Update Changelog

Update the project's changelog based on the commits in the current branch.

Instructions

Identify the changelog file
- Look for
```
CHANGELOG.md
```
  ,
```
HISTORY.md
```
  , or similar
- Note the existing format and style
Analyze the current branch
- Get the branch name:
```
git branch --show-current
```
- Get commits since branching from main:
```
git log main..HEAD --oneline
```
- Read the full commit messages for context:
```
git log main..HEAD
```
Categorize changes
- Group commits by type:
  - Added (new features)
  - Changed (modifications to existing features)
  - Fixed (bug fixes)
  - Removed (removed features)
  - Security (security fixes)
  - Deprecated (soon-to-be removed features)
Update the changelog
- Add a new "Unreleased" section if needed
- Write clear, user-facing descriptions (not just commit messages)
- Follow the existing format and style of the changelog
- Link to relevant issues/PRs if the project does that

Examples

"Update the changelog with my changes"
"Add my branch changes to CHANGELOG.md"
