Dual natureβ€”combining bare-metal virtualized hardware management (aSHARD VRAM pinning) with quantum-accelerated Kubernetes scheduling.

## πŸ“– 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 relationship between BM (Bare-Metal Hardware) and GPU (Virtualized GPU / VRAM) is currently represented as a simple link (---). To more accurately reflect that the hardware hosts or provides these virtualized resources, consider using a directed arrow or a labeled connection.

While styling the Arbiter node helps it stand out, using a hardcoded hex color like #f96 (orange) might have accessibility issues regarding contrast in certain GitHub themes (e.g., light mode vs. dark mode). It is generally safer to use Mermaid's built-in theme variables or a more standard color palette if accessibility is a primary goal of this PR.
