Description

### Description of the bug

The text size in the `description` field is inconsistent across component types.

When `"type": "Checkboxes"`, the description text is rendered with a larger font size than when using "type": "Input" / "TextArea".

This creates an inconsistent UI and breaks visual alignment between form components that should behave the same.
