Fix: 501 error when logging in from profile page

Problem

When logging out from a profile page and trying to log in again, users would get a 501 error.

Root Cause

• Login form had no action attribute, so it submitted to the current URL
• After logout, users remained on the profile page
• Login form submitted to /profile/AS instead of /login

Solution

• Added action="proxy.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flogin" to the login form
• Added redirect to /login after logout
• Added redirect to / after successful login

Testing

• Login from home page works
• Login from profile page works
• Logout redirects to login page
• No 501 error
