Paired doorway beams with nonresettable counters record sealed-container entries and exits; rack feet incorporate calibrated load cells; fixed bay rulers and mechanical fill flags show occupied tray-equivalent volume; and every overflow location remains inside the measured boundary. Create separately locked intake-quarantine, active-hold, disposition-ready, and outbound bays. Only containers carrying independently valid disposition authority may enter the disposition-ready bay. Within that bay, lockable flow-through racks with mechanical stops present the earliest authorized container at the pick face, reducing search and handling time without altering legal priority. Weekly readings reconcile opening container count, tray-equivalent volume, and load against entries, returns, authorized exits, transfers, packaging conversions, and residuals. A provisional target is 55–70% of usable bay volume, a warning occurs at 80% or any rated-load margin, and the physical system may not exceed the certified limit. Warning status authorizes inspection of hidden reservoirs and additional scheduled retrieval sessions for already-authorized removals, but never disposal or intake restriction.
