fix(agents): show real description on agent cards, not instructions - #66
Merged
Conversation
Agent cards rendered persona.systemPrompt unconditionally, so even a
well-described agent showed its raw "You are X..." instructions instead
of its description. Cards now show the real description when one
exists, falling back to instructions only when the description is
missing or still the API's placeholder ("Agent"/"Draft").
Also adds a Description field to the manual agent create/edit rail,
which previously only exposed Name and Instructions, silently writing
the "Agent" placeholder into every agent's description on save.

Adds a labeled Description row to the agent detail page's metadata list (below the divider, alongside Provider/Model/Created/Updated) so a real description is visible without opening the edit view. Adds a multiline metadata option distinct from the existing wrap option, since break-all is meant for unbroken strings like file paths and would mangle real prose. Also fixes the "Change avatar" hover label on this page, which resolved to the raw key editor.changeAvatar instead of real text — the key only ever existed under builderRail, where the same label is already used correctly for the same action.
