…vements - Change towerfile desc. to Option<String> to distinguish absence and explicit empty - Add ApiCreateError for more accurate error reporting on app createion - Add UnexpectedApiResponse error to prevent silent description synchronization skip - Simplify error conversion in `ensure_app_exists`
Change from diff-checking approach to "latest wins" semantics; - Always update description on deploy when present (no comparison) - Skip update for empty/None (preserves server state) - Remove spinner and entity validation (simpler, more resilient)

This fixes the description issue reported #166.
As evident from the commits I changed my mind quite a bit about where, when
descriptionmetadata should be applied eventually settled to scope it to only create flows and applied optional semantics of the field. (deployseemed too critical and applied too frequent to constantly sync this)High level changes;
descriptionto the API’sshort_descriptionon create (including deploy --create), and deploy no longer updates description for existing apps.
