📄 Description

This PR addresses #5434 by improving the UX of the changelog input field during page edits.

Changes:

Replaced single-line <input> with compact <textarea> (rows="2", maxlength="250")
Added live character counter (0 / 250) below the field
Preserved preview logic using existing debounced JS handler
UI remains visually compact as requested

Tested:

Page creation and editing flow
Character counter updates live
Summary preview still truncates after 16 chars
Long changelogs saved correctly and appear in revision history

Notes:

Revision list may overflow with long changelogs - possibly a separate CSS issue
