Reduce noise in the duplicate-surfacing comment per maintainer feedback: - Drop the '(surfaced automatically for maintainer review...)' parenthetical from the header. - Reword guidance to address the issue submitter/contributor (self-review) instead of maintainers; remove the 'Duplicate of #NNN' instruction (also avoids surfacing the auto-close trigger phrase). - Replace the auto-generated 'Generated by ... AIC ...' footer with a consolidated Template tag + run link via safe-outputs.messages.footer.

📖 Description
Reduces noise in the Duplicate Surfacing workflow's comment, per maintainer feedback in #6412.
Three changes to
.github/workflows/duplicate-surfacing.md(and its regenerated.lock.yml):Header — drop the
(surfaced automatically for maintainer review — this issue has **not** been closed)parenthetical. The comment is now just**Possible duplicates:**.Guidance — reword from maintainer-facing to contributor-facing: thank the submitter, ask them to review the candidates, and — if one matches — to 👍 that issue and close this one as a duplicate. Keeps the note that older/curated issues are preferred as canonical. Removes the
Duplicate of #<number>instruction (maintainers already know the trigger, and this avoids surfacing the auto-close phrase in the comment body).Footer — replace the auto-generated
> Generated by 🔁 Duplicate Surfacing … · sonnet46 · NN AIC · …footer with a single consolidated line viasafe-outputs.messages.footer:This keeps the
Template:tag (for email-filter rules) and a link back to the workflow run, while dropping the token/cost metadata noise. Rendered as an H6 heading (######) to visually de-emphasize it. The invisible<!-- gh-aw-… -->dedup markers are unaffected (they're added separately and are required so the workflow doesn't re-comment).Rendered comment (after)
