The compact representation of every active order beyond the detailed window.
The detailed slips own the room the operator is cooking from. Every later order still has to
be represented — an order the queue read returned never disappears from the operator's view
— so it gets its own entry here instead of being dropped or merged into a shared counter.
The entry deliberately carries one short line, because its job is recognition ("which order is
waiting for me, and what is in it"), not cooking, and cooking happens once the order reaches
the detailed window.
A queue number is preferred; an item fingerprint is the fallback. The optional queue number
is exactly what the operator calls out at the counter, so when the order has one, that number
is the whole entry. Formatting is preserved verbatim: 01 stays 01. When the order has none,
the entry shows the short fingerprint of its captured items, truncated safely when the items
are long. Nothing is ever fabricated to fill the empty case — no placeholder dash, no running
counter, and never the internal order identity.
Each order is a separate list item, so the entries stay individually countable and navigable,
and the group is announced as what it is rather than as more of the upcoming slips.
The quantity marker 2x is intentionally not translated: it is a language-neutral kitchen
shorthand, it costs two characters in a deliberately short line, and the item labels it precedes
are untranslated snapshot data anyway.
