fix(search): use public_description for card summary and snippet#19
Merged
Conversation
Search result cards and the FTS snippet read the internal 'description' field, which the public export now drops in favor of the redacted 'public_description'. Point the card fallback and snippet at public_description so summaries render. Detail page already used it.

Problem
Search result cards and the FTS snippet read the internal `description` field. The public export now drops `description` in favor of the redacted `public_description` (Bayanat side, PR #346), so every card shows "no summary available" even when `public_description` is set.
Fix
The document detail page already rendered `public_description`, so this just aligns the search cards/snippet with it.
Verified
Imported the 494-doc redacted batch, injected a sentinel `public_description` on one doc, and confirmed via the HTMX search endpoint that the card renders the redacted summary (snippet when searched, full text on browse) and that docs without `public_description` still show the no-summary fallback.
Follow-up (not in this PR)
`description` is now dead in the export. A later cleanup can drop the `description` column + its FTS indexing and update `EXPORT_SCHEMA.md`.
