This PR fixes an accessibility issue where the password visibility toggle button in the "Connect to SQL Server" dialog lacks proper labeling for screen readers, violating WCAG 4.1.2 (Name Role Value) guidelines.

Changes Made

Added localization constants:

  • Added showPassword and hidePassword localized strings to locConstants.ts

Enhanced button accessibility:

  • Added aria-label attribute that dynamically displays "Show password" or "Hide password" based on current state
  • Added title attribute for tooltip accessibility
  • Both attributes use localized strings for proper internationalization

Before/After

Before: The eye icon button had no accessible name, making it impossible for screen readers to identify its purpose.

After: Screen readers will now announce:

  • "Show password" when the password is currently hidden
  • "Hide password" when the password is currently visible

Testing

  • ✅ Extension builds successfully without errors
  • ✅ Code passes linting and TypeScript compilation
  • ✅ Localization strings properly integrated into build pipeline
  • ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality

Files Modified

  • src/reactviews/common/locConstants.ts - Added accessibility label constants
  • src/reactviews/common/forms/form.component.tsx - Enhanced button with accessibility attributes

Fixes #18655.

@copilot merge the latest from main to fix the failing tests

The tests are failing due to network connectivity issues (can't reach update.code.visualstudio.com) caused by firewall restrictions, not code issues. The repository appears to be grafted without access to the main branch, so I cannot perform the merge directly. The accessibility changes I made are working correctly. Could you clarify how you'd like me to address the test infrastructure issue?

@copilot no, they're failing because the smoketests can't find a specific element by ID. the fix for this is in main.
