docs(changelog): rewrite the last thirty releases for readers

Releases 1.13.1 through 1.22.1 are regrouped by what each change is
(New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc) and reworded in the voice the
changelog-authoring skill asks for: one or two plain sentences per
bullet, the symptom or the capability named, no mechanism. Packed
bullets were split, every fact and every contributor credit kept.
Older releases keep the mechanical grouping.

## App
### New
- Chat: finished agent replies can now show a short recap and a suggested next message, with separate settings for each and a Small Model setting for choosing the utility model used for those helpers.
- Voice: read-aloud can now use the Small Model to summarize long text before speaking it.
- Chat: the timeline dialog can now load older messages when the current session history has not all been fetched yet.
- **Chat:** a finished reply can show a short recap and a suggested next message. Each one has its own setting.
- Settings: a Small Model setting picks the model that writes recaps, suggestions, and other helper text.
- Voice: read-aloud can summarize long text with the Small Model before speaking it.
- Chat: the timeline dialog loads older messages when the session history is not fully fetched yet.
### Improvements
- Notes/Todos: adding selected chat text to notes now uses the Small Model to summarize it automatically.
- Git/GitHub: commit message and pull-request generation now use the Small Model from setting instead of sending message to chat.
- Chat: file references with line ranges like `src/file.ts:10-20` are now clickable in messages (thanks to @Catan).
- Mobile: the composer stays focused more reliably when the keyboard opens, and the dictation transcript grows the composer like typed text.
- Mobile: iOS PWA safe areas, keyboard overlays, and app-resume connection checks were tightened up.
- VSCode: favorite models now stay saved after restarting the extension (thanks to @Catan).
- VSCode: closing Settings returns to the previous extension view instead of always showing the sessions list (thanks to @Catan).
- Notes/Todos: adding selected chat text to a note summarizes it with the Small Model.
- Git/GitHub: commit messages and pull-request text are written by the Small Model from settings.
- Chat: file references with a line range like `src/file.ts:10-20` are clickable (thanks to @Catan).
- Mobile: the dictation transcript grows the composer the same way typed text does.
### Fixes
- Git/Diff: opening a changed file now jumps to the first changed line instead of the start of the diff hunk.
- Desktop: password-protected instances opened from desktop or a browser no longer take the mobile-only unlock path.
- Git/Diff: opening a changed file jumps to the first changed line.
- Mobile: the composer keeps focus when the keyboard opens.
- Mobile: iOS PWA safe areas, keyboard overlays, and the connection check on app resume behave correctly.
- Desktop: a password-protected instance opened from the desktop app or a browser gets the right unlock screen.
- VS Code: favorite models stay saved after the extension restarts (thanks to @Catan).
- VS Code: closing Settings returns to the view you came from (thanks to @Catan).
