Greptile Overview

Summary

This PR fixes a bug where test values in inputFormat fields couldn't be cleared. The fix has two parts:

• UI component: Removed validation that prevented empty values from being saved when the field loses focus (input-format.tsx:137-138)
• Deployment detection: Added sanitization to exclude the value field from workflow change detection, since it's only used for manual testing and shouldn't trigger deployment alerts

The changes allow users to enter and clear test values in inputFormat fields without affecting deployment state.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minor consideration for the collapsed field
• The logic is straightforward and solves the stated problem. Score is 4 (not 5) because the collapsed field might also need to be excluded from deployment comparison as it's UI-only state, similar to how isExpanded is handled for tools
• apps/sim/lib/workflows/utils.ts - consider excluding collapsed field from comparison
