#470 Help pages' descriptions are cut mid-word or missing

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: athanclark

Help pages (/help/*) take their description from the first 200 characters of their document:

• Cut mid-word: 26 of 33 are exactly 200 characters. For example, /help/guide ends "…This guide walks through the app task ".
• Starting with a code path: /help/syslog begins "server/syslog-receiver.mjs listens for syslog…".
• Missing: /help/administration has none.
• Too short: /help/seeding has 47 characters.

Wanted: each help document gives a short description of its own, for example in front matter or a first summary line, or the cut ends at a sentence near 155 characters and skips file paths.
