Renovate shows empty changelog #811

Description

@ChrisRichner

Hi there,

In #768 we added the Renovate changelog annotation to the Dockerfile

Renovate now correctly detects the changelog location and links it to the PRs — however, because of the structure of the upstream changelog, the PR body ends up displaying an empty changelog section instead of the actual release notes.

Every release entry in your changelog.md looks like this wh

## [v1.82.0](https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr/releases/tag/v1.82.0) - 2026-09-08

## [1.82.0](https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr/compare/vv1.81.1...v1.82.0) (2026-09-08)


### Features

Renovate's changelog extractor scans for a heading that matches the released version and takes everything between that heading and the next heading of the same level. For v1.82.0, it matches the first heading (## v1.82.0 - 2026-09-08) — but the very next line is already another ## heading, so the extracted body is empty. The actual release notes live under the second heading.

Additionally, the second heading's compare links contain a typo — a doubled v:

https://github.com/DialmasterOrg/Youtarr/compare/vv1.81.1...v1.82.0

Expected Behavior

One heading per release with the release notes (Features / Bug Fixes / …) directly beneath it
