What does this PR do?
Adds a live password strength indicator to the registration form, addressing the lack of feedback users had beyond the minimum-length check. As the user types their password, a 4-segment meter fills in and color-codes (red/yellow/green) based on a scoring system that checks: length (7+ and 12+ characters), lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. A text label ("Weak password" / "Medium password" / "Strong password") updates live alongside the meter.
Implementation:
utils/passwordStrength.js— pure scoring function, returns score/label/color, fully unit-testable and decoupled from UIcomponents/register/PasswordStrengthMeter.jsx— renders the segmented meter and label, hidden when the field is emptyRegister.jsxbelow the existing password input, matching the existing dark/purple inline-style design systemNo backend changes were needed — this is a frontend-only UX enhancement.
