Build Changelog

Generate a formatted changelog from git history since the last tag.

1. Find Last Tag

Using git, find the most recent tag:

Look for semantic version tags (v1.0.0, 1.2.3, etc.)
If no tags exist, use the first commit as the starting point

2. Gather Commits

Get all commits since the last tag:

Exclude merge commits (focus on actual changes)
Include commit hash, message, author, and date

3. Categorize Changes

Group commits by type based on commit message patterns:

4. Build the Changelog

Format the changelog:

# Changelog

## [Unreleased] — YYYY-MM-DD

### Features
- Description of feature ([commit hash])

### Bug Fixes
- Description of fix ([commit hash])

### Improvements
- Description of improvement ([commit hash])

### Other
- Description ([commit hash])

---
**X commits** by Y contributors since LAST_TAG

5. Present and Save

Present the changelog. Offer to:

Save it to
```
CHANGELOG.md
```
in the repo
Copy it to clipboard for a GitHub release
Append to existing changelog

Notes

Link commit hashes if the repo has a remote URL
Combine related commits into single entries where it makes sense
Keep descriptions user-facing — "added dark mode" not "refactored theme provider"
If the repo uses conventional commits, categorization is automatic
