Stress-testing the beta with request shapes we had not tried turned up two
more ways to hit the same class of bug. Roles were compared exactly, so a
client sending "Assistant" instead of "assistant" fell straight into the
dingus error. And content was assumed to be a string, so OpenAI's multipart
array form did the same. Roles are now compared case-insensitively and
content is flattened to text first; messages with no usable text are
skipped rather than mistaken for a slot. The slots are plain strings now,
so no caller can reach past them to a raw field again.
Separately: the Changelog button carries a dot when the current release
has not been opened yet, on the desktop button, the mobile menu item, and
the hamburger that hides it. The marker is the version in localStorage, so
every release brings it back on its own and reading it once clears it. The
version is a single constant now rather than being written in two places.

"New: a live CSS editor for your profile." The banner beside it already
names the platform, and so does the changelog entry; the line under the
version does not need to. "Live" earns its place there instead — the
preview is the thing that makes the editor worth opening.

Version heading bumped in both layouts, and the tagline under it now
points at the CSS editor instead of ECHO — the banner beside it is
advertising the editor, so the two now say the same thing.
Changelog entry is written for the people who hit this: they saw the
dingus error every time and had no way to know it was not their fault.
It says what happened in their terms and tells them to try again.
README's version log gets the matching line.
