Comment:

 I was able to reproduce this issue on a fresh WordPress installation.

 On the installation success screen (wp-admin/install.php?step=2), the “Log
 In” action is rendered as a plain text link instead of using standard
 WordPress button styling. This makes the primary next step less visible
 and inconsistent with other admin UI patterns.

 I’ve prepared a patch that updates the markup to use the existing admin
 button classes (button button-primary) for the “Log In” link. This
 improves visual consistency and usability without changing any
 functionality.

 Expected behavior:
 The “Log In” action should be styled as a primary button, similar to other
 key actions in wp-admin.

 Actual behavior:
 The link appears as unstyled text.

 Patch attached. Please let me know if any changes or additional tests are
 required.
