 Fixed a Python IndentationError in the remarks detail route that caused Gunicorn to fail on startup.
 Removed an incorrectly indented redirect statement so the module loads correctly and prevents Bad Gateway errors.

+## v20260106-11-new-ticket-remove-description
+
+- Removed the "Description" input from the "New ticket" form on Daily Jobs and Run Checks pages.
+- Updated the ticket creation request to store only the ticket number (ticket_code) when creating a new ticket.
+- Backend /api/tickets (POST) now ignores any description input during ticket creation (use remarks for additional context).
