Groupboxes and images in ECCL

ecciui

eccl ui improvements

The ECCL (Ewan Croft Coding Login) interface got two new UI primitives: groupboxes and images.

groupboxes

Groupboxes provide a visual container that groups related form fields and controls. They render with a subtle border, a label in the top-left corner, and consistent internal padding. This replaces ad-hoc field grouping with a semantic container that communicates hierarchy — fields inside a groupbox are visually related, fields outside are separate concerns.

The implementation uses a lightweight component with named slots for the label and content, keeping the markup declarative even as the visual structure gets more complex.

images

Image support adds inline graphics to the authentication interface — logos, icons, and contextual illustrations. The image component handles responsive sizing, aspect ratio preservation, and alt text for accessibility.

These additions bring the ECCL interface closer to a polished authentication experience, moving beyond the functional-but-sparse initial implementation.
