Awaiting threat-review.signed from governance. Upstream queue depth 2. No work in progress on this card since the signal arms.

BLOCKED
signal unmet
Spec

Intent

Blocked is the complement of flow: a card that cannot advance because its trigger signal is unmet. Surfacing it loudly is half the cure.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [ ] Diagonal stamp at -10deg over context
  • [ ] Stamp text reads "BLOCKED"
  • [ ] Danger-token accent
  • [ ] Negative: does NOT obscure the blocker reason text

Constraints

  • Pure CSS
  • Theme-aware via tokens
