Add a changelog - #27

Built from the actual merge history, not from memory. Every PR number cited was verified to exist in origin/main, and every spec referenced was verified to exist on disk. Two conventions that make it useful rather than decorative. Player impact is called out explicitly. Anything marked REQUIRES PACK RE-IMPORT means every family must download the pack again or be refused at the FML handshake. That distinction cost an evening when Ad Astra shipped, because the difference between a server-side mod and a client-required one is invisible until nobody can connect. Wrong diagnoses are recorded, not quietly dropped. The Chunky entry says the stated reason was wrong and points at the PR that disproved it. The base-image bump says it did not fix the CVEs it targeted. The playtime limiter entry says the control had already been silently off for weeks rather than presenting its removal as a tidy-up. Those are the entries most likely to save someone time later; a changelog that only lists successes teaches nothing about the failure modes of this system.

Covers
Everything from the initial commit (2026-04-16) through the health check and POC-mode work, including the security posture changes: pull-based GitOps, public SSH closure, container hardening, the malware audit, and immutable mod pinning.
