` or `Slug`.
  • Transient feedback after an action → use `Notification`.
