 ### `<x-badge>`
 
 - `<x-badge />` — M3's small badge, a dot. `<x-badge value="4" max="99" />` — M3's large badge, a count. Both `error` by default. `floating` pins it to the top-end corner of a `relative` parent: `<span class="relative inline-flex"><x-icon name="mail" /><x-badge value="4" floating /></span>`. A dot or count is `aria-hidden` unless it has a `label`; name the control instead ("Messages, 4 unread").
-- `<x-badge value="Expired" tonal />`, `<x-badge value="Active" color="success" tonal />`, `<x-badge value="Pro" outline />` — a status label (not an M3 badge) in the colour's container or a neutral edge. `color` (alias `tone`): `error` default, `primary`, `secondary`, `tertiary`, `success`, `warning`, `info`, `neutral`, `plain`; an unknown colour is `error`.
+- `<x-badge value="Expired" tonal />`, `<x-badge value="Active" color="success" tonal />`, `<x-badge value="Built in" color="primary" solid />`, `<x-badge value="Pro" outline />` — a status label (not an M3 badge) in the colour's container, in the colour itself (`solid`, for a label that has to stand out), or a neutral edge. `color` (alias `tone`): `error` default, `primary`, `secondary`, `tertiary`, `success`, `warning`, `info`, `neutral`, `plain`; an unknown colour is `error`.
 - `color="neutral"` — neutral ink on every variant: a dot or count in on-surface-variant with surface text, `tonal` in surface-container-high with on-surface-variant text, `outline` in the outline-variant edge with on-surface-variant text.
 - `color="plain"` — no background, text or border colour in any variant (shape, size and type stay), so the classes you pass paint it: `<x-badge value="Run" tonal color="plain" class="bg-tertiary-container text-on-tertiary-container" />`. Pass both a background and a text class; an `outline` badge's edge takes the text colour unless you pass a `border-*` colour.
 - The value is `value` or the slot; the slot renders as HTML: `<x-badge tonal><x-icon name="bolt" class="size-3" /> Pro</x-badge>`. `value` is escaped. A slot that holds only whitespace or comments is still a dot.
