Description
(I'm not sure whether this belong to this repo or the mashlib repo, but it's unlikely an issue with CSS-recipe repo.)
When using CSS with the Mashlib recipe, the visitor will be given a UI with login and sign up buttons.
But problem is, the "sign-up" button will redirect you to solidproject.org, not to the sign-up page of the current CSS instance.
The only way to sign up (from UI) is to click sign-in, and then click the small sign-up link in the new page.
This really makes things complicated for new users, if the server is using CSS and mashlib.

Research direction
Reproduce the sign-up flow using CSS with the Mashlib recipe and compare the sign-up and sign-in paths. Trace where the sign-up button is configured, then make it lead to the current CSS instance's sign-up page; verify the flow from the visible UI without relying on the small link behind sign-in.
