Here’s my solution: I have a github action that checks if the changelog was touched in the diff. It fails tests if not. It’s impossible to rewind your brain to the time of when the change is made to consider the total impact to the end user. The best time to write a changelog is when the change happens. For minor stuff that doesn’t need to be in the changelog, the action checks a label and passes if “skip changelog” is applied. But the default is “hey, you forgot to tell users what they should expect with your change”
