Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a private channel using the reported Rocket.Chat 3.16.2 environment, creating a channel with a Topic and checking the resulting Topic and Description fields. Trace the channel-creation entry point to find where those two values are mapped, then verify that the topic is stored as Topic and Description remains separate.
