fix(ui): stop truncated html showing as package description

[hamedniroomand]

Linked issue

Fixes #3181

Context

vue-tsc (and similar packages) can show truncated HTML as the description, e.g. <img src="https://img.s on https://npmx.dev/package/vue-tsc.

Description

Strip unclosed HTML tags left when npm truncates the description. If nothing useful remains, show the empty-description text.

No README fallback in this PR.

Screenshots

Before

After

Test plan

• /package/vue-tsc does not show <img src="https://img.s
• A normal text description is unchanged
• a < b in a description still shows

Walkthrough

HTML sanitisation now removes unclosed tags caused by truncated descriptions. The changes trim final output, preserve valid text and code spans, and add regression tests for incomplete tags, comments, and comparison operators.
