Summary: A static ⋯ glyph with a worded label inside an aria-busy container; inline next to text or as a centred block. There is no spinner.

Use the pinned approved default profile. Pending roles in that profile use-and-report their decision IDs; this does not approve them. Proposed profiles are preview-only and blocked for delivery. Heritage profiles are historical-only. Deprecated or heritage roles are blocked for new approved-profile mappings. Consume roles within their documented scope, never primitives. Release numbering does not approve profiles or tokens.
Tokens (resolved):
  glyph.text    #bd787d  ({color.text.muted})  use
  label.text    #e99499  ({color.text.default})  use
  block.bg      #100c0c  ({color.surface.default})  use
  block.border  #2b0e0d  ({color.border.divider})  use-and-report (D-008)

States: default, reduced-motion
  default: the static ⋯ and the label [`aria-busy="true"`; the glyph; the worded label]
  reduced-motion: identical: there is nothing to reduce [`prefers-reduced-motion`]

Keyboard:
  Tab: Nothing; the indicator is not focusable and never traps focus; the content it replaces keeps its tab stops when it returns.

ARIA: native container with aria-busy=true and role=status; the glyph is aria-hidden and the label carries the meaning (https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/alert/)
Responsive: Inline, it follows the text and wraps with it; the block centres in its container at any width and needs no minimum height beyond one row. RTL leaves the glyph in place, since ⋯ has no direction.
Portability: a <span role=status aria-busy=true> inline or a <div role=status aria-busy=true> block; the glyph is text; the label is the announcement; aria-busy is removed, and the label replaced by the result, when loading ends.
  native: GTK4 Label with the glyph; no Spinner widget.
  native: Qt QLabel; QProgressBar busy mode only when a bar is wanted.
  native: Terminal UI: the glyph in the status line.

Rules: use only these values; no invented colours; radius 0; borders 1px (2px emphasis); focus is a 1px dashed ring, selection is a fill;
do not restyle unrelated elements; report deviations per agents/consume.md; record theme.lock.json at the pinned revision.
