v4: a description shows as text where a list quotes it — a playlist's card printed its description as written, so one holding an image showed "", and so did a user's line in the search results. Both now go through markdownToPlainText (shared/markdown.ts), as the chat's reply previews do: the markup goes, a link keeps its text, an image is left out, and a description of nothing but an image leaves no line. The playlist's page and the profile render the Markdown as before.
