  📝 Changelog Generation Process

  I'll validate the environment and generate a comprehensive changelog for your release.

  1. Validate Changelog Generation:

     echo "🔄 Now generating comprehensive changelog..."
     
     # Backup existing changelog if it exists
     if [ -f "changelog.md" ]; then
       cp changelog.md changelog.md.backup
       echo "📋 Backed up existing changelog.md"
       
       # Check if existing changelog has proper structure
       if grep -q "## \[Unreleased\]" changelog.md; then
         echo "✅ Existing changelog has proper structure, will preserve content"
         PRESERVE_EXISTING=true
       else
         echo "⚠️ Existing changelog doesn't follow Keep a Changelog format"
         echo "Will create new changelog with existing content as reference"
         PRESERVE_EXISTING=false
       fi
     else
       echo "📝 No existing changelog.md found, creating new one"
       PRESERVE_EXISTING=false
     fi
     
     # Get all git tags sorted by version
     ALL_TAGS=$(git tag --sort=-version:refname)
     
     # Get commits since last tag (unreleased changes)
     UNRELEASED_COMMITS=$(git log --oneline --no-merges $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "")..HEAD)
     
     echo "📊 Changelog generation summary:"
     echo "  - Total git tags: $(echo "$ALL_TAGS" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
     echo "  - Unreleased commits: $(echo "$UNRELEASED_COMMITS" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
     echo "  - Preserve existing: $PRESERVE_EXISTING"
