Add ComfyUI v0.26.0 changelog and CMS/i18n release improvements (#1177)

* Add ComfyUI v0.26.0 changelog and improve CMS/i18n release tooling.

Document the v0.26.0 release across EN/ja/zh/ko, split CMS prepare into EN simplify and locale translate steps, detect changelog block hash changes for re-translation, and record v0.26.0 as published in CMS.

* Allow CMS sync to update already-published release notes with --force.

* Clarify Krea2 aesthetic range in v0.26.0 changelog.

Highlight Krea's open-source image model with wide aesthetic and stylistic range in EN and sync zh/ja/ko translations.

* Document CMS bold section labels and fix published sync branch order.

Align skill/README with **Section** popup format (not ##) and reorder sync update-published handling for clarity.

+
+| Step | Command | What it does | Gate |
+|------|---------|--------------|------|
+| **1. Simplify EN** | `pnpm cms:prepare:en -- --force v0.26.0` | docs → LLM → `staging/en/` | Review EN staging |
+| **2. Translate** | `pnpm cms:prepare:locales -- --force v0.26.0` | `staging/en/` → `staging/{zh,ja,ko,fr,ru,es}/` | Review locale staging |
+| **3. Push CMS** | `pnpm cms:preview` then `pnpm cms:sync` | staging → Strapi **drafts** | Strapi review → `cms:publish` |
+
+`pnpm cms:prepare` without `--en-only` / `--translate-only` prints help and exits — use the step-specific scripts above.
+
+## Translation workflow (CMS staging)

+
+**Key points:**
+
+- `cms:prepare:locales` does **not** re-simplify English — it reads existing `staging/en/` only
+- If staging EN is missing the version, translate fails — run `cms:prepare:en` first
+- Target locales: **zh, ja, ko, fr, ru, es** (see `cms-config.json`)
+- `--force` re-translates existing locale blocks (common after manual EN edits)
