Thinking

The signup form currently has no validation. I need to add email regex checking, password strength rules (min 8 chars, uppercase, number), and wire up real-time error state...

Tool Useedit_file
src/components/SignupForm.tsx
+ const [errors, setErrors] = useState<FormErrors>({});
+ const validateEmail = (email: string) => {
- <input type="email" />
+ <input type="email" onChange={handleEmail} />
I've added comprehensive form validation with real-time error messages. The password field now requires at least 8 characters with mixed case and a number.
