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
