Standardize fallback values across the required intake fields.
The PR requirement allows unknown or not applicable with a short explanation. The six descriptions use different rules: placement permits neither, validation permits only unknown, compatibility permits only not applicable, and security/privacy introduces none expected. Apply one fallback rule to every required textarea so contributors and maintainers use a consistent intake contract.
