chore: enter prerelease mode (rc) to ship v4.5.0-rc.0 (#3630)

## Summary Adds `.changeset/pre.json` to put the repo into changesets pre mode with dist-tag `rc`. After this merges, the changesets bot regenerates the existing release PR as `chore: release v4.5.0-rc.0`. Merging that PR publishes the first release candidate of 4.5.0 to npm under `@rc`. The pre-mode plumbing landed in #3628. The release content (chat.agent + sessions + ai prompts + dashboard server-changes) landed in #3629. ## What ships when the bot PR merges Under dist-tag `rc`: - `@trigger.dev/{sdk,core,build,react-hooks,redis-worker,plugins,python,rsc,schema-to-json}@4.5.0-rc.0` - `trigger.dev@4.5.0-rc.0` Plus: - Docker image `ghcr.io/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev:v4.5.0-rc.0` (immutable tag only — `:v4-beta` is not touched) - Helm chart `oci://ghcr.io/triggerdotdev/charts/trigger.dev:4.5.0-rc.0` - GitHub release `v4.5.0-rc.0` marked as Pre-release (no Latest badge) What does NOT happen: - npm `latest` stays at 4.4.6 - No marketing-site changelog PR (gated on `is_prerelease != 'true'`) - Docker `:latest` not touched (we never push it anyway in this repo) ## Iteration For subsequent rc.N: add a regular changeset to main, bot regenerates the release PR as `v4.5.0-rc.N`. Merge to ship. ## Exiting pre mode When ready to ship stable: `pnpm exec changeset pre exit`, push, merge regenerated PR. That publishes `4.5.0` under `latest` and fires the marketing-site dispatch.
