task_kind was only visible inside the task editor's Kind select, so every
list surface rendered work, issue and spike identically and a list of tasks
hid the fact that three different things were in it.
ONE component, not a fifth spelling. The badge layer had already drifted —
StatusBadge.vue is the recorded canon (#2960) but WorkspaceTaskPanel,
ProjectView and KnowledgeView each carry their own scoped `.status-badge`.
KindBadge is modelled on PriorityBadge, its closest sibling, which already
does the thing that matters here: the DEFAULT value renders nothing. `work`
is most tasks, so badging it would put a chip on nearly every row and say
nothing — the same reason RuleListPane marks only `conditional`.
COLOUR BY TEMPERATURE, measured rather than eyeballed. Issue and spike are
opposite in character — corrective vs exploratory — so they split warm
(warning) against cool (info), which survives being small and stays
distinguishable without reading the word. Neither uses the accent; kind is
not one of the places it is allowed.
The raw semantic colour FAILS the contrast floor on the dark palette:
warning on its own 12% tint measures 2.97:1 against AA's 4.5. So the text is
the hue mixed toward --fs-text-primary, which passes and, because that token
inverts by mode, follows light/dark for free. Measured both ways — issue
5.23:1 dark / 6.68:1 light, spike 5.33:1 / 9.26:1.
`plan` renders hue-free and italic: retired since 0066, so a legacy row
should read as archival rather than as a fourth kind competing for
attention. In KnowledgeView it is passed as null instead, because the type
badge beside it already says "Plan" and two chips reading the same word
would look like two facts.
Weight is 500, not the 600 the two older badges use — the house style allows
400 and 500 only, and copying 600 would spread it.
SERVER FIX, without which this was decorative: dashboard's `_task_row`
omitted task_kind entirely. The badge would have rendered nothing there
while working everywhere else, which reads as "this list has no issues"
rather than as a missing field. The guard is on the payload, where the
omission was.
Surfaces: ProjectView's three status columns, WorkspaceTaskPanel's two task
lists, DashboardView's milestone and no-milestone rows, KnowledgeView's
result rows.
