Description

On the console we're initialising description as "" so it doesn't make much of a difference, but as it is you do need --description "" on the CLI and API. Would be a better UX to not require it.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the CLI and API require the description field, comparing that behavior with the console's empty-string initialization. Confirm the expected behavior for omitted descriptions in both interfaces, then add coverage showing that the CLI and API accept requests without --description or an equivalent field.
