Subject: [PATCH] fix(changelog): emit publishedAt in generated changelog
 frontmatter

The generator never wrote a publishedAt field, so every auto-generated
changelog landed without the sidebar NEW badge (lib/source.ts derives the
badge from publishedAt within a 10-day window). Set it to the window's
upper-bound date, matching the date label already used for the branch name.
