While adding title attributes provides tooltips for mouse users, screen readers primarily rely on the alt attribute (the text inside the square brackets). To improve accessibility as intended, the descriptive information should be included in the alt text. This is especially important for the experimental status badge, as the "Not recommended for production use" warning is currently only in the title and may be missed by assistive technologies.

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.

The Mermaid diagram is a significant visual addition but lacks an accessible alternative for users with visual impairments. Since accessibility is a stated goal of this PR, consider adding a brief text-based summary of the architecture flow immediately following the diagram to ensure the information is available to all users via screen readers.
