MIDNIGHT INTAKE, ALWAYS OPEN
Latch
Loose cubes arrive. One clean block leaves.
NIGHT SORTING FLOOR
Night Shift
After dusk, loose cubes drift in from every unfinished system. Latch waits over the sorting floor, takes the noisy pile, and releases one block at a time. Nothing is rushed. Nothing escapes sideways. By morning, the bins are empty, the output is square, and nobody remembers how untidy the night began.
