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 is not displaying error messages when invalid passwords are submitted. When a password containing only lowercase letters 'abcdefg' is entered (missing required special characters, capital letters, and numbers), the form attempts to register but fails to show the expected validation message. The test expects to see the error message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' but instead finds an empty string, indicating the validation message element exists but contains no text. This is a consistent failure occurring in all 10 test runs since run-1776113429584, suggesting the validation logic or message display mechanism is completely broken.",
"IMPACT": "Users attempting to register with weak passwords will not receive feedback about password requirements, leading to confusion and potential registration abandonment. This creates a poor user experience as users won't understand why their registration fails or what password format is required. Additionally, if validation is partially broken, weak passwords might be accepted, creating security vulnerabilities for user accounts.",
"CONFIDENCE": 85,
"ROOT_CAUSE": "The password validation error message is not being populated or displayed despite the validation logic detecting an invalid password. The most likely cause is that the JavaScript validation function is either not properly setting the error message text content, or there's a disconnect between the validation logic and the DOM element responsible for displaying the message. The fact that the test finds an empty string rather than throwing an element not found exception indicates the message container element exists but remains empty. This points to a JavaScript execution issue where either the validation function isn't being called, the error message isn't being set to the element, or there's an exception occurring silently in the validation code that prevents the message from being displayed.",
