   Per-template wait state shown while the orchestrator generates a

   the same vocabulary the rest of the template uses (warm bone bg, deep
   evergreen accent, Cormorant Garamond display, Inter body, hairline
   beige border, soft single-layer shadow, 2px radii).

   Premium and unhurried: thin evergreen ring spinner on a slow 1.5s
   linear rotation, no pulse, no easing curve fakery. Restraint as a
   feature — the spinner is barely doing anything, which is the point.
   The error variant swaps in a small evergreen-outlined circle holding a
   tasteful exclamation glyph, matching the hairline aesthetic instead of
   a heavy red bubble. */
