The rvgen generator builds a transition table indexed by source state
and event. A DOT specification with different destinations for the same
key is currently accepted, and the selected destination depends on the
iteration order of parsed transitions.

Reject duplicate state/event keys after sorting the transitions, before
generating the monitor. This prevents silently selecting an arbitrary
destination without changing valid automata.

OpenAI GPT-6 assisted in finding the issue, developing the fix and tests, and drafting the changelog. I reviewed the changes and take responsibility
for this contribution.

Fixes: cad252db78a9 ("verification/rvgen: Switch __create_matrix() to Lark")

Changes in v2:
- Drop the redundant hybrid-automaton regression fixture and test.
- Match the full traceback prefix in the negative assertion.
- Move detailed qualification results outside the permanent changelog.

Verification: original rvgen suite 30/30; revised suite 31/31;
64 deterministic/hybrid hash-seed replays rejected malformed models.
