Recently, a feature was introduced to allow checkbox to add a "description" at the same time as submitting a test report to C3:
$ checkbox-cli submit <secure id> <submission archive.tar.xz> -m "Message to add to C3"
Currently, this feature is only available when calling `checkbox-cli submit`.
We would like to know if it could be added to a normal test run, like so:
(…)
☐ : Connect to WPA-encrypted 802.11ac Wi-Fi network on wlan0
☑ : Connect to WPA-encrypted 802.11b/g Wi-Fi network on wlan0
☑ : Connect to WPA-encrypted 802.11n Wi-Fi network on wlan0

For retro-compatibility, it might be needed to add an option in the launchers to display this question or not (would be off by default).
An option could be to create a job to gather the description of the test run, that would be run by default at the beginning of the session (similar to the `miscellanea/
If this job is run and it's been filled by the tester, then Checkbox could submit to C3 using this description.
That would have another advantage: to have the description of the session baked into the generated reports (tar, html, excel).
