Generate a changelog from git history.

Steps

Find the last tag

git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "no-tags"

Get commits since last tag
```
git log [last-tag]..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
```
If no tags, get last 50 commits.

Categorize commits by prefix:

Category	Prefixes
Features	feat:, feature:, add:
Bug Fixes	fix:, bugfix:, hotfix:
Performance	perf:
Refactoring	refactor:
Documentation	docs:, doc:
Testing	test:, tests:
CI/CD	ci:, cd:, build:
Chores	chore:, deps:, bump:
Breaking Changes	any commit with BREAKING CHANGE in body

If commits don't use conventional prefixes, categorize by content.

Generate CHANGELOG.md entry:

## [version] - YYYY-MM-DD

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

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

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

### Breaking Changes
- Description ([commit-hash])

If CHANGELOG.md exists, prepend the new entry at the top (after the title). If it doesn't exist, create it.
Show the generated changelog to the user.
