## Add

```sh
npx @ava-ui/apogee add log-in/card-separated
```

This copies the page to `src/components/apogee/pages/log-in/` with everything it uses: AuthShell, Card, Input, Checkbox, Button, Link, FeaturedIcon. Render it from one of your routes, or use **Copy code** above.

## Accessibility

-   The page heading is the `h1`; the form fields carry visible labels and `autocomplete` hints, so password managers fill them.
-   The SSO button is a link to your identity provider; swap its `href` for your own.
