# Task 1.6 — Login page

**Phase:** 1 — Foundation
**Status:** ⬜ Not started
**Depends on:** 1.5
**Wiki refs:** `docs/wiki/entities/react-spa.md` §Auth pattern

## Goal

A clean, single-screen login page. Email + password fields, validation via zod + react-hook-form, submit calls `useAuthStore.login(...)`, error state surfaces a humanised message under the form, success redirects to the intended destination (or `/` if none).

The look-and-feel target is "professional, not flashy" — race operators logging in on stage day shouldn't be wondering whether the page is broken. Use shadcn/ui's `Card` + `Input` + `Label` + `Button` + `Alert` primitives installed in 1.2.

## Deliverables

- `src/ui/pages/login.tsx`:
  - A centred card on a plain background.
  - "TRM" or "Time Racing Management" header (whatever brand text is agreed; can be a placeholder for now).
  - Email field (type `email`, autocomplete `username`).
  - Password field (type `password`, autocomplete `current-password`).
  - "Sign in" button.
  - Validation: email must be valid format; password must be ≥ 1 character (Directus enforces real password rules; we don't duplicate them client-side).
  - Submit handler calls `useAuthStore.getState().login(email, password)`. While the call is in flight, the button shows "Signing in…" and is disabled.
  - On `{ ok: false, error }`, render an `<Alert variant="destructive">` above the form with the error message.
  - On `{ ok: true }`, navigate to `searchParams.get('redirect') ?? '/'`.
- `src/routes/login.tsx` (TanStack Router file-based route — final wiring lands in 1.7, but the page component itself is built here):
  - Exports the page component.
  - Accepts a `redirect` search param.
  - When the auth store transitions to `'authenticated'` (e.g. via concurrent tab login), auto-navigate to `redirect` to avoid a stale login page.
- `src/ui/pages/__tests__/login.test.tsx` (optional for Phase 1 — Vitest infra lands in Phase 3; for now a manual smoke is acceptance enough).

## Specification

### Form library + validation

```tsx
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod';

const LoginFormSchema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email({ message: 'Enter a valid email address.' }),
  password: z.string().min(1, { message: 'Password is required.' }),
});
type LoginForm = z.infer<typeof LoginFormSchema>;

const form = useForm<LoginForm>({
  resolver: zodResolver(LoginFormSchema),
  defaultValues: { email: '', password: '' },
});
```

Field-level errors render under each input. Submit-level errors (the "wrong credentials" message) render in the alert above the form.

### Layout

```tsx
<div className="min-h-screen grid place-items-center bg-muted">
  <Card className="w-full max-w-sm">
    <CardHeader>
      <CardTitle>Sign in to TRM</CardTitle>
      <CardDescription>Use your operator credentials.</CardDescription>
    </CardHeader>
    <CardContent>
      {submitError && (
        <Alert variant="destructive" className="mb-4">
          <AlertDescription>{submitError}</AlertDescription>
        </Alert>
      )}
      <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
        <div>
          <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
          <Input id="email" type="email" autoComplete="username" {...form.register('email')} />
          {form.formState.errors.email && (
            <p className="text-sm text-destructive mt-1">{form.formState.errors.email.message}</p>
          )}
        </div>
        <div>
          <Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
          <Input
            id="password"
            type="password"
            autoComplete="current-password"
            {...form.register('password')}
          />
          {form.formState.errors.password && (
            <p className="text-sm text-destructive mt-1">
              {form.formState.errors.password.message}
            </p>
          )}
        </div>
        <Button type="submit" disabled={isSubmitting} className="w-full">
          {isSubmitting ? 'Signing in…' : 'Sign in'}
        </Button>
      </form>
    </CardContent>
  </Card>
</div>
```

### Submit handler

```tsx
const [submitError, setSubmitError] = useState<string | null>(null);
const [isSubmitting, setIsSubmitting] = useState(false);
const navigate = useNavigate();
const { redirect } = useSearch({ from: '/login' });

async function onSubmit(values: LoginForm) {
  setSubmitError(null);
  setIsSubmitting(true);
  const result = await useAuthStore.getState().login(values.email, values.password);
  setIsSubmitting(false);
  if (result.ok) {
    navigate({ to: redirect ?? '/', replace: true });
  } else {
    setSubmitError(result.error);
  }
}
```

`replace: true` on success — don't pile login pages in the back-button history.

### Auto-navigate if already authenticated

If the user is already authenticated (e.g. they bookmarked `/login` and came back), redirect them away. Watch the auth store:

```tsx
const status = useAuthStore((s) => s.status);
useEffect(() => {
  if (status === 'authenticated') {
    navigate({ to: redirect ?? '/', replace: true });
  }
}, [status, navigate, redirect]);
```

### What this task does NOT include

- **Forgot-password / password-reset link.** Directus has `/auth/password/request` but the email-template + the page that handles the reset link are out of Phase 1 scope. Add a placeholder "Forgot password?" link that's `disabled` or routes to a "Not yet available" page; document as deferred.
- **OAuth / SSO buttons.** Directus supports OAuth, but Phase 1's dogfood doesn't need it. Skip entirely.
- **2FA / OTP.** Same — not needed for the dogfood. If a Directus user has 2FA enabled, login will fail with a specific error code; add a TODO comment, document, and ignore for now.
- **"Remember me" checkbox.** The refresh cookie is the persistence layer; no separate "remember me" toggle.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check` clean.
- [ ] `pnpm dev` → navigate to `/login` (after 1.7 wires routing) → renders the form.
- [ ] Submitting with empty fields shows field-level validation errors; no network call made.
- [ ] Submitting with valid format but wrong credentials shows the alert with a humanised error.
- [ ] Submitting with correct credentials redirects to `/` (or to the `?redirect=...` param if present).
- [ ] Already-authenticated user landing on `/login` is redirected away, not stuck on the page.
- [ ] Form is keyboard-navigable (tab order: email → password → submit); pressing Enter in either field submits.
- [ ] Browser autofill works (the autocomplete attributes let password managers populate correctly).

## Risks / open questions

- **Form a11y.** The shadcn `Form` primitive (different from raw `<form>`) wires error announcements via `aria-describedby` automatically. Use it if 1.2 added it; otherwise the manual error rendering above is acceptable for v1.
- **Visual design.** This is functional, not branded. If the user wants a real visual identity before dogfood, that's a Phase 3 task ("apply visual brand"). For now, plain card on muted background.
- **Error message localisation.** English-only; i18n is Phase 4.
