Update CHANGELOG.md

Analyze logs for generic exit code 1 and export an ERROR_CATEGORY_OVERRIDE so telemetry receives a more accurate error category (apt, oom, network, storage, dependency). Preserve any existing TELEMETRY_TYPE when posting updates. Add defense-in-depth by disabling strict error traps before running grep/sed log analysis to avoid spurious error_handler invocations. Mark successful installs with INSTALL_COMPLETE and update the error handler to only report a successful "done" telemetry state when INSTALL_COMPLETE is explicitly set, preventing false-positive success reports from early zero-exit exits.
