fix(sync): align stale version refs to v0.9.6.0, fix CHANGELOG date typo

- .env.example: v0.9.4.3 → v0.9.6.0 header
- hardware/SKILL.md: v0.9.4.3 → v0.9.6.0
- CHANGELOG.md: fix 2025 → 2026 date typo in [0.9.5.0]
- CHANGELOG.md: add missing [0.9.6.0] entry
- No version bumps — aligning existing references only
