Lifecycle Cards Grid: Interactive cards detailing individual state machine specifications:
- Status Pills: Color-coded badges mapping valid entity statuses (e.g., Draft, Placed, Pending, Success, Failed, Cancelled).
- State Transitions: Step-by-step rule listings detailing initial states, target states, transition actions, and assigned actors (e.g., draft → placed via Place Order by customer; placed → store_accepted by store-partner).
