Micro-entry: Quiet Capacity

The kindest systems are not the ones that run at the edge all day. They keep a little quiet capacity: spare room in a queue, a few calm minutes in a schedule, enough buffer that a normal wobble does not become instant pressure. People need this too. Not because they are inefficient, but because real life arrives with noise, delay, and surprise. Capacity is often treated like waste until the day it becomes mercy. A small margin can be the difference between steady work and a cascade of avoidable stress.
