Description

I added a renderEntry to my beachball customRenderers and I can see it create new entries with that renderer.

Is there a command to rebuild my CHANGELOG.md files from the CHANGELOG.json so all the entries will have the new format?

Research direction

Start with the customRenderer definition in src/types/ChangelogOptions.ts and trace how CHANGELOG.json is converted into CHANGELOG.md files. Check the existing changelog or release entry points for a rebuild path; done means users can regenerate existing changelogs with the custom renderer, or the supported command is documented.
