Research direction

Start with the TODOs at packages/front-end/pages/login.vue:51 and packages/front-end/pages/register.vue:72, then inspect packages/back-end/src/functions/httpFunctions.ts for the absence of an authentication endpoint. Resolve the session-versus-JWT and credential-validation approach first. Done means both forms submit through the chosen auth flow, report errors, and redirect after success.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What's happening

packages/front-end/pages/login.vue:51 and packages/front-end/pages/register.vue:72 both have:

// TODO send user Data to the login endpoint and redirect if successful

with no actual submit handler implementation. Both pages render a full form UI but pressing submit does nothing observable — no request is sent, no error is shown, no redirect happens.

Impact

There is currently no working authentication in the app. This may be intentional (no backend auth endpoint exists yet either), but the pages presenting as functional forms without any indication they're non-functional could confuse users/testers.

Scope

This is a real feature gap, not a bug fix — needs a design decision on the auth approach (session vs JWT, where credentials get validated, etc.) before implementation, so it's filed as a feature request rather than something to silently patch.

Related: no backend endpoint for authentication currently exists in packages/back-end/src/functions/httpFunctions.ts.
