andros 9ddd118a49 Redesign UI with flat retro Emacs aesthetic
Replace standard iOS components with a terminal-inspired design:
monospaced typography throughout, flat square borders, Emacs-style
modeline header, filetag keyword format (:kw1:kw2:), and custom
flat form replacing the iOS Form component. Set Emacs as default
theme. Replace non-Emacs demo notes with Emacs ecosystem content
and rename screenshots.
