Optical QC: one station for both presses, after the cooling racks
Deploy test site / deploy (push) Successful in 55s

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.

in-house AQA (2023), which scans sampled records with cameras in the lid

adopter, and it should be budgeted as an integration project. The device

one station checks every record of both presses after the records have
