- No obstructions (light fixtures, handrails, trim, furniture) in the path
- Door opens fully (90° or more) and stays open during passage
- Some dimensions were estimated — not provided by you. Verify before proceeding.
- Real-world factors (trim, baseboards, hardware) may reduce available clearance.
- Estimated depth, height from local_db (depth, height not provided by user)

Step-by-step proof (best: 18×34")
1. Width: 18" item ≤ 54" opening → ✓ (36" clearance)
2. Height: 34" item ≤ 80" opening → ✓ (46" clearance)
Limiting: height at 36"
