Cable Comb V1
implemented unverified
Desk cable comb: a molded bar whose top edge carries N open slots. Each slot is a circular resting cavity (cable diameter + clearance) reached through a throat narrower than the cable, so a pushed-in cable snaps past and stays. The throat width is set exactly by the cavity arc's endpoint angles — measured, not hoped for. Adhesive mount.
Built from a real example — orbit to inspect.
