💡 What: Moved the slash command trigger (e.g., /all) from the label to the description field for Welcome items in the QuickPick UI. The explanation and keyboard shortcut remain in the detail field.
🎯 Why: To improve the visibility and scanability of the primary interaction trigger. Putting it in the description field uses VS Code's native visual hierarchy (right-aligned, muted color) to separate the friendly name from the technical command, reducing cognitive load.
📸 Before/After: N/A
Accessibility: Improves clarity for screen reader users by separating the name and the command.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 1950424283835398538 started by @AhmmedSamier

In accordance with UX findings (Palette journal), Welcome items in the QuickPick UI now display the primary interaction trigger (the command itself, like `/all`) in the `description` field rather than in parentheses within the `label`. This makes the command more visible and scanable, while retaining the explanation and shortcut in the `detail` field.
