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
# Quarry Design Decision Log This file is the authoritative record of design decisions, prior approaches, and their outcomes. **Every design change must be logged here before implementation.** For system architecture, module responsibilities, configuration, and deployment, see [`docs/architecture.tex`](docs/architecture.tex). For user-facing documentation, see [README.md](README.md). For test tiers, counts, and strategy, see [`docs/architecture.tex`](docs/architecture.tex) §15. ## Rules 1. Before proposing ANY design change, consult this log for prior decisions on the same topic. 2. Do not revisit a settled decision without new evidence. 3. Log the decision, alternatives considered, and outcome. --- ## DES-001: Fire-and-Forget MCP Pattern **Date:** 2026-02-08 **Status:** SETTLED **Topic:** How side-effect MCP tools handle latency ### Design Side-effect MCP tools (ingest, delete, sync, register, deregister, remember) return an optimistic response immediately and process in a bounded `ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4)`. …

How to install
mdr add punt-labs/quarry/DESIGN.md@sha256:e75a2d335243d049The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.93bdf96, 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.
