Force commit messages and smart changelog

[a1ttech]

Problem

We currently update our versions and build our changelogs manually, which are a key piece of documentation for our migration and usage guides.

Considering the amount of devs, commits, PRs and projects (nx) this can be troublesome, and prone to forgetting key changes. Also, being an open source product allows anyone to contribute so we must enforce them to follow some rules to ease their contribution validation and incorporation.

Solution

Use a git hook to force developers to use a conventional commit message format and a PR requirement to have changelog documentation based on those.

Bonus: Use AI to pre-generate those messages.
