Spec

Intent

Some moments deserve an ink stamp. A milestone marker records a single shipped artifact with its version, date, and stamper. Designed to read as physical: rotated, slightly off-grid, hard-shadowed.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [ ] Version + verb (e.g. "v0.4.0 SHIPPED") dominant
  • [ ] Date in mono, smaller
  • [ ] Visibly rotated, hard offset shadow

Constraints

  • No JS
  • Theme-aware via tokens
