+Feature: Admin login
+  As an operator

+  So that I can reach the metrics, monitoring and correction-triage sections
+
+  Scenario: A wrong password shows a translated error, no redirect
+    Given the admin session check returns unauthenticated
+    And admin login fails with invalid credentials
+    When I visit "/login"
+    And I fill in the "email" field with "ops@example.com"
+    And I fill in the "password" field with "wrong"
+    And I click the button "Se connecter"
+    Then I should see "Email ou mot de passe incorrect"
+    And the URL should include "/login"
+
+  Scenario: A correct login lands on the dashboard
+    Given the admin session check returns unauthenticated
+    And admin login succeeds as "Ops"
+    When I visit "/login"
+    And I fill in the "email" field with "ops@example.com"
+    And I fill in the "password" field with "correct-horse"
+    And I click the button "Se connecter"
+    Then the URL should not include "/login"
