DS-075: Add a design-system release checklist and change log #475

Description

@IbrahimIjai

Context

As shared tokens and components evolve, contributors need a predictable way to
document visual changes, migrations, accessibility impact, and breaking APIs.

Scope

  • Add a design-system changelog with an initial baseline entry.
  • Add a pull-request checklist for token or shared-component changes.
  • Define Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, and Accessibility sections.
  • Document deprecation and migration-note expectations.

Acceptance criteria

  • The checklist covers light/dark, keyboard, mobile, tests, screenshots, and API compatibility.
  • Changelog format includes dates and links to relevant issues/PRs.
  • Breaking changes require a migration note.
  • Accessibility fixes are visible rather than buried under general fixes.
  • Contribution documentation links to both artifacts.

Out of scope

  • Automating package releases.
  • Publishing the UI package to a public registry.
