Pull request overview

This PR replaces the legacy changelog popup/UI (and its third-party library) with a new Compose-based changelog experience that supports richer content (platform tags, actions) and can be shown automatically after updates or opened from Settings.

Changes:

• Replaced the old info.hannes.changelog-backed flow with a new changelog/ feature (repository + ViewModels + Compose UI) and an auto-show navigation effect.
• Moved the current release’s authored changelog content into :common string resources (strings_changelog.xml) and a structured currentChangelog model.
• Updated navigation/tests/screenshots to cover the new changelog UI and removed the old XML changelog and library dependency.

Yes I don't see why we should reuse the old shared preferences. Doesn't really have anything special, just storing version numbers to compare. There is already a changelog related preference in our settings storage.

Once reviewed and agreed I'm going to update the device docs too.
