QC queue: what is waiting on a person to watch the frames, oldest first.
Every stage before QC is worked by the farm, so this is the only one that
cannot drain itself - depth here is the best early warning that a delivery
date is going to move, and it had no home outside a filter on the queue page.
Deliveries: the last few packages, flagging FAILED and builds stuck in
BUILDING. A failed build is otherwise silent - the exports stay
READY_FOR_DELIVERY, nothing reaches the delivery volume, and nobody finds out
until the client asks where the shots are.
Whose court: versions sent to the client and unanswered, against shots with
unresolved notes. Two numbers rather than one because they call for opposite
responses - a fortnight-old review is a phone call, unactioned notes are a
scheduling problem.
The artist view now scopes to the artist throughout: the blocked list, and
the counters above it, which otherwise quoted a studio-wide figure next to a
personal list.

Turns "23 shots to go" into "you are not going to make it". One card per
episode from EpisodeDueDate (or the project's own date on a standard show):
days left, the episode's shots by where they actually are, and the only
comparison that matters - shots per day still needed against shots per day
the studio managed over the last week.
A shot counts as delivered when it appears in a DeliveryItem inside a
DELIVERED EXR_DELIVERY package. Shot.status is deliberately not the measure:
it says where the work is, not whether the client has the frames, and a
MOV_REVIEW package ships nothing.
The pace arithmetic is a pure function so the sentence a producer acts on is
testable: a rate that only just lands on the due date reports as "no slack"
rather than fine, and a week with no deliveries reports as stalled instead of
projecting infinity.

The dashboard was a generic task-manager view of a studio that does not work
that way. Two of its five headline numbers counted Task.dueDate, which no
pipeline code writes - the only writer is a manual field on the task detail
page, so those cards read zero by construction. The rest were unscoped and
cumulative ("approved" across every project ever finished), the activity feed
was the notification table, and the shot queue sampled 15 rows by updatedAt,
a column the farm touches constantly. Nothing about failed exports, QC depth
or the render farm appeared at all, so a RENDER_FAILED was only visible if
someone thought to open the queue and filter for it.
Replaced with pipeline state, which the system maintains on its own:
- Blocked queue: the four failed statuses plus exports that stopped
progressing, each with the reason read off the actual cause - the failing
validation check, the QC note, the aerender error, or the machine that
claimed it and went quiet.
- Farm strip: machines, queue depth by job type, oldest unclaimed job, and
worker-version drift, since a worker's version decides which fixes it has.
- Five counters that can go down, scoped to live productions, each linking to
the rows it counted.
The queue page ignored ?status=, so the counters had nowhere to link; it now
takes an initial filter from the URL. Stat cards are hidden from CLIENT users
- the old ones were generic version counts, these are internal pipeline state.
Thresholds live in SystemConfig (dashboard.qcStaleHours, .stalledJobHours) so
they can be tuned without a redeploy.
