Pull request overview
This PR updates the changelog entry generation logic to avoid duplicated leading action verbs when PR titles already start with a verb that matches the changelog prefix (e.g., preventing “Added added …”).
Changes:
- Added a prefix-to-leading-verb regex map to detect and strip duplicated verb forms from the start of titles.
- Introduced
removeLeadingDuplicateVerb(prefix, title)and integrated it intobuildEntry(...)so entries render without repeated verbs.

Auto changelog generation was duplicating action words when PR titles already started with a verb (for example,
feat: added...rendering asAdded added...). This change normalizes entry titles so the changelog prefix and title body do not repeat the same verb.What changed
