Release 0.9.40-beta.1: preview orientation sync (bump, changelog, record)

[TheOrcDev]

Version bump to 0.9.40, changelog entry, and the release record.

Shipped: signed + notarized (Accepted, stapled), uploaded to R2 (all artifacts verified), feed serves 0.9.40 via www redirect, Discord announced.

Contents: preview orientation sync fix (#123) — the idle preview follows every orientation/size change while recording canvases stay fixed.

Verification: compositor + preview_surface suites 131 green ×4 runs; preview-lifecycle probe fails identically on the 0.9.39 baseline without #123 (pre-existing environment issue, documented in the record).
