Reword "click here" links for accessibility

[gilluminate]

Ticket [N/A]

Description Of Changes

Removes the "click here" anti-pattern from link text across the admin UI, docs overrides, and email templates. Link text should describe the destination rather than the action, both for accessibility (screen reader users navigating by link list) and general UX.

Code Changes

• clients/admin-ui/src/features/system/GVLNotice.tsx: GVL info link reworded
• docs/fides/overrides/404.html: latest-stable-version link reworded
• docs/fides/overrides/main.html: latest-stable-version link reworded in outdated-version banner
• src/fides/api/email_templates/templates/password_reset.html: reset-password link reworded
• src/fides/api/email_templates/templates/user_invite.html: accept-invite link reworded
• tests/ops/service/messaging/message_dispatch_service_test.py: updated expected email body to match new template

Steps to Confirm

1. Trigger a password reset email in a local env and confirm the link text reads "reset your Fides account password" (no "click here")
2. Trigger a user invite email and confirm the link text reads "accept the invite" (no "click here")
3. Visit the outdated-docs banner / 404 page and confirm the link reads "Latest stable version"
4. Open the GVL notice in the admin UI (System edit page, GVL vendor) and confirm the link reads "More information on the Global Vendor List"

Code Review

Good accessibility improvement — replacing generic "click here" link text with descriptive text benefits screen reader users and improves SEO. The changes are consistent across admin UI, docs, and email templates.

Bug (should fix)

password_reset.html: The closing </p> tag was dropped from the first paragraph when restructuring the link. Left as-is, the paragraph is unclosed. Email client rendering can be unpredictable with malformed HTML, so this should be restored.

Nit

docs/fides/overrides/main.html: The only needed change was the link text, but the file was also reformatted — {% extends %}, {% block %}, and the text content were collapsed onto the same lines. This makes the template harder to read without adding value. Worth reverting the formatting to match what it was before (or what 404.html looks like).

Looks Good

• GVLNotice.tsx: Clean fix; "More information on the Global Vendor List." is clear and self-describing as link text.
• 404.html: Correct minimal change — only the link text updated, formatting preserved.
• user_invite.html: "accept the invite" reads naturally in context.
• password_reset.html link text: "reset your Fides account password" is descriptive and contextual.
• Test in message_dispatch_service_test.py is correctly updated to match the new template output.
• Changelog entry is present and accurate.
