docs(changelog): restore #420/#423/#425/#426 entries dropped by #429 (#430)

PR #429 took CHANGELOG.md from HEAD (post-#419 squash) instead of
merging it from the pre-squash main state, so the four entries that
had landed via #428 backfill (#426) and the squashes of #420/#423/#425
were silently dropped from [1.45.0].

This restores all four to the same positions they originally had,
keeping the existing #419 entry intact.

+### Queue — Drag Outside to Remove
+
+**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), PR [#420](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/420)**
+
+You can remove a track from the play queue by dragging its row **outside** the queue sidebar (main window) or outside the mini player’s queue list. Drop targets still support reordering when you release inside the queue area.
+
+The drag ghost shows a **trash** affordance only while the cursor is outside the queue bounds; inside the queue it behaves as a normal reorder drag. The mouse-event `psy-drop` path now carries cursor coordinates so removal can be detected when the drop target is not the queue panel itself.

+### Statistics — Shareable Top-Albums Card
+
+**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#425](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/425)**
+
+Statistics page can now export your most-played albums as a shareable PNG, accessible via a share icon next to the **Most Played Albums** section header. Three aspect ratios for different platforms (Story 9:16, Square 1:1, Twitter Card 16:9), three grid sizes (3×3, 4×4, 5×5), with each cover carrying a thin info strip showing rank + play count.
+
+The card pulls the wordmark and accent color directly from the active theme, so a Catppuccin export looks Catppuccin and a Nord export looks Nord. Cover art reuses the existing IndexedDB cache, so no extra Subsonic round-trips on repeat exports. The header label is hardcoded English ("Top Albums") so a shared image stays legible to followers regardless of their language.
+
+Saving uses the native OS save dialog — no silent dump into Downloads, the user picks the path each time. Data source is local-only (Subsonic `getAlbumList(frequent)`); Last.fm is intentionally not used. There is no time-window selector because Navidrome's API exposes only cumulative play counts, not per-event play history.

The seek now runs on the bare source before append, and the progress-ring animation only starts once the engine actually emits `audio:preview-start` — a small loading spinner is shown during the download/decode/seek warmup. The preview HTTP-client timeout was raised from 30 s to 5 min, so multi-hundred-megabyte Hi-Res files no longer abort the download mid-fetch.

The WASAPI render thread is now promoted to MMCSS "Pro Audio" via `AvSetMmThreadCharacteristicsW`, so it survives priority contention from competing graphics work. Reproed and validated under a Half-Life parallel-load stresstest. Companion mitigations for high-GPU situations: cosmetic UI animations now pause when the window loses OS focus, and a new **Reduce animations** toggle in **Settings → Appearance** caps animated seekbar styles (pulsewave, particletrail, liquidfill, retrotape) to 30 fps for users on GPU-constrained machines (off by default).
