Custom Field components replace Payload's default rendering, so admin.description was never shown — render it via FieldDescription. Add an Events collection e2e test asserting the description renders and the regenerate button builds the slug from title + start date in the real admin, plus a unit test pinning the description strings slugField() produces.

Description
Improves auto-generated slugs for collections with many same-named documents (notably events — ~150 share the title "Avalanche Awareness Class"). Slugs now reliably include the start date and resolve duplicates with a numbered suffix, and the admin UI's regenerate button matches the server behavior. Also fixes a bug where the date never made it into the slug if an editor touched the slug field.

Migration Explanation
No schema change — slug generation is hook/UI logic only. No migration required.
