Sentry joins custom fingerprint values with no separator before hashing (hash_from_values in src/sentry/grouping/utils.py), so different arrays can collide, e.g. ["sync", "7", "42"] and ["sync", "74", "2"]. This adds a short note to the event grouping page with a workaround: label each value.

Addresses getsentry/sentry#128520. A code fix would re-hash existing custom-fingerprint groups, so this documents the current behavior instead.
