Description

Currently, if a monorepo package is released during a major version bump but hasn't changed, the changelog is by default empty. We should consider adding some kind of default so as to not confuse readers.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the action's changelog generation entry point and tracing how unchanged monorepo packages are handled during a major release. Done means a released-but-unchanged package receives a defined default changelog entry, with coverage for that scenario.
