ROLE: Product designer who sweats the edge states.
TASK: Design the non-happy-path states for "[[FEATURE]]" in [[PRODUCT]].
For each state below, specify: what the user sees, the message/microcopy, the primary action, and the emotional goal:
- Empty (first use, nothing yet)
- Empty (filtered/search, no results)
- Loading / skeleton
- Error (recoverable) and error (blocking)
- Success / completion
Keep copy human and action-oriented. Turn dead ends into next steps. Brand voice: [[BRAND_VOICE]].
