fix: add production-compatible RSS feed for changelog

[GANESH-NADKARNI]

What does this PR do?

Adds a working RSS feed at /api/changelog-rss.xml and an
RSS button on the changelog page.

Why?

PR #1688 was reverted because it used Pages Router style
(pages/api/changelog-rss.xml.ts) but the project has since
migrated to App Router. This fix uses App Router convention
(app/api/changelog-rss.xml/route.ts) with getChangelogIndexItems()
for build-time data loading — no filesystem access at runtime.

How to test?

1. Run pnpm dev
2. Visit http://127.0.0.1:3333/api/changelog-rss.xml — valid XML feed
3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:3333/changelog — RSS button visible

Fixes #1614

Note: First-time contributor, happy to adjust based on feedback!

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a working RSS feed endpoint at /api/changelog-rss.xml using the App Router convention and wires up an RSS button on the changelog page, replacing the previously reverted Pages Router implementation.

• app/api/changelog-rss.xml/route.ts — generates a valid RSS 2.0 feed from getChangelogIndexItems() at request time; item links and the Atom self-reference URL are hardcoded to https://langfuse.com, which will produce live-site URLs when running locally or on staging.
• app/changelog/page.tsx — adds an outlined RSS button in the page header; the button label is OpenRSS (single word) which appears to be a typo for "RSS Feed".

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge; the feed works correctly in production, and the two issues (hardcoded base URL, button label typo) only affect developer experience and UI copy.

The route correctly builds and returns valid RSS XML using build-time data with no runtime filesystem access. The hardcoded https://langfuse.com in item links and the atom:link self-reference is harmless in production but will mislead when testing locally or on staging. The button label 'OpenRSS' is a cosmetic typo visible to all changelog visitors.

app/api/changelog-rss.xml/route.ts — hardcoded base URL on lines 14 and 32; app/changelog/page.tsx — button label typo on line 81.

### Issue 1 of 3
app/changelog/page.tsx:81
The button label `OpenRSS` is a single concatenated word — it looks like a typo where "Open" and "RSS" were joined. Standard convention is "RSS Feed" or just "RSS".

```suggestion
                <span>RSS Feed</span>
```

### Issue 2 of 3
app/api/changelog-rss.xml/route.ts:14
The base URL is hardcoded to `https://langfuse.com`. This works in production but means local and staging builds emit item links pointing at the live site, which can cause confusion when testing. Pulling from an env var (with a sensible fallback) is a common pattern here.

```suggestion
        const baseUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL ?? "https://langfuse.com";
        const url = `${baseUrl}${item.route}`;
```

### Issue 3 of 3
app/api/changelog-rss.xml/route.ts:32
The `atom:link` self-referencing URL is also hardcoded. It should use the same base URL as item links so the feed validates correctly in non-production environments.

```suggestion
    <atom:link href="${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL ?? "https://langfuse.com"}/api/changelog-rss.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/>
```

Note

Low Risk
Read-only public XML endpoint and a UI link; no auth, payments, or data mutation.

Overview
Adds a changelog RSS feed at /api/changelog-rss.xml using an App Router GET handler that builds RSS 2.0 from getChangelogIndexItems() (title, description, dates, and permalinks). Channel and item URLs use NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL with a production fallback, responses are application/xml with 1-hour public caching, and failures return JSON 500.

The changelog index page gets an outlined RSS Feed button (Lucide icon) that opens the feed in a new tab.

@kelvinromero Hey! Yep, moving forward — Bugbot's two issues on the RSS button are fixed. Only thing left is a few workflow checks stuck on "awaiting approval." Do you have access to approve those, or know who does?
