docs(character): v2 Dr. Flask model sheet — the 90s spoof, approved
v2 redesign: cartoon mascot with googly eyes, askew mortarboard, yellow bow tie,
lab coat, pointer stick, white gloves. Identity refreshed (Ph.D. Self-Certified,
Specialty: Server Chemistry, Height: One Flask Tall, 'No Degree Required'), with
the Clippy homage written into the board notes ('Appears whenever you need him.
Sometimes when you don't.'). New expression/posture/gesture sets recorded; v1
sheet marked superseded.
