/**
 * Password complexity check matching the backend rules in
 * `backend/app/schemas/auth.py:_validate_password_complexity` plus the
 * implicit `min_length=8` that most server-side schemas enforce.
 *
 * Returning the FIRST unmet requirement as a translation-key suffix keeps the
 * UI message order identical to what the backend would have returned — the
 * user sees the same rule fail whether the check happens client- or server-
 * side, which avoids the confusion of fixing one issue only to immediately
 * trip another after the round-trip.
