 That means:
 - board and queue reads come from persisted kitchen tickets plus lifecycle-derived ticket materialization for newly accepted restaurant orders
+- derived kitchen IDs now use the full order identity so runtime projections stay collision-safe across similar order numbers
 - claim and priority changes update persisted kitchen ticket state
 - ticket transitions update both kitchen tickets and the linked restaurant order lifecycle
 - accepted orders can become kitchen-visible without waiting for a stack reset or a second write path
