Orders
One component for a photobook and for a set of postcards, in the states a reader cannot reach. Everything here is a fixture — no journal, no database, no session — so a fault that shows on this page is a fault in components/order/OrderDocket.tsx or in lib/order/view.ts, and nowhere else.
Accepted, and paid for
The ordinary receipt: one charge, one envelope, one file. Everything else on this page is a variation on it.

With the cover it was ordered with
B1469: the plate is the photograph the owner chose, checked against the disk first — a book whose photograph has since gone shows the block above instead, never a broken image. It is not a render of the printed cover; the title is set over this in the PDF and nothing here draws that.

Being printed
The one yellow pill. Yellow is a fill on this palette and never text, which is why the dot carries it and the chip stays a tint.

Refused, and refunded
The printer had already handed back an order id before refusing — the common shape (B1454). Coral strip, a refund line, a total of zero.

A word we have never mapped
Gelato can add a status tomorrow. It prints raw, untranslated, in the neutral tone — a colour it has not earned would be inventing a fact about somebody's book.

Pruned, and from before the print door
An old book whose PDFs were deleted to make room (B483). No files, no printer, and the page says so rather than offering a download that would 404.

Four cards, waiting for the owner
The only state with an action. The press sits beside the status rather than under the addresses, which is the whole reason the object went left.

Sent as a free sample
B1287 — a dry-run provider, or Stannp with features.postcards.live unset, took the request and posted nothing. The reader is told that in the status pill and the subtitle, never “with the printer.”

Expired unsent
A proposal older than a week. Saying “waiting for you” about something nobody can act on any more would be a lie the page is in a position to avoid.

Refused by the printer
Cards, refunded whole. The same two slots differ as on a refused book, which is the point of there being one component.

Postcards, not sent
From A morning on the bench. Nothing was printed, and your credits have been given back.
The printer refused every card, so nothing was sent and your credits have been given back.
