refactor: enhance admin panel styling with better card patterns

- Dashboard: use admin-card for sections, refine progress bars and action badges
- Applications: enhanced card styling with p-3 and better text hierarchy
- Emulator: convert remaining 'card' classes to 'admin-card'
- All changes eliminate inline styles and use consistent Tailwind patterns
