Phase 02 Plan 01: Auth Page Branding Summary

Pastel gradient login and register pages with a gradient text wordmark and shadcn Alert errors — auth screens transformed from plain white cards into the first branded touchpoint.

What Was Built

Both LoginPage and RegisterPage received identical branding treatment:

1. Gradient background — inline style with linear-gradient(135deg, ...) using palette.saving.light, palette.bill.light, and palette.investment.light light shades (~oklch 0.95-0.96 chroma 0.03-0.04). Replaces the bg-background Tailwind class.

2. Gradient text wordmark — <span data-testid="wordmark"> with CSS text-clip gradient from primary blue (hue 260) to pink-violet (hue 320) renders the app name in the card header below the page title.

3. shadcn Alert errors — Alert variant="destructive" with AlertCircle icon and AlertDescription replaces the plain <p className="text-sm text-destructive"> error display. Provides semantic role="alert" for a11y.

4. Card shadow — shadow-lg added to Card for visual lift against the gradient background.
