📝 docs: add changelog entry for 0.5.1

When a tag is deleted and recreated, the CI tried to POST a new
release that already existed, getting 409 and leaving RELEASE_ID
null, which caused asset uploads to fail with 405. Now checks for
an existing release by tag and deletes it before creating a new one.

+## [0.5.1] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Fixed
+- Tmux window creation now targets windows by name instead of numeric index, eliminating
+  "index in use" and "can't find window" errors when `base-index` is not 0
+- Self-update asset name corrected from `x86_64-linux` to `tmuxido-x86_64-linux` to match
+  what CI actually uploads, fixing 404 on `--update`
+- CI release pipeline now deletes any existing release for the tag before recreating,
+  preventing 409 Conflict errors on retagged releases
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Added
+- Interactive configuration wizard on first run with styled prompts
+- `lipgloss` dependency for beautiful terminal UI with Tokyo Night theme colors
+- Emoji-enhanced prompts and feedback during setup
+- Configure project paths interactively with comma-separated input
+- Configure `max_depth` for project discovery scanning
+- Configure cache settings (`cache_enabled`, `cache_ttl_hours`)
+- Configure default session windows interactively
+- Configure panes within each window with custom names
+- Configure startup commands for each pane (e.g., `nvim .`, `npm run dev`)
+- New `ui` module with styled render functions for all prompts
+- Comprehensive summary showing all configured settings after setup
+
+## [0.4.2] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Fixed
+- Version mismatch: bumped Cargo.toml version to match release tag, fixing `--update` false positive
+
+## [0.4.1] - 2026-03-01
+
+### Added
+- Self-update feature (`tmuxido --update`) to update binary from latest GitHub release
+
 ## [0.4.0] - 2026-03-01
