Registration and login forms don't show server-side validation errors per field #1988
Description
Problem
The shared AuthForm posts email and password and shows a single error string. The backend uses forbidNonWhitelisted validation and returns field messages (for example "password must be longer than or equal to 8 characters"), plus 409 for an existing email, but the form doesn't map them to the right inputs or announce them to assistive tech.
Proposed change
Parse the error body into { field: message }, show messages under each input with aria-describedby and aria-invalid, focus the first invalid field, and handle 409 and 429 with specific copy ("email already registered", "too many attempts, try again in N seconds").
Acceptance criteria
- Component tests cover a 400 with field errors, a 409 and a 429.
