release: v0.4.6

[mobileskyfi]

Promotes [Unreleased] → ## [0.4.6] and bumps package.json to 0.4.6, so release.yml can publish. No code changes.

Even minor (0.4.x) → npm tag latest, stable release.

bun scripts/release-prep.ts --from-package resolves cleanly against this branch:

version=0.4.6
npm-tag=latest
from-package=true

Headline

The Apple Silicon arm64 CHR crash fix (#97, #99) — auto-select TCG on all Apple Silicon instead of panicking under HVF, plus the new --accel / QUICKCHR_ACCEL escape hatch.

Why the changelog leads with a request for testers

Shipping is what makes the last open question answerable. The arm64 HVF panic is grounded in the mikropkl#11 reporter's M4 diagnostics plus QEMU/Linux source, but nobody has reproduced it on a physical Apple Silicon Mac we control — and CI structurally cannot, since hosted macOS runners report kern.hv_support=0 and never exercise HVF at all.

The escape hatch turns that into a one-command check for anyone with the hardware:

quickchr start --arch arm64 --accel hvf

The changelog asks for the result either way. A successful boot would be just as valuable as a panic — it would mean the fallback is scoped too broadly and should be narrowed.
