Adds reusable Corbits thinking indicators so apps can use the Silk horizontal sweep, Strata upward scan, or Echo waves through a variant prop.

ThinkingIndicator pairs the animated mark with an accessible status label. ThinkingMark supports standalone use with class-based sizing. Both support pause, preserve the shared logo geometry, and show a static highlight for reduced motion. Includes package exports, usage documentation, and Ladle stories.

Validation:

• bun run build
• bun run typecheck
• bun run lint
• bun run dep-guard
• bun test: 336 passed, zero failures
• Browser checks of rendering, inline spacing, and pause/play

Clean-install validation passed using the npm tarball in two empty consumer projects:

• React 19 with Vite: production build and browser rendering of all three variants
• Next.js 16: production build and prerendering with a server component and a consumer-owned client boundary for the animated components
• No browser console errors in either consumer
• Packed exports, type declarations, animation CSS, and reduced-motion rules present
• Tree-shaking: single-component bundle 62,251 bytes; all-exports bundle 466,635 bytes
• Both consumers build without the optional React Query peer

Thanks for this — the three variants look great and the useId-keyed masks are the right call. Two things before merge:

1. Hardcoded hexes in thinking-mark.tsx. fill="#e98428" is light-mode --primary — under .dark, --primary is #bf6b20, so the sweep paints the wrong orange in dark mode. Same for fill-[#77716a] / dark:fill-[#aaa39a]. House rule (ARCHITECTURE.md standing patterns): theme.css is the only place a hex lives; components consume tokens (fill-primary, plus a token for the base gray). This is the same bug class the audit previously fixed in DitherCanvas.
2. No test. Every sibling PR ships one — even a renderToStaticMarkup assert on role="status", aria-hidden on the mark, and the variant classes would cover the contract.

README section and the reduced-motion static frames in theme.css are good.

@TheGreatAxios The requested fixes are now in ebf13b2: the mark uses dark-aware theme tokens, and a focused rendering/accessibility test covers all variants. Could you re-review when you have a moment?

Review pass — maintainer fixes applied on top of 5ff5ac8

The rebase onto post-prune main and the --thinking-base token migration were already in — the token work held up (no raw hex remains; fill-thinking-base/fill-primary drive everything).

Review findings — resolved in 83c0323

• Fragile delay encoding (emil): the second echo circle encoded -1.8s as a separate animation-delay utility — the animation shorthand in the other class could reset it depending on emission order. The delay now lives inside the shorthand (corbits-thinking-wave_3.6s_..._-1.8s_infinite); verified in the built dist/styles.css.
• paused untested (emil): test asserts the play-state utility renders.
• Reduced-motion echo fallback untested (emil): test asserts motion-reduce:hidden on the second wave.
• Geometry duplication (emil): the static reduced-motion poses in theme.css depend on the SVG geometry in thinking-mark.tsx — a comment now pins that coupling since CSS can't import TS constants.

Kept as designed: role="status" + aria-hidden mark, useId()-scoped defs, transform-origin, clean loop seams, and all three variants (Silk/Strata/Echo) — product decision is to ship the set.
