feat: let applications relabel the embedded sign-in fields through i18n

[DonOmalVindula]

Purpose

The embedded <SignIn /> labels the identifier field with the text the identity server sends for the Basic authenticator ("Username"). Applications whose users sign in with an email address have no way to change it: the login flow's field texts are not editable in the console, and the SDK ignored the i18n bundle for these two fields.

Changes

• @asgardeo/react: UsernamePassword now reads elements.fields.<field>.label / .placeholder from the i18n bundle when a translation is provided, falling back to the server's displayName and the generic placeholder. The default stays "Username", since the platform supports non-email usernames.
• @asgardeo/react: the v1 BaseSignIn accepts preferences and threads it to the sign-in options, so texts can be overridden per component (the React SignIn wrapper already passed it, but v1 dropped it).
• @asgardeo/javascript: preferences.i18n.bundles is typed as I18nBundleOverride (partial translations, optional metadata). The runtime already merged partial bundles; the types required a full bundle with metadata, which made the override unusable from TypeScript without casts.
• @asgardeo/nextjs: <SignIn /> exposes the preferences prop; README gains a "Customising texts" section.

Usage:

<AsgardeoProvider
  preferences={{
    i18n: {
      bundles: {
        'en-US': {
          translations: {
            'elements.fields.username.label': 'Email',
            'elements.fields.username.placeholder': 'Enter your email',
          },
        },
      },
    },
  }}
>

Testing

• Unit test in SignInOptionFactory.test.tsx covering the override and the fallback to displayName.
• Built packages patched into a Next.js 16 sample app against Asgardeo: the label and placeholder come from the bundle, and wrong password, retry, profile edit, admin route and sign-out all pass.

Notes

Changing preferences on the Next.js <AsgardeoProvider> needs a dev server restart, because the server-side client is initialised once per process. That is pre-existing behaviour, noted here since it bit me while testing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds partial i18n bundle overrides, constructs complete locale bundles, exposes preferences on sign-in components, and applies translated labels and placeholders with identity-server fallbacks.

Changes

Sign-in i18n overrides

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Partial i18n bundle contract packages/javascript/src/models/config.ts, packages/javascript/src/index.ts	Adds and exports I18nBundleOverride. I18nPreferences.bundles now accepts partial metadata and translations.
Override bundle construction packages/react/src/utils/bundleFromOverride.ts, packages/react/src/contexts/I18n/I18nProvider.tsx, packages/react/src/hooks/useTranslation.ts	Builds complete bundles from partial overrides and uses them for global and component-level translations.
Sign-in preference and field text flow packages/react/src/components/presentation/auth/SignIn/v1/*, packages/nextjs/src/client/components/presentation/SignIn/SignIn.tsx, packages/react/src/components/presentation/auth/SignIn/v1/options/SignInOptionFactory.test.tsx, packages/nextjs/README.md, .changeset/signin-field-labels-i18n.md	Forwards preferences through sign-in rendering, resolves translated username and password text with fallbacks, adds coverage, and documents the API.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f6a2

This change enables customized sign-in text, but custom RTL locales may render with incorrect direction metadata. The preferences path also lacks an effective regression test, and the new provider example is not copyable as valid JSX; these issues should be addressed before merge.

In

- Line 144: The SignInOptionFactory tests do not verify that preferences are
forwarded because the mock translation function is disconnected from the
configured bundle and the test supplies an empty preferences object. Update the
test setup around the mock t function and SignInOptionFactory inputs to provide
configured preferences, have t resolve keys from that bundle with the existing
fallback behavior, and assert the password field’s actual generic-placeholder
fallback.

In `@packages/react/src/utils/bundleFromOverride.ts`:
- Line 36: Update bundleFromOverride to derive metadata.direction for custom
locales from the locale or a trusted fallback bundle instead of defaulting
unconditionally to 'ltr'; preserve an explicit override direction when provided
and ensure the returned I18nBundle has correct RTL/LTR metadata.
