With this change, generated descriptions are cut at 300 characters, without breaking words when possible, and with an ellipsis added in case the cut happened mid-sentence.
The `Description2::getFirstChars` function was borrowed from TextExtracts with minor alterations (added comment for their regex, and removed `>` from word healing given it's unclear why it's been included).
New configuration variable `$wgDescriptionMaxChars` (proposed default: 300, which seems like a sensible amount) controls this behaviour.
This has been in testing on ark.wiki.gg (with the platform's approval, which I'm glad for) since early September. Without this change, we had a few pages with little sections having a huge part of their body text thrown into the `description` meta tag...

Skip running the generator on interface messages and if a description has already been set. This resolves some annoyances ranging from performance (relevant if the algorithm becomes more expensive to run) to multiple description meta tags being spawned.
This is part of my RemexHtml patch chain, which I've split up to avoid having a single commit alter the majority of the codebase. If it ends up being rejected, I can rebase this change to rid of dependencies on the rest of the chain.

Separating the extract algorithm from integration code. This results in a slightly cleaner code structure (at least in my opinion) and enables adding alternate algorithms without devolving into spaghetti.
The DescriptionProvider (name of the new base interface) is exposed as a service through dependency injection to avoid factories. The implementation can be swapped at service instantiation time.

Moving hooks into a separate class, and using dependency injection for configuration. Due to hook interfaces being added in MW 1.35, this change also raises the MediaWiki requirement to >1.35.0.
This patch is a part of my RemexHtml deriver chain (split into multiple patches to avoid a single commit altering almost the entirety of the codebase), which raises the floor to 1.38 later. There's not really a point in merging this if the rest of the patch chain is declined.
