Subject: [PATCH] refactor(nip29): render group-card description only when
 present

Drop the reserved two-line description block: description-less groups now stay
compact instead of showing two blank lines. The about still fills in when the
metadata loads (a small one-time grow), which is the better trade for the common
case where a group has no description.
