fix(core): Correct tag range and commit grouping logic

This commit resolves the issue where  failed to
correctly generate changelogs for specified tag ranges (, ),
often only displaying changes for the latest tag.

The  method has been enhanced to accurately
fetch commits using Git's native revision range syntax. The 's
internal grouping logic () has been refined
to properly assign commits to their respective versions within the requested range.

This ensures that all relevant commits are included when filtering by tags,
providing accurate and complete changelogs for specific release cycles.
