Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the login page integration with the /login API endpoint. Handle form submission, make a POST request to /login with user credentials, and store the returned token in localStorage or cookies for subsequent authenticated API calls. Redirect the user to the dashboard page upon successful login.
