### What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Dependabot created a PR with a title like `chore: bump the all group across 1 directory with 4 updates`. My CI system renamed the title to prepend a ticket to the title like `TICKET-123 chore: bump the all group across 1 directory with 4 updates`. When using `@dependabot rebase` I get
```
dependabot Bot changed the title TICKET-123 chore: bump the all group with 4 updates chore: bump the all group across 1 directory with 4 updates
```

This didn't happen before, please don't revert PR title edits.

Research direction

Start by tracing the @dependabot rebase command and the PR title update flow in Dependabot Core. Reproduce the issue with a CI-prefixed title, then verify that rebasing preserves the edited title instead of restoring the generated Dependabot title.
