Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR updates the changelog for version 2.79.0 by consolidating the entry for PR #7375 (database password encoding fix) from its YAML file into CHANGELOG.md and deleting the YAML file.

Issues found:

• The changelog entry was added to the ### Added section (line 34), but the original YAML file specifies type: Fixed, indicating this should be in the ### Fixed section instead

Confidence Score: 2/5

• This PR has a categorization error that should be corrected before merging
• The changelog entry is placed in the wrong section (Added instead of Fixed), which violates the changelog format conventions and could mislead readers about the nature of the change
• Pay close attention to CHANGELOG.md - the entry needs to be moved to the correct section
