10-293: Condense the “Added” section to ≤2 items.

Guidelines require describing notable changes briefly with ≤2 items per change type. Please consolidate the Added list into 1–2 high‑level bullets and move details to docs or sub-sections as appropriate. As per coding guidelines.

161-177: Remove the duplicated Backup-SqlDscDatabase entry.

The same addition is listed twice; please keep one occurrence.

🧹 Suggested removal (keep one entry)

In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Around line 6-9: The Unreleased section in CHANGELOG.md (the heading "##
[Unreleased]") is empty and must contain at least one entry; open the "##
[Unreleased]" block and add a brief bullet or short sentence describing changes
since 17.4.0 (or add the project’s established placeholder like "No changes
yet"), ensuring it sits above the "## [17.4.0] - 2026-01-19" heading and follows
the repository’s changelog phrasing conventions.
