**Learning:** For infrastructure or backend projects without a functional frontend, the `README.md` serves as the primary User Experience (DX/UX). In these cases, micro-UX improvements shift from ARIA labels to scannability, clarity of project status, and informative (non-redundant) feature lists.

**Action:** Treat the `README.md` as the landing page. Use visual status indicators (badges), scannable bullet points with representative emojis, and ensure that headers provide a clear path for the user to understand the project's utility and maturity.

## 2026-05-20 - Standardized Visual Identity for Core Orchestration Components
**Learning:** In architecture diagrams for the `arbiter` ecosystem, users can more quickly identify the primary orchestration hub when it has a distinct visual style from its dependencies and consumers.

**Action:** When representing the 'Arbiter Core' in Mermaid diagrams, use double-circle syntax `((Arbiter Core))` and apply a high-contrast style: `fill:#f96,stroke-width:4px`.

The standardized visual identity should include an explicit text color to guarantee accessibility. Since #f96 is a light color, specifying color:#000 ensures that the text remains legible regardless of the environment's default text color.

Dual nature—combining bare-metal virtualized hardware management (aSHARD VRAM pinning) with quantum-accelerated Kubernetes scheduling.

## 📖 Overview

`arbiter` is a specialized orchestration layer designed for high-performance computing environments. It bridges the gap between low-level hardware management and cloud-native scheduling, providing a unified interface for managing virtualized resources with precision.

To ensure the architecture diagram remains accessible and readable across different themes (such as GitHub's dark mode), it is recommended to explicitly set the text color for the highlighted node. The current background color (#f96) has poor contrast with white text, which is often the default in dark themes. Adding color:#000 ensures high contrast and better accessibility.
