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
# Squinch — Diagram Design Language > How rendered diagrams look, and the rules that keep them looking that way. > Companion to [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) (the DSL) and [ENGINEERING.md](ENGINEERING.md) > (budgets, verification). Numbers below were tuned against the > lookbook — but the *rules* are non-negotiable. ## 1. Principles 1. **The default theme is the brand.** Most people will only ever see a screenshot of the default render. `light`/`dark` are the flagship product surface, not a base to customize away from. 2. **The app is the frame; the diagram is the art.** App chrome recedes so the canvas owns the screen (see §10). Diagram themes have their own language, independent of the app skin. 3. **Uniformity beats fit.** Nodes have fixed heights and snapped width tiers; text adapts to the box (wrap → ellipsis → hover for full), never the reverse. No ransom-note diagrams. 4. **Nothing almost-aligned.** Elements share an axis *exactly* or are clearly apart — a 3px offset reads as a mistake, 40px reads as a decision. Exactness is enforced where the author asks for it (`align`, `cols`), and positions are …

How to install
mdr add jquatier/squinch/docs/DESIGN.md@sha256:415475a7e44dc4a9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.88539e4, 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.
