Two looks were somebody else's language spoken well, and neither was the
product's. A dashboard nobody has dressed yet should look like the rest
of the app, so there is now a third set that follows the root
DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md to the letter — `--card` surfaces told from the page
by a hairline and a low shadow rather than by colour, every control a
pill, 16px panels, frosted floating chrome, one slate-blue accent spent
on what a person can act on — and it is what `look` means when nothing
says otherwise.

That also turns the exemption the other way round. The dashboard is still
allowed to look unlike the product; it just no longer does so by default.
An existing dashboard, which has never named a look, lands on the design
it had before any of this.

Restraint is the style rather than an omission here: no ripple, no glow,
no lift, and a press answered by the colour changing. The one deliberate
departure is the selector, which holds its choice in `--primary` rather
than the `--accent` the segmented rule asks for — that is a decision
about the widget, not about the look, and a control must not change what
it signals when the drawing changes. All three sets hold it the same way.

### Look
**Material** lays flat, tonal cards on a plain ground. **Glass** floats
translucent tiles over a soft, slowly moving one. They are two complete sets of
components, not two stylesheets — but they are the same dashboard: every widget,
every control and every keystroke behaves identically, so switching look never
changes what a panel can do.
**Fluksio** is the app's own design — `--card` surfaces separated by a hairline
and a low shadow, pill controls, one slate-blue accent — and is what a dashboard
wears until you choose otherwise. **Material** lays flat, tonal cards on a plain
ground. **Glass** floats translucent tiles over a soft, slowly moving one.
