Missing password validation error message on registration form

"SUMMARY": "Missing password validation error message on registration form",
"BUG_DESCRIPTION": "The registration form's password validation error message fails to display when an invalid password is submitted. The test intentionally enters a password 'abcdefg' that lacks required special characters, capital letters, and numbers to verify error handling. Upon clicking the Register button, the expected validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' should appear but the error message area remains completely empty. The form accepts and processes the invalid input without showing any validation feedback to the user. This is a critical validation failure as the password requirements are not being communicated when validation fails.",
"IMPACT": "Users attempting to register will not receive feedback about password requirements when entering invalid passwords, leading to confusion and potential registration abandonment. This could result in lost user acquisitions and frustrated customers who cannot understand why their registration is failing. The lack of clear password requirement communication also poses a security risk as users may create weaker passwords if requirements are not enforced properly.",
"CONFIDENCE": 85,
"ROOT_CAUSE": "The most likely cause is that the client-side JavaScript validation function is either not triggering on form submission or the error message element selector has changed and cannot locate the DOM element to display the message. The form appears to submit without intercepting for validation, or the validation runs but fails to render the error message due to a broken reference to the error display element. Given that this is a consistent failure across multiple test runs with 100% failure rate, this points to a code-level issue rather than an intermittent timing problem.",
"ROOT_CAUSE_CANDIDATES": [
{
"analysis": "JavaScript validation function not triggering - the form submission event handler may be disconnected or the validation function has a syntax error preventing execution",
"probability_percent": 90
},
{
"analysis": "DOM selector for error message element has changed - the test may be looking for an element with an ID or class that no longer exists in the current HTML structure",
"probability_percent": 75
},
{
"analysis": "CSS display property hiding the error message - the validation may be working but the error message element has display:none or visibility:hidden applied",
"probability_percent": 40
},
{
"analysis": "Server-side validation response not being handled - if validation is server-side, the AJAX response handler may be failing to parse or display the error message",
