     The About panel reads as premium liquid glass because a warm ember/sage
     bloom sits directly BEHIND it for its backdrop-filter to refract. The other
     light-glass clusters (Systems, Built-on, the featured demo frame) had no
     bloom, so they read as flat frosted white. These blooms give them the same
     color to refract — so the glass "comes alive" site-wide, like image 1.
     Blooms sit at z-index:-1 behind the cards' white fill, so text contrast is
     unchanged. The dark worlds (Process, demo backend) are deliberately excluded.
     Same isolation:isolate + ::before z-index:-1 pattern the Process world uses. */
