Overview
A Badge is a small visual indicator used to display status, count, or updates.
It helps draw attention to changes, notifications, or dynamic values in a compact way.
Badges can appear as dots (for status) or count indicators (for quantities).

When to Use / When Not to Use
Use when:
- Indicating status or updates (new, active, error).
- Showing counts or alerts on icons, avatars, or tabs.
- Providing lightweight emphasis for notifications or secondary information.
Avoid when:
- You need descriptive information — use Tag or Chip instead.
- The information is critical — use Alert or Toast.
- The count is dynamic but large (e.g., 1k+ items) — summarize instead.
