Additional Context

After Restart Fully Kiosk Browser, Alarmo also not shown

I saw also this message ; [LCARdSElbow] Cannot setup interactivity - .elbow-bg element not found

Thanks for reporting - I will look into it.
That other warning message about .elbow-bg is ok I need to fix that, but it doesn't' affect this.

OK this is a lazy-load issue with the HA cards. The dash doesn't load and make them available unless you a) open the card-picker once so it loads the element, or b) have the alarm card on the dashboard (not nested in another card) and HA loads it.

I will look into this further and see what we can do to make these builtin cards available on first load when they are symbiont.
