docs(changelog): rewrite v1.4.0.0 headline — positive voice, no VC framing

The original headline led with "a PDF you wouldn't be embarrassed to send
to a VC": double-negative voice and audience-too-narrow. /make-pdf works
for essays, letters, memos, reports, proposals, and briefs. Framing the
whole release around founders-to-investors misses the wider audience.

New headline: "Turn any markdown file into a PDF that looks finished."
New tagline: "This one reads like a real essay or a real letter."

Positive voice. Broader aperture. Same energy.

## [1.4.0.0] - 2026-04-20
## **Turn any markdown file into a PDF you wouldn't be embarrassed to send to a VC.**
## **Turn any markdown file into a PDF that looks finished.**
The new `/make-pdf` skill takes a `.md` file and produces a publication-quality PDF. 1 inch margins. Helvetica. Page numbers in the footer. Running header with the doc title. Curly quotes, em dashes, ellipsis (…). Optional cover page. Optional clickable table of contents. Optional diagonal DRAFT watermark. Copy any paragraph out of the PDF and paste it into a Google Doc: it pastes as one clean block, not "S a i l i n g" spaced out letter by letter. That last part is the whole point. The current state of the art in "markdown to PDF" tools is a legal document that's been through a scanner three times. This is the one that looks like a Stripe letter.
