Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(libra): guide expense description toward
 categorization

Expand the expense Description helper text to prompt for a detailed
description (what the purchase/invoice/bill was + what it was used for:
event/project/etc) and point users to the "Other" account when none
of the existing accounts match.

Client feedback: with no fixed category taxonomy yet, a richer
description lets us reconcile/recategorize later even when the expense
lands on the Other account.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] feat(libra): guide expense account choice + description
 copy

Step 1 (account selection) now tells the user to pick the "Other"
account if they're not sure. The Description field's placeholder is
rewritten to prompt for a detailed description of the purchase /
invoice / bill and what it was used for (event/project/etc), replacing
the redundant helper line.

Client feedback: with no fixed category taxonomy yet, steering unsure
users to the Other account plus a richer free-text description lets us
reconcile/recategorize later.
