Steve Yegge bf74160f05 Fix GH#366: Encourage descriptions when creating issues ...

Addresses GitHub Discussion #366 where users reported Claude Code
creating issues with titles but no descriptions.

Two-pronged solution:

1. Documentation improvements (bd-na8r):
   - Updated AGENTS.md with prominent guidance section
   - Added good/bad examples showing why/what/how to include
   - Updated all bd create examples to include --description
   - Enhanced MCP tool docstring with importance note
   - Updated .github/copilot-instructions.md

2. Code validation (bd-bcrt):
   - Added friendly yellow warning when description is empty
   - Warning skips test issues (title contains "test")
   - Works in both CLI and daemon modes
   - Non-blocking to preserve quick workflows

Evidence from our own projects showed significant empty description
rates:
- ~/src/beads: 110/630 (17.5%)
- ~/wyvern: 8/119 (6.7%)
- ~/src/vc: 3/170 (1.8%)

Fixes bd-0tr0, bd-na8r, bd-bcrt
