Subject: [PATCH] fix: exact-match dedupe check in recurring sprint issue
 workflow

The open-issue job trusted search total_count, but GitHub's issue
search is fuzzy and strips punctuation, so a different sprint's open
issue (e.g. Sprint 1) matched the query for the next sprint (Sprint 2)
and the job bailed without creating the issue. Filter results to an
exact title match before treating it as a duplicate, mirroring the
close-previous-issue job.
