Manifest release stuck in release-loop with the same commits in the changelog when absolute changelog-path is specified

[sztrzask]

Environment details

• release-please-action@4
• release-please version: 16.12.0

Steps to reproduce

I have a large monorepo, with releasable unit being a generated code. The structure basically looks like this:

/base/Agent
/overwrites/Agent
/generated/Agent[this is releasable and an output of base x overwrites]

(where Agent is one of the packages)

I don't want to keep the CHANGELOG.md in the generated directory because, well, it's always deleted and recreated from scratch, and there's a different automatically generated changelog being created there, that shows the API differences between the versions.

If I specify the absolute path to the CHANGELOG in the manifest to a new directory

/changelogs/Agent/CHANGELOG.md

the CHANGELOG is kept, but the release-please goes into a infinite loop

This is is the resulting changelog:

This is the top of branch history:

This is the .release-please-manifest.json that only release-please writes to:

{
  "physical/generated/schemas-resolved/Core.Agent": "1.6.0",
} 

And the config:

{
  "bootstrap-sha": "e5e75933ba0f50f79b1db2a32abc1045ed1d3f1f",
  "include-component-in-tag": true,
  "include-v-in-tag": true,
  "release-type": "simple",
  "separate-pull-requests": true,
  "packages": {
    "physical/generated/schemas-resolved/Core.Agent": {
      "package-name": "UDM.Core.Agent",
      "component": "UDM.Core.Agent",
      "changelog-path": "/physical/changelogs-release-please/UDM.Core.Agent/CHANGELOG.md"
    }
  },
  "changelog-sections": [
    {
      "type": "feat",
      "section": "Features"
    },
    {
      "type": "feature",
      "section": "Features"
    },
    {
      "type": "fix",
      "section": "Bug Fixes"
    },
    {
      "type": "revert",
      "section": "Reverts"
    },
    {
      "type": "docs",
      "section": "Documentation",
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "type": "refactor",
      "section": "Code Refactoring",
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "type": "test",
      "section": "Tests",
      "hidden": "true"
    },
    {
      "type": "ci",
      "section": "Continuous Integration",
      "hidden": "true"
    }
  ]
}

Is there a special release-type or another way to preserve the CHANGELOG in a directory different than the package?
