-   Auth layout — a box, with a header above it and a footer below it.
+   Auth layout — one box, two panes.
 
-   The header (logo left · link right) and footer (copyright left · legal
-   right) share the box's exact width, so the whole thing reads as one
-   aligned column. The box itself is two panes: a rotating showcase on an
-   airy sky (left, desktop) and the form (right).
+   Left  : the airy-sky showcase. The Warmbly logo is pinned to it as a
+           persistent element, so something stays put while the feature
+           cards slide. Hidden on small screens.
+   Right : a clean form column with a minimal footer at the bottom.
