CSS Ripple Login Form UI

A split-screen login page: the left panel features multi-origin CSS ripple rings expanding from a glowing contact point over a teal-green gradient; the right panel is a polished dark-surface form with teal focus rings and a JS ink-ripple on the submit and social-login buttons. Plus Jakarta Sans on deep #0a1412.
