chore(changeset): trim the route-groups changeset to one line

[pranaygp]

Follow-up to #4070 (merged as d427c47) — no code change, one changeset file.

What happened

You left this review comment on #4070's changeset: "too verbose. let's just have the 1 line here since this will go into changelog and we don't need all the paragraphs below."

I fixed it on #4140, the CI mirror of #4070 — but #4070 is the one that merged and #4140 was closed, so the trim went with it. Nothing went wrong in the merge; the fix was just sitting on the wrong PR. (Good outcome otherwise: merging #4070 means @torsello kept authorship.)

Why the changeset file is still the right place to fix it

The changeset has not been consumed yet — it's still at .changeset/workflow-name-nextjs-route-segments.md on main, and packages/core/CHANGELOG.md contains none of this text. The open release PR #4142 has it staged (renames to .changeset/pre/… and writes the long version into the changelog), and it regenerates on every push to main, so landing this will refresh #4142 with the one-liner. No changelog surgery needed, and nothing has been published with the verbose text.

Before / after

-Allow parentheses and square brackets in workflow names
-
-A workflow name is derived from the module path it is defined in, so Next.js App
-Router conventions end up in the name verbatim. `SAFE_WORKFLOW_NAME_PATTERN` did
-not permit `(`, `)`, `[` or `]`, so any workflow inside a route group
-(`app/(dashboard)/…`) or a dynamic segment (`app/[teamId]/…`, `app/[...slug]/…`)
-threw `Invalid workflow name` before it could be enqueued, with no way to
-override the generated name.
-
-These characters are inert in the queue name the pattern guards: `ValidQueueName`
-already accepts any suffix after its prefix, and the name is never interpolated
-into a URL or a SQL identifier.
+Allow parentheses and square brackets in workflow names, so workflows can live in Next.js route groups (`app/(dashboard)/…`) and dynamic segments (`app/[teamId]/…`).

Also lost with #4140

The world-vercel test from #4140 didn't land either — the one pinning that a workflow name still reaches VQS as a valid topic ([A-Za-z0-9_-]) after prepareSend folds it. That guarantee is what makes the parens/brackets fix safe on the Vercel world, and it's still untested. Deliberately not included here to keep this mergeable on sight; happy to send it as its own PR.

No backport to stable for b360cb4 (AI decision).

This commit touches only .changeset/workflow-name-nextjs-route-segments.md, trimming the changeset prose for an already-merged fix. Changeset-only edits are release plumbing with no code, test, or user-facing behavior impact, and the underlying fix would be carried by its own backport if warranted.

To override, re-run the Backport to stable workflow manually via workflow_dispatch and paste this commit SHA into the ref input:
