Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tag / status tag | Choose tag when the label is compact, read-only, attached to a visible object, and useful for scanning or comparison. | A read-only tag does not receive focus, show hover affordance, expose pressed or selected state, or claim click behavior. | GOV.UK documents tags as non-interactive status indicators with adjective labels and task-list status examples. |
