# MVP-TASK-017 — Active count and busy queue

**Status:** Done  
**Parent:** MVP-KDS-001-S07–S08

## Objective and required behavior

Keep every order individually represented and the total active count visible/accurate around a
15-order service queue without treating 15 as a maximum.

## Scope, areas, and non-goals

Expected queue layout/query/component and tablet E2E fixtures. No pagination that hides individual
active orders, performance optimization without evidence, or multi-station partitioning.

## Evidence and acceptance

Use both IDs in component/tablet E2E with approximately 15 deterministic orders. Accept when count
and order representations update correctly and remain operationally reachable, traceability is
current, and inherited DoD passes. Handoff records any practical layout limitation.
