Run `git log` since $ARGUMENTS (if none is given, since the latest tag).

Group the changes under these headings, skipping any that are empty:

- New
- Improved
- Fixed

Write each item as one plain-English sentence about what a user will notice. Leave out internal refactors and dependency bumps unless they change behaviour.

Show the draft. Do not edit CHANGELOG.md until the user approves.
