## Add

```sh
npx @ava-ui/apogee add sign-up/split-photo-quote
```

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

## Accessibility

-   The page heading is the `h1`; the fields carry visible labels and `autocomplete` hints (`new-password` for new passwords, so password managers offer to generate one).
-   The scrim and text are scoped to the dark theme (`data-theme="dark"`), so the quote stays readable over the photo in both themes.
-   The SSO button is a link to your identity provider; swap its `href` for your own.
