Pull request overview
Fixes bot filtering in generate-changelog.mjs by aligning the ignore list entries with the GitHub API author.login format (no leading @) and expanding the ignored bot/app actors.
Changes:
- Updated
ignoreListto remove the leading@fromautofix-ci[bot]so it matchesauthor.login. - Added additional bot/app actors to
ignoreList(app/copilot-swe-agent,app/github-actions,github-actions[bot]).
