Research direction
Investigate the current validation logic in src/components/Form.tsx and src/utils/validation.js. The issue asks for per field live validation after the field is touched/dirty. Look into how the form tracks field touched state and how validation is triggered (e.g., onBlur, onChange). Consider implementing an optional per field validation mode that only validates the touched fields instead of the entire form. Check existing discussions in the comments for any proposed approaches.
