chore(kb-connectors): strip redundant field-level descriptions

waleedlatif1 · waleedlatif1 · commit fc644210d29d · 2026-05-22T08:28:31.000-07:00
Removed 41 inline `description:` lines from configFields across 16 connectors
(Slack, MS Teams, GCal, Gmail, Notion, Linear-adjacent, Discord, Dropbox,
Evernote, Fireflies, Google Sheets, Intercom, Obsidian, Outlook, Reddit,
ServiceNow, WordPress, Zendesk). They mostly restated the field title (e.g.
"Channels to sync messages from" under a "Channels" label) and cluttered
the add/edit modal. Field titles + placeholders already communicate intent.

Connector-level `description` (used in the connector picker grid) is
unchanged.
