Create a Beachball Change File

Generate a change file for the current branch's modifications using the repo's beachball setup.

Steps

Determine the change type:
- patch — bug fixes, internal refactors, test-only changes
- minor — new features, new exports, new component variants
- none — changes that don't affect the published package (stories, docs, tests only)
- Never use major without explicit user approval
Generate a descriptive message following the format: fix(package-name): description or feat(package-name): description
Run the repo's change script to create the change file:
```
yarn change
```
This runs beachball change --no-commit (configured in root package.json). Beachball automatically detects which packages need change files.

For non-interactive usage with a specific type and message:
```
yarn beachball change --no-commit --type <type> --message "<message>"
```
Verify the change file was created:
```
yarn check:change
```

Rules

Always use yarn change or yarn beachball change — never manually create change files
The message should describe the user-facing impact, not the implementation detail
