Description

currently "What is this thing?" ends up plain text in the qr codes as field "t"
There might be use-cases where you only want to reveal this information once the secrets get combined (e.g. in the case of death or having forgotten what this is about)

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the QR-code serialization for field "t" and the flow that combines the secrets; then define how the encrypted value should be recovered after combination. Done means the description is not readable from an individual QR code and is revealed only when the secrets are combined.
