What
Amends the search-result metadata (SEO meta description) for individual plugin pages.

Details
PluginController@show, feedingSEOTools, OpenGraph, and Twitter card description.by {author}andreleased : {date}parts are only included when present; falls back gracefully to the existing "Install stats and history…" copy when the plugin has no description.F j, Y(e.g. January 5, 2024) to match the on-page "Released On" formatting.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
