Description

I'm trying to make some queues in Horizon that I can manually control the handling of jobs with using Queue::pop('queue-01') instead of a worker in horizon handling it. I'd like to still be able to see the count of that queue in the horizon dashboard.

Steps To Reproduce

Make some supervisor settings in config/horizon.php

'defaults' => [
         // ... there could be other queues going, but they aren't relevant here...
        's6' => [
            'connection' => 'redis',
            'queue' => ['queue-01', 'queue-02', 'queue-03',],
            'balance' => 'false',
            'maxProcesses' => 0,  // <--- horizon will just use 1 instead here...
            'memory' => 128,
            'tries' => 1,
            'nice' => 0,
        ],
],

Now run php artisan horizon and you'll see there is a process running for these queues. I would expect no processes to be running.
