# Atlas Login

> A two-column Atlas login: a bare Poppins form with pill OAuth rows, email and password fields (live `:user-invalid` validation, reveal toggle, Caps-Lock hint), remember-me and a springy pill submit, beside a deep accent panel of JS-rendered drifting topographic contour art.

## Features

- Design-system adaptive controls use an opaque surface/foreground pair, keep 44px targets, expose `aria-busy` during submission, and focus the first invalid field.
- Text links transition to the active design system's contrast-safe primary color on hover, with the underline color following the text
- Two-column layout — a bare login form on a ghost-lavender canvas beside a deep-indigo contour-art panel that collapses to a single column below 960px
- Generative topographic SVG artwork rendered by `js/art.js` — twin elevation peaks of organic contour rings, a dashed meridian, faint graticule curves, radial glows, official Tabler `map-pin` summit markers and waypoint dots, all tokenized through CSS classes
- Calm ambient motion — the two peaks drift in counter-phase and the glow layer breathes, transform/opacity only, fully disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion`
- Real HTML5 form validation surfaced through the `:user-invalid` pseudo-class — inline error text only appears after a field is touched
- Email and password inputs with `autocomplete`, a password `pattern`, and per-field inline success checks via `:user-valid`
- Stacked full-width pill OAuth buttons (Google, Apple) with accessible labels and brand marks
- Show/hide password toggle with an accessible `aria-pressed` button and inline Tabler eye icons
- Caps-Lock warning on the password field — a polite `aria-live` hint driven by `KeyboardEvent.getModifierState('CapsLock')`
- Remember-me checkbox that persists the email to `localStorage` and prefills it on the next visit
- Submit is intercepted with `preventDefault` — it validates, runs a simulated async flow (loading spinner → success confirmation), clears the password, and never navigates
- Pill-shaped controls — OAuth rows, inputs and submit all use the full radius, honoring the source design's soul; the Atlas badge rides `--chips-radius` clamped to a true capsule so it stays deliberate under squared and pill systems alike
- Staggered fade-and-slide entrance that cascades each form section and the art panel into view

## Accessibility

- **Form labels** — Every input has an associated `<label>` via `for`/`id`
- **OAuth buttons** — `<button>` with descriptive `aria-label` and brand mark
- **Live status** — `role="status"` with `aria-live="polite"` for the confirmation
- **Validation** — Native `:user-invalid` styling, no color-only error cues
- **Field errors** — Each input wires `aria-describedby` to its error text and toggles `aria-invalid` on input/blur
- **Password reveal** — `aria-pressed` button with an `aria-label` that swaps between Show and Hide
- **Caps-Lock warning** — Polite `aria-live` hint driven by `getModifierState('CapsLock')`, cleared on blur
- **Decorative art** — The SVG scene is `aria-hidden` inside an `aria-label`-ed complementary aside
- **Focus indicators** — `:focus-visible` with `--ring` outline on all elements
- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` disables all animations including the art drift

## Keyboard shortcuts

- `Tab` — Move between OAuth, fields, checkbox, links and submit
- `Enter / Space` — Activate the focused button (OAuth, password reveal, submit)
