Spinner

<koala-ellipsis> is a live ellipsis — three dots taking turns rising, the messaging-app typing wave — for a label naming work still in flight. A static "…" reads as a finished sentence; on a row that may sit for half a minute, this is the one quiet signal that the wait is alive. It inherits colour and size from the text it follows, so inside a badge it wears the badge's tone, and it is hidden from screen readers because the words carry the meaning. Reduced motion shows the three dots at rest.
