ClinicalStatus

ClinicalStatus is the type of the status axis. Anything that renders urgency takes a value of this type and nothing else, and that means a pill, a banner, a range or a result card. It is a closed union with four members, and it is closed on purpose: a system that lets a product add a fifth level has no ordinal scale, and an alarm-fatigue budget you can extend is not a budget.

How this is generated

Source: the published declaration of the @opsinjs/react package. Script: scripts/build-reference.mts. Command: pnpm run generate.

The package does not exist yet, so the block below is a specification, written by hand and marked as one. It is here because links point at it and a broken link is a worse answer than an honest stub. It is not an API, it has not been implemented, and generating code against it will produce an import that does not resolve.

/**
 * SPECIFICATION. Not implemented, not published.
 * The four ordinal clinical status levels, defined in
 * health/clinical-status-semantics.
 */
export type ClinicalStatus = "steady" | "watch" | "attention" | "urgent"

The values are ordinal and ordered as written; comparison helpers, if any ship, will be documented on their own pages rather than added to this union. The meanings, the tone each level requires, the sentence patterns and the list of things each level must never be read as are doctrine and live on Clinical status semantics. The reason this type may never be combined with a category on one element is The two colour axes.

ClinicalStatus

What a reading means and what, if anything, to do about it.

Four levels, ordered. This is the ONLY status vocabulary in the system: the documentation chrome's callouts, the product's status pills and the dev warnings all use these four words, so a developer reading a Callout in these docs is reading the same vocabulary they will ship.

A level is assigned by the consuming product from a reference range or a threshold that the product owns. opsinjs never assigns one, because opsinjs does not know the reader.
