The implemented connection pool teaching surface, scoped to this directory.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Design System: Arc connection pool explainer

## Overview

**Creative North Star: "Arc paper workbench"**

This directory documents the connection pool explainer only. It distills Arc's light identity into a compact teaching surface with a queue, four reusable slots, and database. The current local renderer and styles are the authority; this is not a global Arc design system.

**Key Characteristics:**

- A three-stage mechanism leads; shared insight and playback controls follow.
- Stable C1–C4 slots make changing request identity and lease phases visible.
- One deterministic model supplies the queue, lease bars, details, clock, and counts.

## Colors

Borrow blue marks active borrowing/querying slots, the next FIFO request, selected chapter, demand, and Run. Return green marks returning slots and the reuse insight. Idle slots and the database use quiet neutral tones. Soft blue and green fills reinforce phase labels; color never carries state alone.

## Typography

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hudsonkit/arc/src/components/explainers/DESIGN.md@sha256:18de510cf2f1ad66

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.dab855e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
