Research direction

The restart action is defined in the tailscale plugin under security/tailscale, most likely in an actions config file such as actions_tailscale.conf. Compare it with another plugin's actions file that already has a description, then add the missing description to the restart entry. Done when the action shows a description in the OPNsense Actions list.
