This is helpful right now. We are adding a grid view to a product area that has historically been table view only and it's tripping me up with all the little indicators and pieces of text we want to show/hide without growing the container. We've opted to build a WIP design system to experiment using absurd placeholder text like a "Longest name in the world because some people want to..." title component. We don't pay attention to error states as often as we should, but our engineers always ask about them. I think we just assume it's going to work every time, or that it should anyway. To help catch some of this, I do a design review with engineers every sprint. They call out a bunch of "if, then" scenarios that I wouldn't have considered.

Thanks again for writing this, I'll share it with my design team. :)
