fix: skip release-please on changelog PR merge

[Jacksunwei]

Problem

When the release-please changelog PR is merged to release/candidate, it triggers two workflows:

1. Release: Finalize (via pull_request: closed) - Success
2. Release: Please (via push: release/candidate) - Failure

The second run fails because Release: Finalize is already handling the branch (creating release/v{version} and deleting release/candidate).

Fix

Skip Release: Please when the commit message starts with chore(release (the release-please commit prefix):

if: "!startsWith(github.event.head_commit.message, 'chore(release')"

This ensures:

• Normal pushes (cherry-picks, fixes) → Run release-please
• Changelog PR merge → Skip (handled by Release: Finalize)
