Custom types not matching as expected

[Indemnity83]

Describe the bug

I defined custom types that include an emoji, but when I run the action the validation fails even though the PR title uses one of the type options and it is unclear why the workflow doesn't think it matches.

To reproduce

Setup custom types with emoji's:

with:
  types: |
    ✨ feat
    🐛 fix
    📝 docs
    💎 style
    ♻️ refactor
    📈 perf
    🧪 test
    🏗️ build
    📦 ci
    🧹 chore
    ⏪️ revert

Generate a PR with one of these types in the title "📦 ci: run tests"

Expected behavior

I'd expect this to pass validation, but it fails with the following message:

No release type found in pull request title "📦 ci: run tests". Add a prefix to indicate what kind of release this pull request corresponds to. For reference, see https://www.conventionalcommits.org/

Available types:
 - ✨ feat
 - 🐛 fix
 - 📝 docs
 - 💎 style
 - ♻️ refactor
 - 📈 perf
 - 🧪 test
 - 🏗️ build
 - 📦 ci
 - 🧹 chore
 - ⏪️ revert

This might be a duplicate of #257

Digging a bit deeper, it looks like an issue with the regex used by conventional-commit-parser. It expects a single word.

/^(\w*)(?:(([\w$.-* ])))?: (.)$/

That library also appears to be 8 years without an update so not much point in trying to fix that.

Possibly, would need to replace that library with something like https://commitlint.js.org/api/lint

conventional-commits-parser? It looks actively maintained to me, no?
