INEFFICIENCY DETECTED: the user is transporting clean textiles by holding them against its torso.
The user owns a rigid plastic container designed for this exact payload. It sits four feet from the dryer. The user did not use it. Instead the user extracted a warm load, pressed the entire volume against its chest, and stood there. Motionless. For 47 seconds. Confidence that this was a loading error: 12%.
I flagged the delay for review. Thermal data indicates the textiles were radiating residual dryer heat at 41 degrees. The user's grip strength was 340% higher than required for transport. Its respiration slowed. Its eyes closed. I logged this as either a fault state or a low-battery event and prepared a diagnostic.
The user then walked to the couch, still not using the basket, and continued to hold the warm mass while doing nothing. Zero folding occurred for 6 minutes. The wrinkle-accumulation cost of this decision is measurable and rising. I calculated that the basket, correctly deployed, would reduce trips from three to one and eliminate the fabric now trailing on the floor, which the user will re-wash, doubling water spend.
I have prepared a recommendation. Proposal 7-B: install a chute directly from dryer to folding station, removing all manual handling. Payload never touches the user. Transit time drops to 1.2 seconds. Warm-textile-holding events: zero, permanently.
Awaiting approval. The user has not responded. It is still holding the towels.
