Description
Use Case
Optional attributes for transport connection_info often have default values. Currently this requires calling out the default value in the desc string and defining a fallback calculation in code, leading to duplication at best and inconsistency at worst.
Describe the Solution You Would Like
Define a default: key equivalent to the attributes in types.

Research direction
Start by tracing how transport connection_info attributes are defined and how type attributes currently handle defaults. Compare the existing description and fallback behavior, then determine the tests covering connection_info defaults. Done means transports can declare a default value through a default: key without duplicating it in descriptions or fallback calculations.
