Optical QC: one station for both presses, after the cooling racks

User, 18 Oct 2026: for now one QC station for both machines; let the records cool in a queue before testing them. - inline-optical-qc.md "Where it sits": launch setup. Spindle stacks from the Duplex system and the Classic, labelled at the press (press, stamper set, first and last cycle), cool in FIFO racks (24 h accepted practice, 8 h at the shortest, Stamper Discs; about one day of output, 2,800 to 3,100 records); the finishing operator feeds the station from the cooled stacks. Gains: warp and centring measured on settled records (the release value), one station instead of two, no Classic unloader change, no warm-record sag or thermal camera. Cost: defects found hours later, covered by the Duplex operator, per-cycle telemetry and an early lane for the first records of each run and after stamper changes. Record key from the stack label and stack position, checked against the run-out stamper number. Capacity 10 to 12 a minute against 5 to 6: one station to about two Duplex systems and two Classics. A station at each press stays the later option. Cost table, open points, infeed row, thermal camera note and the Newbilt question follow. - Fleet calculator: the per-press stations and the release station are gone; the finishing block shows the cooling racks with record stacks and the one optical station by the corridor glass; tooltips, corridor and conveyor texts; machine park back to its legend, finishing box "cooling, QC, packing". - quality-automation.md layer 1, digital-factory.md QC row, process-flow.md stage 6, site-candidates.md block ground floor, crane-workshop-tours.md tour stop 6. - Investor render: infeed label "the operator sets each cooled record down". Checks: node --check; pw_bp_calc.py 0 fails; pw_iso_view_check.py OK; info for every data-id at all presets, levels and rotations; GF nodes 2,414 at the full preset; zoomed shots in two rotations.
