docs: surface the ChatTwo IPC compatibility layer in v1.4.9 patch notes

Adds a "ChatTwo IPC compatibility layer" bullet across all six
release-note surfaces so the new behaviour from commits 8c4afaa and
655c903 is visible to users via the manifest installer, the Gitea
release page, the README project-status section, the changelog/roadmap
docs and the Forge-Discord announcement.

Files touched:
- HellionChat/HellionChat.yaml: bullet added inside the v1.4.9
  changelog block, preserved order so the regression-tripwire line
  still comes before the migration-stays line.
- repo.json: Changelog field kept synchronous (JSON-escaped newlines).
- README.md: project-status paragraph extended with a one-sentence
  recap of the IPC mirror and the conflict-detection caveat.
- docs/CHANGELOG.md: bullet inserted between the profiling-logs and
  migration-stays bullets, code-fenced gate names.
- docs/ROADMAP.md: v1.4.9-released section gets the same recap so the
  cycle history stays self-describing.
- .github/forge-posts/v1.4.9.md: German-only bullet for the Discord
  embed, slotted before the migration-v17 bullet. Char-cap holds —
  preflight Block C reports the embed total well under 5500 chars.
