This commit enhances the project's documentation by:
- Adding descriptive alt-text to repository badges for better screen reader accessibility.
- Introducing a high-visibility GitHub Alert to clearly communicate the project's experimental status.
- Adding a styled Mermaid architecture diagram to provide a visual overview of the orchestration layers.
- Following project visual standards for the "Arbiter" core component in the diagram.
