Description

See the sample code and notice in the attached screenshot how the “Album” setting is missing a description.

struct AlbumConfiguration: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent {
	static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Album"
	static let description = IntentDescription("Configuration for widget")
	static let isDiscoverable = false

	@Parameter(
		title: "Album",
		description: "Some description"
	)
	var album: PhotoAlbumAppEntity?

	// ...
}

Just adding here that I would love to see this parameter description in the widget configuration UI as well. There are certain controls which could really use some extra context.
