Subject: [PATCH] Fix login card nesting on htmx failure

- Add id="login-card" to the .card wrapper div
- Change hx-target to #login-card (was #login-form)
- Add hx-select="#login-card" so htmx extracts only
  the card element from the full-page response

Without hx-select, htmx replaced the form's outerHTML
with the entire page response, inserting a new .card
inside the existing .card on every failed attempt.
