15-18: Fold issue link into existing bullet; remove duplicate change item.

Line 21 duplicates the “diagnostic messages moved to Write-Debug” point already covered in Lines 15–18 and violates the changelog guideline to avoid duplicate items. Integrate the issue reference into the existing bullet instead, and drop the extra line.
