fix: creating a board without a description returns 500

[brantsrasmus]

Problem

POST /api/boards returns 500 when description is omitted. The request schema marks it .optional(), but board.description is VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL with no default, so it reaches Prisma as undefined:

Invalid `prisma.board.create()` invocation
Argument `description` is missing.

The UI always sends a description, so this only bites API clients — I hit it writing an API test.

Fix

Default it to an empty string in the create route, matching what the UI sends today. No schema change, no migration.

Test

tests/e2e/api-board.spec.ts creates a board with { name, type } only and asserts 200 plus description: ''. Verified it fails (500) without the one-line change and passes with it.

Greptile Summary

The PR prevents board creation from failing when API clients omit the optional description.

• Defaults omitted board descriptions to an empty string before Prisma persistence.
• Adds API regression coverage for creation without a description.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable defects identified.

The fallback applies only when description is omitted, preserves valid supplied strings, matches existing UI behavior, and is covered by an API regression test.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
src/app/api/boards/route.ts	Correctly aligns the optional request field with the required database column by defaulting only omitted descriptions.
tests/e2e/api-board.spec.ts	Adds discoverable Playwright coverage that verifies the successful response and persisted empty description.
