## Usage Notes

* Prefer this component over local one-off UI for matching product states.
* Keep new variants represented in Storybook before adding docs references here.
* Use token-backed colors, spacing, radius, and shadows from [Foundations](/architecture/design-system/foundations).

## Accessibility Notes

* Preserve keyboard and focus behavior from the source component.
* Any icon-only controls must provide an accessible label in consuming product code.
* Validate color contrast in both Equa dark and light theme screenshots before release.
