The overview hero rendered the description as plain text in a two-line clamp. Descriptions are markdown, so a member read `## About` and `- item` as literal characters — and two lines was not room for a document anyway. A More/Less toggle expanded it in place because there was nowhere else in the member subtree carrying the full text. There is now: an About entry in the hackathon sidebar, second after Overview, rendering the description through the same component the organizer's editor previews with. The hero drops the description entirely and goes back to being identity at a glance. Offered only when there is a description to read, the way Teams waits for a team and Manage Tracks for a track. It needs no RPC of its own — the layout's `hackathon.get` already carries the text.

The hackathon description gets a page of its own
As a participant, I want to read what this hackathon is actually
about — properly formatted, not as a two-line snippet of raw markdown.
Organizers write their hackathon description in markdown. The overview
page showed it as plain text in a two-line box, so what you actually saw
was
## About the hackathonand- Day 1: kickoff— the markdowncharacters themselves, with a "More" link to unfold two lines into
twenty, still unformatted.
Now the description has its own About page, reached from the
sidebar right under Overview. Headings look like headings, lists look
like lists, links are links — it's rendered with exactly the same
component the organizer sees in their editor's preview, so what they
wrote is what you read.
The overview goes back to being a quick glance: name, dates, status,
participant count.

No description, no entry — rather than a link to an empty page. Same
as Teams only appearing once teams exist.
overview; it just gets rendered somewhere it fits.
