# Aster Component Implementation Prompt — Badge

## 1. Component Purpose & Canonical Role
- **Component:** Badge (`badge`)
- **Category:** Data Display
- **Native Element:** `<span>`
- **Summary:** A small label for a status or category.
- **When to Use:** Status cells in tables, card headers, and metadata tags.
- **When Not to Use:** Interactive clickable actions (use Button).

## 2. Authoritative Repository Files
- **Component CSS:** `components/badge/badge.css`
- **Component Spec:** `docs/components/badge.md`

- **Compiled Bundle:** `dist/css/aster.css` and `dist/js/aster.js`

## 3. Canonical HTML Structure & Classes
```html
<span class="as-badge as-badge--success">
  <span class="as-badge__dot"></span>Healthy
</span>
<span class="as-badge as-badge--warning">
  <span class="as-badge__dot"></span>Rebalancing
</span>
<span class="as-badge as-badge--critical">Degraded</span>
```

## 4. Measured Geometry
Measured from the rendered component when this page loads.

## 5. Non-Negotiable Aster Constraints
1. **Zero Primitive Color Leaks:** Bind colors strictly to `--as-semantic-color-*` custom properties. Never use `--as-color-primitive-*` or hardcoded hex values in component usage.
2. **Minimum 4px Radius Policy:** Never use `2px` border-radius. Use `--as-radius-sm` (`4px`), `--as-radius-md` (`8px`), `--as-radius-lg` (`12px`), or `--as-radius-full` (`9999px`).
3. **Single Standard Density Mode:** Compact mode (`data-density="compact"` / `.as-*--compact`) is permanently retired. Do not emit compact classes or attributes.
4. **WCAG 2.2 AA Accessibility:** Maintain >= 4.5:1 text contrast, >= 3:1 UI/border contrast, >= 24x24px interactive hit targets, and full keyboard operability (`Tab`, `Enter`, `Space`, `Escape`, Arrow keys).

## 6. Verification Commands
