What you'll do

A motorized coop door that Claude Code built the brain for — it opens itself a few minutes after real sunrise for your exact yard and closes a while after dusk once the flock has put itself to bed, stops dead on its own end-stops, reverses instantly if it ever touches a bird or a finger, obeys a manual override toggle, and fails OPEN so it can never trap a chicken — all on a low-voltage battery you can wire yourself.
