Introduce a new POST /user/login endpoint that forwards username and password to the configured identity provider and returns the access token together with the user profile data. The IDP login URL is derived from the existing auth_api_url setting, so no additional configuration is required. IDP 4xx responses are mapped to 401 Unauthorized and transport/5xx errors to 502 Bad Gateway. Refs #104
Add a login helper in the UI API service that posts the provided username and password to the new /user/login endpoint and stores the returned access token in localStorage so subsequent requests are authenticated automatically. Refs #104
Add a toggle below the Authenticate button that lets users switch from the access token form to a username/password form. Submitting the credentials form calls authAPI.login, stores the returned access token and unlocks the app. A reciprocal link returns to the token form. Closes #104
Cover the happy path, invalid credentials (401), IDP outages (502), unexpected IDP status codes, malformed IDP responses and request validation for both the authenticate_with_credentials service and the POST /user/login route. Refs #104
