 ## Purpose
 
-Form-field label that pairs descriptive text with an optional `Required` badge. Renders a native `<label>` element so consumers can associate it with any input via the standard `for` attribute. Use it above (or beside) any input control in the `inputs` category to communicate the field name and whether it must be filled.
+Form-field label that pairs descriptive text with an optional required indicator. Renders a native `<label>` element so consumers can associate it with any input via the standard `for` attribute. Use it above (or beside) any input control in the `inputs` category to communicate the field name and whether it must be filled. The required indicator is rendered inline as `* (Required)` — the `*` in the primary orange followed by the parenthesized word "(Required)" in muted text — replacing the older `Tag` badge for a lighter typographic signal.

 - Root is a native `<label>` element; consumers pass `for="<input-id>"` via attrs to associate it with the corresponding control.
 - Keyboard map: not focusable (decorative wrapper for native `<label>` semantics); clicking the label focuses the associated input via native browser behavior.
-- ARIA: the `Required` indicator is the existing `Tag` component (`severity="warning"`, `size="small"`, content `"Required"`) and is visible text — no extra ARIA needed; consumers that wire the input with `aria-required="true"` keep the programmatic state in sync.
+- ARIA: the required indicator is inline text (`* (Required)`). The `*` character is decorative and marked `aria-hidden="true"` so screen readers announce only "(Required)" together with the label text. Consumers that wire the input with `aria-required="true"` keep the programmatic state in sync.
 - Contrast ≥4.5:1 between `var(--text-default)` and `var(--bg-canvas)`; the warning tag inherits its own contrast guarantees.
 - `motion-reduce:transition-none motion-reduce:transform-none` not applicable (no motion).
 - Touch target: label itself is non-interactive; the associated input owns the ≥40×40 px target.
