test.describe('Login', () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('{{baseUrl}}/login');
  });

  // Happy path: email/password login
  test('logs in with valid credentials', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: /email/i }).fill('{{username}}');
    await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: /password/i }).fill('{{password}}');

  // Happy path: social login
  test('redirects to social provider', async ({ page }) => {

  // Edge case: locked account
  test('shows account locked message after multiple failures', async ({ page }) => {
