Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

Installation issue.

### Brief description of your issue

## Problem
On ARM64 Windows, `winget install orhun.git-cliff` installs but does not make `git-cliff` usable as expected.

## Root cause
In `orhun.git-cliff` `2.13.1` installer manifest, ARM64 maps nested installer file to:

- `git-cliff-2.13.1/git-cliff-mangen.exe`

This appears to be the manpage generator binary rather than the main CLI (`git-cliff.exe`).

## Expected
ARM64 should map to the main executable:

- `git-cliff-2.13.1/git-cliff.exe`

## Suggested fix
Update ARM64 `NestedInstallerFiles.RelativeFilePath` in:

`manifests/o/orhun/git-cliff/2.13.1/orhun.git-cliff.installer.yaml`

from `git-cliff-mangen.exe` to `git-cliff.exe`.

### Steps to reproduce

`winget install orhun.git-cliff` on an ARM64 Windows machine

### Actual behavior

`git-cliff` is not available. Instead the `git-cliff-mangen` is.

### Expected behavior

`git-cliff` should be the tool linked and available.

Research direction

Open manifests/o/orhun/git-cliff/2.13.1/orhun.git-cliff.installer.yaml and inspect the ARM64 NestedInstallerFiles entry. Change its RelativeFilePath to git-cliff-2.13.1/git-cliff.exe, then validate the manifest and confirm that ARM64 installation exposes git-cliff rather than git-cliff-mangen.
