fix(frontend): re-throw login and signup API exceptions from AuthContext (fix #96)

[Pratyush-Panda-2006]

Description

This pull request fixes a bug where the Login and Signup pages always display generic failure messages instead of context-specific error feedback (like "Account not found", "User already exists", or "Server error").

The login and register functions in AuthContext.jsx were catching Axios API exceptions, printing them, and returning false. This swallowed the exception and prevented the try...catch block inside Login.jsx and Signup.jsx from catching specific status codes.

Changes

• Updated frontend/src/context/AuthContext.jsx to re-throw exceptions (throw error) in the catch blocks of both login and register handlers.

Fixes #96

Warning

Review limit reached

@Pratyush-Panda-2006, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 42 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
