Accessibility
- Provide meaningful `alt` text for images that convey a person's identity; use an empty alt value for purely decorative images.
- Include useful fallback content so the avatar remains understandable when an image is unavailable.
- The badge is a plain span, so provide accessible text or an appropriate accessible label when it communicates status or other information.
- For avatar groups, give each informative image an appropriate text alternative; ensure any count communicates its meaning in context.
