Missing password validation error message

"SUMMARY": "Missing password validation error message",
"BUG_DESCRIPTION": "The registration form fails to display the password validation error message when an invalid password is submitted. The test intentionally enters 'abcdefg' which lacks required special characters, capital letters, and numbers. After clicking the Register button, the expected validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' should appear but the message area remains completely empty. The test assertion fails because it receives an empty string instead of the expected error text. This is a critical validation flow failure that prevents users from understanding password requirements.",
"IMPACT": "Users attempting to register will not receive feedback about password requirements when entering invalid passwords. This will lead to registration abandonment, user frustration, and increased support tickets. Users may repeatedly try different passwords without understanding what format is required, potentially giving up on registration entirely.",
"CONFIDENCE": 85,
"ROOT_CAUSE": "The password validation error message is not being displayed in the UI despite the validation likely occurring. The most probable cause is that the error message element exists in the DOM but is not being populated with text when validation fails. This could be due to the JavaScript validation handler not updating the correct element ID or class, or the error message binding being broken. The form submission appears to complete but the validation feedback mechanism has failed, suggesting the issue is specifically with the error message display logic rather than the validation itself.",
