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

# Canonry Dashboard Design System

This file is the durable UI contract for humans and coding agents. Read it with
`PRODUCT.md` before changing `apps/web`.

## Scene and register

Canonry is a professional desktop analytics tool used by an operator scanning
dense evidence on a monitor for extended periods. The default dark theme must
remain restrained, high contrast, and quiet. Design serves the task.

## Information hierarchy

Every page should reduce to this order:

1. A compact title and optional one-sentence subtitle. On project pages at md
   and up, the topbar breadcrumb's project name is the visible compact title.
2. Current readiness or state.
3. One primary action, only when action is required.
4. The primary chart or table.
5. History, methodology, and diagnostics behind disclosure.

Do not repeat a page choice through cards, tabs, and headings. One control owns
each choice.

## Copy

- Page subtitles are optional, one sentence, and normally no more than 90
  characters.
- Do not restate the heading in the subtitle.
- Labels use customer language: `Recent jobs`, not process commentary;
  `Connections`, not authentication architecture.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add canonry/canonry/DESIGN.md@sha256:474f934198c63aeb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.862ea14, 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.
