GET /changelog answers under 50 ms with 500 entries, timed in a test #10733

GET /changelog with 500 release entries was over the 50 ms budget. It now answers in about 10 ms (median of three warm GETs). I couldn't call keep_plan here, so there is no plan on the issue.

Measured: before the fix the median was about 64 ms, and Server-Timing showed ~55 ms of that in the render step. After the fix it is about 10.9 ms (14.7, 9.4 and 10.9 ms).

What changed

• Fix: shippedRegion in src/web/pages/changelog.ts now keeps the rendered list per input. The key covers the landings, the repo filter, the zone, the live-time line, readability and the current minute, because rows say "5m ago". Up to 8 views are kept. A new merge or a new running commit changes the key, so the list re-renders at once. The other fix you suggested would have used a release-record version, but a hash of the inputs needed no new version counter.
• ETag: /api/v1/changelog and its ETag logic are untouched. test/changelog-etag.test.ts and the other changelog tests pass (175 pass, 1 skip).
• Test: test/changelog-timing.test.ts seeds 500 merged pulls and times three warm GETs. It uses the named constants BUDGET_MS = 50, ENTRIES and RUNS, and it prints the measured median.

bun x tsc --noEmit, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and bun scripts/gate.ts are clean.

Left out

• The page still reads at most 300 merged rows (ROWS in src/release/landings.ts), so "500 entries" means 500 in the database and the page lists the newest 300.
• The first request after any change still pays the full render, about 55 ms at this size.
• I did not cache the rest of the page (head, filters, layout).

Try it: open /changelog and reload. The list looks the same but the second load is faster. Run bun test test/changelog-timing.test.ts.

The first push was refused by the pre-push hook, which wants a commit saying how to try the change, so there is an empty "Try:" commit on the branch.
