Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the login handling code and existing authentication tests, then determine how repeated failures and rate-limit state are represented. Done means repeated failed login attempts reliably prevent further login attempts according to an agreed threshold and duration, with tests covering the behavior.
