feat(prelogin): public marketing site at /

[jjackson]

Product Description

Visitors to / now land on a public marketing page (currently a placeholder mockup from Gillian, sourced manually from dimagi-internal/connect-prelogin) instead of the existing pages/home.html template. A header Login CTA takes signed-in users to /accounts/login/ (which then bounces them onward via LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = users:redirect); anonymous visitors see the marketing page. Sign Up CTA links out to connect.dimagi.com/accounts/signup/.

This is the public-facing companion to a parallel landing site running on labs.connect.dimagi.com/ (connect-labs#169 — already merged). The new prelogin app is intentionally self-contained (no labs-specific or connect-specific imports beyond the one configurable setting) so the two deployments can stay in sync.

Technical Summary

• New Django app commcare_connect/prelogin/ with one TemplateView for /.
• The mockup HTML lives in commcare_connect/templates/prelogin/home.html as a self-contained document (own DOCTYPE + inline <style>, no base.html extension — the mockup ships its own typography and palette).
• Header Login CTA's URL is read from PRELOGIN_APP_LOGIN_URL setting; default /accounts/login/.
• Replaces the existing TemplateView(template_name="pages/home.html") at /.
• Two prep edits applied at re-import time, documented in a Django comment at the top of home.html: strip the .mockup-bar element + its CSS rule (the top "MOCKUP" banner used in Gillian's preview), and template the login link's href.
• name="home" is now namespaced as prelogin:home; the one inbound reverse("home") call in commcare_connect/users/views.py is updated.

Layout follows the project's house-style conventions (per CLAUDE.md):

• Tests in commcare_connect/prelogin/tests/test_views.py (directory layout, pytest.mark-style fixture-based tests).
• Template in top-level commcare_connect/templates/prelogin/ (not app-local).
• No app-local static/; future static assets go in top-level commcare_connect/static/prelogin/.

Safety Assurance

Safety story

Static page, no models, no migrations, no data access, no auth changes. The only behavioral change is that / no longer renders pages/home.html — anonymous and authenticated visitors both see the marketing page; logged-in users navigate into the app via the header Login CTA (which falls through to allauth, which then forwards them via LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL). Blast radius: anyone with / bookmarked who expected the old pages/home.html content gets the new marketing page instead.

Automated test coverage

Three tests in commcare_connect/prelogin/tests/test_views.py:

• test_renders_with_brand — GET / returns 200 with expected branding text.
• test_login_url_defaults_to_accounts_login — verifies the default for the login CTA.
• test_login_url_respects_setting_override — locks the contract that the PRELOGIN_APP_LOGIN_URL override flows through.

QA Plan

• Visit / on the deployed environment and confirm the marketing page renders without the "MOCKUP · Connect by Dimagi · v11 reshape …" top banner.
• Confirm header Login CTA navigates to /accounts/login/ (and from there forwards correctly for already-signed-in users).
• Confirm Sign Up CTA still points to connect.dimagi.com/accounts/signup/.

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a new Django app commcare_connect.prelogin to provide a dedicated prelogin home page. The app is registered in settings, configured with a TemplateView that renders prelogin/home.html with a dynamic app_login_url context from settings, and wired into the root URL pattern. The root URL route is redirected from serving pages/home.html directly to including the prelogin app's URLconf. The user redirect view is updated to route users without memberships to prelogin:home. Tests verify the home page renders, brand text displays, and the login URL context respects both defaults and setting overrides.
