What it checks
Whether a meta description is present. Its length is not judged: Google truncates or rewrites snippets as it sees fit.
Why it matters
Search engines invent a snippet from random page text, which usually converts worse.
Recommended fix
Add a meta description of roughly 120–160 characters that says what the product does and for whom.
How to verify
View the page source and confirm <meta name="description"> has the new text.

Issue SEO-005: Meta description is missing
Site: https://your-app.example
First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: Add a meta description to the homepage (120–160 characters: what the product does, who it is for, one concrete benefit) via the framework’s metadata API, and add unique descriptions for other public pages.
Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: View the page source and confirm <meta name="description"> has the new text.
