Meaning in graphics work
An exception queue holds situations needing attention because they differ from an expected rule, state or result. It supports accountable response to meaningful problems.
It differs from an endless notification feed. Repeated unchanged messages can obscure new issues unless the queue preserves state, owner and a useful next action.
Example and practical consequence
A late asset return, rejected import row or conflicting proof decision can enter an exception queue. Each needs an explanation of the affected record and the action required, rather than an unexplained warning counter.
Group repeat observations appropriately and record resolution evidence. Escalate according to an agreed policy, keeping healthy unchanged states quiet. The queue should help responsible people repair or reconcile work; closing an alert alone cannot fabricate physical receipt, accepted repair or a successful result that the underlying workflow has not confirmed.

- Attach each exception to its affected record, owner and next action.
