Follow-up to #1857, wording only.

  • CHANGELOG.md upgrade note: say new pairings show Ubuntu instead of OpenWA. The exact label Chrome (Ubuntu) is what a pairing-code request sends; a QR pairing only carries the OS name, so the rendered label there is not known.
  • baileys-lifecycle.ts comment: replace the claim that the default passes WhatsApp server-side validation with the observed reason (some accounts reject a non-standard name on pairing-code linking).

No behavior change. npm run test:docs, prettier and eslint pass locally.

The upgrade note named the exact label Chrome (Ubuntu), which is what
a pairing-code request sends; a QR pairing only carries the OS name.
The code comment claimed the default passes server-side validation,
which nobody has verified. State what is known instead.
