Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Due to the inclusion of always = yes as an alternative limit for selecting heresies in heresy.0001, faiths can in rare occasions be selected as their own heresy.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
See the attached screenshot for the offending code from events/religion_events/heresy_events.txt. is_valid_heresy properly includes the check…

Code:
#The origin faith can never be its own heresy.
NOT = { $ORIGIN_FAITH$ = $HERETICAL_FAITH$ }

…but this is ignored in the fallback limit always = yes, which should probably be instead changed to NOT = { this = root } or similar. The remainder of the event already properly handles the case that a heresy is not selected.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Although this is exceptionally rare in the base game, it præsents a hurdle to modding single-faith religions, as they will always be selected as their own heresy if they are susceptible thereto. It is also entirely theoretically possible for it to affect a vanilla game anyway, so adding a sanity check makes sense even if it is definitely an edge case.
