A compact severity queue sits beside an incident detail workspace with ownership, service impact, timeline, and runbook actions.

Composition principles

Keep the incident queue stable while details change. Reserve the strongest emphasis for severity, customer impact, current owner, and the next required response action.

Behavior and access

Keyboard users can move through the queue and actions in a predictable order. Filters announce result counts, status changes require confirmation, and live updates do not steal focus.

Engineering boundaries

Use server-authoritative incident state, explicit timestamps, and append-only timeline events. Virtualize only when the measured queue size requires it, and preserve accessible table semantics.
