CARD-118 / SPEC-044

Compose stage emitting tokens, validator subscribed, ship signal idle. Card moves the moment validate.passed publishes.

FLOW
continuous · signal-driven
Spec

Intent

Surfaces the operational state of a card or spec: in flow. Distinct from "in progress" which is timebox-bound; flow is continuous and signal-driven.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [ ] Diagonal stamp at -8deg over context
  • [ ] Stamp text reads "FLOW"
  • [ ] Negative: does NOT block reading underlying text

Constraints

  • Pure CSS
  • Theme-aware via tokens
