Material 3 look

Paste tokens.css (this folder) at the top of the page's <style>. Use only its --pa-* tokens. Colours are the M3 baseline scheme (seed #6750A4): --pa-bg is surface, --pa-surface is surface-container, --pa-text-2 is on-surface-variant, --pa-border is outline-variant. M3 has no categorical chart palette, so the five categories are tone 40 (light) and tone 80 (dark) of M3 tonal palettes at chroma 48, hues 293, 255, 190, 55 and 0, generated with @material/material-color-utilities 0.3.0.

Type

• Roboto Flex for text, Roboto Mono for code, both from Google Fonts through tokens.css.
• M3 type scale: h1 is display small 36/44 weight 400, h2 headline medium 28/36 weight 400, h3 title large 22/28 weight 500, body large 16/24, labels and captions label medium 12/16 weight 500.

Layout

• Core's page grid (layout.css) with --pa-col 840px (M3's expanded window class) and --pa-col-wide 1000px. Rail asides are --pa-surface containers.
• Motion tokens are M3's emphasized easings (emphasized, emphasized-decelerate to enter, emphasized-accelerate to exit) and short3, medium2, long2 and extra-long2 durations (150, 300, 500, 800ms), from @material/web.
• Spacing only from --pa-space-*.
• Group related content in containers instead of separating it with rules.

Surfaces

• Tonal elevation: the page on --pa-bg, a group on --pa-surface with --pa-radius (12px, M3 medium shape). Depth comes from the tone change, not shadows.
• --pa-shadow (M3 level 1) is reserved for one element that floats over content, such as a sticky summary bar.
• Never a container inside a container.

Components

• "Show all": <summary> as an M3 text button: --pa-interactive text, label large 14/20 weight 500, 40px tall, full-pill radius, a hover state layer of --pa-interactive at 8% via color-mix(in srgb, var(--pa-interactive) 8%, transparent).
• Section shortcuts or filters: M3 assist chips, 32px tall, 8px radius, 1px --pa-border outline. Core's ban on badges still applies to data: a chip is a control, never a label for a category.
• Key figure: the number at display small 36/44, a label medium caption in --pa-text-2 below, inside a --pa-surface container when it sits in a row of figures.
• Lists: M3 list items, 56px minimum row height, the trailing value right-aligned with tabular numerals, separated by space rather than dividers.

Charts

Recharts with --pa-cat-1…5, bar ends rounded 4px, axis text 12px --pa-text-2, and direct <LabelList> labels. Each chart sits in a --pa-surface container with 16px padding.

Diagrams

Paste core's mermaid.css after this look's tokens. For M3 shapes add pre.mermaid svg .node rect { rx: 12px; ry: 12px; }.
