Two follow-ups after the first real backport (#797).
Template syntax
prTitleused single braces, which the tool renders literally (visible as{commitMessages}in #797's title). The tool uses Handlebars double-brace tokens, switched to{{commitMessages}}/{{targetBranch}}. Also added a customprDescriptionthat matches the existing body format and drops the "Backport tool documentation" footer.Auto-assignee workaround
sorenlouv/backport-github-actionhardcodes the source PR's author as the backport PR's assignee. The action has no input to disable it and.backportrc.jsoncannot override it. Added a small companion workflow that listens forpull_request_target: assignedonbackport/*head refs and removes the just-added assignee. Theassigned→ removal cycle does not loop because removal emitsunassigned.
